Finished watching Fate/Stay Night.... I liked it a lot. Didn't turn out at all like I was expecting from the start.

Finished Kanon. The ending managed to make me appreciate the arcs for characters that I didn't really feel for.

I'm watching Princess Tutu... I just finished episode 8. I think I have the first dud in my collection. I'm usually good at picking out stuff I believe I'll like but I blew it on this one I think. I was expecting a darker fairy tale in the vein of Brothers Grimm and not so ridiculously cutesy. I mean, all my instincts told me "No!" but the way people described it kinda sold me on it. I like children fairy tales (ala Jim Henson's The Storyteller) but meh. This has a nice storybook feel but so far I really don't care for it much at all. Oh well... hopefully it gets MUCH better.

Witch Hunter robin 9-11. I'm enjoying the series so far, besides the fact that some of the episodes freaked me out a bit (like the split-prsonality-doll one, the was so creepy), but I'm still going to finish it. Currently watching episode 12.

Soul Eater 31, which comes with a new OP, PAPERMOON by tommy heavenly6, of the brilliant green fame. New OP has awesome BONES quality animation, but the song doesn't really fit, especially not as well as resonance.

At this point, judging from the relative emphasis on Soul and Maka in the OP and the time left, I'm going to guess that we're ending the season off with The Clown arc. That means we'll also go through Brew and meet the side character students. That'll set us up to start off the second season with Operation Capture Baba Yaga's Castle.

I've been watching Juni Kokuki (12 Kingdoms). It's a fantasy, adventure type anime. It stars a girl called Yoko who eventually discovers that she is a sovereign of a kingdom in a different world. She is a somewhat weak person in the beginning but eventually grows to be strong and wields a very interesting sword. I like it quite a bit so far. It has lots of dialogue.

Meh. Doesn't work. The ending has a small thread of hope in it. I needed something to bring my Feel Good Meter REALLY down. EoE did the trick!

Right now, I'm watching "I My Me! Strawberry Eggs". Once again, Crispin Freeman gets my vote for best director/voice actor in a series.

Witch Hunter Robin 12 and 13, then The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya episode 1 and half of 2 to get rid of the creepiness.

I also caught record of Lodoss War OVA 3 and 4 (I think) on TV the other day. They are airing it in German with English subtitles, which is really interesting. It's more distracting than Japanese with English subtitles because I can understand some of the German, which is kinda weird while reading English. I'm excited to watch the rest of the OVA's though. XD

That first episode really throws everyone off. I can't imagine what it would have been like to have watched it as it aired. Of course, after everyone finishes the entire thing, that first episode becomes gold.

Ahahaha! I just watched "Akira" last night. Tonight I watched "Mobile Suit Gundam F91" and thefirstdisc of "Lucky Star", which I'm gonna have to take in moderation.
Next up is probably "Macross".

Amatsuki.

AKA Fushigi Yuugi with a male lead, no harems, and ebil man-killing monsters.

In other words, much better.

That one's pretty good. Surprisingly dialogue-heavy for its genre, but good.
However, it suffers from a severe case of "nonexistent-ending because manga is still ongoing" syndrome.

Kannagi is an anime with a concept that has a lot of ways to make it stupid. But, it manages to be funny, none of the characters do anything annoying or say anything stupid, and the animation is solid. Nagi in particular is awesomely hilarious.

Ga-Rei Zero took a weird turn and doesn't sufficiently interest me anymore.

I really want to like Skip Beat, but the anime doesn't offer me anything that I can't get from the manga.
