Jormungand have been most entertaining anime series this season

[Vracer111]

Another anime fan here. But I'm selective and I tend to like the more serious stuff mostly:

5 Centimeters per Second
Birdy the Mighty: Decode One of my most favorite anime series...
Canaan - Alphard steals the show - best female villain ever?
Casshern Sins
Ergo Proxy (probably my all time favorite...plan on getting the Japanese Blu-Ray release coming out next month...having to sell none important title in my collection to cover the cost though...)
Evangelion - 1.11 & 2.22 movies, have not seen the series yet, plan to after all the movies have been completed!
Eve no Jikan
Figure 17
Flag
Ghost in the Shell (both series and Innocence)
Gunslinger Girl (Another one of my favorites, first series only though...)
Jin-Roh
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (I do no like most Miyazaki films...this one is an exception! The manga is just plain AWESOME though!)
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
The Skull Man - best serious mystery/detective anime I've seen.
Solty Rei
Summer Wars
Sword of the Stranger
Usagi Drop (probably only second behind Ergo Proxy to me..have the Austrailan DVD release and have the US Blu-Ray pre-ordered)
Viper's Creed - if only this would get a release outside of Japan!
Yukikaze

and also some "Classics":
Bubblegum Crisis
Cowboy Bebop - another one of my most favorite series
Gunbuster
Patlabor(entire franchise - have it and Love it!)
Trigun

but also like some comedies:
Cat Blue Dynamite - a throwback to the 70's that's so bad it's awesome...
Dai-Guard
FLCL
Full Metal Panic - entire franchise...
Gintama
Gunsmith Cats
Nichijou
Ramen Fighter Miki
Trava Fist Planet (finally got the DVD - for not a bad price either!)
You're Under Arrest

and some racing titles:
Capeta - this seriously needs a DVD release
eX-Driver
Initial D - needs to be a 5th stage!
Oban Star Racers

and some others:
Arjuna
Beck
Iria: Zeiram the Animation
Macross Zero - Oh, how this needs an English sub release on Blu-Ray!
Origin: Spirits of the Past
Planetes
Princess Nine
Rocket Girls
Romeo x Juliet
Samurai Champloo
Sky Blue - the Korean Animation
Valerian & Laureline
Vexille

But i have to say Redline, has been my current favorite anime title ever since the Japanese Blu-Ray release last year, and it's one of the few titles other than Nausicaa that I bought more media than just the anime or soundtrack: (Actually have 3 different Blu-Ray releases of it - Japanese Special Edition, UK Collectors Edition, and regular US release) have an official framed Movie poster, Extras from the Japanese release and a Japanese flyer framed, Redline Super Anime Album, and fanart sketch I comissioned at a convention. I also want to build from scratch a model of Sonoshee's "Crab Sonoshee" racer in the near future... the most awesome and sleek racing vehicle to grace anime. And the Blu-Ray is just spectacular - best reference level anime for combination of picture and audio... the audio is just spectacular!

As for upcoming titles, of course Evangelion 3.0/3.33 is highly anticipated, but I'm also looking forward to Mamoru Hosoda's new movie Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki and am very excited about Sakasama no Patema, from the creators of Eve no Jikan...

[ichitaka05]

OMFG!!!!! I hate Sakamichi no Apollon with a passion!!!!! I f'ing didn't need to watch soap opera in anime series!!!!!!!! F'! I can't believe I've wasted time watching up til 10 epi... FML

[ionshards]

@Vracer111: I'm watching Birdy the Mighty: Decode right now. I'm on the second season, it's pretty good.

I just finished Elfin Lied. Lots of gore, but really well thought out story.

And I just watched FLCL (I'm behind, I know), but I didn't really get it... o_0

I have a special place for Cowboy Bebop and the Entire Gundam Universe in my heart. I need to find some other anime's to watch. :|

Definitely the 2 on my top as well!

Very sad that Bleach anime ended; just can't bring myself to read the manga & continue the story haha

Not to mention i started playing when i was 13 and to just stop would be a big waste of money in my eyes. (Although, i only play with close friends. I don't really want to flaunt my nerdy guilty-pleasure around.)

