kuroraka said: duotrouble said: Anyone else watch Kemono no Souja Erin? I started watching it because of the name of the series. I didn't know anything about it. Then, I thought it was a kiddie show and I wouldn't really care for it. Boy was I wrong. It was really good. It impressed me. It is a children's story but not like the stories I was told as a child. People actually die and tough choices about honor and codes have to be made. Finally finsished it yesterday and enjoyed it a lot overall. I started watching it because it was based on a novel by the author of Seirei no Moribito. Definitely one of the most underrated series of last year. Oh, I didn't know that. I need to watch Moribito. So many people have told me it's really good. |

| i just finished the last episode of erin ... although i can understand the subbers comments on their web page about the ending... i was happy enough with the way it turned out :) moribito was another series i realy enjoyed, so i think its worth while giving it a go duo <bouncybounce>. to be honest , i never watch a series because it was written or produced ext by the same people, i prefer to view each piece on its own merits... sometimes ignorance is bliss ;) another two episodes of zenryoku usagi down, and about to try finishing hosho no umi no amuri, now that i've tracked down the other episodes .. 3 episodes.... 3 sub groups ... stalled projects=suckage |

| Whoile accumulating epsidoes of Railgun I caught up on So.Ra.Wo.To.No up to episiode 8. Its an odd series, kind of fluffy but I sense a certain menacing undertones in it, as if somone is going to light a fuse and cause everything to go pear shaped. Its got beautiful backgrounds though and is quite a enjoyable series so far. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |

| Whatever you do never watch 6 Angels. What an absolute pile of crap. Plus the translation is terrible. Its practically unwatchable. If the episodes weren't 10 minutes long I wouldnt have made it to the end. |

| Just finished watching 20/24 of Rental Magica and all I can say is blech. It has 4 episodes to redeem it's soul. |

Sounds like a good discussion-generating series for the Shorts Culb, Slender. ;-) I'm currently watching Keroro Gunsou AKA Sgt. Frog which is currently streaming on the Funimation site. Good stupid slapstick comedy fun with tons of anime references, particularly from the Gundam series stuck in. Kind of reminds me of Pinky and the Brain, though Keroro isn't nearly as driven towards world conquest as Pinky was. I can see the potential for it to get too repetitive, but other than that being the case, I can't understand why this show isn't more popular. A mispreception of it being too Kiddy maybe? |

| Well after much encouragement from akachrys... I've managed to make it almost half way through one piece. Stupid funny, so it's a pleasant enough way to end an evening and leave little or no lasting thoughts lingering for bed :P It's not bad though... Also working my way through Cat's Eye. It would probably be better with a revamp. I find it cheesy, but that's cause it's from the early 80's and it now seems to just be dragging along. And started Kobato... I was originally going to wait for it to finish airing before watching, however I had to start watching when... |

| Just put up the first poll for Mospeade in the anime section. The series looks okay. |

| just wading my way through the tail half of gun dam! 00 season 2. i have to say , its a riot, so dramatic , and yet... so corny lol. the best moment so far has been i was wetting myself... my co-workers were giving me strange looks ... my boss asked me "what are on?" |

| NHK was an awesome series. But don't know if I could watch it again. I could feel myself becoming more and more like the main character as I watched. O_o (Or maybe it made me recognize traits that have been there all along... lol) |
| whee~ Hetalia is back! I didn't realize I missed it until I watched... now I feel it would be great to have a daily 5 minutes comedy, something fun to watch before starting the day ^^ |
 |
| I just finished Mahoromatic Tadaima◇Okaeri last night and it was odd, considering that they dropped this 2 parter in the middle of the story (that ended really badly so long ago). Its light and fluffy and breezy and somehow different to the Mahoro I am so fond of. Still, I enjoyed it. Currently busy with K-on! and Railgun with a few others that I watch while waiting for episodes. Still have to catch up at least 5 episodes of Nodame Finale too... |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| Watched episodes 15-18 of When They Cry last night. Yoiks! Talk about creepy stuff! Remind me NEVER to move to a small town like Hinamizawa! Man, that place makes Salem's Lot look like Mayberry! |
 May the DESU be with you! Always! |
| Just watched the first two eps of Kara no Kyoukai so far seems to be a good supernatural horror series - I like |

