Anime appreciation thread~!

I think Malazan Book of the Fallen would work very good in Anime actually, Apsalar.

it was a good diversion while we wait for second series. pretty typical in format; kind of like how the stories are spread across 2-3 episodes in the series, but in one hit. all the touchstones of mushi-shi were there: simplicity, mystic, and an air of melancholy. i'd say it is worth watching.

people are probably already aware, but a 45min special was aired last week, too.

There's a list of everything I have seen so far, and a few more I plan to check out. Lately I haven't spent much time watching anime, but mainly just reading manga. I do enjoy other fantasy variations, but sci-fi gets on my nerves sometimes (which is odd because I am a math geek). I also like sports-related, romance, and some action/adventure. Really though, I could enjoy anything that's got a good, solid storyline.

I saw that ^___^

Space Dandy does look too comedy based for me but I thought that about Samurai Champloo at first but I ended up really liking it.

I've recently seen the following Animes

AlienNine (It was bizzare at some parts but I liked it overall.)

Bobobobobobo (It's one of my favorite comedy/ parody animes and also the weirdiest anime I've ever seen. )

Shin Chan (I tried to watch an Episode of the Subbed Version but I thought it went too far for what is supposed to be a Kid's Show in Japan. I didn't care for it.)

My Mental Choices are Completely Interfering With My School Romantic Comedy (I've seen bits and pieces of the first 3 or 4 Episodes and I think it's funny. Especially the Jokes in the What If Alternate Ending of Episode 1.)

Samurai Pizza Cats (One of my Favorite Gag Dubs ever along with Bobobo.)

Watamote (I thought it was okay before the Fourth Episode but after that I didn't like it much, Although even before then I barely laughed at the jokes in the first 3 Episodes. I felt the Fourth Episode went a bit too far IMHO.  I also don't really feel sorry for the Main Character Tomoko because it's her own fault she's not popular.)

Plastic Nee-San (Really weird but I find it funny. Almost as bizzare as Bobobo IMHO)

Sound of the Sky (I've seen bits and pieces of it and I like it.)

On an added note I will probably give GJ Club another chance and I'll try to watch Keroro Gunso, Lucky Star, and Fullmetal Alchemist.
