Episode 7 is truly great. I read a scathing review of ef on a different blog. Apparently some people think the seemingly random application of different artistic effects throughout ef didn't serve as clear a purpose as they do in animes such as Evangelion, and for this reason everything else is dragged down. I strongly disagree. I like ef for the same reasons you described. Episode 7 is truly great.

So I agree it's important to recognise Ef as something that goes beyond the required boundaries and is free of some of the essential aspects most of "anti-fans" abhore of melodramas in general. I wouldn't try too hard with recommendations though, since viewers of anime typically are close-minded and lack attention span and is happy enjoying things limited to their own little niche *wooo go stereotyping It’s healthy as a viewer to always be open to different genres, so for recommendations in a form of review, blog or forum post addressed to large population.
