    ya it also doesn't help that they changed the voice actors on the dubbed version and it did my head in, they all have different accents and sound really stupid.

    I watch subbed :)

    The dubs have a really annoying habit of showing any strong emotion as a constipated growling voice.

    It ruined the Wrath character in FMA for me :P

    I've given fairy tale a break for the moment, and I'm now watching black cat,good so far.

    Black Cat starts off really good, for like.... 5 episodes? Then the main character changes his clothes and his personality drastically; and it feels like the show just flails around in an unentertaining way until it ends.

    Considering the animation quality, the cool intro songs and first few episodes, I had very high expectations of it; and came away very disappointed

    By all means, make your own mind up.

    My issues began immediately when Train changes to a different outfit, and a drastically different personality. I kept thinking "Oh was there a timeskip? Maybe they'll flashback and explain what happened in the meantime"

    They never do.

    So if you find it disconcerting and bad after that change, save yourself the bother and just stop. Don't watch all the way to the end like me. It won't ever improve again.

    +1, Black Cat had so much promise but falls flat.

    I think I'll dump it for now and go back to fate zero :)

    Blue Exorcist is a whole lotta fun, like Hellboy crossed with Harry Potter :pac: I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than I thought I would.

    Loved it too. Ordered the movie on bluray over the weekend. Will hopefully turn up before the end of next week. Seriously, Zavvi might have some fantastic prices (they're selling Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn for nearly €10 less than anywhere else I've seen when shipping is accounted for) but their shipping speed is lousy.

    I read all of One Punch Man recently.

    It's not great, but its a fun little read and I find it very endearing.

    It's about a young man who fails to get a job or join the workforce; then while feeling purposeless and bored with life he decides to become a super hero.

    After becoming a super hero, he is STILL purposeless and bored with life; because he finds (to his surprise) he is the most powerful superhero in the world, and can end any fight in "One Punch".

    On the suggestion of recent posts, I watched Servant x Service, I thought it was very good, a lot of laughs and easy to watch.

    Now what next to pick... :P

    I'm watching Black bullet at the moment.

    It's kind of like Attack on Titan. Except, Imo, a more nuanced world, better narration and worse amounts of otaku humour.

    Also, it can be nihilistic without being OTT.

    Watched a few eps of Hunter x Hunter.

    Main plot feels like filler, I dread to see what the filler is like.

    Then I just gave up.

    Gotta watch the 00 movie, "Awakening Of The Trailblazer", but dunno if it's been too long since I've watched the series to get into it. Also must watch more of Attack on Titan.

    Seems I may have yet to watch "Gundam SEED Destiny" and "Gundam Wing - Mobile Suit Gundam". Cool.

    Watching BlazBlue. It looks odd.

    How are you finding it? I loved it! I was surprised by how much more story there was to the manga than the anime.

    I recommend Black Bullet and Kill la kill. They are an action anime.

    I have no idea how good the anime is, but Blazblue started off as an "anime" fighting game series with a pretty cool plot and story mode..... FOR a fighting game (low bar to be sure).

    For example: The plot twists etc at the end of the first two games I thought were really good.

    But I don't really know how that would translate into a stand-alone anime, since the story mode is just presented as: Talking -> Battle -> Dialog choice -> Talking -> Battle (repeat until last boss)

    Also the anime wouldn't let you make the clearly "wrong" story choices to get the ridiculous joke endings where everybody is dead and a ghost and trying to co-operate to run a ghost pirate ship; or the protagonist decides to stop saving the world and starts a rock band with the villains etc etc
