Reading the premise, about the book that can kill those whose name is written in it, I figured it would be about a person who finds this notebook and very slowly and carefully decends into madness.
Well, I'm 20 minutes in and he's already insane, wants to promote himself to god-status and has killed hundreds of people. Let's see what the future brings...
Get ready for a good first half and a meh second half.
It got a bit over the top in the last (?) episode, basically everyone crying their eyes out at the same time was... well, I didn't like that very much, haha. I still liked the concept of the show though.
Started watching Arakawa under the Bridge. I guess this'll do for keeping me alive until new years when we get Neko kuro
It's generally decent, though some part are just weird for weird sake Sakamoto was superb as always.

Lol, Sakamoto was the reason I started watching it. Current fav seiyuu.
Sakamoto is so great / professional it's hard to relate to (sorta like Gackt). While I acknowledge her superior existence, she doesn't really rank well in my personal favorite.

I guess that I'll have to add that I don't really keep track of that many, I have like 5-10 that I easily recognize at this point. So my favorite isn't going to be highly scientificly chosen or from a huge sample.

Pretty sure I mentioned this once or twice on irc.
Edit: For the next movie night, I was planning on streaming The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. It's tentatively scheduled to be on Friday, Dec. 14, at 5pm/2pm 8pm/5pm EST/PST as a sort of after exams, celebratory, movie!
Royal Heart Breaker compilation. Pilot combinations: Folka and Fernando (SRW), Domon and Master Asia (G Gundam), Ryoma and Hayato (Getter Robo), Kamina and Simon (Gurren Lagann), and Touga and Eiji (Gravion)
Mecha anime written by Urobuchi Gen, directed by a guy who is has only directed the most recent FMA movie (and was assistant director of Code Geass). Not sure if want.

I tend to like Urobuchi's stuff, so I guess I'm on the "want" side. Don't know too much about the director (I haven't watched the Milos FMA movie since I haven't heard very many good things about it, not sure if it's a director or plot issue though), or how much a not so good director can ruin stuff. I have to say that I kinda like the ships for some reason though:

Maybe I just like the concept of floating "cities" :p
Urobuchi's stuff all tends to be the same thing. Its gonna be DERK and MUTURE like MADUKA. Also, the Director is the guy who is more or less in charge for making the entire anime, so its pretty much the most important role.
Any news on the next season of Kuroko no Basket? Only good sport anime I've seen this year (and what a great one ...) and I'd really like to see the rest ... :s
