Most of those look horrible.
The only one that I might be interested in is Togainu no chi, because I like game of death premises.

I agree, most of the anime for the fall looks unimpressive at best, Although Togainu should be pretty good, as long as it not some 100+ episodes with most of them being filler.

Come to think of it, I might like Panty and Stocking, considering a lot of people are discounting it as junk, I'll suppose I should check it out at the very least, considering I seem to like anime that everyone wants to trash, like a M.D Geist or something like that.

Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

Sorry, shameless advertising coming up.

Don't blame me, I just want readers to discuss about stuff, and I don't want it to be in vain.

To justify my spam, any recommendations for the latest anime?

Nothing on there really stands out for me. I just want Darker Than Black season three and the second Evangelion movie to come out in North America.

DTB season 3 probably won't happen, that's what I've heard at least.

Is there any particular reason why? The end of the second season made it seem impossible for them not to make a third season.

Oh well, as long as they end up releasing the first season on Bluray I'll be more than satisfied.

Doing a Satoshi Kon Marathon, currently on Paranoia Agent. So far so good.

Also, I teared up at the end of Millenium Actress.

Saw a couple of films at some sort of travelling anime exhibition that hit my city.

Redline and King of Thorn. Summer Wars was also there, but I had already seen it a few months ago (great movie).

Redline was great. It had amazing style and animation, it was incredibly funny, and altogether thoroughly entertaining. The film is basically what you would get if you got the film version of Speed Racer, turned it (back) into an anime, turned the dial up to eleven, and mixed in a heaping dose of animated flair. The plot concerned some sort of hardcore future car race on a cyborg Nazi planet called Roboworld. The cyborg Nazis do not want the racers on their world and hilarity ensues.

If you get the chance, see it.

King of Thorn, however, was pretty average. It some some sort of sci fi survival horror which worked reasonably well as a dumb Hollywood style action horror but devolves into a reasonable dose of pretentious nonsense. I enjoyed it well enough, and a few of the action scenes were quite entertaining, but it's not really something I would recommend. It's one of (if not the) the first anime I've seen that utilises stereotypical hollywood action-horror archetypes (rather than anime archetypes) as its uncreative fallback, so that's uh, a little bit interesting?

Also, again. Summer Wars. See it. No excuses. Redline too.

If you like Violence Jack you might like Devilman, since it's made by the same person and the style is similiar.
The Devilman OVAS are especially very cool.

Oh yeah, I did remember seeing the OVAs a while ago too. Damn, I wasn't able to sleep at night after watching that, and I normally don't get shocked by stuff like that. It sure sounds like Go Nagai has a very sick mind, not that I'm complaining, but still.

The end of the second season just had me raging so much. Just. What the fuck? What the fuck happened at all?

It's all about the boss who randomly just appears, clothes torn, fuck off machine gun. What. The. Fuck?

Honestly, I didn't really have very high expectations for Soul Eater, but over time, I started to get hooked on the series. The ending though, was meh at best, considering how impressive the action and comedy was throughout the series. And I don't really apporve of "marrying" toilets, but I guess that's shonen anime for ya.

Because it's extremely pretentious and poorly written. Some of the action scenes are entertaining, but overall it's a very poorly done series.

It wasn't that bad of a series, but it got a little too pretentious and they seem to abuse boob shots and blood and gore to a point where it almost became something like Gantz, except treated more seriously. And that's saying something from me, who is generally big on blood and gore in anime, like Hellsing or Mad Bull.

I think Gantz does a phenomenal job of making the reader (or viewer) feel sympathy for the characters by depicting these massive, hopeless dilemmas that they are forced into. You see them fighting scores of increasingly dangerous monsters and you just feel like 'There's no way they can get out of this'. The gore makes it even more stark because it feels more real that way, more affecting.

I don't know how many people read it but the current arc is a masterwork of this theme. I think Gantz is far better than Elfen Lied.

I don't really get that feeling when I saw Gantz, partly because almost all of the characters acted like total douchebags to each other, and in that respect, I didn't care if they got offed by some alien. The only real exception would be Kei and Kaito, who were probably the only decent characters in the anime.

You see them fighting scores of increasingly dangerous monsters and you just feel like 'There's no way they can get out of this'. The gore makes it even more stark because it feels more real that way, more affecting.

Hmm, standing for 10 minutes thinking about why they should kill an alien that chopped up 4 people into bloody bits doesn't make any logical sense to me, it makes me wonder why the alien didn't do anything to Kaito at the time. I know later in the series, they do grow some balls and fight back, but even so, it still made me mad about overall failed logic of Kei and Kaito.

I don't know how many people read it but the current arc is a masterwork of this theme. I think Gantz is far better than Elfen Lied.

As I have said before a long time ago, the manga is far superior to the anime, and I'm sure it's far better than Elfen Lied too.
