Watched Blood: The Last Vampire live action movie last week. Oh wow, how it sucked. I'm going back to my Blood+ anime series.

RideBack: what's wrong with Rin hair, she looks like a centipede :(
also, do you know how to use Spread Legs Form? lololol

Not sure what to think of Eden of the East yet, but it's certainly different enough to warrant a try. After 8 episodes the main theme of this show is unmistakably penis.

I marathoned Hikaru no Go. After 75 episodes I still have no idea how to play Go, but it's a good study on how to make nonsensical crap into something epic.

Also I caught up in Hajime no Ippo and it seriously fucks me up having to wait a whole week for new episodes. Not to mention Ippo STILL has yet to have a serious fight in the new series.

And why do I keep losing interest in Gintama?

Gojira: Why indeed. I dunno, I'm still laughing at almost every episode like I did with the older ones. Even the serious ones are good.

New Challenger is almost ending at 26 episodes. Will be getting another season later on, though, so we may get to see Ippo fight again.

Eden's ending was pretty nice. Can't wait for the movies.

Been watching Basquash recently and it's pretty crazy. Wow at Haruka's...umm..."basketballs" and Iceman's "DESTROY!" abuse never gets old. Really liking this quite a bit.

Yeah it's not like I think it's bad... just... I don't know. I can't bring myself to watch it most of the time.

Almost ending? But the opening still features characters that have yet to make an appearance. That can't be right.

Gintama has those 'but you just did it because you really care about your sister isn't it' cringe worthy moments and could do without most of the fights, still the funny parts(what, 75% of the show?) are pretty great. Maybe it goes too much toward dirty jokes at times.

Hmm I guess it's probably that you're burnt out from the series or had a loooong marathon of it recently and thought you had enough. Understandable.

Yeah well, Rikiya Koyama, Takamura's seiyuu, mentioned news of a next season after recording the 26th (and final) episode of NC in his blog.

Maybe they'll use the same OP? Though I doubt it.

I still hate Haruhi but I love that it clearly wants its own fanbase to feel the same way about it that I do.

Adding my 2 cents.

Other than finishing up Toradora, I haven't watched any anime at all this year. Since I've had some extra time (a bit too extra), I decided to catch up on what I normally wanted to watch. Hatsukoi Limited and Hayate. I also decided to add in K-on to see what all the hype is about. Finished Hatsukoi Limited and found it really nice. Normally if I read a manga before seeing the anime version, I'd still prefer the manga more and the same goes to if I watched something first before reading it but I enjoyed the anime version of Hatsukoi more than the manga although they did leave out a few chapters (which aren't important) but didn't give Yuuji his proper ending.

Downloading Hayate and K-on now. I honestly dunno what else is interesting to dl because I've totally been out of the anime loop. I heard there is a new season of Haruhi but I'm staying very far away from that. There's a new Higurashi right?

Rei's story is okay, but if you're expecting anything remotely yandere, you'll be disappointed.

On a related note, Umineko (aka spiritual successor to Higurashi) is already quite promising. Minus Maria's uuuuuUUUUUUing.
