The text revolving around the Laughing Man's logo reads: "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." This is actually a quote from J.D. Salinger's classic novel "The Catcher in the Rye"; additionally, the Laughing Man's name comes from a short story of the same name by Salinger. See more »Quotes

I am a big fan of the movie, and was pleased to see it made the transition into a series.
It's very well done, with well-balanced action and with the same characters we all know from the movie, plus some more.
Though the episodes trickle out very slowly, I'm always looking forward to each one. This series should be in any animewatchers collection, and even if one does not usually watch anime.
