robby^5

Just started watching Bakemonogatari, which is really quite excellent. From the same studio that make Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, so very similar humour and animation.

After I blitz this series, cause it has sucked me in, I'll be checking out Canaan.

Arion24

Rewatching entire Mai Hime and Otome series.

Varkov

Darker than Black , first series. Want to start Azumanga Daioh too.

david1k

currently watching fruits basket, and working on re-watching naruto ^-^

Miasima Goria

Just finished Deathnote, too many twists in the plot for my liking but I did enjoy it. Not sure whether to watch the film though.

Was thinking about reading Claymore or Hikaru no Go next.

N-line

I'm reading Deathnote and OnePeace, they rock

cherryghost

watching full metal alchemist because the internet told me to.

Technodrome

Just finished Dragonball, and Dragonball Z, starting GT now!

gearoidof

Just finished Canaan, nice animation, but hmm, not the k-west
Watching and loving Bakemonogatari. (except for the fan service, not needed)

Scheduled Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 next, that looks schmexy

rejkin

Watching Darker than black season 1 atm

Is there much point to watching fullmetal alchemist brotherhood if iv seen full metal alchemist the original series? Iv been told its not great but not wheter theres much difference to the old series

Cy_Revenant

Massive difference.

The new season actually follows the original storyline of the manga. The old one carved it's own path from about the Labratory 5 incident moving forward.

Varik

every thing this season with the exception of the following
Seitokai no Ichizon (i hate this)
kobato


but i want you all to know about Winter Sonata

I got the girl who leapt through time,must watch it over xmas.

ratrope

I've just finished Bakemonogatari and now am contemplating to start up Darker Than Black Season 1 again, since Season 2 is getting so much praise. Re-watchhing Gurren Lagann might also be fun, if only for the pure manliness factor. Are there any new SHAFT-anime this season? Gotta find that Winter-chart again...

Just read Mai Chan's Daily Life by Waita Uziga. It's pretty extreme by anyones standards. I'm also reading some Hideshi Hino and Shintaro Kago (his manga Abstraction is one of the best pieces of surreal art I've ever seen.)

I have some Fist of the North Star manga coming soon in the post so that should keep me busy for a while.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, i watched 42 episode in 4 days ☺☺

What an amazing show indeed, its so good i wasn't even bothered watching Lost this week!

Can't wait for the final episode!

Funky

started watching One Piece there a couple of weeks back and am completely hooked, awesome fights and some hilarious moments

also really enjoying Cross Game and Dance in the Vampire Bund atm too

cherryghost

just finished Zombie Loan and FMA

watching School Days and... Azumanga Daioh 0_o

DandareRastaban

Ok so..... I finished Code Geass yesterday (in 2 days, each for a one season) and I must say it's AMAZING SERIES!!!

If anyone is obsessed with tactics (like me), like badass genius characters (like me) or plainly enjoy watching nice mecha fights - IT'S ANIME FOR YOU !!... also girls seem look better with each episode (mostly Karen as for me XD )

Right now I'm not watching to much since lack of time... but I do watch:

Kiddy Girl-and : quite fun, very nice art-style aaaaand... I'm the fan of first series (Tat-tadah!)

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun : seem to lack something compared with the To Aru Majutsu Index... but still is fun (maybe it was made more for girls this time and that's why I'm not satisfied?)

Omamori Himari : OH MOE!.... ok I did read the manga earlier and it's mangaka is a Daisenpai for me (hail). Story is real fun and seem light... and does bear nice amount of ecchi fanservice

Chu Bra!! : ... one girl said to me it's a weirdest anime ever... I didn't agree but then I saw the first episode and... damn in many terms she was right >_>. I must warn You! To watch this You must be either 12-16 year old girl or be a plainly insane person >_<


That's it for now ^^'

cherryghost

yeah cant wait for Code Geass R3

Fnz

Just watched the first season of xxxHolic.

Some words to describe it: Long, drawn-out, slow, repetitive, predictable, frustrating.

Episodes that are not resolved and/or don't seem to matter. Main character who constantly takes abuse without ever standing up for himself in any serious way. Little subtlety to the emotional parts. Unsatisfying end to the season, with barely any character growth having occurred.

really? i thought it was ok. the animation style was different and amusing, the stories in each episodes were captivating (not all the time though), however, i was frustrated at the lack of conclusion on the main characters love interests

Word of advice, read the manga. It's much better than the anime especially when read along with Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicle.
The xxxHoLic anime also cuts out all of the Tsubasa references (kind of integral to the plot later on) if I remember correctly.

I'll pass on the manga - I watched 24 episodes of the anime so feel I've given it a fair shake. I'm loath to invest more time into something really didn't 'grab me'. It's disappointing.

I never even heard of 'Tsubasa' until you mentioned it there.

Reckon I need to stop allowing Clamp abuse me with their anime products. Haven't seen much of their stuff but don't remember enjoying any of it. Beyond xxxHolic... think I've seen Tokyo Babylon and X - the fact that I'm not certain isn't, usually, a good sign.
