finished watching Cowboy Bebop the series and the movie with some friends of mine - the show is much more enjoyable that way - and now we're onto Nadesco

Finished Eureka Seven last weekend.
Excellent series, while it had both high and low points, I loved it anyway and the ending was very good. (I would have liked to see what happened to the other members of the gekkogo though.)

[spoiler]It kinda felt like the last two minutes of the ending were wasted on kids I didn't care about that much to begin with. It was... surprising to say the least. :eyebrow: However, I was happy to see Axel. :)[/spoiler]

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

12 Kingdoms 11-15- Yeah, I really like this series. It's not full of epic moments, but the pacing is steady and the reveals are at good places. I'm highly impressed by it.

D.Gray-man episode 21 - Tooootally called it. But now I'm completely confused about the new revelations, and really want Allen to get his normal left eye back :(

I also watched FMA: Brotherhood episodes 7-9 with my roommates, yay! We decided to stop before episode 10 so we wouldn't go to bed depressed <_<

12 Kingdoms 21-24- Arc focusing on a missing Kieran? I can get behind that. It's an interesting story.

Haibane Renmei 1-4- Just as good as I remember it. A beautiful anime all around.

I'm almost done with Clannad After Story. Man that show's sad.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

Watched Last Exile: Fam The Silver Wing episodes 1 and 2 -

Eh, so far it's just okay. The whole sacred lake thing is kinda stupid sounding to me, and I don't like Fam or Giselle. =/
(Generic moe characters, with annoying moe voices. Why is it that all anime lately is full of freakin' moe crap!? :mutter:) I do like Dio however and I am really happy to see him! Even if I'm not too sure how he fits into all this... yet.
In fact, I prefer the villians right now, because Luscinia sounds and looks awesome, and I hate Millia. (She seems to be the only one with pointy ears, btw. I'm sure that will fit into the story somewhere later on..)
(A little undecided on her sister, Liliana, though. I don't like the fact that she feels like a Sophia rip-off, but I do like the fact that she's an Exile.)

I picked Bleach back up again.... why'd I stop again? Eh, whatever.

Just watched episode 13, the first with Orihime showing off her new power and just being plain awesome. :3

Just finished another big, heaping pile of Digimon: Xros Wars. Now I'm up to the new "Time Traveling Hunter Boys" series, which is still ongoing. That means soon I'll be waiting a whole week for new episodes just like everybody else. Oh dear, how will I survive without the next episode right there waiting for me?

I just finished Clannad After Story. I can't believed I watched the whole thing in 2 days. It's s sweet and sad at the same time.

At least the very end was nice, right?
It was a rollercoaster ride for sure, but at least it ended well. And that makes all the difference for me in stories like that.

No cliffhangers or anything like that, everything was resolved and it actually was a good way to end. Anyway.

I had previously only seen CLANNAD in English dub, and CLANNAD After Story in Japanese, because the dub wasn't released yet. but now I'm watching it in dubbed again. Such a good story! Though I'm somewhat surprised that there is actually more language in the dub then there is in the Japanese. Anyway, other than that, it's been quite good as it is.

Watched Skip Beat! episodes 1 - 5 -

So far I like it, but I don't love it. Lets just wait and see what happens though. ;D I'm sure that something good is bound to happen between Kyoko and Ren... or not. (But why else would they be in the ending theme together? D< No, I'm positive that they'll end up being the cannon couple. Having Kyoko get back with Shotaro makes nooooo sense. Btw, Sho-chan is such a jerkface! If I guy did that to me... Well, I wouldn't go about it in such an unchristian way... but I would do something horrible to him. :cool:)

7/10.

Finished Haibane Renmei. Great, great show.

Gallery Fake 10-22- it will not get licensed for a whole bunch of reasons, the first and foremost being how amazing it is. Most people who like Naruto will not like this show, which discounts 50% of all people who watch anime from the potential pool of viewers. The other is that it's now an older title, having come out in 2005. That doesn't change the fact that this is an awesome anime- it makes art cool, and for someone with mostly a superficial appreciation like me, that's saying something.

I started the puzzle thing. Phi Brain, and am really enjoying it so far. Three episodes in. It's just something fun and, so far, clean. Even if it is more than a little contrived.

Un-Go ep 2. This. is my new Dantalian (my favorite show from last season). Personally, I like the episodic mysteries, and the atmosphere, even if nothing is being explained in terms of character development so far. Oh, and I love the character designs.

I'm watching Black Butler. (Yiikes, I feel so mainstream. xD ) I'm up to episode 10 after 3 days. O_o

I don't know how I like it just yet. *shrug* Some of the episodes suck so unbelieeevably. And it's a little offensive to my Christian sensibilities, being a story of a boy and his pet demon after all. Buuut, it's got it's moments, so I'm sticking this one out.
This shall be updated when I decide that I have something interesting enough to say! Until then, let's watch this little smiley guy slam his head into a wall!

Steins;Gate, start to finish.

...Holy.

...Crap.

That was amazing!!! :wow!:

Completely engaging, from eyes (the excellent art and animation) to mind (the entire plot) to heart (all that emotion), this has just earned itself a well-deserved 10/10 and a spot in my anime top 5! :jump:

Watched the first two episodes of Last Exile: Fam the Silver Wing.
The artwork is characteristic of the last one, as also the naive personalities of the kids. I don't understand the opening scene, but maybe that'll be important later. Overall, seems like it will turn out as expected, which is nice.

Edit: Prior to that, I watched the Final Fantasy movies (Advent Children and something else) with a friend. Exquisite animation; beautifully done. Can't say the same for the stories. Oh well, I'm such a critic.

Edit: Almost forgot: Some friends of mine and I have been watching Martian Successor Nadesico. Hilarious. [spoiler] Too bad Guy is taken out early. [/spoiler]

Heyhey, don't dismiss us, Naruto watchers, so quickly :P The fact that some of us have shounen guilty pleasures doesn't mean we cannot appreciate the more sophisticated and subtle things in life. :cool:
