Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama - ep 6.
Samurai 7 [rewatch] - ep 12
Kino's Journey - ep 6.

I really like Kino's Journey so far, it's really interesting.

Finished Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. Sitting through the mediocrity of the first FMP was totally worth it. TSR was very good. I want to be Sousuke's friend.

Started watching Gundam SEED last night. I have to make fun of it MST3K style, otherwise I would explode with rage. It's just so freaking dumb so far. Terrible pacing. Terrible dialogue. Too many characters, few of which are interesting. Everyone makes dumb decisions. And so on and so forth.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Season 2 episode 5 ^^

I know I'm in the midst of the Endless 8 and can just skip them, but I kind of like seeing what minor details were changed.. What small details were added ^__^

Wait through the first 10 episodes....thats when I actually started liking it. :) It gets a lot better, and a lot more interesting, by finally letting the characters DO something and grow in their characters.

It seems like all the old school mecha people I know are delving into the hilarity of SEED this past month, resulting in entertaining shenanigans.

Finished (I think anyways according to MAL....) Legend of Legendary Heroes and am now sad. Because I would have thought the ending great if, and only if, I knew there would be a second season--which I won't hold my breath for, but would TOTALLY make my season if they DID. But oh well...it did not disappointment right up til the end!

I found out that the original Mobile Suit Gundam series is up on Youtube officially. So I'm watching that right now. Really good stuff, though if you're a "style over substance" type person you won't be able to stand the constant reuse of footage and some really weird animations. I personally don't mind those things and am really liking the show. They also have Z Gundam up on the channel officially too. No ZZ though. I'll probably be sticking with UC stuff for the time being at least, with the exception of G Gundam.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt episode 12.

Basically an entire episode of Romeo + Juliet references but it was a very sweet episode(and funny as well).

Looks like the BriefxPanty pairing is official.

Note: I in no way would recommend this series to most people on here.

I'm at my Grandparents right now (they have cable) and we landed on the HUB and discovered a show called Deltora Quest. It looks so awesome!! Too bad it's not on DVD yet >.<

Seriously, I really think that you should read the book series if you're going to check it out. The anime wasn't that good an adaptation.

(yeah, it's actually an adaptation of an American childrens' book series called Deltora Quest)

Wikipedia said Austrailian O.o Ah well, all I know is...it's not Japanese XD!! Still wanna watch it, though. And I am interested in the books, too.

My brother loves Deltora Quest (the books), he likes the anime even though at first he thought it was kinda cheesy. I've seen a couple episodes and found it cute, although the voice acting in the dub wasn't the best I've ever heard. -__-; It wasn't the worst voice acting I've heard though. I've yet to read the books so I can't make an accurate judgement. But I'm willing to try it out. :3!

Finished Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan. Thoughts? So. that's DEEN. It was flat and dull, though at the same time somewhat entertaining. It will depend on my mood of the moment whether I follow the second season or not, but I don't think I will. Following Bleach is about as much stereotypical shounen as I care to keep up with.

In other news, I'm behind/going to be behind on Squid Girl, Otome Youkai Zakuro and Bakuman due to my Internet being so slow it takes forever to watch one thing. Sadness. Hoping to watch the next three eps of Honey and Clover, however, and then continue with the latter half on disc--which I have. :)

Watched Kurenai's OVA episode 2, which I'm happy to day was much better than the first one for the mere fact that they added the bare minimum of backstory to a character who seems to be important but seemed to appear out of nowhere if you hadn't read the novels.

A solid 7 out of 10 (up from a 6).
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

I just watched the episode "Unreasonable" from xxxHOLiC again. I mean, sure it's kind of filler, but it was HILARIOUS!!! And since it's Christmas season, I wanted to see something that dealt with snow!

So wow, I've been on an anime craze lately.
Just bought Emma: A Victorian Romance. [I haven't even watched it yet, but I just KNOW it's good... Lol]
I bought the whole series of FMP the first season, haven't watched it yet either, if I don't like it. I'll just sell it on eBay again.


In other news.

I have watched Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama more and have started to like it more now, I'm up to ep 12. I really like Sakura and Misaki, Usui is okay, he kind of annoys me though. I can see why Misaki would get so irritated with him so much. Lol.

I'm up to ep 12 in Yumeiro Patissiere and there's a Christmas episode! I'm so excited! Haha.

I'm still waiting on Netflix to send me the next disc for Kino's Journey. I really want to know what happens after episode 5!

I have also started watching Someday's Dreamers. It's pretty interesting. I'm up to ep 9.

Okay.

OreImo was overblown in pretty much every conceivable aspect. In the end, it's just another otaku in-joke series, albeit with more risque subject material. Kuroneko is really the only great thing about the show.

The Kure-nai OVA is really not very interesting for anyone. It's just a bunch of random chapters that they animated. I am disappoint.

Megane na Kanojo is a short OVA that's a bunch of short stories about girls with glasses. It was better than I expected. Since I expected it to be abysmal, it turned out to be acceptably okay.

The Angel Beats! special episode that I thought was the epilogue wasn't that, but an actual episode in which we peer into Maeda's addled mind after he finished the series. Still waiting on that epilogue, although I have heard that I should expect to be disappointed.

Squid Girl was pretty okay. I wasn't amazed by it, nor do I think it is one of the best things of the season. It's a fun little gag anime, but not particularly memorable.

The World God Only Knows was pretty great. It turned out much better than I expected. Awesome production for a long-running manga. I want to get into the manga, but I'm not sure I'll have the time. The extra episodes were pretty great too. Best arc? Shiori's (kyaa, Hanazawa Kana).

Also rewatched The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, which is the good part of the Haruhi series.

And I guess I have decided to make my way through Card Captor Sakura because people don't stop talking about how Nanoha isn't really a magical girl show.

Watching the Animax dub of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Wow, I seriously prefer the Tagalog dub over this one.
Whatever the season in life, the RIGHT attitude makes all the difference.
