Watching Kare Kano at the moment. Only on Ep 8, but it just makes me wonder why more romance animes aren't like it. The animation/art is subpar, but I can't help but love the characters so far oo;

So far it's definitely a level up from stuff like Clannad/Toradora

Has Bakemonogatari finished yet, or are we still waiting for one more?

EDIT
Also, are there any groups subbing the DVD releases of it? I heard it's worth checking them out to see the eps in finished form.
/EDIT


What sub group are you using (if you're watching a fansub)?

I tried to find that a while back, and could only find one subbed version that had horrible timing and had half of what was being said not translated. I was missing half of what was being said and all the words that flew up on the screen...):

I thought most parents don't accept their kids watching anime.

PH, I'm using [LIME] from bakabt

it's like they fired the animators after episode 18 though because episode 19 took a huge, huge nosedive in animation quality ;_;

The winter season is about coming to a close now, no?

Anything interesting and worth checking out?


Thanks!

It's like... Each country is personified in a person... It's a comedy. :/ Just watch it.


Depends on what you like. My recommendations:
Nodome Cantabile Finale (Watch the previous two seasons too!)
Hidamari Sketch (If you like that kind of stuff)
Durarara!!! - FUCK YEAH
Sora no woto - Hellz yeah. Character designs may look familiar, but don't worry
Katanagatari - Well, it won't be done for a while

And if you haven't watched the shows still airing from Autumn, do watch them. They're all damn good ^_^

Eureka 7 is one of the most enraging animes I have ever watched. Every single character is amazingly annoying except Renton's grandpa.

Everything is wrong with that. Anime is a solitary experience with grown men in their rooms huddled away for hours on end every single night. You're breaking the rule. Same deal with games. C'mon man.

And I finally got around to looking at the spring chart ;o.
Watch
Senko no Night Raid - A-1 is a pretty good animation studio. Plus, no source material, so I expect GREAT things (hopefully).
Iron Man - When you give Madhouse free license to interpret Iron Man any way they freaking want, good things are bound to happen. I expect something interesting to come out of this.
Rainbow - Art and storyline has got to be one of the most appealing things I've seen in a long while. Wow.
Sarai-ya Goyou - The staff for this one looks sooo good. Plus it's MANGLOBE!!!
Angel Beats! - Where is KyoAni or Toei? PA Works? Sounds just as good ^_^. CANAAN had seriously top notch animation, and I expected no less here.
Hetalia - I don't need to say anything.
xxxHolic Rou - No explanation needed.
Eden of the East II - Paradise Lost- See above description
Trigun Badlands Rumble - See above description.
King of Thorn - 6 Volumes in 100 minutes? SOLD! Round and round the roulette goes, what will be cut out no body knows!

Interested
Yojo-han Shinwa Taikei - The description has me intrigued. I haven't seen too much of Yuasa's work, but it's Madhouse, so I'm going to keep an eye on this.
Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou - ... I'm listening Mr. Director of Boogiepop Phantom and Mr. Storyboard of Death Note. I have a feeling that this will turn out to be like Shakugan no Shana given its premise :/
Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru - I sense potential. Both for a good story and also for yaoi. I'll see how this turns out...
Black Rock Shooter - Lol. Wat. *_*
Armored Trooper Votoms - Phantom Arc - 26 years after the original aired? I'm interested.
Tales of Symphonia - Tethealla-hen - ^_^ Four episodes won't be enough, but eh, whatever.
Break Blade - Premise sounds lame, but it's Kara no Kyoukai style, so I'm interested.
Bungaku Shoujo - What. WTF @ the premise.

For Break Blade and Bungaku Shoujo, refer to like 10 pages back when bearbuddy and I started talking about the two. Depending on your tastes, it'll go from average to freaking awesome. Break Blade will be a bit weary for those not into mecha in any way though. Bungaku Shoujo is just quickly climbing up on my list of favorite light novels ever. Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi's rankings might be kind of screwed up, but you don't see a non-moe female character up there at the top (2008) for no reason, Touko-senpai is amazing.

Spring season will probably have me end up just checking seiyuus and going from that, doubt I'll be watching all that much until a while in.

I can't appreciate Renton's ultra-righteous holy paladin remarks as much as others I guess. Kid enraged me. Renton makes holy paladin remark, Holland slaps Renton, Renton cries for the next episode and runs away...

Two of the three 'main' characters were fucking enraging. Holland and Renton never grew up until like the last episode -_-

also Eureka's stupid kids were annoying as fuck as well.

Well, I suppose it'll all come down to actually watching the Spring season then. Unfortunately the only one that just jumps out at me this season is Angel Beats, as compared to multiple ones for previous seasons :/. Well, I await the new season!
