And I thought anime was dead

Watch TMOHS today,Haruhi explains why she is like that and heavy dialogue between Itsuki and Kyon,mostly Istuki did the most talking and little naration from Kyon.
This is kinda of sad since next week is the last episode.Hope they have a second season for it.This show is way too popular to be abandon.

Interesting note: it has been reported that the author himself (Nagaru Tanigawa) was the one who suggested the shuffling of the anime episodes order, starting with Asahina Mikura's Adventure and ending it with the first novel story.

Other anime series I'm looking forward to picking up after TMOHS is over:

Strawberry Panic - Yuri anime FTW. Things seem to be heating up now as kisses are exchanged and the relationships between the girls are examined in more detail. w00t.

Ouran High School Host Club - Everybody says it's awesome, like a Fruit Basket-lite anime. I'll definitely check it out soon.

Utawarerumono - Wolf (dog?) girl looks cute. Next on my to-watch list.

Higurashi - Still watching but the latest arc is terribly confusing. Hopefully Oyashiro-sama won't curse the next arc into confusion.

Honey and Clover 2 - Probably one of the most anticipated sequel of the summer. I want to see if any of the prior relationships brought up in the first season will be resolved.

NHK ni Youkoso - A dark comedy of a young man suffering from hikkimorri. The anime character designs don't look very similar to the manga counterpart, plus it's being produced by Gonzo. Still curious to see how it turns out.

Tsuyokiss - At first I was turned off by the premise that all the characters are 'tsundere' but one anime blog said that the Hgame is actually quite good in terms of story and character. Hopefully the scenario writers for the show will do justice to the game, but seeing how they transformed one of the main heroines into a lolicon-ish character in the anime is giving me doubts. Still looking forward to it.

Backlog anime to watch:

Magical Lyrical Nanoha A's - one of the best mahou shoujo series of 2005. Plus Fate is the yum. :9

Magikano - Saw some summaries, thought they look good. Will give it a shot.

Karin - Likewise, I was redirected to a blog with the summaries and it seems to have a healthy dose of comedy and drama. Hopefully it won't suck as Tsuyukomi -Moon Phase-, another vampire anime series that I found to be lacklustre.

Air - It was produced by Kyoto Animation. What more can I say?

Giant robots with emo kid pilots are the alternative

You can try Raimuiro Senkitan

Never watched it, but it doesn't have lolis AFAIK.

Weeeeee~, I finally have my DVD-RW drive, so I'll be able to backup all the stuff I downloaded ^_^

Beware of Karin. I thought it would be decent after the start but it just got progressively more annoying and less funny. And Karin's voice is... too unique. When she yells it sounds like feline rape.

PS Yes Ouran Host Club is funny. It makes me laugh more than Haruhi anyway.

PLEASE NO!

4chan retards gives it too much hype than it deserves.

What's that thing? :0

Worst anime ever and poorest excuse for a forced meme, idiots on 4chan have an unhealthy obsession over it.
Have some view on youtube before ever thinking about /dling it.

... I think I'll pass. I'd rather keep on waiting for Demonbane 3 and 4.

Fuck Yesy, why haven't they subbed those eps? ;__; The raws have been available for some time.

I'm finally up to date on Haruhi (I'm waaaay behind on everything). Any other shows worth watching?

Sheba · Post by **Sheba** » Fri Jun 30, 2006 01:39

Utawaremono if you are into fantasy.
Higurashi if you are into mystery and mindfuck.

Anime? What's that?

Hahah... I haven't seen any anime in a long time. I think the last movie I saw was Appleseed and that must have been a year ago. I did end up buying the Silent Moebius DVD collection, but it still sits unopened on my shelf. And here I am, wanting to get the Platinum Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD set.

I saw a preview for the upcoming Hellsing OVA... I think that's the only one I'm itching to see.
