I think you have been sucking on that crack pipe for too long or just really exaggerating.
The plot is thin. But there's a plot nevertheless.
I saw this anime about 5 years ago and still find it to be one of the dopest. Eventhough it doesn't really have an ending.
Yes, you reading correctly. Because there weren't any chapters in the manga at the time the anime was in production the series stopped.
So if your interested in knowing what happens after episode 42, read the manga.

AF-F is the only group currently doing Flame of Recca so if you want it, you should visit their anime channel on IRC or get it of bittorrent.
