I specifically said I should watch more. Perhaps I was being a bit harsh

, but the concept certainly is overused. I can understand the seeing the rest of the episodes bit, since if I had seen Speak Like a Child before any other Cowboy Bebop episode, I probably wouldn't have bothered watching more (great episode, but certainly not the one you should watch first). However, any other episode would have me hooked. Thing with a Mario level is I doubt there's one that wouldn't make me want to play another. Each episode should be a microcosm for the entire series, and while that's not always the case, it usually is.
I might watch more episodes of it, though I have no particular desire to. I'm not trying to imply that it's a bad series, just not something I would enjoy watching. . . a show that revolves around a philosophy, to me, is boring. I watch them to have fun, and I can certainly develop my own philosophies. To others, maybe like you, it's much better than something without one, say, Invader Zim. But I'll give it a try, if I get the opportunity.
