 Review: The Violinist of Hameln, by NotHayama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The Hameln movie was the first animation made and is much closer to the original manga than the insanely depressing TV series.
The humor in The Violinist of Hameln is much better suited to the printed page than to animation--it would take a really great animation studio with awesome writers and animators to really pull off Watanabe-sensei's humor.
The Violinist of Hameln in its various forms is definitely worth a shot--for those of you who are willing to be patient and deal with something weird, there are some good payoffs.
