Arakawa Under The Bridge 4- better than the others, but still not winning it's way into my heart.

Working!! 2 and 3- ugh. Yeah, this isn't working for me.

That it does, I knew what to expect but it's still been fun, because I've forgot so much of the manga, so some parts I'm like, "hey!".

Watched FMA: Brotherhood up to episode 54. :wow!: :wow!: :wow!: AWESOME!!!!!!! Dude, there are so many cool parts coming up, since they've reached the climax! I can't wait for each episode...and yet, it's incredibly sad that there's only nine episodes left.

Kaitou Saint Tail episode 4. <_< Well, that was unrealistic. A high-schooler (or junior high-schooler? *is confused on their ages*) getting engaged and having arranged-marriage drama?!

I've also started watching Busou Renkin with my brother :3 I'm loving it, my brother not so much, but we're both hoping it'll get better as it goes along. We've watched up to episode 6, and while it might not be quite as epic as some of the shows I've seen before, this is very exciting in its own way. Love Kazuki's weird humor; he's kind of like Vash in how wacky he is...but different, all the same. It suffers from the cliche "Now I shall announce my next attack for no apparent reason!", and the enemies are super weird (especially that freaky butterfly dude), but it's pretty exciting. Plus, it's got alchemy and Homunculi ;)

I have finished Ergo Proxy. It is certainly a strange series, but it is good and has quite a bit of depth to it.

I will now start in on, the one and only, 'Baccano!'. Considering that I love Durarara!!, I have high expectations for this series.

Well, I checked out the reviews on this site for various anime, and I compiled a list of shows that were rated very highly that I haven't seen. I must say, so far those reviews were dead on. Kudos to the reviewers by the way!!:thumb:

Also finished Ergo Proxy a few days ago, started Hell Girl (which is significantly creepy and must be watched in small doses)--one episode in--same time. Last night was Durarara!! episode 12, Prince of Tennis ep. 98, Saiyuki Reload 5 (which remains horribly cheesy, even more so than first season, but I'm starting to enjoy it), ditched the filler arc of Bleach and skipped to the most recent season and got caught up on that....And...finally started Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, finished episode 1 a minute or two ago, and am thoroughly charmed by it. =)

So it took watching the second episode and watching the first episode again, but I finally "get" The Tatami Galaxy. I clearly didn't watch it the first time with enough concentration, but yeah, I was wrong about the show from earlier. Everything is really, really clever, and the premise of the story is also really clever. I got used to the art style by the second episode too and I'm able to follow the dialogue and what's going on at the same time. It's really good. I am so sad that I almost dropped it.

Best Buy was selling the ENTIRE Angelic Layer series for only 20 bucks! All 26 episodes! It's like twice as much on Amazon.com! So I snatched it up, and will enjoy it again. ^_^

Just finished Baccano! so no worries :). I got some unexpected time off work and managed to finish quickly. So wow... what a ride. I don't even know where to begin. The way the story was told was absolutely awesome. I'll definitely be re-watching, probably with the dub.

Well on to the latest Durarara!! as soon as I recover :D

So I've been catching up with what I've missed of Bamboo Blade since we're watching that in anime club but I missed the last meeting. It's pretty good so far, as of episode six. I've also been rewatching Durarara!!

Huzzuh, NothingClever! :D

I watched Blood: The Last Vampire tonight and it was...weird. I get that it's an alternative Blood+, or spin-off, or...something related to Blood+? But that didn't have enough story to go on by itself. However, the art and directing were amazing. It would be worth getting if I could find it for a couple dollars.

I believe it's supposed to be a prequel of sorts for the series. Definately short, definately left some loose ends, but it's pretty cool for a stand-alone, and better than some other vampire movies out there!

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - both seasons

I took advantage of Crunchyroll's acquisition of the first season, and watched through it the last week or so. I wound up really enjoying it generally. I'm looking forward to the movie now.

...and no, I didn't watch all eight episodes of Endless Eight.

Oh! Prequel, okay, that makes more sense. It is pretty cool effects, directing and art wise, it didn't have too much drive. Though the vampires are the coolest vampires. ever.

Last night I picked .hack//sign back up, and am now enjoying it. It's just not a "watch while cleaning" sort o thing, it's a pay attention to it, and it's interesting. Also watched second episode of Tatami Galaxy, which was too crude to enjoy it thoroughly, but now I understand the plot much better, and plan to continue with it. It's fun.

Finally gave in and watched Cowboy Bebop ep 1- While I wasn't terribly impressed by it, I'm going to finish it out. It's such a classic anime, I really feel that I should.

Mushishi 16-18- Yeah. I love this series.

Trust me, you should finish Bebop. It might be kinda slow at first, but it really picks up as it moves along.

Cowboy Bebop is indeed amazing and one of the greatest classics ever. The whole of it must be seen.

Also, watched a bit of Tegami Bachi, and the CG didn't even look that bad for episode seven.

Actually, I believe Blood+ is based on (or off of?) Blood: The Last Vampire, which I have never seen, and was never exactly planning on it anyway, but I have seen Blood+, and from the information I gather, they aren't really the same story.
Of course, a lot of people say that they are related otherwise, so I really don't know for sure, but I still don't see them as the same story.
(Could be because my main source is Wikipedia and such...)

Of course, I should probably mention that this is information I gathered a while back.

Mushishi 19-22 - Getting close to the end, and I don't know how I can take it! I'm really hoping this ends well. I really hope it keeps up the quality of storytelling it's had over the entire series. And if it does, this will soon be in my collection.

Working! 4- No. Just.... No. This really isn't getting any better. Praying that it's only 13 episodes- I don't think I could take it if it were longer!

Arakawa Under The Bridge 4-5- yeah. This isn't getting any better, either. I'll watch it out, but I won't be happy with it!
