12 Kingdoms 26-35- Wow, I forgot that this was so good. I don't know how. Political machinations, the stories of people within the kingdoms that were affected by events, this really does some wonderful world-building and story-telling!

Episode 1 of Nichijou or My Ordinary Life as CR calls it.

I'm still trying to comprehend all that happened.
some parts were hilarious, some funny, some not.
Definitely provides the recommended daily allowance of lolwut.

And the 'next time' bit was voiced by someone's toe :eh:

Finished Hetalia Season 1- Too many guys, not enough girls.

12 Kingdoms 36-40- Politics, double-dealing, rebelion, and growth as a character and queen. This show really has it all.

I watched all five of the uploaded episodes of Persona 4. Its a regularly updated anime on hulu, so now is probably a good time to jump in and catch up while there are only a few episodes. I didn't think I'd like an anime based off a video game... but the guys who made the persona games and Catherine are frekin' awesome! So now I'm pretty stoked about it! lol

Digimon Xros Wars II ep. 5 - This was the episode I was waiting for. So far the show had been good but not as good as the original series. I think they finally found their niche. I really liked this episode and it reminded me why I love Xros Wars so much. I hope that it continues to be good and I am on pins and needles waiting for the crossover stuff to start.

Kimi to Boku ep. 5 - This continues to be fun. I am glad that the characters actually act like guys and it is not just a shoujo romance with guys instead of girls but they act the same. They do things and act certain ways that only guys would do and act. I am really liking the show. I just hope the romances don't end up being unrequited like so many anime.

Mirai Nikki (Future Diary) ep. 5 - This show is weird. The story is interesting and I am enjoying it but it is freaking strange. It just gets weirder every episode. I also do not like the random and unnecessary fanservice that is thrown in there at times. Thankfully its not a lot but still it can be rather annoying. I will continue to watch the show but I have a feeling I will be giving it 7 or lower when it is done. It is good but its not amazing.

Mawaru Penguindrum, episode 18.

Full-spoiler thoughts in the show's "Let's Watch!" thread, as always. :)

Finished Toradora!
That was NOT the ending I expected.
[spoiler] The whole marriage thing was a bit awkward. I'm not sure if it was just part of the plan to get Ryuuji's mother back to her parents, or if they were serious. I know for sure Taiga is Ryuuji's girlfriend now, but...
I also found the kissing scene very awkward. I don't think that scene was necessary.

I'm glad they both went back to school though, I was afraid they were actually going to run away.

Oh yeah, and Inko-chan finally said his name! =D[/spoiler]

A good show overall, excepting the weird ending.

I'm watching Rurouni Kenshin and Trigun. I looooove Trigun. I told myself I'm going to marry Vash the Stampede ;).

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."

Soul Eater 50-51- Okay, I don't know how I feel about that ending. I'll have to chew it over.

Excel Saga 1-3- The parodies are too random, Excel is faaar to obnoxious, and most of the characters just are not funny. I really, really dislike this show.

I LOVE the ED, though. It's just so Animal Crossing... but so twisted.

Spirited Away (dub): This just earned the third spot in my Studio Ghibli Top 3 (the first two being Whisper Of The Heart and Castle In The Sky, if you're curious ;))-- everything was excellent, from its beautiful animation to its story. [spoiler](Though to be perfectly honest I *was* kinda wishing for just a tiny bit more resolution with Chihiro/Haku, as I typically hate those sort of unresolved endings :sweat:; but, surprisingly, I actually didn't mind it so much here, probably because Haku seemed pretty certain that he would get free, and after that I'm assuming that he'd be able to find Chihiro fairly easily. :))[/spoiler] So anyway, as mentioned, it was excellent overall, and definitely one of Ghibli's best.

^I know what you mean. I was hoping for a little bit of <3. Oh well.

I'm watching Neon Genesis Evangelion (horrors!). Other than the fanservice, it really doesn't bother me. If someone wants to message me on why not to watch it, feel free too :).

I'm still watching Trigun. It's one of my new favorites.

I know. And I've always hated totaly random ADD-on-acid humor. So knowing that it's supposed to be like that doesn't make me like it more.

Porco Rosso- I could only get through the first 10 minutes before I got too tired and fell asleep. Gonna try again later.

I love Trigun! *virtual high five*


I have been having a Haruhi Suzumiya marathon. Honestly, the fan service was driving me up the wall for the first few episodes (originally, I had 'dropped' this, because of episode 00...), but after a while, you just become immune to it, I guess. It's nice to see an anime character facepalm as much as I do, haha!

...I'm currently stuck in the endless eight. :O

D.Gray-man episode 23 - Is this the end of the Krory arc? *kind of hopes so*

Lovely Complex episodes 1-5. I started watching this with my roommate, who like me is the sort of person who would normally run away screaming from a high school romance story, but seems to like this just as much as I did. We got past the disgusting Seiko stuff, so now it's only up from here! ^_^

FMA: Brotherhood episodes 10-11. The Hughes episode, and the Rush Valley episode. What a mix of tragic and hilarious.

School Rumble was good, it had it's awkward moments and drama, but those shows are way over the top of those two things. That's all I have to say.

I wouldn't encourage my enemy to watch those.
