Watching/Downloading

Bleach
Shakugan no Shana
Shuffle!
Suzuka
Just goint to mention a couple of series from the new season that I think are worth checking out since I'm liking them, I'm going to mention more than 5:
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
The Third: Azure-Eyed Girl
TOKKO
Utawarerumono
Black Lagoon
Himawari!
ZEGAPAIN
There are others that seem good, but I haven't checked them out yet.
wow, the ones before Bud's post were back when Black Cat was looking good.
First impressions can be decieving, but here's my personal top 5, in order, of the new bunch.
1. Zegapain (beautifully artistic and stylish, but suffers from crappy mech designs and has the potential to degenerate into your run-of-the-mill mecha series)
2. Utawareumono (nice setting, lovely character designs)
3. TOKKO (monsters, swords, perverse humor, babes)
4. The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi (funny and wacky shit)
5. Black Lagoon (guilty pleasure anime. I love sexy girls toting pistols. And the VA who played Runge in Monster is in it! Not a thinking anime.)
Older series I'm still watching:
1. Eureka7 (where have you been if not watching this show?)
2. Blood+ (plot's been getting better, action keeps punching)
3. Rescue Wings (the only anime I've seen in awhile where I can actually think 'maybe this can actually happen in real life'. Good animation, a little slow)
4. Zoids Genesis (average in most respects, but a rather thoughtful 'kiddy mecha' series)
5. Ergo Proxy (just getting confusing now... still rocks pretty hard)
Mention: Legend of Galactic Heroes (still being subbed, snail's pace release the only downside of this excellent show)
Fate/Stay Night (I still don't see what everyone thinks it's so good for... it almost made my...)
Do NOT watch list.
1. KIBA - good action, everything else is like a public latrine at a burrito and beer festival.
2. Princess Princess (just don't. Seriously, don't.)
3. Bleach fillers (quit early on in Bounto arc)
4. Fighting Beauty Wulong (crappy pacing, mediocre all around)
5. Ouran High School Club (just not my style, can see others liking it)
Mention. Naurto (the filler episodes really do blow, but goddamn I'm addicted to this show)
Still waiting on Jyu oh Sei and Glass no Kantai
Yes, I've been busy. And I'm going to give The Third and possibly NANA a look-see in the not so distant future as well.
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".
I can't help but notice your #2 on the do NOT watch list...Originally Posted by masamuneehs
Tell me, how did you stumble upon that particular train wreck? (not that I've actually seen it myself; the very concept caused me to weep bitterly)
My updated list:
*Note:Right now Naruto and Bleach would be on my list if it weren't for fillers
1.) Gash Bell - just watch it. You'll laugh so hard.
2.) Onepiece
3.) FMA the movie
4.) Prince of Tennis
5.) Im going to start either Blood+ or Eyeshield 21 soon.

I keep in touch with them and one of them talked me into DLing this one ('just try one, you thought Kyou Kara Maou was funny didn't you?,' she said)
Yaoi fangirls are a crazy pack and I know it's best to stay on their good side. So i watched and gave her my quite scathing critique on it while trying to make it through the longest 22 minute period of my life.The OP alone nearly killed me.
edit- And it would have been #1 but PP at least doesn't take itself seriously or try to be anything more than senseless shounen-ai fangirl fodder. In fact, it had a great quote somewhere in it that made me laugh out loud because it was perfect for describing that entire genre. Let me find it.
found it - The main character is explaining to the teacher that he doesn't think he'll be recieved well at his new (all boys) school, because he's a guy. To this the teacher responds, "Oh (whateverhisnameis), I think you'll find that common sense doesn't always apply here."
Perfect description of both the shounen-ai genre and a majority of its fans.
