I figured we needed a place to talk about the most recent anime's that we've been all watching and share news and opinions, so here goes!

I've been recently watching:

-Slayer Revolution
-Natsume Yuujinchou
-World Destruction
-Gintama
-Soul Eater
-Code Geass R2
-Chocolate Revolution

What about you guys?

Ah! I forgot One Piece -_-'

how is world destruction? I was thinking about picking it up

Anime:
School Days
Gurren Lagann
To Love-Ru
Penguin Musume Heart
Gaiking
Dragonaut
Darker than Black

umm...i dont have my harddrive here, there are a couple others...

World Destruction is a lot of fun, I like the dynamics of the main characters and how they interact. I'm looking forward to the DS game (the anime is just marketing for the game apparently). It's not the best thing ever, but definitely worth the watch. There's only 9eps out atm too.

I love Darker than Black!!! Glad to see you're watching it. Hei is one of my favorite anime characters, and of course you gotta love that high quality animation. I love that show, and I'm really hoping that they make figures from it, but I think the ship has sailed for that sadly...

Anime:
One Piece
Soul eater
Genshiken Season 2
Chi's Sweet Home

And I'm anxiously waiting for the Lucky Star OVA and the new FMA anime.

Manga:
One Piece
Naruto
Bleach
Addicted to Curry
Kimikiss ~Various Heroines~

Seems like we have a few in common is Chi's sweet home good? That cat is really cute so I was considering downloading it but I have no idea what kind of show it is.

I'm also really looking forward to the 2nd season of FMA.

ooooh...are you all caught up in One Piece? I'm tackling reading all of that now, and I'm very far behind. I enjoy it a lot though .

Yey Soul Eater! Death the Kid!

Gar Rei Zero
Jigoku Shojou season 3
Hayate no Gotoku
Black Jack 21


All are very fun but I'm very behind in my watching que... -_-'

D: D: I feel like a bad anime fan, I haven't been watching... anything!!!! Seriously. Well no, I guess I've been watching Bleach. Other then that, the only manga I'm reading right now is D.Gray-Man. Which I love for the art, even when the story is sad. I guess I'm following the xxxHolic manga as well (no new volumes are out in America; I'm caught up), and I'd love to follow Tsubasa but Tsubasa kind of annoys me.. :/

I haven't been watching much anime lately cept for Astro Boy and Black Jack I guess. I'm on a Osamu Tezuka kick apparently, but I just picked up THREE volumes of manga the other day. (What am I thinking, spending so much money at once?! x_x) I grabbed a copy of The second volume of Castlevania which I have yet to read and the sixth volume of One Thousand and One Nights which has too much MANxMAN action going on as of lately... But then Dan found yet ANOTHER series to sink my money into. Yep, Gankutuso is now a manga and I must own it all. The art style, like the anime, isn't what you'd expect. Really different. Oh, and I've been reading Black Jack also, since Roxy gave me some for my Birthday! Good stuff!!

LOL, true dat.

Tsubasa, what is your problem?

Maybe it's because I really am annoyed with characters like Sakura... you know, the innocent, frilly, mindless girl-type who are always unnecessarily happy and contribute nothing outside the initial plot. I also am annoyed by characters who cater to that type, like Syaoran... and white Mokona. Faye is only slightly tolerable because his mindless happiness seems to be - to me at least - a little forced. Kurogane is hands-down the only remotely awesome thing about the characters.

And I don't know if you got this or not, but I'm a pretty big character kind of person. :/

YES. And you know what? In the polls, Sakura is the most popular of the lot. WEIRD. Is it because she's a girl? Because otherwise, there isn't much of a reason. You could argue that she has no character, and that's the problem.

Fai was my favorite; his happiness is a cover and I like that. His backstory is creepy. Kurogane is the close second.

Yep, character runs my story machine as well.

haha... tsubasa... yeah I'm currently selling my whole collection of that on Amazon right now.

Also I heard that the second season of Haruhi is coming out in April. Anyone looking forward to it? I know I'll watch it but all the hype around this series practically killed any REAL interest I would have had in it. The first season was still a good watch, but seriously, it's not the greatest anime of all time as some people would have you believe.

You know, I've never seen any Haruhi beyond the opening. I just had no real interest. I mean, that one dance is pretty awesome and I kind of have an immesurable amount of respect for all those who can do it. >_> But that's as far as my knowledge of the show goes. Fans have kind of ruined a lot of anime for me.... like Haruhi, FMA...
