About 20th century boys LA... I don't think I'll like it, it's just so perfect as a manga to me Oh and is Maruo's character design based on the actor playing him or something?! Also, anyone know anything about the *Gasp* (I think) upcoming hollywood version of urasawa's Monster? >__>; |

I don't think I'll like it either, because everything is so perfect in the manga... But on the other hand, the announcement, that it will be a trilogy, and not only a single movie makes me hope that it will be at least entertaining for us manga fans

Death Note is pretty good so far - on episode four. It's addicting.

ahhh the first episode of xxxHOLiC's second season looks very promising. I'm excited!
Also started the Lovely Complex anime (read 4 volumes of the manga already) which also looks very good so far. FUCKIN DROPPED Honey & Clover at 18 episodes because it had just gotten to be too much. If there are any fans here we can debate over its faults/merits but if there aren't I'll just leave it at that. XD Does anyone else have a Myanimelist profile? Mine is here and let's be friends. It's like half the reason I've watched more anime in the past week than I have all year. So satisfying to my OCD-ness to update with each new episode watched! |

Ok, I just spent the last hour or more assembling my list, here you go:
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/golem09 It should cover up 98% of the animes I watched Best thing I watched from 2007 is still Baccano!, everyone should watch it. Such brilliant characters and plot And I just found "Seirei no Moribito", looks very promising

Well, okay, since you asked for it Shinji, I'll give my H&C rant...
Honey & Clover is boring. First off. Its characters are boring, the story moves along SUPER slowly ("slice of life" = "zero plot" I guess), and I'm just not interested in any of it. The only episodes I liked were the ones about Mayama's architecture job and Yamada helping out with making the pots etc. EVERY OTHER EPISODE was a struggle to get through. It's all so overblown and super-dramatic and meaningless. Second, I hate most of the characters. - I don't like Hagu, and her annoying squeaky voice and timid personality. Also how she looks like a LITTLE GIRL and two guys in the show immediately fall in love with that. wtf!!! - I don't like Morita, and his only existing for "comic relief" and to be part of some BORING AS ALL HELL love triangle that's not going ANYWHERE. When he finally graduated, only to come back, that was when I decided I was going to stop watching, because THAT IS SO STUPID. LET HIM GRADUATE. - I don't like Takemoto, and his ultra-passive crush on Hagu. IF YOU LIKE SOMEONE, DON'T SIT AROUND FOR 2+ YEARS DOING NOTHING, AND WHINING ABOUT HOW SHE MIGHT LIKE SOME OTHER GUY BETTER. Either tell her how you feel, or just move on!!! Godddd what a whiny pathetic baby. EVERY episode it's "ohhh, Hagu might like Morita, what'll Iiiiii doooooo! sniff sniff sniff." And again with the about to graduate, then you decide to WASTE MONEY staying in school longer because you're still too scared to face the real world. Ugh, what a totally useless character. - I'm also not a big fan of Mayama still being stuck on that older women. People in this show apparently fixate on one person, and then just never GROW AND CHANGE and get over that crush when it's apparent it's not going to work out. That isn't really a good depiction of healthy attachments/relationships. If you like someone, and it's not working, you move on and eventually find someone else. In this show, CRUSHES LAST FOREVER OMG, even when they're going absolutely nowhere and it's ridiculous to keep clinging to them. And the show brings them up and harps on them over and over and over and over. IT GETS OLD!!! And I ALSO don't think this show reflects my life sooooo much, like omg I'M going through the saaaame problemmssss with graduating and finding a job and omg I can just relate sooooo much. (I saw this in the good reviews of it all the time.) Why watch a show that's essentially you fancying it to be about yourself and getting off on how much you "relate"? That's lame. I guess I hate the "slice of life" genre. (Now true, I enjoy relating to characters in a series, but not to the entire series itself. And these characters, to me, are not even relatable. I don't agree with their choices at all.) It's sad, because I love Ferris wheels, bicycles, and the music of Suga Shikao and Spitz. I should have liked this show. But, I didn't. Sorry Shinji, but you asked for it. XD |

Lovely Complex seems okay so far. On the other hand, Death Note is totally awesome, and it has to be one of the best animes I've ever seen.
