Your Blue Seed reminded me of Blue Submarine No. 6 which I have to add to my list. Sort of like The Island of Dr. Moreau but with sea creatures.

I enjoyed what I read of the Gantz manga but then had trouble finding more of it. Just read the author's previous series Zero One about a virtual fighting game. Twas good but ended too soon.

Just finished watching the first season and first movie of Cardcaptor Sakura. I think the show is starting to pick up a bit which is cool. Most of the episodes in the beginning were kinda repetitive but once Sakura started getting more magical powers you start to notice things change a little bit. Hopefully the rest of the show is good. Going through another 35 episodes isn't exactly time consuming.

Also I saw Yotsuba&! at the bookstore yesterday and I want to read it but I doubt it'll be as funny as Azumanga Daioh since it seems more for kids, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any opinions on it?

What!? It happened!? Didn't know it was out yet, haven't done my daily cruise for new stuff yet. I'll rectify that mistake immediately.

Streaming, but it's there.

Thanks, but I'm getting it from Eclipse now.

I think I've finally nailed down my list of shows for the season. Pretty impressed by the [comparatively] low number of terrible shows this spring. I've got:

Arakawa Under the Bridge
Kiss x Sis
B Gata H Kei
Hakuouki
Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
Senkou no Night Raid

I've only seen the first episode of Arakawa so far, but I think it will easily be the best show of the season. It's very similar to Bakemonogatari, which I loved. It is also produced by Shaft, and their craziness appeals to me.

I've slowed down a lot with the Cardcaptor Sakura, but I do want to finish it, there's a lot of things I want to catch up on or start watching.

This last season is...interesting to say the least. The beginning seems a tad convoluted to me, but it's starting to clear up bit by bit.

Just finished watching this random movie I found on an anime tracker I'm a member of called 5 Centimeters Per Second.

It's a pretty good romance anime (I guess you could call it a) film. It wasn't amazing, but it definitely wasn't a waste of time either. It's split into two or three episodes, and the ending is a little unexpected. Give it a shot, you might be surprised.

A friend and I saw that movie. It was stunning visually but it was pretty boring in the second and third parts.

Hmm, so I started watching Seto No Hanayome tonight. So far I'm really enjoying it. It's not exactly what you'd call good, from a lot of different standpoints. It's not exactly deep, probably more cliche than would be normal, and pretty silly. But it's the silliness that I find myself enjoying. It's not "good", per se, but it is fun, and sometimes that's all I'm looking for.

I downloaded the Bebop movie in HD yesterday, can't wait to watch that again, it's been a while). On this last leg of Cardcaptor Sakura, although I'm not entirely sure of what I'm gonna watch immediately after. I was totally down for Haruhi but I'm waiting for Geo to come down for that.

I might just try and finish Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. I still have yet to finish it if you can believe it.

uber_paddler · 04-18-2010, 02:58 AM

Well, if you need suggestions, I cannot recommend Baccano strongly enough. No matter how much I recommend it, I couldn't possibly do it justice.

magus113 · 04-18-2010, 03:18 AM

Probably gonna throw that into my list of shows to catch.

BlueFire · 04-18-2010, 05:36 PM

I love Ghost in the Shell: SAC! It's so good and I rarely hear people mention it.
