I am back after my absence (I decided to come back later from my Christmas vacations...).

I like Excel Saga a lot. I've watched it more than once. It's one of the anime series that makes me laugh whenever I watch it, no matter how many times I see it. It's great fun! It takes some time to get used to that genre of nonsense I suppose, especially if you expect classic anime comedy. FLCL and Excel Saga sort of have in common only the use of nonsense IMO, but they're really different series. I can say that I agree with Reid that the style of Excel Saga is a bit generic, speaking of drawing and animation, but it doesn't really matter. It fits the humor pretty well and it's not annoying like it often happens for other genres (adventure or dramatic anime mainly, when at least a strong and peculiar style is needed when the plot is not very original...).
