I love the darkness of the anime; it's what always drew me to it. That it had such off-the-wall moments but then could completely fuck you up. It always reminds me about how I accidentally recorded Muppets Christmas Carol on the ep where the little girl dies. Like right at the end of the episode. So there's horrible bloody Scar murdering the dog-girl and then YAY HAPPY MUPPET CHRISTMAS MUSIC. Best thing ever.
