The J&W TV series is definitely worth it if you can manage the d/l, and the books are well-worth buying...I've only read the earlier ones myself, but must get the rest.
And speaking of LOL...CLAMP. Oh, CLAMP. The beautiful but utterly nonsensical X/1999 film was one of the first anime movies I saw (mainly because it features Seki Tomokazu) and the final bit on Tokyo Tower, when Kamui is cradling Fuuma's severed head, had me in hysterical fits of laughter because, uhhh, my sense of humor is terrible like that. So that colored my first CLAMP impression. In general I like their work (best when it's light and sweet, like CCS or Wish) but I can never quite take it seriously; the angst is as stylized as the art, and this amuses more than affects me...
