Trigun. It isn't bad. I guess I just had a bad experience with the only anime on TV seeming to be pokemon, yugioh and non-fighting eps of DBZ

I just finished the VoH anime and I don't know which series to start next.
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

Finished Azumanga Daioh recently and Vandread last night. Currently re-watching Lain (just got the boxset) and will probably get started on my GiTS: SAC fansubs next.

I couldn't stand that series so I dumped it after the fourth ep (>o.o<)
Hey Lain, can you do more than stare at people as if you were about to overdose? DIDN'T THINK SO

and will probably get started on my GiTS: SAC fansubs next.
Ghost in the Shell what? I saw the movie, wasn't what I was expecting. Art direction was completely different from what people were raving over when the franchise picked up popularity stateside (maybe it was a different movie or something)

You'd like Vandread. It's right up your alley.

Fair enough, it's a definite love/hate series.

Stand Alone Complex. It's supposed to be a lot more faithful to the manga than the film (the art direction looks quite different, from what I've seen, in the series). I honestly didn't care much for the film, either; I liked the atmosphere, loved the characters, and loved the setting, but I found the story rather dull. I've heard Stand Alone Complex is quite different from the movie and arguably superior.

It uses some bits of the manga.

But the basic premise, from what I gather, is that Section 9 in SAC never encounter the Puppetmaster.

Whether this is closer to what Shirow originally intended, I don't know (after all, his first attempt at Dominion turned into a completely different thing than intended)

Good, I never cared much for the Puppetmaster as a villain.

Recently, just finished Onegai Teacher and Full Metal Panic.

Seen a bit of Sonic X and Shaman King. They're pretty decent(Especially Shaman), but both are coming to Fox. I hope they don't screw it up. :roll:

Oh, I forgot. I recently finished watching the Witch Hunter Robin fansubs. A series I will be purchasing for sure when released stateside.

I've started watching Chobits and Noir. Unfortunately, I have to wait till the 20th of August before I can get my hands on the next DVDs.

I really wanted to like Noir, but I wish it would have taken itself a little less seriously.

Since I got broadband a little over a month and a half ago, I've gone nuts downloading.

I'm caught up now with Naruto and One Piece (42 and 53 episodes respectively), and have all the GitS: SAC that's been released (but I've only watched 3 episodes; I'm finishing the rest of 'em in the next couple days).
I need to stop putting off watching the rest of Haibane Renmei; I love the show, but I just can't seem to sit down and watch six episodes at a time for some reason.
I just downloaded and watched the first episodes of Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch and Nurse Witch Kogumi-chan, but I'm not sure if I'll continue with 'em...they seem a bit too mahou shoujo for me.

I've watched the first episode of Texhnolyze, and didn't really get into it. I'll try a couple more episodes, though.
I've downloaded all of Scrapped Princess, but haven't started it yet.
I also got all of Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu and half the Deluxe episodes, but haven't really started them yet.
I'm still trying to find episodes 31-35 of Gundam SEED; it's like all the torrent sites just stop at 25 and continue at 36 for some reason. I managed to get 26-30 and 32 from AJ before the tracker died.

I'm watching Onegai Twins as its released.

So true. An acquaintance of mine was one... She became really hostile to me after I insulted Kenshin and Techno music.

Ah well, at least its not as bad with the Naruto fangirl following... 1/3 of the fanficts at ff.net on that anime are Yaoi...

Go sign up on any anime forum, and you'll see a bunch of screennames like "Kenshinsgirl###" I kid you not.

Of course you will watch more Meraid Melody! Or I castrate you.

Pink Pearl Voice!
Aqua Pearl Voice!
Green Pearl Voice!

Kawaii little mermaid princesses in kawaii little dresses singing kawaii popsong making their evil, evil nemeses writhe in agony!

Encore?
In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that raze the mounds of humanity. Out of chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.

I watched the whole DNA² a few days ago and before that, Naruto.
I think I'll see Hellsing next. Or maybe Slayers.
