I'm focusing my watching efforts on Monster right now, its not really new though... I'm also trying to force myself through the last of Naruto's filler (subbed.) I need to catch up with One Piece and finish watching Ah! My Goddess as well. I've stopped watching Bleach because I realized its getting too naruto-esque, and I'm already watching Naruto twice (I'm following along with the dubbed version as well.)
I'm also keeping up with the Adult Swim shows... well, Ghost in the Shell and Eureka at least. But if Eureka doesn't pick up by the time that Ghost in the Shell finishes, I won't mind skipping that.

I have a question about Tsubasa Chronicle for those who've seen it. I know it's related to Cardcaptor Sakura, so would I need to see all of that before watching Tsubasa?
No you dont need to watch it. The story of tsubasa and card captor sakura are different. The main similarity is that the character of card captor sakura are the same as the characters(well some of them)as the character of card captor but from a sort of parralel universe. Btw its not only card captor who have characters in tsubasa but also most of the anime produced by CLAMP make cameo apperance[/quote] |

I honestly hate most anime now. I think they all suck. I guess the type of anime that I like (serious, plot and character oriented, not harem or some crappy comedy anime) are dying out.
I think I'll just wait for the next Ghost in the Shell, FMA, or Gankutsuoh.
Ofcourse, there's School Rumble 2 and Genshiken 2 coming out this year. Two HIGH quality comedies..can't wait for those.

Now... I didn't know about a second season of Genshiken. I absolutely loved the first one (Madarame is a carbon copy of a kid I was really good friends with in high school! Ha ha!) and at the end of the first season I really wanted to see more.

LoL! My sister's boyfriend just brought up Genshiken 2 and my sister was like, "where the heck have you been? It was announced a while ago." Yeah...I just heard about it too. ^_^
I gotta agree that there's pretty much nothing out of Ghibli that I dislike. Some of it I find aren't really up my alley, but they're all quality anyway.

Have you taken a look at Planetes? I've heard good things about that one, and it definitely seems more character/story driven than...oh...Tenchi or something.
I'm not sure so much about the serious anime dying out, but it's just that a lot of the lighter stuff gets marketed more heavily and gets more visibility, I think. There's also stuff like Basilisk coming out in the US soon, and there's Samurai 7. Well, you get the point. They just don't get pushed as much, for whatever reason. Probably for the same reason Nausicaa was totally massacred when it first came out in the West...some marketing folks still think that anything animated is for kids. We should get get those execs to sit down and watch Grave of the Fireflies or something.

I never saw anything GITS other than the original movie and a single episode on television when my brother's friend insisted that we all sat down and watched it (it really wasn't too bad, I thought).

OOOhhhhh! I couldn't begin to tell you how much I love all things Saiyuki. It's almost a little depressing. |
i heard that saiyuki reload was horrible? |
Depends on what you like in the series that would effect your opinion of "horrible" or not....but personally speaking I liked Saiyuki Reload(season 2) more than season 1 and season 3(Saiyuki Reload Gunlock).
I find the second season the funniest of the 3 so far...although of course season 1 is good for the fact that it introduces the characters and series...

Yay! Someone else who watches Fate/Stay. Though I'm not sure how I feel about the anime. I don't think it's bad, but there are some weird pacing issues with the episodes I 've seen so far. Course, I guess you could say the same about the game. ^_^ The fanboy in me is satisfied at least though. I can see Saber running around! Yay! |
honestly I've never played the game ^^;; I found out about Fate/Stay Night when I went to animenfo.com to look up something else and Fate/Stay Night was one of the random anime titles on the "5 random anime titles" thing on the first page (...heh heh...a lame but good way to find about anime I suppose xP) but what I hear the anime is a pretty good adaption of the game? makes me want to try to get my hands on the game more

I thought that the game for Fate/Stay Night was originally an H-game, unless there's another game that the H-game was originally based off of.

I'm fairly far behind...I think I'm only on episode 12 or something right now, and I think 18 just came out this last week. From what I can see, the anime is a kinda hodge-podge of the three different story lines. You see, there are three completely different storylines where sometimes the characters are significantly different, and I think they're pulling elements that they like out of all of them. Most of the story that I've seen so far seems to be following the first storyline, but there are definitely elements here and there of the others.
If you want to play the game, I hope you can read Japanese very well. The vocabulary and kanji used are apparently pretty difficult, so much so that I heard some native speakers were complaining that it was hard to understand. I've heard of folks trying to translate it into other languages, but I think the only one that I've heard of that has gone anyplace is Korean.

Yeah, Fate/Stay is considered an ero game, but it really doesn't focus as much on that stuff, IMO. The anime itself has no ero parts in it (or else it would be hard to release on TV ^_^), and I think they're working on a release on the PS2 that will have all of the questionable parts removed. So at least the anime and the PS2 version that's coming out will be more accessible to all ages.

| What ever is playing on Cartoon Network or on the Anime Channel On Demand for the most part. I'm also waiting to find time to watch the last disk of Gantz that I have laying around. Other than that I don't watch much. |

I'll be getting the Anime Network On Demand in not too terribly long. XD It seems quite exciting.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: If you have any problems with your sanity this anime is for you! As jaded to everything as I am this even freaks me out a bit, of course that doesn't stop me from grinning like some sort of unholy creature through the whole thing. Things get very confusing, and it's only on five episodes. You have been warned!
Now who wants a cookie? I swear I didn't put a needle in it...

Hmm... now you've got me interested. I guess I'm going to have to add this one to my "to watch" list. XD
It sounds decently interesting. ^_^

Okay, I just finished the first two episodes of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. All I have to say is: "Woah!" It's got this whole creepy undertone while all of the characters are drawn all light and bubbly and happy. I'm gonna hopefully watch the rest of the episodes that are out before Friday. Thanks, Fudozukushi!
