how recent? The most recent stuff I've seen that I like, as far as I can think of, would be....

Tekkon Kinkreet
Paprika
Kemonozume
Hellsing Ultimate
Black Lagoon
Darker Than Black

And I was digging Ergo Proxy, but I haven't been watching it. I should get on that.

I still do it. Well, now that I think of it, it's been a while.

Anything Getter Robo (especially Armageddon, New Getter and the original 70s series)
Daitarn 3
Mazinkaiser
Armor Hunter Mellowlink
Armored Trooper Votoms

TIT ROCKETS!

Guys, I'm cool now, right?

Yeah, that Go Nagai's one wacky dude.

I remain unimpressed.

Mean Score: 8.4.

I have not updated my anime list in quite some time. I can never remember what I've watched.

I just added a few to my list, but I've probably missed a decent few.

I'm hungover, not sure what timezone I'm in, and failing say anything useful or witty here. So basically business as usual. Now, off to find some of these anime that all of you keep mentioning that I missed during my sand filled vacation. Because it's that or clean up the empty alcohol containers.

I also need to shove my yakisoba in the microwave.

i love bleach

That there's a good movie.

What's the matter, not elitist enough for you?

Oh no.

Quite the opposite.

It's too elitist.

You obviously haven't watched anything to the end that you thought wasn't stellar.

Well, I just want to avoid Four Point Scale, 10 is reserved to those shows/movies I actually held my breath throughout. Baccano! looks like a potential 10, actually.

Finished Wing. The ending was really good.and I found the overall plot to be compelling... aside from the endless amounts of dialogue and and the overall theme of total pacifism (haha, that'll never work). The characters were really good I found, aside from Catherine, Wu Fei, Relena, Dorthy, Quatre (at points when he was acting REALLY gay). Duo, Trowa, Noin, were really the best characters overall. Heero and Zechs had their moments, and Duo's bitch Hilde was a surprise, did not expect her to be cool.

I thought it was great, that said, gonna start a KILL EM ALL TOMINO series right now.

...What?

You basically only gave 7-9 throughout your list and...

What are you talking about?

...What?

That was a bizarre trope to reference.

I think you had like... One 6 and one 4. And a couple of tens.

I also only give tens to the best of the best.

And as it turns out, mostly only to movies.

Well, it's true I haven't watched a lot of really dreadful stuff though, and I can't exactly remember some of the more worse stuff I watched.

I should probably actually lower the score for Outlaw Star, towards the end I was just really irritated and waiting them to get to the ending.

Also, as for movies, it's mostly that it's easier to hold momentum over a movie than a series.

The mean score on mine is 6.7. I've seen a lot of bad anime.

Mean score is 6.9, I've seen my fair share of crap and mediocrity.

Hmmm.

Was anyone else pissed off by the K-ON! premiere?

People like this trash?

The Wire is where it's at, whitey.

24 is a Republican wet dream.

I've never liked it anyway.

That is a show that I keep telling myself I'm going to watch some day.

You cannot honestly be surprised by this.

K-ON is like every show that's come out in the past three years.

I accidently the whole elitism. Is this dangerous?

Johnny, I have a question that involves the TV tropes website in your sig. I've noticed a common theme in anime, but I'm not sure what to call it; it could be described as, "You're our only hope in the fight against them because you're one of them." For example, Kira Yamato in Gundam SEED is a Coordinator who fights for the Naturals, and Goku is a Sayajin who defends Earth from the Sayajin threat (Vegeta and Nappa).

Hmm, not sure.

Sounds a bit like Hunter Of His Own Kind.

Also, everything is better with a Jazz soundtrack.

That Ideon show, sure is something, it is kicking ass, Bes is a pimp, and Cosmos (no that is seriously his name) looks like Amuro... with a jewfro... and acts like a complete asshole to everyone. THAT'S TOMINO FOR YOU! Hopefully he develops character before he dies, it would be rather sad if he doesn't.

I've been watching Hajime no Ippo. Stuff is awesome.

By the by, does anyway of you possess a Myanimelist?

Rarely is it that you find an anime which is better the original manga, at least in America anyway. However, I just finished watching and reading "Trigun", and I got to give a slight nod to the anime.
