I agree, that doesn't mean it isn't painful to watch.

I watched a documentary about a kid with aspegers and it was one of the most interesting films I've seen in years, but I could only get through half of it

Is it a harem comedy?

It's called Billy the Kid and I'm pretty sure it's on Hulu. Too lazy to get the link

It's a slice of life comedy. It's about an incredibly awkward shut-in that has very poor social skills.

I tend to like awkward comedy. Is it worth checking out?

See for yourself. But the intros are fucking stupid.

I haven't seen any new anime in a long time.
Some of my favorites are: Perfect Blue, Lain, Ranma 1/2, Project Ako, Sailormoon, Spirited Away, Grave of the Fireflies, and Ponyo.
Any suggestions?

Check it out. It may be "entry level" but it's one of the best anime I've ever seen

Weird question. Is it a giant robot anime?

Yes, it's starts out as mecha but later on it gets really psychological and mindfuckish, not quite on the same level as Lain but close.

Recommendations for kook:

If you liked Sailor Moon, try these:
Tokyo Mew Mew, Mermaid Melody, Precure, Madoka, Onegai My Melody, Magical Meow Meow Taruto

Kampfer, Mahou Sensei Negima, Asobi Ni Iku Yo (Cat Planet Cuties), Kanon, Nyan Koi

Thank you. Are any of these creepy or depressing?

I'll try it tonight. thanks

In what sense of creepy or depressing? I'm pretty sure the majority of the movies/OVAs listed as similar to the Ghibli films would be safe for watching with a ten year old. (Summer Wars and all of it's high tech stuff may be a bit too mind-fucking for ten and under in my opinion.)

Mahou Sensei Negima (Negima?) is slightly sexually perverted creepy in the way Negi has to make magic contracts. Asobi Ni Iku Yo might be sci-fi creepy but for sure the boobs are there. Kampfer has gender-bending, Nyan Koi has large breast moments, Kanon may be too girly, cute or fluffy for some... Ask me if you want to know more. I try to be careful when recommending anime because I know picky people as well as those who might be easily offended.

And by the way, I'm actually very interested in WataMote now.

I'm going to check out one episode of Watemote, and one of Evangelion tonight.

By creepy I dont mean gender bending. Its hard to explain. Kind of like eerie storyline/imagery that sticks with you.

None of the recommendations were horror if that's what you mean. I thought you would be okay with genderbending with how Ranma 1/2 has a lot of it, I am more accustomed to typing for a large crowd. But keep in mind some say Madoka is like a more adult version of the magical girl genre...
