Why you should read/watch it: Oh, because it is just so good. No, seriously. :D It's got the best plot of any Takahashi series, rather than being based around a premise; the action sequences are all good but even better are the characters and their interactions within the stories. The manga is excellent, the anime - with some exceptions - is excellent; the character designs are great, the animation is fantastic for being a tv series, the acting is awesome, the dub is excellent, even the filler episodes are usually better-than-average. It's also damn funny, very dramatic, occasionally terrifying, and once in a while heartbreaking.
