While I've sampled plenty of ecchi anime and manga of all sorts, I never really developed a taste for the prevailing Japanese styles, especially as the market flooded with more and more sub-par product in the last fifteen years. Being the guy who grew up reading superhero comics in the 80's and 90's, my tastes locked in on more Western cartoon sensibilities pretty early on. Then, when I was about 13 or 14, I discovered Heavy Metal Magazine, and had one of those threshold moments. I had managed to get my hands on an issue that contained a story by Alfonso Azpiri, a chapter of his story Reflections. When I got to this page, I knew that superheroes would never satisfy me again:
I've always found the genres of adult sci-fi and fantasy coming out of Europe to be really great, and oddly overlooked. So, since it's all cartoons, I think it would be cool to include it with the stuff coming out of Asia.
Ah the old "tits and entrails" what Heavy Metal should have been called. The French "Metal Hurlant" is much better if you are a teenage boy.
Apparently there is a now TV series of it
