Are there any other Rurouni Kenshin fans present?

Oh man... that was an awesome show. I should start to watch it again.

 

Picked up Gundam-Wing, Endless Waltz. One of my favorite Gundam movies :thumbup:

 

Gundam Wing was the only Gundam series I liked. As for the movie, I love it in multiple ways because it was so well done.

 

I love Rurouni Kenshin also, but haven't seen it in years. There was some quality to it that made it special compared to other Edo-era story manga/anime. Speaking of, anyone liked Samurai Champloo?

I've recently begun reading Gunslinger Girl at an age-old recommendation I just remembered.

 

It's heartbreaking. :(

 

I feel a disappointing sense that it's wasted on its own crowd. Beneath a premise that seems somewhat creepy when scrutinized with the wrong mindset, and probably a fanbase that would still seem just as creepy to a blind man, just a little ways into the series I find it about as moving as Puella Magi.

 

Good action, tragic and vaguely psychotic kick-ass heroines, and good dynamics between the characters. Why so many such manga series end up with a creepy image?

Alright, after not watching anime for 10 weeks I'm finally caught up and in the winter 2012 season. Unfortunately, the only show I watching this season is Amagami SS+, and the ongoing shows Beelzebub and Mirai Nikki. Hopefully I'll get something interesting in the spring.

Im watching Another and Kill Me Baby from this season, and Mirai Nikki and Hunter X Hunter from the last.

 

Another is looking pretty good so far, shame I got the ending spoiled.

 

Kill me baby is like a sillier Nichijou with one tenth the budget.

Nothing really new to watch this season. Mirai Nikki and Persona 4 are continuing and I'm watching Nisemonogatari & Black Rock Shooter which are both sequels really (BRS sort of ish).

 

Does anyone know when that new Code Geass is due out?

Mildly good job. Would be much better if Soul Calibur allowed more flexibility for faces in the character creator.

 

Also, I did not know SC5 was out. MUST HAVE.

I think I've given up with anime. Nothing is tickling my fancy and it doesn't meet my high expectations.

 

Still read manga and doujins though, much more satisfying and a larger variety.

... So, any suggestions for manga? :D

 

I've been running out of good webcomics, and that seems the next best thing.

I saw The Borrowers Arrietty/The Secret World of Arrietty. It was a good movie, but I could tell from the trailer that Disney has localized it to hell.

 

Spirited Away continues to be my favorite Studio Ghibli film.

I'm wanting to go watch the dub version, then go home and compare it to the subbed.

 

The only thing is I don't know when I'll have the time to do so.

Agreed.

Asura's Wrath is so awesome that it is actually 18 18.3 anime-structured episodes of pure epic disguised as a $60 video game.

Watched the full 2nd season of Code Geass over the past two days.

 

I found the overall plot of the first season to be much stronger. The second's ending was far too awesome though.

 

 

I got the complete series of Kaze no Stigma for Christmas. Been meaning to watch it, how good is it?

Just finished Bakemonogatari, and started watching Nisemonogatari.

 

COURAGE is to be a weeaboo!

COURAGE is to neglect my work schedule!

COURAGE is to watch anime when I should be sleeping!

Also watching A Certain Magical Index, followed by A Certain Scientific Railgun.

 

It's actiony stuff all the way, but pretty cool regardless. Biribiri is my favourite character thus far... Though I can't recall what her actual name is supposed to be.

Finished Code Geass R2 this morning, and the one thing I ask myself is "Why had I not watched it sooner?"

 

I loved it. Although I knew the ending since I had seen it on Adult Swim a couple years ago.

To Aru Kagaku No Railgun is not nearly as interesting as the origin series. Kuroko is grating after the fanservice-light To Aru Majutsu No Index, and though I like Misaka, she doesn't merit her own show.

 

But the car-flip scene is one of my favourite bits of anything ever.

 

That aside, I have come to the conclusion that near every anime has had a Hetalia parody done of it. For example:
