Anyway, I think Shigofumi is a pretty good watch, especially since after the “Out of body expierence/Scared of cats” thing starts showing up, altough yes, the blood is still black…..BLACK BLOOD!!!!

In my opinion, Kaiji is a pretty good physological show, but the main flaw is that it takes a very long time for the audience to be fully into the show, resulting in a situation where it really draws you in, and then cuts of just at the point where you are really engrossed in it…yeah.

…never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down! And etc.

@ usagijen: No love for Futami? I prefer her over soccer girl, if only because her IQ is multiple orders higher.

Wouldn’t bishie Ayumi still have his long flowing hair though? He looks weird with short hair.

@ Vadigor: Wow, you certainly have a lot of backlog to grind through. Good luck with that!

@ W4: Oh man I lol’d so hard at your scenario of Futami getting the hiccups, I can almost imagine it.

Can’t say I’m with you on the Bamboo Blade point though, I think the show itself could do without males entirely, thereby upping the yuri undertones.

@ Greggo: A rare species you Asuka supporters are.

@ Siva: COOL AND-O SPICEY! Yea…I still have no idea why I follow it though.

I’m not watching Hatenkou Yugi, and I dropped Persona, thanks for reminding me about that one.

@ Telliamed: I don’t know what happened with me and Persona, I liked the first couple episodes but then I just sorta…stopped watching. No real reason, I just stopped, I might go back to it one day and marathon through the whole thing though, possibly next season since you’re calling for it to be pretty tame.

@ Avisch: I love the Kaiji OST, I can listen to some of those ZAWA ZAWA tracks for hours on end.

Akagi is awesome even without knowing mahjong, as I was through my first watch, it then inspired me to learn mahjong, I came back with an understanding of the game and the awesomeness was amplified tenfold.

Ep 7 was apparently too fanservicey, which interests me since they had no qualms about showing Horo naked for essentially the entirety of the first two episodes.

SZSZ needs moar subs, a.f.k. where are you?!

We’re all lower than pandas ;_;

I also need to watch Okawari. I’m slow on downloading though.

I’ve been keeping up with Kaiji since episode 13-14. And I’m loving the current game. I really love the emotional aspects of Kaiji, and how Kaiji despite being confused is able to find ways to cope with the gambles. and I love the music (the OP is the best 50 seconds to begin an anime). So yeah I find Kaiji great.

I also decided to watch a bit of Akagi now that I’m into Fukomoto’s work. But Akagi is alot harder for me to understand (I have no Mahjong experience). I think both are awesome in perspective ways (as you said). I guess I prefer Kaiji because of it’s more insane games (though Akagi himself …is quite insane).

Been keeping up with Spice and Wolf (though I like calling it by it’s traditional title Okami to Koushinryou). I wonder what episode 7 has…if it’s DVD only. The econmic part is not “yay! exciting” to me. But I don’t hate it. Spice and Wolf is really fun.

Keeping up with Shigofumi. I love the music of this aswell.
Can’t find subs. So I just watch the raw and read summaries. And yeah episodes 5 and 6 could have been done wayyyy better.

Definitely keeping up Zoku Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei. Though only with subs (you can’t really enjoy this series without understanding whats going on). and episode 4 gives me another reason to say: “GO SHAFT”

Sort of Keeping up with Kimiaru. Mainly just watching the raw.
Episode 7 was alright (Shinra+pandas=

KimiAru is actually a reference anime, but they’re so hardcore not many people are catching even a fraction of them. (Or so I’ve been told.)

I was looking at the Spring lineup and it doesn’t look like there’s many shows to improve on the current fare. All the good stuff seems to be set for summer & fall. Looks like it’ll be a year for catching up on old shows you haven’t seen yet.

Kaiji: the best logic i have ever seen was in ep 15 “When i fiddle with his broken leg, he’s in pain. But it does not hurt me at all. Nor it does hurt you, Kaiji.” Can someone say this is not true? LOL omoshiroi!!!

Kimikiss ~pure rouge~: At least, we are on pair with this one. how do u like ep 19? I think Yumi did an amazing job there.

Minami-ke Okawari: haven’t touch it yet.

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei Zoku: haven’t finished season 1 yet.

Shigofumi: LOL, let see what are we going to see next.

Shion No Ou: Oh ya, i was right about Satoru wasn’t the murderer. Now Ayumi is a male but you don’t need a hair-cut :(

Shugo Chara: a reason? spice and cool, enough?

Spice and Wolf: yeah there is a spice and a wolf, and whats next?

They Are My Noble Masters: Did you just talk about Hentai?

—————————————————————

No Hatenkou Yuugi and Persona?
Dropped Gundam 00 since ep 1? I think you need to see episode 18 of gundam 00 and to see Neena(voiced by Rie Kugimiya, Shana’s voice) gone berserker.

Thank goodness; I thought I was the only one rooting for Asuka-chan. ;_;

No, I haven’t forgotten about Magical Girl Kyou, Dan the Man or the entirety of “Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.” But here’s the thing: I grew up with Looney Tunes, some of Disney’s greater cartoons (i.e. “Darkwing Duck,” “The Schnookums And Meat Funny Cartoon Show”), and “Animaniacs.” I like my comedy hard and fast. So for one who loves series like “Cromartie High School,” “Excel Saga,” “The Wallflower,” “Gyagu Manga Biyori” and “Ninin Shinobuden,” this season has been a bit dry. I’ve often found myself with the urge to shout, “Stop angsting and start dropping anvils (or wash basins) on each other’s heads!”

Here’s what I’d like to see between now and the end of the season:

* Futami (K:PR) gets the hiccups, and they won’t go away.
* “Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei” needs moar subs. No exceptions.
* An entire episode of “Shugo Chara” where Tadase is stuck in “Prince” mode. (Alternately, an entire episode of “Shugo Chara” where Amu is stuck in a chara change mode.)
* “Wolf and Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!”
* At the risk of losing my “human male” status… “They Are My Noble Masters” needs less fanservice and more gags.
* 100x more so for “Rosario x Vampire.”
* “Bamboo Blade” is a strong contender for the season’s funniest anime. If either Kirino, Saya, Tama or Satorin were to develop a crush on Dan the Man, that would probably cinch it. >8D
