General curiosity here...

I just finished watching Minami-ke Okawari (fansubbed), and now I'm watching Kare Kano on DVD.

Just finished watching Season 1 of Gundam 00, which was I found absolutely amazing. Watched ep.1 of Bus Gamer a couple days back and it seems like it could be interesting. I've been finding I've been watching less and less recently. Hopefully I'll find some good ones to watch this season. Don't know what but didn't find much to watch last season. If you have any suggestions let me know I'm always looking for something good to watch.

Need to finish watching Legend of Galactic Heroes (stalled somewhere around ep 90)

Get on the Legend of the Galactic Heroes bandwagon with me and Jecks. ;D

I'll just list my favorite anime.

Revolutionary Girl Utena.
Serial Experiments: Lain.
Death Note.
Strawberry Panic (I don't know why either.)
NANA.
Evangelion.
Eureka Seven
Mai-hime,
Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei.


That should give you a sense of what I like.

Well, for me I'm watching the 14th episode of Death Note.

I forgot about crunchy roll.

Do they have Ergo Proxy?

Any good anime then?

I'm still in a huge anime drought.

I tried watching 00 but couldn't get through the first episode. Does it pick up afterwards ?

I'm currently re-watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th M.S. Team. Those are two of my favorite series of all time!

Dr. Strangelove: I guess? I don't know I enjoyed the series the entire way through so... I'd recommend giving it another shot.

I agree with what Eryn said, I guess they first set the elements in before letting go of a chain reaction. :3

Quick impressions of some first episodes of the new season.

Allison and Lillia: Bright colours, simple character designs, a Dog of Flanders-eqsue setting, and biplanes. Pretty damn good overall, but there was an intangible... something missing. I think it was to do with the fact that Allison just hardly ever stopped got-damn smiling. Overall, she felt more like an incomplete template for "spunky tomboy" than an actual character. Hopefully we get to see more depth for her as the series goes on.

Wagaya no Oinari-sama: I've seen a couple blogs criticize this episode as being unbearably slow. I don't know where they got that impression - I only felt it to be a little slow in a few parts. Most of the perceived slowness probably comes from the fact that most of this episode is just talking, but the talking covered a fair amount of exposition and was decently written, so I didn't mind that at all. I especially liked listening to Tenko Kuugen's dialogue, both for the writing and the voice performance. The dual male-female effect in fox form was simple, but it worked, and in female form, Yukana did a great job making Tenko sound self-assured and badass. :) The only parts that worry me are Kou (the token tsundere), and the sharp turn to wacky comedy at the very end of the episode. There was pretty much one funny part in that comedy sequence, and that was Kou riding in the luggage rack.

Kamen no Maid Guy: I'm not sure what to think about this one. Ridiculously muscled and burly guy in maid costume ++! :D Constant molestation jokes - -! :( Naeka's not a bad lead female, despite all the cleavage and panty shots she's subjected to. I am also strangely drawn to Fubuki, the more traditional anime maid (who seems to have borrowed Dokuro-chan's tactics for dealing with people). And I can understand that the Maid Guy's perviness is mainly due to a lack of knowledge about what "perverted" actually means, but... ugh, that scene where he slits the front of Naeka's clothes open and pokes around in her breasts and bra really rubbed me the wrong way (pun not intentional). Maybe I'll give it another episode or two to see if that unsettling feeling gets stronger or weaker.

Still want to check out Kurenai, Golgo 13, Library War, and Vampire Knight. Possibly might check out Soul Eater and Nabari no Ou.

EDIT: Also, second episode of Druaga!

Second episode was a bit of a let-down, with a more standard fantasy plot and almost no humour whatsoever. Still fairly enjoyable, though (save for the unbelievably cliched "oh noes! the king's assassin got away, and now the guards have caught our hero in the worst possible position by the bloody corpse!" bit at the end). Jil's not a bad male lead; far from the most interesting guy ever, but serviceable. I'm digging the character designs and voice cast all around. And I'm actually fairly impressed at how they've managed to rationalize a classic multi-floor video game dungeon into a real fantasy plot. The plot itself... nyegh, it's GONZO. Not the best track record for plot. But I'm willing to give it a chance. I'll at least follow this for a few more episodes, if only to pay for the high quality downloads.

I'm not watching any anime at the moment.

I'm watching Cowboy Bebop.

You mean 4 people. I like BGC2040 as well. It was one of the few anime series broadcast on Australian TV, so I saw it pretty early in my anime life.

Make it five.

Woo, hooray for more people watching Utena. :D As Stephen Colbert would put it, what would you say of Utena: great anime... or greatest anime?

I'm watching Air Gear again. I so want a pair of Air Trecks for my next birthday! lol;

Princess Tutu was one of my favorites along with Ouran High School Host Club.

I really dislike Gunslinger Girl.

I'm watching Wolf's Rain and probably going to start watching Death Note.
I need some opinions. Do you think Death Note lives up to all its hype?

I don't know about the anime, as I've only seen up to episode 8. The Death Note manga, however, lives up to the hype until volume 7. After that, it's a slow downward plunge into extreme WTF territory. The ending is still not bad, but everything from volumes 8-12 is just not as clever or high quality as the things that came before.

Good on ya! Everyone who has even the slightest bit of appreciation for AWESOME MECHS AND HOT, BURNING, MANLY PASSION should watch Gurren Lagann.

Urk, I'd say go for the anime version of Jigoku Shoujo instead. The anime is pretty okay, and quite good in the second half of the series, but the manga is utter crap. It looks like it's trying to be similar to something Arina Tanemura would draw, but the story just doesn't mesh with that drawing style at all. That, and the telling of the story itself is quite sloppy and boring compared to the more methodical, dark methods the anime uses.

Neither incarnation of Jigoku Shoujo is truly great, but the anime certainly does win out as the superior one to me. And at least neither one of those is the awful live-action drama version. D:

Spice and Wolf is pretty decent. It can be a little boring sometimes if you're not interested in the economic aspects of the series, but the two main characters are good, especially Holo. :)

I stopped reading Bleach a long time ago.
