There's actually no way it can get better than Episode 8.
I'm tempted to just stop watching since the show is like 50% filler and it just peaked like a motherfucker.
That's what I was thinking about two pages ago. Tough out the crap. It gets awesome again around episode 12-13. |

 Edit: Apparently, Gaianx has reserved ~40% of the animation budget for the last 5 episodes. It's like bizzaro-Eva, or something. :D |

Holy monkeyfuck. If they're using only 60% of their budget for everything prior, those last five episodes are going to leap off my hard drive and give me burning spirit beyond-the-impossible nerd-fellatio when they come out.
I cain't hawdly wait.
I'm guessing this means that the movies (you know there'll be movies) will be made entirely with crayons and a cameraphone though.

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei is pretty hilarious. Like a reverse GTO where the teacher is suicidally depressed and tries to help his students only to exacerbate their problems. Also the backgrounds have random quotes all over the place and "censored" stuff is covered by a photo of some random guy making wierd faces.

I thought School Days is one of those normal romance anime. I was really wrong.  |

lol, I cannot believe how Lucky Star delivers each and every week. I'm not sure what I liked more; Nagato animated Lucky Star-style, or Hirano switching between her Haruhi and Kona-chan voices. |

Q F T Really you've got to slog through some stuff but damn that was an ending that was fun! Its very very very much a mecha show but if you sat through any of Gundam Seed or enjoyed shows like Gunparade March you should try it out. First thing I managed to finish in awhile. Also, I watched Karau Phantom Memory, I wonder what Stormwaltz thinks of it feels like it mighta been right up his alley for some reason. |

I'm only watching Lucky Star and Higurashi right now. I'm also waiting for the 5th Maria-sama OVA to get released on fansubs.
Not really sure what else to look at right now. And I still have quite a number of things waiting to be watched...someday.

I cut Geass off when it ceased releasing regular new eps around 20 (February?). I found it to be half badass mecha/drama and half eye-stabbingly terrible CLAMP high-school comedy. Edit: TTGL19. Holy fuck. Next episode NEED. NEEEEEEEED. |

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "Burning Courage" variety. The last Mecha-type show I liked was FMP, and not even really for the mecha parts.
If you mean stuff like Gundam, where you have a gabillion meaningless filler episodes (imo)....Do Not Want.
Actually, looking at what I currently own or "own," the only 2 series I have with mechs in them are FMP and some GitS stuff. Neither of which I would really call a mecha show.

Not to distract from the kitsch comedy animes, but I've been watching Bleach again since a friend of mine has gotten really into it and we've rekindled our amusement at Japanese people attempting to sing in English. Our 3 years of Japanese in high school killed our funny bone for Engrish singing, but Bleach's 4th opening song is sang entirely in English...
and it is totally impossible to understand. It's actually kinda catchy, but what's hysterical is that all the episodes we're watching are done by the same sub group, and the subtitles for this ENTIRELY ENGLISH song are different in every single episode.
I challenge you all to figure out what the hell they're singing if you can find the song (Tonight Tonight Tonight by Beat Crusaders).

for some reason i just lost interest in FMP mecha action. because the way they portray the fights weren't that satisfying. What's with this abstract 'Lambda Drive' ? Using fighting spirit to empower mecha? The resolution wasn't even that great. Gauron was stupid till the end. I supose that's what kinda turn me off TTGL. It has colourful character, but the loss of K was a bit hard to take. The show just went emo. Then it got back up again etc. Without explanation why they can't seem to beat this fella other than he has the 'Goku factor' and a bloody big drill. I'm really hoping Code Geass S2 would start soon, that show has all the right mix of politics, war, mecha, people conflict, ideology and a touch of mystic. strip away the mecha and we'll still have a great story. |

I don't recall hearing about it before this. Based on the ADV trailer, I might have filed it right out of mind. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "Burning Courage" variety. I suspect he means stuff like GaoGaiGar - "The difference between30% and 100% is guts!" |

If nothing else Straz, download the first three eps and stop if you aren't struck by it. If you don't think the series is the robot jesus by the time the first three eps are up, forget it, you're probably not going to like the rest. I'll even make it easy for you. |

Like I said, I didn't watch all the FMP stuff for the mechs, mostly for Kaname....and maybe Sosuke, Tessa, Mellisa, and Kurtz too. Then again, I actually like School Rumble, so what does that say? |

Then again, I actually like School Rumble, so what does that say? same here. Fumoffu was great. I really couldn't give a fuck about the plot anymore. I realize it can never be another Gunparade (the sequel of GM sucked....BAD). School rumble first season was fresh but I think the writer is running out of ideas. |

Well, part of the problem with SR s2 was that they were getting too close to where the manga series is currently. So in actuality, they actually were running out of ideas and material, hence the filler junk in the second season.
Speaking of anime, I need to post another, post-Otakon, picture of my PC desk. Possibly this weekend.

SO, yeah....Higurashi is becoming Very interesting. I might have to re-watch the entire series once this second season ends.

No, because they ended on a gigantic fucking cliffhanger and then stuck on a little note "SEQUAL ON TEH WAY KEKELOL ^_____________^". Shit like that makes me want to string them up by their toenails. |
