I'm going through Yu-Gi-Oh! right now, one of those shows I missed out on when I was a kid, I do have experience with video games and actual cards though. I'm halfway through season one and it's pretty darn good so far.
I also have one episode or two of Nichijou every now and then, I don't really like Japanese humor to be honest, though I have to say it's been pretty funny so far.

Just finished watching Fractal, not sure why there are so many negative reviews circulating out there about it, for me it was an enjoyable experience, the best way to describe it would be a mix of Sci Fi blended in with elements of Fantasy. The animation was flawless and the story; superb. The only gripe I have with it is how it ended (which to some extent is forgivable) and also why it was so short (11 episodes) I felt it could have been easily made into a 26 episode series.
Decided to give Tales from Earthsea a shot. Been putting it off because of all the low reviews it received, but honestly I didn't think it was as bad as I had heard. I'd probably rate it as average though. I really liked the way the movie handled the Villain's breakdown though. It was definitely creepy.
SPOILER!!:
Hats off to Ghibli for making this guy (yes, guy!) downright terrifying.

I've watched the last couple episodes of Casshern Sins that've aired on Toonami for whatever reason. It's got an interesting premise, though a lot of the character designs are really weird (Casshern himself) and since I started watching mid series, I dunno who some characters are or why they're doing what they're doing. In last night's episode, some characters were talking about eating Casshern to cure some disease... Anime is WEIRD. But it looks cool. Then again, years ago, a friend sat a bunch of us down to watch the live action Casshern movie and it was ALL style over substance, nothing made sense, heh... but yeah. May or may not keep watching this.
A while ago I was watching Claymore. It was alright, but it didn't keep me interested very well. Would watch an ep or two every once in a while, and finally just stopped at around the halfway point of the series. Anyhoo...
Wuv, Yer Mom
I rewatched all of Soul Eater for the hundredth time. I have also been keeping up with Naruto Ship on Hulu. Enjoying where the story is going so far
Spoiler: ready for Kabuto to bring the real Madara back with his reanimation and f*ck shit up
I started watching Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's on Hulu, and was like dafuq is dis shit.
The last anime I watched completely was Gurren Lagann. I'm in between a few. I re-watched Angel Beats after finishing classes. I am currently watching Fairy Tail, and it is epic as ****. Soooooo freakin awesome.
I love me my anime.

Best RP:Final Fantasy Chronicles of Exigo~The Fall of Spira
Check it out. The Fall of Spira is finished!
Last anime I watched was, Inuyasha. The whole seriesI have yet to watch the 4 movies. I'm currently watching Cowboy Bebop
So I just recently finished the first (And from what I'm told the only good) season of Black Butler.
I found it to be pretty awesome, but I have a few complaints....
1st of all, I found the ending to be somewhat lacking... I kinda wanted to see Sebastian do some soul-eatin'. They just kinda cut it off at the last minute. (Furthermore, where the heck was he taken??? That island was like never shown in the show before that, was it? I think I saw it during the opening but that really doesn't count as being "in the show".)
My second complaint is about the way the characters back-story's were told. I find that if you can (as I did) fall in love with the characters and care enough to continue, then you will eventually find out their stories. (Well pieces of them anyway...) But they waited a bit too long for that... I'm pretty sure Ciell had enough enemies to attack the estate earlier. They could've done that entire episode sooner, and it wouldn't have changed much.
A third problem I had was that so much of the show feels copied. Baldroy reminded me waaay to much of Havoc from FMA. (Smoking, blonde hair, ect.) Lao was alot like Ling from FMA:brotherhood. (But I guess black butler might've come first.) The police inspectors reminded me alot of Sherlock holms and watson. (Although I think that's kinda what they were going for.) I guess this complaint isn't really a complaint, it's just something I happened to notice. (I could point out alot more similarities but I really don't feel like it.
)
Aside from that I really found no problems with it. I thought it's depiction of how angel's cannot change the past but only offer a prettier version to be an interesting take on the subject and the whole concept of reapers working as seperate deity's I also liked. (Undertaker was awesome. :3)
An epic anime, that I'd recomend to anyone. (well so long as they can handle alot of "almost yaoi" moments.)
(What happened to Tanaka?!? I'd really like to know....)
Watching my way thru the old macross saga at the min! I love this series I havnt watched it since I was a teenager! It's still as awesome now as it was then! Just finished the "first half" as such where he finally decides to choose Lisa over minmai
Decided to watch some Puella Magi Madoka Magica this morning (7 episodes of 12 to be exact).Also, didn't mean to watch THAT many episodes in one go, but man, it really hooked me in! Haven't had that happen in a while.SPOILER!!:

