I'm finally watching Death Note. I'm probably the last anime fan to do so.

... *still hasn't finished it* You're not alone. XDD I'm not in a big rush though, since I like the manga a lot better anyway...

I'm on Eureka 7 now. Again. Forgot how much I loved this series <3 Never finished it, though, so I'm taking advantage of summer to get it done!

Dropped Code Geass for now. Just wasn't enjoying it much *shrug*

Haven't seen the vast majority of Death Note, myself. Manga, yes, but Anime, barely scratched. To me it just paled next to the manga.

I just finished "Shion no Ou". Wow what a great show. I can't wait for the English to come out, because too much of the dialog is written on Shion's drawing pad (she can't talk), and I don't read fast enough to keep up. (I've watched the fansubs too as they came available, to clear up dialog I couldn't figure out in Japanese, but nobody has completed the series.)

Eagerly awaiting the third disk of Tokyo Majin that I just ordered online.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

No, no you're not, I'm not even all that interested in watching it. I've heard a lot of good things about it, but it doesn't really seem like a series that would hold my interest too well.

Re-watched Howl's Moving Castle today with my sister. She liked it, even though she's not exactly an anime fan.

Well, I just finished "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" for the umpteenth time, and now I'm trying to debate should I start in on "Chobits" or should I go with "Lucky Star".

Today is "Bang Zoom!" day at my house, as if you didn't know.

Just finished re-watching Angel Cop. I had forgotten what a wishy-washy ending it had. Oh well...

I rediscovered a series I bought a while back and never got around to watching, so now I'm finally checking out 'Aquarian Age'.

Watching Full Metal Panic again, gonna follow it up with Full Metal Panic:TSR. Maybe FMP: Fumoffu in between. It's 13 episodes of filler that's actually worth watching.

I just got done watch ep 175 of Bleach last night.
Filler arc currently.... not too sure how I feel about it. I am happy about what's going on in Soul Society and am rather interested in that. However, this whole real world stuff with Ichigo and his new neighbors (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here hehe) I find kind of boring. But, I'm too much of an addict to stop watching the series haha.

I'm watching this great series called "Planetes" that I found for a great price at FYE on sale! It's the first realistic space anime I've seen in a long time...even more than Bebop!

On an unrelated note, due to lack of interest and lack of shelf space (my DVD shelf is now ALL anime) I will be trading in all four volumes of Eureka Seven. You may now gasp in horror.

Anime club is watching Hagaren. I have to admit....... I have never seen the whole thing, nor am I caught up on the manga. It's quite embarassing!

I feel like a lot of it is different from the little of the manga I've read... And it's not as good. Regardless, Paku Romi is a goddess, so I feel like Ed having her voice justifies basically any and all flaws XDDD I could listen to it all day!

Also watching Special A and Itazura na Kiss. Silly shoujo anime, but good for mindless entertainment.

Coming up on the end of Outlaw Star, hopefully finishing tonight. Then I may or may not finish up Deathnote in the anime ((I've been reading the manga up until this point)).

- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

So it in the theatre, believe it or not. That was the very first theatrical release of any Anime feature that I recall. Even though it was a badly marred dub, back then, we we're all just amazed to even be seeing it.

But, yes, I like the version you can see now a lot better.

Me, too. The only problem is, it's also the setup for one of the all-time worst letdowns in Anime history... the Read or Die TV series. What in the heck were they thinking?

Huh, really. Since I liked the OVA, I'm now looking into the anime series and the manga. Is the series that bad? How about the manga?

Mmm...maybe this post should go in the recomendations section.
