I haven't watched many anime series other than Bleach, Naruto and Ghost in the Shell, although I love those series very much. But what I can tell you is that you should watch Death Note. It's very mature and astoundingly interesting. I was so hooked from the first episode that I watched the whole series consisting of 37 episodes in one and a half day lol If you like mature teams, you should probably read Seinen. After all they deliver all these things missing in many Shounen - Sex, actual death counts in battles, any kind of actual (not those naive interpretations) of cruelity, torture, rape etc. Some even replace a huge amounts of characters from time to time by letting them actually die, something not to be seen in Naruto or Bleach at all. But it's a great thing for story developement to kill a group of really important characters imo. The surviving ones and mainly the protagonist often develop a lot after such events. Personally I'm not very interested in Shounen anymore and also lost interest into Naruto mainly, while I never began to like OP anyways and Bleach just sucked after the first story arc was over. So currently I'm still a huge fan of Berserk and just finished reading Vinland Saga up to the point where it currently is. Probably gonna continue with some other Seinen when I've time to do so, gonna take a look at Vagabond and Gantz. | ||

I'll shut up about the Nanoha Movie soon, but for now I want you to see the new, awesome Starlight Breaker. Of course, YouTube is stupid and blocks everything (as usual). So I decided to host it on one of my servers, for now. Perhaps I'll add another 2 snippets later (together with a complete movie review, if I have the time), but for now it's only the new Starlight Breaker. The video is in 720p, so stay away if you have low bandwith / caps. Link: + Show Spoiler + http://etucia.de/nanoha/index.html | ||

It's about a guy that kept on moving in his childhood and finally comes back to a town he lived in for 1 year. He meets old friends, and also siblings, who turn out to vampires. He befriends them, (I think) falls in love with the female vamp (and I think she's fallen for him too), and starts working for the student council. He organizes shit, competes, and generally just feels fulfilled, like he finally found a place he can call home =|. He's also dragged deeper and deeper into the vamp world, but nothing threatening or serious. He just learns more about them, is all. Nothing awe inspiring, nor anything to write home about, but it's IMO a nice change from the typical shounen battle animes. Really just a slice of life anime, with just a pinch of love and comedy/drama/srs bzns. | ||

Anime like Naruto also got me disinterested after a while , I prefer those like you mentioned here. I will definitely take a look at Seinen, haven't heard of it though. Manga is difficult to find here, so I stick to whatever shows I can watch on TV or download. But will most definitely check those out | ||

So that should not be a problem | ||

Last episode of Index was interesting....though I do have to say that Touma's ability to have every girl become attracted to him is...I don't know....for some reason it feels more comfortable than other Animes when the focus is exclusively on every girl's attraction to one guy. In other news....I'm gonna get started on Eureka Seven soon, though I really should check out Code Geass and Ghost in the Shell and finish up FMA: B. >.> Also:  Why not? K-ON music was the stupidest shit I have ever heard..but it was so entertaining. | ||

I actually like most K-On music, except for the season 2 openings. Some of the songs where Yui sings are... not as good as the others, but even there are exceptions (U&I for example). "Tenshi ni fureta yo!" and "No, thank you!" are still the best HTT songs though. | ||

Hahaha, I didn't say that the music is bad. I loved the songs. That's why I play them when I stream BW. I'm just saying the lyrics are just stupid as hell.  Also, don't forget "Don't Say Lazy" | ||

But that's expected of Mio and the others. :D They even adapted her "poem" into a song. | ||

The main route is translated, as are 3 of the routes. It'll probably be another year and a half before everything gets fully translated. At least it's going faster than the Fate H/A translation.

Its anime/manga aimed at men, rather than Shounen (which is aimed at boys) or Shoujo (which is aimed at girls). | ||