I've been watching Detective Conan, it is quite engaging and I like mysteries. I'm 30+ episodes in and I plan to watch more. I'm obsessed with the anime I even went and ordered volume 1 of that show on dvd off amazon and I plan to buy more!
Thats about it.

About 3/4 of the way through Yu Yu Hakusho. One word "amazing" especially on BluRay, completely restored frame by frame, looks incredible. Loved the whole dark tournament, simply breath taking, almost couldn't pull myself away from all the action. Even the chapter with the tunnel to the demon world is intriguing. By far one of the best anime series I've ever seen. Can't believe it took this long for me to notice it but glad I did
Finished Kenshin in its entirety again about a week ago, started on Yu Yu Hakusho this week, about done with it (again). Also watching one that's semi new, Sword Art Online. Pretty interesting concept. People trapped in a virtual reality MMO that the crazy programmer removed the logout option from, and of course secretly rigged the console he developed with a device to microwave your brain if you tried to remove the virtual reality gear while the game was running, OR if you died in the game. Shit gets real pretty quick, and yeah. It's cool. Little heavy on the romance for me, but not so much that it takes away from the ass-kicking. Only 10 episodes out at the moment, releasing one a week.
For Our Lord Sheogorath, without Whom all Thought would be linear and all Feeling would be fleeting. Blessed are the Madmen, for they hold the keys to secret knowledge. Blessed are the Phobic, always wary of that which would do them harm. Blessed are the Obsessed, for their courses are clear. Blessed are the Addicts, may they quench the thirst that never ebbs. Blessed are the Murderous, for they have found beauty in the grotesque. Blessed are the Firelovers, for their hearts are always warm. Blessed are the Artists, for in their hands the impossible is made real. Blessed are the Musicians, for in their ears they hear the music of the soul. Blessed are the Sleepless, as they bask in wakeful dreaming. Blessed are the Paranoid, ever-watchful for our enemies. Blessed are the Visionaries, for their eyes see what might be. Blessed are the Painlovers, for in their suffering, we grow stronger. Blessed is the Madgod, who tricks us when we are foolish, punishes us when we are wrong, tortures us when we are unmindful, and loves us in our imperfection.
Initial D: first stage. Episodes 1-26 (oooh, I love the suspense! Must get more....)

Devil May Cry. Opening theme is awesome. Loved Lady and Trish going at it. There are only 12 episodes. I deeply wish Vergil was in it. Dante has the same voice actor as my Sephiroth (Japanese)!!! Dante is fkn sexy. Reboot can go fk itself. That is all.
When I first read this, I thought you were talking about the computer animated show called ReBoot, and was like "Where did that come from?". Haha. I just woke up when I read your post.Originally Posted by Crescent
Signed up to Hulu again to peruse their anime section, and Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit caught my eye. I used to watch that one when it was airing on Cartoon Network, but because of work conflicts I couldn't finish it. Now I can! But first gonna watch from the beginning to brush up on what's happening.
I also watched the first couple episodes of Chrno Crusade. I forgot how much of a shrieking harpy the VA for Rosette Christopher was (English dub, btw). I still like the show though. The main villain is delightful. :3

