I'd think it'll have to proceed at least into Christmas if we are not just going to give up on Maria-san. Given the same pace, my gosh, that's like another 400 chapters  A lot of manga and comics suffer from "time dilation". Girl Genius has been released at a rate of three pages per week over the last five years, and they've only progressed two months in the story. With Hayate, it doesn't help that they keep revisiting old events (like with the Greece visit) to flesh things out some more. Not that that's a bad thing, but it sure hinders the progression of time. You can't hate Nagi! Sure she's a spoiled tsundere hikikomori, but if it weren't for her, probably half of the references they make would never see the light of day. Plus I really like her hat.+ Show Spoiler [For instance] + ![[image loading]](http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/5438/v21010.jpg) I wouldn't be opposed to an Izumi pairing, but yeah, it's never gonna happen. Now that I think about it, all the superintendent stuff in the anime was filler? I never realized... Random unrelated thought: Why are VNs so huge? I mean, it's just a bunch of text, images, and maybe a CD's worth of BGM, but this doesn't explain the 2GB file sizes. They also use a surprising amount of processor power. Edit: For Elfen Lied, I liked the manga a bit more than the anime. But then things got really weird in the manga. And the ending was disappointing since it was just like "everything worked out and everyone lived happily ever after". =/ I did like the ambiguity over whether the diclonius were monsters or if people made them into monsters by mistreating them, but overall, it's not something I'd go out of my way to read/watch again. Speaking of which, I feel like watching Gunbuster again. As for the current anime season, everything's at episode 8-ish, so 4-5 weeks? | ||

Time dilation is fine if they don't set future events a good distance off, when they do you just wonder how the hell things will ever proceed up to that point. Nagi annoys me just by being a tsundere, since we just have superior ones in the same series. Overlapping of characters is taboo!  Wasn't like 90% of season 1 just random filler-esque material, lol. | ||

On the other hand, I felt like the manga kind of degenerated into a thriller-type plot later on, but eh, whatever. I still enjoyed it. Elfen Lied for me was a love-hate type thing. When I first read it/watched it I loved it. I thought it was a relatively deep emotionally compelling story with a whole shit ton of blood interspaced between the meaningful parts. I watched it again 2 weeks ago (Roughly 4-5 years later than the first time?) and I found neither to be really that good. The story was still there but the entire theme aggravated me like no other for some reason. Looks like my favorite will still be SELain for now. | ||

Nothing left as deep and painful impression as bokura ga ita when takeuchi is trying to take away nana D: That just rips jealousy into my heart, every time i read manga like that with that kind of theme it just burns me so hard Lied was pretty good, definately one of my top, i agree a lot that the first time round you watch it means a lot more and isn't as great re-watching | ||

SElain definately left a really strong impression on me but it didn't last that long, i guess cause it was so short. Watch it again :pSo I started Jigoku Shoujo and it seems to be the exact same plot over and over again (admittedly, I'm only on episode three, but still). Does the plot get more varied as the series goes on? And yeah, Elfen Lied isn't that great for a rewatch. I think it's because one of the reasons the show works is that it kinda shocks you so you don't notice a lot of the flaws. Once you know what is going to happen the show comes across as a lot more inane. Edit-- if you liked Elfen Lied I'd definitely check out Gunslinger Girl. I watched it recently on a whim and liked it a lot more than I thought I would, good stuff. | ||

I'm mostly watching random relaxing series, as the 3 series I'm currently following don't exactly fill up a lot of time in the week. Any more recommendations for comedy slice of life stuff? | ||

.If you don't find the story, characters, and presentation of Lain memorable, you need to watch it again. Jigoku Shoujo. The episodes are like Pokemon until episode 8 or something, but they're pretty much self-contained with no overlap. Then a story picks up around there, but still using a Pokemon format (i.e. each episode follows the same format). Second and third season still follows the same format for each episode, but the story feels more involved there when compared to the first season iirc. I'm still liking the Spring season. I honestly think that the noitamina shows saved this season, regardless of their ratings (at least Saraiya Goyou didn't get a good reception...). | ||

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Yeah, I've watched Haruhi, both seasons. Endless Eight lol >.< All in all, I've watched Haruhi, Hayate, Minami-Ke, Azumanga Daioh, K-ON!, and Lucky Star. As far as that genre goes. Oh and Toradora I guess. Thinking about watching School Rumble maybe. I'll check out Seitokai. Edit: On an unrelated note, I need to watch Gintama. | ||

Okawari and Okaeri weren't as good as the original, but still fairly entertaining. I'm also watching Azumanga Daioh right now, but it's not quite as enjoyable for me, not exactly sure why. Osaka is awesome though. I'll probably finish it. I'm mostly watching random relaxing series, as the 3 series I'm currently following don't exactly fill up a lot of time in the week. Any more recommendations for comedy slice of life stuff? Honey and Clover + Nodame Cantabile. Not straight comedy but they are sooooo good | ||

+ Show Spoiler + OH MAN tragic heroine win? Noooo toujou was so much of a better choice such a bittersweet ending it could have gone either way D: I can't get over why he pulled a nice boat and went with nishino thats so random, at least build up nishino as the main heroine then :< | ||
