I am highly dissatisfied. I cannot find the second half of D. Grayman anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?

It's really weird, but it turned out to be a good show. I enjoyed it a ton. I need to find the last few episodes somewhere, because it doesn't look like Hulu is going to get any more of it, which is a huge shame.

Finally finished Toradora! Gosh, I think I started it last summer? It took me so long because I was busy, though, not because I didn't like it! I ended up really loving it. I had heard that some people didn't like the ending, so I was prepared for disappointment, but . .

[spoiler] I thought the ending was quite realistic, actually. Taiga and Ryuji were still in high school, after all, so them having to be apart for a year didn't seem like a big tragedy to me, especially since the ending made it clear that they did stay together. Now, if they'd ended up breaking up and living their lives apart forever, THAT would have disappointed me! [/spoiler]

I'd give this series 9/10, or maybe 9.5/10, just because I'm really picky about what I give a 10.

Started watching Cowboy Bebop now that AS has put it in a reasonably accessible time slot for me. So I'm enjoying that.

Out of this season I'm following:
My Little Monster.
Magi.

Watched 08th MS Team: Miller's Report, which pulled bits and pieces from the first eight episodes (but mostly the last few). It wasn't quite as exciting as I thought, nor did it have as many big new revelations as I had been led to believe it did. Which wasn't a whole lot anyway, after I found out it was a recap/clip show movie. The new scenes didn't have much in the way of action, just a couple tense moments used to extract [s]the next clip[/s] a flashback from the characters. If I ever go back to 08th after I'm done here, I'm'a just skip over this one; it isn't quite worth it.

I've been burning through episodes of Glass Mask. The first couple of episodes were weird and uncomfortable, but it's gotten to be extremely enjoyable and difficult to stop.

I figured as much. It's pretty clear from the beginning of episode 3. What I meant by "main story" is [spoiler]well we've seen the "end" now so let's find out how the characters got there.[/spoiler]

Just got through the first 15 episodes of Full Moon wo Sagashite. I'm really digging this show.

Enjoying Kimi ni Todoke when I have time for something other than currently airing shows. I'm not really sure why; I just felt like watching a shoujo romance. (Shouldn't I be watching horror or something for Halloween? I must subconsciously fear romantic plots. XD) Oh well, it's sweet to watch a story about two nice people falling in love.

And I love the opening and ending. :)

Watching Darker than Black. I made it into the second season and it's all "what the heck is going on?" all over again (just like the beginning of the first season). I'm not sure whether I like that or not.

^if you don't want to be totally confused through the whole second season, watch Gaiden first. They aired it after season two, but it's chronologically between seasons. There's no real point to watching season two before that...

I've been a bit slow on my anime-watching lately, but so far, I'm on episode 24 of Galaxy Railways. The characters are very well developed, (which isn't suprising for Leji Matsumo), but trains in space....

Ah. Thanks for the info. I was unaware of the OVAs.

Might it just be that they wanted to recreate the feeling that the first season had (an unknown history about Hei and who was on what side, etc)? I mean, I figured that eventually I would get to find out about the interim period, but is some of the suspense mitigated by watching Gaiden first? If so, I'm not sure I want to go that route. What do you think?

Well, I've officially stopped watching Naruto. I've realized the show is never going to end, and besides the way my schedule works, I need to give up something. So, Naruto is the something I'm giving up.

Whoa. That's major. I'm highly impressed.

Ef - a tale of memories eps 1-4- Well.... It's visually interesting. Unsure of how I feel story-wise, though.

I've heard great things about the series, so I am a little surprised by how indifferent I am towards it. I think I'll have to check out the VN after I'm done.

Five Star Stories.

Normally when I watch bad 80's OVA's I put them in the "bad, unintentionally hilarious" category (Good Examples would be: MD Geist and Angel Cop)
but...BUT

THIS

AWFUL

THING


I would put it in the "MAKE THE MEMORIES GO AWAY GAAHHHH" along with Psychic Wars (May God have mercy on your soul if you ever encounter it) and Dog Soldier: Shadows of the Past (Quite possibly the Worst. Anime. Ever. Made.) and Roots;Search

I've just started Hell Girl, and I think I'm in for a treat. I can tell that it's going to be ripe for theological themes that can be applied to Christian life.

Don't let the truth set you free, send your soul to hell in exchange for a short, peaceful (yeah right) life on earth.

Witch Hunter Robin is also heating up. My Mom and I are on episode 19 and it's been an excellent series thus far!
