Anime appreciation thread~!

I finished Paranoia Agent last night, and that show is a trip.  For only 13 episodes, they get a lot in and introduce quite a few characters, but it doesn't feel like too much and not once was I confused as to what was going on.  What's finally revealed at the end, they kind of give it away a few episodes from the end, but you're still left guessing as to who Lil Slugger is and if he's even real.  Great soundtrack, too.

Oh, and I created my own anime list, as well! http://myanimelist.net/profile/MillsLayne

I thought about rating them but I didn't have time to do that. The only anime I didn't like was Blue Gender, it was so boring but I kept watching, hoping it would get better... it didn't Thanks! These two sound interesting, I'll put them on my watchlist I started watching Berserk, I remembered seeing a couple of episodes with a friend of mine a few years ago.

It took me some time to watch the first season because most episodes were stand-alone stories (I can't say the title didn't warn me :P), so it didn't encourage me to watch the next one. The second season was better in that aspect though. I created an account on MyAnimeList: http://myanimelist.net/profile/scadima What do you think I should watch now?

While I've added those recommendations to my must watch list, I recently finished Phantom Requiem For The Phantom.  It's basically broken up into three story arcs, all centering on the two assassins Ein and Zwei, and their struggle to find their true identity and break free from their super mob employer, Inferno.  It started out really strong, but the end felt kind of rushed and not really complete.  It also left me with too many questions to certain plot points that felt unfinished.  Not bad, overall, and I actually really enjoyed it, but I didn't care for the end.

Now on to Ergo Proxy, one that I'm enjoying immensely a few episodes in.

I'll change that, it's rubbish. The writing for the characters is about as ham fisted as it gets.

Yes, the first season was released on DVD as When They Cry in the US and in Australia, and the second season was released as Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai. There are also OVAs called Higurashi Rei, Kira, and Kaku, but only episodes 2-4 from Rei are really relevant for the overall story.

New shows are starting to pop up. Excited to start watching them. I love first episodes.
