SPOILERS: someone loses an eye.

I haven't actually watched any of Code Geass and know jack about it but it's CLAMP. I AM SURE I AM RIGHT
 
Hey, someone!

Is Code Geass really worth watching? I saw like the first episode and then kinda stopped because I liked Gurren Lagann better. :V
 
Don't know if it is or isn't, but I heard it's good. Dislike the art, though!

Go watch Slayers: it's shounen, highly entertaining, typically low on episodes consisting entirely of fighting, funny, and randomly uncancelled after ten years.
 
Right, is Bleach any good?

I've seen Episode 1 but it kinda seems like the anime with fight scenes lasting 5 episodes.
 
Dunno about the anime, but the manga's decent.
Goes on forvever, but has some really cool characters and the artist has the best fashion sense ever.
 
Just finished watching FLCL. And there's only one word to describe it: EPIC. The music is epic, the animation is awesome, the characters are lovable... And the crazy insane randomness made this one of the best anime I've ever watched. It's epic.

Go watch it. Now.

Now I'm planning to watch Mushishi, Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain, and Monster. Geez, I think I'm into twisted stuff right now...

About Bleach... I heard that the anime sucks, but the manga's good. I only read a bit of manga and never watched the anime, so I can't really comment anymore...

Hmmm... I guess it depends on what you like. I think it's pretty good, but it's not in my top-favorite list of all time because of excess hand gestures, GAH DARN YOU [insert character here]s, and "hey lol my friend was just making fun of this I see what he meant now"s. Just watch a few episodes, and if you think it sucks, then don't watch it anymore. That's what I do with new anime.

And I just remembered that I forgot to put Magical Lyrical Nanoha on the list. And, uh... Don't ask.
 
Started watching Tales of Eternia: The Animation. I'd rather watch this before I get into Symphonia's anime. So far, it's pretty decent considering the preservation of Tales elements (Artes, Craymels, etc.). I should also look into the Phantasia anime, although I'd rather go for the dub.
 
Currently watching:
-AiR TV
-Tsubasa (though I'm reading more of the manga, but meh.)
-Pocket Monsters Diamond and Pearl (and the dub sometimes)

Really need to watch even though I know what happens:
-Full Moon
-Elfien Leid
-Furits Basket
-Ouran High Host Club
-Princess Tutu (better than it sounds, BTW)

Really need to watch:
-Full Metal (I need moviation for some reason...)

What do you mean I watch too much Shojo?
 
I gotta love Death Note (Light makes some pretty funny faces...) But lately I've been watching Tokyo Mew Mew and Higurashi no naku koro ni. Higurashi's a good mystery/violence one....
 
Random humor....?

FLCL, or Furi Kuri or Fooly Cooly or what ever you call it.

Does hitting people and giant robots with guitars while riding on a yellow Vespa scooter random enough for you?

Meanwhile.... I just realized that I forgot to put Ouran High School Host Club on my list. That's pretty good random humor, too, but I'm not sure about the dub, since I watched the subbed version.

Currently watching:
- Evangelion
- Gurren Lagann because it's by the same company as Evagelion and FLCL and it's 9th on the Anime News Network list. I don't like the art style though....
- Mushishi (YES I FOUND SOME SUBBED EPISODES WHOOT)

And that's about it.

Aww, you don't like it? I really like the art, especially the eyecatches. One of the reasons I got mad at the dub was they took the eyecatches out. >:O

What did you see in this anime? It was funny, but didn't seem to really earn my laughter. An average series, if anything.

Finished since last list:
- Hidamari Sketch x365, twas good.

Still Going: Everything else.

Newly Started:
- Soul Eater, finally got around to this. I am mainly hoping it'll hold my interest through the whole series, as 51+ episodes is always a hard sell for me.
- Zettai Karen Children, do you like... loli superheroes? ridiculous villains? episodicness? Aya Hirano? Ryoko Shiraishi? Check this out. Maybe I should've watched Soul Eater before this instead of afterward, because this managed to overshadow Soul Eater a bit, which can always be a problem if I start more than 1 series at a time.

Stuff I recommend:
- School Days, if you like romance and tragedies together, watch! Be mindful, though, the main man seems to be either loved or hated by folks I see on the internet and such.
- Shakugan no Shana, it's rather good, though the romance side-story sort of detracts from the main plotline a lot. The first season was good, the second season is also good, but drags on in the middle.
- Onegai (Please) Teacher, I adore this anime. It's a very lovely romance story.
- Onegai Twins, the more comedic spin-off of the above. I liked Onegai Teacher better, but this passes with flying colors.
 
Wolf's Rain is decent, though sad. Try to avoid the recaps right in the middle of the anime though - I skipped right through them when I watched it on Youtube.

Currently watching the Deltora adaptation, but I can't find Episode 3 at all. ><

I watched a few more episodes just now. I like the style now~ I don't know how my brain works. I guess it needed some time to get used to it. And yes, the eyecatches are awesome.
 
Oh yes. .hack//Roots hasn't been mentioned yet. It's rather good. Maybe not as deep as SIGN, but it works out. Although .hack Conglomerate tends to be more coherent in terms of plot, so don't be surprised if you feel like you're really missing something by the end if you haven't played .hack//G.U.
