Everyone keeps raving to me about this show. I plan on watching it once i finish my backlog. BD's should be out by the time i finish Aria, LOGH, Spice and Wolf, Iblard Time, and Kanon. I have a feeling I am going to be extremely disappointed when I do watch it because it's probably average at best but just getting lots of hype.

It's not average at all. It's from the director of Revolutionary Girl Utena and I must say it is living up to expectations.

I've never watched utena but the impression I get is that most people on /a/ haven't seen utena and just say "oh penguindrum is by the utena director so it's great". I don't know jack shit about utena apart from the weighty precedence it carries and there's some lesbian undertones or overtones or regular tones or something. That's pretty much it.

But penguindrum is a thing of beauty. It has, as pat has mentioned, one of the best soundtracks in recent anime, in particular the op and a lil' bit spoilery (episode 9) but absolutely beautiful insert song. Plus it's got a really gripping plot, I still don't really know what's going on but it's kept me hooked and as soon as tiger and bunny finishes (in like 12 hours wtf omg omg etc it'll be the biggest anime on my calendar by quite a margin.

Also I'm reading legend of the strongest man kurosawa on my commute to work, on vol 9 at the moment, really enjoying it. Very dark, black humour, something I don't normally see so much in the anime and manga I watch/read. Thanks to whoever suggested it way back when I asked for manga suggestions.

TBH I dropped T&B after the first episode. I didn't find it gripping at all. It both looks and sounds generic as fuck.

I have been getting really in to music since I bought my Grado's. I fucking love this soundtrack. Everything is so upbeat, nostalgic, and warm. I think I am gonna rewatch FLCL again soon just so I can listen to the music in context. I am also interested on how my opinion of the show has changed over the past couple years.

I disagree. I think Dead Leaves is awesome, and the animation was definitely not subpar. Plus, it's much better than FLCL.

Also, anybody who liked Dead Leaves should watch Aachi wa Ssipak. It's a Korean animated movie with that same psychotic spirit and it's even more hilarious.

For each there own I guess. I would have probably enjoyed it if I was on acid or something. My main complaint with the animation is how little detail there is in everything. You can talk about how it is unique if you want but when it comes down to it it is lazy, cheap animation. There is not much shading at all. It kind of looks like someone played around with the liquify filter on a cheap comic book. As far as the story goes I would have found it kind of interesting if it went in to more depth about how these abilitys where obtained, some history on the prison, some more about what happened before they reawakened. The humor in it isn't really that creative though. I would say it is on par with AFHV, and Ow My Balls humor. You say it is much better then FLCL, please elaborate on how.

What a in-depth explanation. For that same reason Mars of Destruction is the best anime of all time. Sure the animation is shit and there is no storyline but I find it very charming.

I plan on checking Kaiji out very soon. I have heard many positive things about the show. Once I get roughly 25% through logh and find a good stopping place I am gonna force myself to take a break and choose a different show. It will probably be hard for me to stop watching once I am that far in; I am only at episode 5 now and I am already in love with all the music, and the storyline.Kaji will either be at the 25% mark of LOGH or 50% mark of LOGH for sure. Right now I am trying to decide if I should watch Spice & Wolf or Kaiji first. I haven't really watched much romance/drama recently though so Spice & Wolf sounds a bit more desirable.

Love the manga version of Kaiji
Is there an anime for Akagi? I can't seem to find it or if it even exist.

There are things I do and there are things I want to do. Overall, I just want to live my life and end it the way I want.

Yeah, there is one and it's 26 episodes long. It's definitely worth watching.

-Finished Overman King Gainer. I enjoyed every second of it, and the robot designs/concepts are some of the most unique I've seen. King Gainer, Golems, Dominator, Overdevil -- they're all awesome. Happy Tomino is best Tomino, 'nuff said.

-Reading GTO at the moment, and it's fantastic. Greatest cast in a manga ever (except for you, Teshigawara, damn asshole). Bitch tears were shed at Urumi's suicide attempt (the second one shown in the manga, volume 16-17); hell, the whole arc had me at the edge of my seat.

onizukaXurumi OTP forever and ever
The odds are that Azusa will win, but I'm okay with that as well.

Is that screen cap from an anime based on Caligula?

He is the emperor of the Castrop system in episode 5 of LOGH.This character is probably based loosely off of Caligula, but as far as the whole show goes no. In this episode what basically happens is the Castrop System has some super over powered weapon that they think is indestructible. It gets destroyed; then the emperor starts abusing his men. A few of his men start stabbing him then. Afterwards they claim it was all the emperors evil doing to save there own skins; which wasn't entirely untrue.

Got some new manga that I'll hopefully enjoy:

I couldn't find a not shitty hardsubbed tvrip of kaiji so I decided I am skipping it. Gotten through the first four episodes of Spice and Wolf and it is okay so far. The story is pretty original and the characters are very likeable. Animation isn't bad; it isn't anything special though. The ED is very cute; I like it. Overall not anything amazing but it seems like it will definitely be worth while watching.

Wow, despite my efforts to try this a little more subjectively. Clannad is indeed boring, forced 'drama' and 'comedy'. Like it's average as average comes. Holy shit.

AS better pick up real fast. Or else all it will prove is that I was right all along. And that people who watch this and enjoy it really are naive and generally unexposed to credible material and execution. Or perhaps disillusioned into believing that it's quality, most likely all the above.