I love playing YuGiOh! Me & a couple friends were just talking about this the other day; now I really gotta find my cards & start playing again =P

I hate it when I have to feel that way about trying a new anime! haha I know what you mean; you just want to finish the story you already wasted some hours on, but it's definitely terrible =P

I just put in an order of cards. 'Felt so good.

Awesome! Which set? I've got a lot of sets & rules to catch up on; since my last set was Pharaoh's Servant with the intro of legendary secret rares Jinzo & Imperial order xD

This also makes me think about the all the video games for the card game; some were good for a while, while others were terrible xD
Nothing beats actually holding the cards Lol

I'm now online card shopping... =P

I remember my favorite part of the anime was battle city! I have to rewatch that series again!

I didn't buy anything from a single particular set-- i bought a bunch of random singles from TrollandToad.com.

Some of the video games were pretty sweet, but playing with the actual cards is still whats up.

Just finished Angel Beats. Worth the watch, even if it was very Haruhi-like.

Finishing up Mayo Chiki and Durarara this week. Need some advice on what I should watch next:
FMA Brotherhood
Steins;Gate
Gintama (I got bored after 2 eps)
Fate/Zero
Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica
5 cm/s

I was trying to watch Redline (as recommended in Vracer's post), but I'm having issues playing it (10bit). Tried CCCP, Shark007, and XBMC. XBMC is definitely the best player, but it's still unwatchable. Need to do some tweaking because I want it to work.

As for a few of my favorite anime, I'd say:
Clannad + After Story - you'll laugh, you'll cry. Possibly the best anime ever.
Elfen Lied - I was like NO! NOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! the whole time I watched it. Loved it.
Mushishi - So relaxing with the music and scenery. Awesome stories. I put this on if I can't sleep at night (or Miyazaki stuff)

Here are my 2 cents
FMA Brotherhood - was good... but kinda got bored half way through... ending was good... just the mid...
Steins;Gate - It's funny, serious, & mystery. It's well worth your time
Gintama - Are you talking about Gintama or Gintama'? Either way, this series is worth watching when you don't have anything to watch & need some comedy anime.
Fate/Zero - OMG, that series is awesome! Just awesome! lil bit bloody, but it's deeper plot than Fate/Stay Night
Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica - I personally don't like it... but most of my friends like it.
5 cm/s - It's good... but to damn short lol

I've near 4TB (2TB x2 EHD) full of anime series (that's +-800 series)... pretty soon I need to by another EHD

[GuySmily]

Thanks for the feedback. I don't see Steins;Gate on BakaBT so I'll have to look elsewhere. Have Gintama, not Gintama' yet (I assume ' is second season?)

I'll probably try to finish Madoka Magica and move onto Fate/Zero since I loved Fate Stay Night. Some of the manga screenshots I saw of Fate/Zero were REALLY bad though - worse than Elfen Lied by far.

But yeah I've got ~4TB myself in my HTPC and it's emptying fast. Waiting for 3TB to get even cheaper. Problem is my HTPC is at home - I'm in Oregon right now (vacation) and I only brought Angel Beats, Mayo Chiki, Gintama, Durarara, and Princess Jellyfish on my laptop (and Planet Earth, which is pretty awesome).

OT: I stopped at the Subaru and Toyota dealers in Bend, OR, and neither had any 86's available - but both had employee-owned 86's.

If you like fate zero check out Zetman (great plot IMO), I think VIZ did a good job converting the manga.

I also love Steins Gate! Amazing it is posted on Crunchyroll

For Comedy I have to go with FMP Fumufu, Seriously their are moments that I have never laughed that hard, EVER

Fumoffu is awesome! School Rumble is right next to Fumoffu when it comes to school comedy.

I should get on watching Fate/Zero.

Doooooo iiiiiiiiit!

It's pretty good

[GuySmily]

Just watched Hoturabi no Mori e. My sisters cried. I'd say it's a worth watching especially because it's only 45 minutes.

Sound was choppy in 1080p/hi10p on my laptop though (video lag).
edit- Started over following a guide from BakaBT and all is well. http://wiki.bakabt.me/index.php/Hi10P

Almost tempted to change my avatar for this anime.

It's a good watch for sure... but before change it, it might be a good idea to know the title correctly. It's "Hotarubi" not "Hoturabi" lol
