Good to hear. Was wondering where you've been all this while.

Yeah, mostly comedy coming from the Yano & Yoshida duo alongside Pin. But yeah, it's mostly drama, some bits of comedy and some shoujo elements. All of them seem well done to me.

Sports anime are good with me; I digged Slam Dunk when I watched it a few years back. Maybe I'll give Cross Game a check later on for sure. That and Okiku Furikabutte/Big Windup as well.

Naruto fillers are on a tier of their own, though. They're like, the king of terrible fillers.

Oh I forgot to mention that I watch Kobato too,even with the CLAMP noodle people it's not bad.
I see. Also, yeah, I'm watching Kobato as well lol. Kind of like a feel-good series with some drama sprinkled in between. I like Kobato's eagerness to help out in any situation.

Unfortunately, there's none yet. However, the 1st series did get licensed recently by Media Blasters.

Gundam Unicorn is very pretty, and I dig the retro character designs, but I'm not sure about the plot so far. The protagonist is likable, if a bit needy. I am curious to learn about everybody's motivations.

It is well done and that's why i'm still watching it.Hopefully Ryu gets lucky in this current arc because Chizu got pwnt.

It's a good show i'm sure you'd like it.I've heard of the other show too but nobody subbed it.

She kind of reminds me of Akari from Aria only a bit more denser.I'm curious as to where she wants to go and what her past is though.

I was very confused after watching the first episode of Unicorn and had to google the story and ended up finding out what happened in the novels :x I hope that doesn't mean the OVA is now spoiled for me hahaha

I might have to watch it again to understand all the different factions because atm it just seems like a big epic cluster fck

Evident by what happened in the recent episode, it doesn't seem he's got his lucky break yet.

Yeah, they'll probably talk about it soon enough. One thing's for sure, that her child-like naivety definitely makes her sound as if she was "reincarnated" in this world. That or she probably lost her memories.

Yeah,Ryu blew his chance but that's his personality.He'll redeem himself soon enough....I hope.

Well they better,it's going to end soon!Iorogi said he wouldn't be able to stay with Kobato after spring so it definitely feels like it's winding down.

I barely keep up with anime these days.. even though there are a few anime & scifi cons happening soon.
Just my interest has wavered after sometime. Although I would like to get back into the rhythm again.
Someday maybe

So I just got done finishing the latest episode of One Piece yesterday. I don't have anywhere near enough time to read this whole thread. Any chance there's someone prepared to lynch me for my love of rubbery pirate superheros?

I recommend Zettai Karen Children. I enjoyed it the most of the shows I watched during my break from SNK stuff.

Does Tomino have any involvement in the novels or the anime at all?

I.... Loathed the anime of it. It messes up the authors sense of humor and pacing, and the seriousness of the unseriousness. The manga was much more pleasurable... Then again I'm a sucker for Takeshi Shiina stuff.

I thought the anime was pretty good once it got going. Just took about 3-4 eps to start getting good. I'm a sucker for his stuff also so I gave it more room then I'd give most series.
