Is there anything good coming out in the anime world?

Well I heard AIR has got the same feeling as Kanon (well, the same people made it, so that shouldn't be a surprise) and that series is one of my favorites. So I'm expecting a lot.

I already have all of Kanon's episodes. Now that I know it was made by the same people who made AIR I really have to watch it, although it won't happen before I finish Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo which I began watching yesterday. Looks like a cool series this one. The story is basicaly the story of The Count of Monte Cristo but as it says in the trailer: "In futuristic Paris, a punk opera unfolds". I think this sentence really says it all, it's a futuristic, punk version of The Count of Monte Cristo. The really bizarre thing about this series is the visual aspect. The textures move, or better they don't move at all which is what gives a feel of moving textures. Every time a character moves the hair and clothes' textures don't move with the character creating that weird effect. What makes the effect even weirder is the fact that those textures are unusual, the characters' hair looks like it's made of marble. Well, it's different but it's not worse because of it.
