There's not much to say! My name's Maddie, I'm a lazy University student, and I like anime, manga, comics, film and television. Genres I particularly enjoy are scifi and cyberpunk. I prefer my futures dystopian and my protagonists whiny. Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.
The series listed off to the side aren't necessarily my all time favourites, they're just what I'm most into at the moment. I'm so fickle when it comes to fandom; I'll be absolutely obsessed with a manga for a week, and then the next I'm back to fangirling my western comics. Anyway, the following are some of the other titles I (have) really like(d), and will always be willing to discuss/rant about:
Anime Abenobashi: Magical Shopping Arcade, Blue Gender, Elfen Lied, Ergo Proxy, GetBackers, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Neon Genesis Evangelion, NieA_7, Ninja Scroll (primarily the film, although, I did like the series), Ouran High School Host Club, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Vision of Escaflowne, Welcome to the NHK!, etc.
Manga Akira, Angel Sanctuary, Battle Angel Alita, Blame!, Claymore, Fire Candy, Fruits Basket, Gantz, Genshiken, GOTH, Hellsing, Homunculus, Lament of the Lamb, Monster, MPD Psycho, Perfect Girl Evolution, etc.
As mentioned above, I also read western comics, although nowhere near as much as I do manga. I mostly read DC/Vertigo publications - I'm not a huge Marvel fan (though I did enjoy Civil War... and, unfortunately, their movies are usually a million times better. :/) and there aren't a lot of independent titles that I care about. I prefer Average Joe heroes to the likes of Superman and the Flash(es), Ted Kord being the greatest character of all time, ever. Blue Beetle > Batman, hands down. I can't stand Bruce Wayne 99.9% of the time. :|
Comics Batman (mostly for the villains), Crisis on Infinite Earths, Rob Zombie's Haunted World of El Superbeasto, Hellblazer, Infinite Crisis (and related media), Justice League International, Lucifer, the Sandman, etc.
...and I'll read pretty much anything with Captain Whitebread Marvel, Guy Gardner, Booster Gold (yay, JLA! :D), or Joker/Harley implications in it.
To be continued!

Oh yeah, it's already Christmas in some parts of Australia. The rest of us will catch up eventually.
Merry Christmas to you, too!

Oh, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with fabloony, but I noticed that you mentioned something about a Ninja Scroll sequel and I was interested, since I love the movie.
If you're talking about Resurrection, that is NOT Ninja Scroll. I am warning you about that. A lot of people think it's Ninja Scroll because both guys are named Jubei.
But one is Kibagami Jubei from Ninja Scroll. And the other is the historical figure Yagyu Jubei. I got fooled into buying Ninja Resurrection because someone said it was a second movie. But after a few minutes, I realised that they don't even have the same name!! TwT
I do think that further Ninja Scroll stuff is in the works. But that's just rumour.

No, there's supposedly a Ninja Scroll 2 in production. There is a 2-episode OVA called Ninja Resurrection, though, which is based on the same source material but not actually related to Ninja scroll, and it's... not great. Worth watching for the nifty action (team Giant Robo worked on it during the loooong gap between episodes of that show) but it's not very memorable and was never finished.

Yeah, that's pretty much my assessment. Where the buggering hell is Ninja Scroll 2, damn it? And a DVD release of Midnight Eye Goku would be nice as well.
I see that you've added Toward the Terra, which is weird because I added it myself earlier today (or yesterday, seeing as it's tomorrow for you...argh). Most recent anime I couldn't give a toss about, but that sounds really promising.

YO
What did you think of Highlander? I wanted to love because it's Kawajiri and, like all his anime, it looks so damn sexy that I want to gently caress my telly, but the script is a load of balls. And the pacing is off as well, no doubt at least partly due to the excised scenes. Need Directors Cut.

I certainly will! I've got a pretty hefty To-Watch list so I don't know exactly when that'll be. Probably not too long.
I'm hoping it's good. I have a liking for cyberpunk and the concept is interesting, but sometimes Production IG shows can be very slow and talky. Hopefully this one won't!

Now, there's the tricky thing.
I deem an anime good or bad based off a series of points.
There's a must-be-good section that I rate:
-animation (out of 2 points)
-art (2 points)
-characters (2 points)
-story (2 points)
-plot (1 point)
-sound (1 point)
Then I use bonuses such as:
-originality (bonus 1 point)
-entertainment (1 point)
So far, I have never really encountered an anime that got a total of ten points from the "must-be-good" section. A lot of them rely on whether or not they meet the bonus section criteria or not.

I've laughed out loud at a good few anime. I don't know--it doesn't take much for me to laugh, but it takes a lot for me to consider something a good comedy.

11 Rapes per Minute, was it? :D I can't think of anything I didn't laugh at.

I'm just hoping that C;H has a better ending than Parania Agent (no dead pets as a reason, please!).

Sure, why not?
Add away!
It's good to get new people to talk to.
Btw, I think I nearly died laughing all through DMC.