By the way, I finished Mroibito back when it was on CN aswell, in those glorious days of DVR. It was an epic series. It's alittle slow to start, but get's very good twords the end, I think you'll enjoy it alot.
Sweet was just thinking of watching this.... Do you recommend?
Sure its a nice fill-in for the videogame series.
I just finished watching Chrono Crusade today. The ending was sad, but beautiful at the same time, I did cry. I cried quite a bit. I really love shows about religion, angels and devils etc. Very interesting!
Now I just started watching Trigun! Awesome
Just finished watching Dragonaut The Resonance. I must admit despite the bad rap this anime has been getting I found myself really enjoying this series. Sure like some anime it does have its flaws but overall its a really good solid sci-fi anime series. 8.5/10
Steins;Gate came in the mail today. It's a rather good show. The plot has been rather predictable from what I've seen. Judging on what I've guessed so far, I came up with an ending to the show. I really hope it doesn't come out that way.
I have finished Saki: Achiga-Hen Episode of Side-A and Yuru Yuri Season 2 today. The former finished a few minutes ago, the latter finished this morning before I left for work. Both were sequels, and both were as good as the originals. The third part of Saki should be starting next month (I believe), and no clue on whether there will be a third season to Yuru Yuri. I kinda want to see a third season, and I kinda don't. If they make one, they will most likely introduce more characters, and I like the characters in it just fine. The show has enough quirky characters as it is.
No clue as to what I will watch next.

Just finished the remake of the guyver series! Loved it
Iv always loved the original series and the remake is every bit as good
Id recommend it
I finished the series Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou this morning. It is different than other anime I have watched, in that there is no story throughout the series. It is a bunch of little skits that usually end with me laughing. It is good for a laugh. It is quite funny poking fun at the things high school boys do.

I rewatched the Hades arc of Saint Seiya with Spanish subs. But lately I have started watching Yu Yu Hakusho. Haven't made much progress since I only watch two episodes, but now I'm at episode 18, I believe. Am I the only person who can actually put up with Kuwabara's voice without much trouble? xD
Please read the poetry from two great friends of mine. May they find peace.

I thank THE LEGEND OF DRAGOON because it wasn't for this game I would have never started playing FINAL FANTASY and discovered FINAL FANTASY X which is my favorite game I would be more than happy to put this pic as my signature.
Transformers Victory on youtube. It's a series from the late 80's, between '88 and 90 I think, with English subtitles and I'm loving it. It's my first real go at watching anime and as it hasn't strayed too far from what I usually watch it's not that big a stepFor its time it has really great animation which may explain why there are only around 30 episodes and about six of them are clip shows which add nothing to the story and the voice acting is really good too. Especially the leader of the villains, Deathsaurus (pronounced Deszaras) has possibly the best evil laugh I've ever heard. I think i'm starting to blab a bit so I'll cut it short for now.

Witchblade, it's okayish, I guess. Storywise it tries to do a lot of things, though most of it is either dropped almost instantly or halfassed. The main story is not worth mentioning, really, in fact I feel Witchblade would be better off if it was solely about mother and daughter struggling to find a place they can call home. What exactly is Witchblade, who made it, for what purpose, why it choose Masane, how the hell did she wind up in that quake epicenter and with a bay that's not hers... you'll never get an answer to those questions and many more. On a positive note, the animation looks pretty good.

Just finished watching both Dream Eater Merry and This Ugly Yet Beautiful World over the holidays.
Anime: Dream Eater Merry
Thoughts: at first glance it didn't look like much and to that extent I did wish that the ending was a little more fleshed out but overall its a very decent anime with likeable characters. Although I did wish that Yumeji played more of a part in the story, even though he was in almost every scene he couldn't do much to help and therefore the story focused more on Merry (hence the title Dream Eater Merry) but like I said, decent, just wish it didn't end so abruptly, there were so many unanswered questions and much of the story was left unfinished (possibly hinting at a second season) still I did enjoy watching it and I highly recommend it.
Anime: This Ugly Yet Beautiful World
Thoughts: there wasn't much holding this anime together and as other have pointed out the distractions of "mass amounts of porn" was at the very least a distraction, It could've done without the many nude scenes and cliches. That aside I did enjoy the story and the further along you got into the anime the episodes and plot "did" eventually get better. So if your not put off by all of the nudity in the first couple of episodes and you can get past the 7th or 8th episode then I would recommend watching it at least once.
