The Oblongs: The Complete Series (DVD, 2005)

A friend turned me on to this twisted series, and once I viewed it I decided I must have a copy to call my own. I purchased this copy on eBay and was not disappointed. The Oblongs, a bizarre anime series created by a guy whose name really is "Oblong," is about the lives of a family affected by the toxic effluent from a chen=mical factory. The stories address social class issues in a hilarious yet scathing way, and the characters are compellingly weird but relevant. The Oblongs have no reverence and have fun with everything. No sacred cows here! A wonderful romp through political incorrectness.
