5 Reasons To Watch: Mahoromatic
The example of a monster invasion breaking up the obligatory beach episode stands out, but is hardly the silliest Mahoromatic storyline.

5 Reasons To Watch: Squid Girl
Fish-out-of- water comedy tends to be rather predictable, but Squid Girl taps into some very good material for its comedy.

5 Reasons To Watch: Hellsing (2001)
To kill a vampire, you need more than a stake to the heart or a 9mm to the face. Hellsing's vampires are borderline eldritch in nature.
