The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya :
it's like some sort of genshiken
but by episode 3 I give it a rating of "FAILZ"
god the pace is so slow...
don't tell me I've got to watch at least till ep 5, right...

school rumble.... i guess that's why you like Melancholy eh?

hmm will be checking out fate/stay night soon enough

I watched gantz very late but I give it a "ok!" rating. definitely good as a boredom killer.

I actually tried watching LAIN but.... the pace also killed it for me, my attention span is easily wavered!

*prays for Cromartie series #2*

For F/SN, the action start to kick in around episode 9 or 10. Until then you'll have a bad impression of "lol harem anime", but its backstory and its characters get interesting.

For Suzumiya Haruhi, I am not even asking for the comedy of the year with thousand layers of understanding, but for a comedy that do something else and do it right. Should it be the characters and the plot, they are stereotypes, Kyon knows about it and point it out right in the first episode with this voice that conveys sarcasm and resignation so fine and dandy.

I still wanna see Rozen Maiden.

Last thing I saw was a few minutes of Mai Hime.

I still need to finish Gundam Seed and Tenjou Tenge.

Just finished watching RM:T. I liked it more than the first one.

No problem with that. I could watch Tsukihime without crying

Oh, now that I remember, I need to finish watching AIR and Macross Zero... and I'm still waiting for my Robotech: Shadow Chronicles movie >/

Gun should watch Princess Princess!

Ep. 1 might leave you going "WTF" (hell, the entire anime might leave you going "WTF"), but it gets really funny from Ep. 2 onward. So at least try the first two or three.
Natashou for teh win~

P.S. Don't feel guilty if you feel the need to fap while watching. It's totally natural.

I just finished watching Beck, even though i'm not into music at all i really liked it!

Blood + is so-so, it can be pretty gory at times but is not much of an horror.

i watch Guyver when i feel i'm sleepy, but not really that much.

something different, yes please. that's probably why I liked rozen maiden. haruhi seems to be (remember I've only seen 3 eps) nothing new, even if the main character turns out to be an alien... I know it's hard to be original... but I just didn't find it that interesting. I did laugh at some points though! I wonder if I'm just too hard to please these days.

princess princess? why do i smell loli?

Beck seemed good when I checked it out, but I figured it might be a musical in anime form... think I'll take another look

Um... You will- er.. Well, I thought it was weird. I will just tell you that.

Anyways, I've been watching:

- Z Gundam: New Translation
- Gundam Seed: Special Edition
- Princess Princess
- "The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina"

oh damn. i forgot the golden rule of anime, as told to me by old bitch master Oro.

"always watch five episodes before judging"

meh. i decided to watch melancholy eps 4 just to start a flame war about how crap it was.

unfortunately, it totally jumped in another direction and became quite interesting.

damn.

Saw Howl's Moving Castle. Wow. My niece loves it and so do I. But... Billy Crystal as a fire demon? WTFocker?

On a lesser note, saw School Rumble Nigakki, ep 4 is gold.

On an even lesser note, saw Suzumiya Haruhi, ep 4 is CRAP! So far every episode since the first one has gotten steadily more uninteresting.

Also watching:
Ouran High School Host Club
Black Lagoon
The Third
NANA
Blood+
Eureka SeveN
One Piece
Bleach
Naruto
Sunabouzu
Fullmetal Alchemist
Inuyasha