| philly sed: "Watched episodes 15-18 of When They Cry last night" it messes with your mind... but the later seasons of higurashi kinda loose the creepiness factor and start making too much sense..its worth watching, but i was a bit disappointed :\ slenderfall sed" Just watched the first two eps of Kara no Kyoukai so far seems to be a good supernatural horror series - I like" your mileage may vary but overall its just twisted enough to be interesting... i'm waiting for the epilogue to be released. i made the mistake of buying the deathnote boxed set... so far ive watched the first 2 dvds and its left me feeling underwhelmed..... i can't see what all the hype was about and i found myself laughing at inappropriate moments... whatever the target audience was...it clearly wasn't me! |

slenderfall said: Which reminds me I have the last movie sitting on my pile of unwatched DVDs.

The fifth movie was very,very good.Just watched the first two eps of Kara no Kyoukai so far seems to be a good supernatural horror series - I like |
| Started watching Shakugan no Shana II, after marathoning through the last 9 episodes of the first series (including one of the specials). This series is really addicting, but I probably say that for a lot of series. |
 |
| welp... another day and another death note dvd down.... i think its either getting better, or i'm getting brainwashed. ive come to the conclusion that a. l is just warped enough to be interesting and b. that lite/light whatever his name is ... is a tool |
| devilbunnies are comming! soon we will be leigon!! |
| Started Sora no Manimani tonight and am at episode 4. Anybody that likes a combination of slice of life and astronomy, this one is for you. I must admit its not been a bad series so far, it does have its usual irriatating character but I see an intersting combination of Kanon and Nodame in it, or maybe its my imagination. |
| May the Uguu be with you. |
| and the clampy goodness that is kobato rolls on! just finished ep 19 |
| devilbunnies are comming! soon we will be leigon!! |
| started re-watching Clannad today... there's such a wonderful atmosphere instilled in this series .. one tends to naturally drift away, completely engulfed in it without any hesitation or effort. |
| |
Invisigoth said: and the clampy goodness that is kobato rolls on! just finished ep 19 Wait till you see who shows up in episode 20. |
|
| Started Gintama, but I can see this being a filler anime since it is so huge. What should I watch next? Eureka Seven, Phantom Requiem for the Phantom or Inukami? |
| Started Hakaba Kitarou 2008 series - the animation is very different, it is a sort of horror comedy and far more adult than the original 60's series |
Shameless plug signature The Shorts Club |
| After finally giving up on The Law of Ueki which i really wanted to like but failed, i started watching Romeo no Aoi Sora which is a nice old school slice of life anime about friendship. |
| |
| You can see what I watched last night. FMA:Brotherhood is getting better and better. :D |
| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| hakajou: depends on what you want.... phantom if you want to go for the noir/madlax thing, eureka if you wanna whiny kid and big mecha ala shinji akari in evangelion, or inukami if you want fan service. slenderfall: the 2008 kitaro was pretty kewl... i only got to see the first episode of the black and white because that was as far as i could get with subs. the live action movie is also fun. since anime doesn't always follow the manga ... my latest theory is that kobato is really a feather welp... of to suffer the pain that is deathnote |

| Just watched the first ep of new series Working!!... I wasn't expecting much because it doesn't seem like my type of series, but I actually enjoyed it.. especially the 2nd half... too funny! and I always love lethal women ^__^ oh and it has Ono Daisuke... and he and Kamina Hiroshi working together - it was like seeing Shizu-chan and Izaya (from DRRR) hanging out together in the kitchen but without killing each other Anyway, pleasantly surprised and will keep it for now. |

| welp death note keeps going on... and on.......and on. new characters .... take a guess? that's right boys, girls and others .. they are tools too. in desperation i started watching gundam ms 8th. you would think after recently finishing 00 season 2 i would have had enough. no bishi action to speak of this far, but it was refreshing after deathnote, and true to the franchise though, at least one member of the gang had to have the obligatory cockpit cry. i think i feel my tenuous grip on reality slowly slipping... |

Bah! Who needs reality? Or sanity? Both tends to keep you from having fun! So, I hear there's yet ANOTHER Gundam series on the way, called Gundam Unicorn I think. Are we talking about mobile suits with horns on their foreheads? And who will the obligatory tortured hero pilot and semi-evil antagonist in the dopey looking helmet be? Inquiring minds wanna know! |
