Maybe it's because they tend to embody something I hate about anime now ('everybody likes the cynical dick').

That and aside from high production values they're startling lacking in every other department.

So yeah, five day weekend ahead, time to watch some stuff (for once in my fucking life).

ANIME ROCKS

are any of you guys watching school rumble or kekkaishi

It's probably just because overall they're quite shallow, and unmemorable.

Most of them, anyway.

Is he as sexist in the series as he is in the visual novel?

Yeah.

That's what we in the biz call 'being sexist.'

Moar liek Fate/Stay in the Kitchen.

Fucking awesome.

I watched Vampire Hunter D, then turned it off five minutes later.

More like Gundam Double AWESOME.

Haven't seen such a "so bad it's good" show in ages.

So finally stop watching gay porn, and checked the rest of Serial Experiments Lain. Mind was throughly fucked, and I liked it.

Funny part was when there was the talk about the history of computers and hypertext, and we'd just gone through that in a course at school.

More like Gundam Double BONERS.

27 episodes left to go and I'm shocked to say I'm still enjoying this fucking show.

Well, not really, though it starts making sense around the end.

I just like that kind of stuff. What's the matter? Too DEEP for you?

I enjoyed Bloodlust, if only for the impressive visuals.

Hated the comic relief face-hand, though.

The fanservice is one of the few things that keeps me watching this anime, but I enjoy every minute of it. I'm still waiting to see Wang Liu Mei in that sexy cheongsam she's known for, but images like this can definitely tide me over.

Pretty sure Gendo was talking about ZZ Gundam, AKA Double Zeta. Also, fanservice is a horrible reason to watch anything. I mean, tits are nice but where are the parts where we have character development, interaction, story structure? Nope, just some titties. Though, atleast it keeps your interest. But still, fanservice and moe-shit is no reason to subject yourself through 00. But, couldn't be worse than SEED or X.

Y'know what...

Fuck, I don't even have words for my disgust.

Check out Boogiepop Phantom.

Also, I will finally start watching Lain after my friend goes home tomorrow.

We've had several different ways to have people join, but instead just tell us which series you like. Other than that, just stick around to discussions or talk about what anime you're currently into and watching.

Oh ok. Well the anime im into right now is Hellsing, Cowboy bee bop,G gundum,Code geass,Rama 1/2 and Akira. Aswell im a fan of the first season of Death Note but ive seen to many animes to name out all my favorites.

Started watching Phoenix. Beautifully done so far, extremely glad I picked it up.

Going anime/manga shopping to reward how good I've been when my boss was away, so I'm going to be on the lookout for some (anime-wise) Lupin, Grave of the Fireflies, Nausicaa, Maison Ikkoku, and I dunno what else. Any suggestions, guys? Just ones I should keep my eyes out for (don't mention Champloo--it's apparently always sold out whenever i look :( ), and that are either comedy or action ones.

I'm not mentioning Gundam stuff for now--got my eye on a really really really good auction on eBay right now.

Manga-wise, going to try and continue Lupin, Berserk, JJBA, Ikkoku, Nana, and I dunno what else, lol.

Card Captor Sakura.

No fucking joke.

You could try checking out Chi's Sweet Home. It's about a kitten.

On fanservice, I agree, shitty reason to watch a show. If I want porn I know where to find some, it's not really hard, you know? Though i must admit I'm a bit of a sucker for romance.

Yeah, seriously.

I don't like TITS N' ASS mixing with my plot, because it almost never works.

That and most fanservice focuses on boring shit like disgustingly oversized breasts and zOMG TINY BIKINI anyway, so doesn't really get my blood flowing.

Though i must admit I'm a bit of a sucker for romance.

Nothing wrong with that.

I mean, I get pretty girly about that stuff. Shit, if I bothered to write anything but bullshit on forums, I'd probably write fanfic D:

The first episode definitely has the best part though.

I thought the humming episode was the best out of the one I watched.

It was anti-humour at its finest.

Last time I watched Cromartie High School, my favorite episodes were the first and last.

Picked up second volume of Black Lagoon SB--hopefully my dad'll chip in some cash so I can pick up Zeta Gundam this weekend, god willing.

Picked up the last volume (baww) of Rebirth--the first manga series I actually got into back in grade 8 or 9, as well as the next volumes of Ikkoku and Berserk.

JJBA, Lupin (they're selling Lupin for some ridiculous price of $4 per volume, DO WANT), and other ones will have to wait till the next time.
