=D Lately, I have discovered four wonderful anime series! ^__^
I love:
Read or Die TV
Make sure to watch the OAV first! I watched it all pretty fast ^^;; it was so wonderful. The first few episodes are okay, then it starts to pick up, especially around episode 11, and then after episode 13 the show is non-stop wonderful cliffhangery-ness. ^__^;
Onmyou Taisenki
I love this series, it's still coming out. I really like the characters and the plot, though the individual episodes are mostly only okay, I really enjoy it.
Tantei Gakuen Q [Detective Academy Q
Super brilliant! Soldats subbed the first 26, and now Shinsen-subs is working on it. Somewhat of a modern version of Detective Conan, but with 5 main characters instead of one ^^;;.
Detective Conan
A total classic. Anime-Conan and Kaze no Koi are working on it. In the US they released it as "Case Closed" (shudder) and changed all the character names and probably edited it horrible >.< . This series has been running for 10 years in Japan!! But each case is only one or two episodes, so it's pretty easy to watch it slowly. ^__^

 i watched (and read) Read or Die and it was....interesting, but kinda...weird. hahaha. XD and yeah, Conan is one of the longer running series. i have trouble keeping up with that series already. hehe. well, i just recently watched Blood+ and it was good.  Noein wasn't bad either, though the art is rather unique...not in the good way. But it made me go "I want more!" Well, the series is interesting if you can tolerate not-so-great art and um...sci-fi stuff? XD an underestimated series was Tide-Line Blue. it was fun while it lasted and i enjoyed it. of course, there is also Mai-Otome...but that is currently just all crack right now and I wonder if it will live up to it's predecessor, Mai-HiME. HiME was a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful series and one of my favorites. ;D And then...the ultimate series that rules my world: MONSTER. it is a freaking MUST WATCH! Very good, very suspenseful. the first few episodes are kind of slow, but then it picks up and you just can't stop watching. during this show, you are kept on your toes at all times, just wondering what's going to happen. ^_^ my current favorite show. |

XD eeee ~ I should watch Tride-Line Blue, I think a few other people mentioned that too. yeah, I loved Mai Hime but Mai Otome is just T__T .... bleh right now. -__-;;; Hoping it picks up.
XD I should totally watch Monster sometime, but it scares me... I read the manga so I know how scary and intense it can be ^^;; (also, I know the whole story so...) but yeah, wen I imagine them animating it, it scares me... that and 20th Century Boys (same author) are paranoia extraordinair XD I should watch it with someone else. ^^;;

I thought Fullmoon Wo Sagashite was good... It's so sad that it made me wanna cry sometimes. ;____;
Mahoraba is another good one, it's really cute~ It's about a boy's stay at an old fashioned japanese apartment and his adventures with his new friends/neighbors/roomates. It's also kind of like a love story thing...
Naruto was nice for awhile, but after it was dubbed and aired on Cartoon Network, this girl at school started dressing up like the characters. She once even started doing those hand symbols during newpaper; it was very creepy to see... She kind of ruined it for me. D:

naruto just really sucks for me. =/ it died around episode 30 or so...haha. hm...Kannade, are you referring to Fullmoon wo Sagashite? XD i skipped the first 30 episodes cuz it got too boring for me. I haven't seen the end to this day cuz...well...I'm not much of a shoujo person. XD So I didn't watch Mahoraba either. Ehehehe...but I will make exceptions if I hear they are extremely good.  Other commendable ones are Rozen Maiden, Gankutsuou, and Black Cat. Many of Gonzo's are my favorite...except for Last Exile and Final Fantasy. =/ Those just...totally...sucked. Last Exile was completely overrated. Peace Maker Kurogane was underrated. -_-;;; man. i just know so much anime it takes a while for me to remember which ones are the good ones and which ones are the bad ones.  my brain explodes every two steps i take. |

XD Yeah, Full Moon o Sagashite was lovely <3 *watched all of it* ^__^ Takuto is sooo cute! XD Yeah, it has some slow moments, but I really liked the general story and ending. ^__^
Mahoroba and Rozen Maiden I haven't seen yet =O ... I only saw two episodes of Gankutsuou ^^;; ... it ... was so.... strange. I have yet to watch the Black Cat anime, but I read a lot of the manga. ^__^ Yes, Last Exile was overrated. T__T It had some nice art (Yoshitoshi Abe??), but it felt like certain things were dramatized without actually being dramatic. T__T;;; ^^;; Final Fantasy? Like, Final Fantasy Unlimited? I never watched it... ^^;; I guess I never will XD hehehe.
Dyaoka, you MUST watch more Naruto!! Naruto goes up and down.... depending on whether or not they're animating fillers. T__T All the 'manga' episodes of the Naruto anime are good, but there's a lot of fillers and filler arcs that suck. It's the same as for One Piece... the Chuunin exam arc is really good, but the Sasuke arc (you'll know what I mean when you get there) is just fantastic, amazing, brilliant, bravo. XD . . . and I haven't read any more manga/watched anime past there. ^^;;;

Oh! One Piece was good! ;D I'm up with the current manga, but because the anime is in the Skypeia Arc, I'm not watching it until it's completed. (Yes, I'm picky)  Skypeia, Apis, Alabasta, and Long Island arcs were so...boring. And meaningless like they were just placed into the series so they would take up time and space. I liked the others though. They were really good. As for Naruto...I got as far as volume 13. And I just couldn't read anymore. I read part of the Sasuke arc, but since Sasuke is on my #1 Most Annoying Character Ever List, I got bored easily.  Naruto reminds me a bit of Dragon Ball Z. Bleach is kind of the same...but I haven't been paying attention to the Bleach anime, but more to the manga. Hehe. I liked Shaman King in the beginning stages, but now, it's just spiraling down to hell.  |

My apologies, I didn't realize the board had a default censor (I thought I had to designate censored words myself). It's all fixed now. Somehow, y'all don't seem like the type to spam curse words. visiblehowl Your friendly local board administrator |

I haven't watch Fullmoon T_T I can't watch animes because I have to buy it!!! And it's kinda hard to find anime vcds in my country!!!
I think Keroro Gunsou is good, it's so funny and I like the cute artwork of it! But for me Tenipuri's the best!!! XD

hahaha...you just reminded me, karuchan, in keroro gunsou, they did a spin off of Monster. XD johan, the freaky-typing detective, and grimmer became frogs!
.......right. that was completely off topic and uncalled for. *crawls into a corner*
