Well, you could always show him some episodes of "Nurse Angel Ririka SOS"
The series that convinced me that there indeed is bad anime.

As Magical Girls series go, "Nurse Angel" is at least as good as Sailor 
Moon at its best.  It has good (for TV) animation, a consistent and 
coherent overall plot, one where the fights are all nicely consistent as 
well, none of this gross one episode, useless the next stuff that Sailor 
Moon is so fond of.  

I don't deny that certain episodes of the series are pretty boring and 
could easily be tossed without any regrets, but there are far fewer such 
episodes than in any of the Sailor Moon series I've watched.

All-in-all I'd recommend "Nurse Angel" to any one who liked "Sailor 
Moon".  And if you can get hold of the subtitles, look carefully at the 
words to the opening song - they're great!

Hmm- have to add in a definite agree! to this- Ririka and Seiya are so
cute... ^_^ and when Dewey comes in, it's very good- the quality is almost
always better than Sailor Moon, and its fundamental idea of healing is a
nice thing too... SM is nice, but it does suffer from too much filler- the
reason I like the manga better- but I digress. Hmm- the song itself is
really good too- it gets stuck in my head so easily... 

 
Well I have to disagree a bit here, I like Nurse Angel and all but I still
don't think it's up to SM quality (well if you get rid of the filler and
all that junk which really does drag down the anime version). Of course I
still have a bit more of Nurse Angel to go through so my opinion a bit. OP
is very good though, it stuck in my head right away...^^

Another recomendation for a real good Magical girl show (and this one more
of an old style one then the Sentai style action of Ririka and BSSM) is
Hime-chan's no Ribbion. Up to epsiode 19 on the series and you just have
to love the chemistry between Himeko and Daichi...^^ I need to see more
(Add to that the fact that I need to finish Miracle Girls, is somebody
going to fansub past epsiode 24?)
 
Ja ne!!
