Just marathoned Steins;Gate in 2 days. Absolutely LOVED this series.

I agree.

Finally got around to watching Code Geass and Tengen toppa gurren lagann. Will finish up bleach soon (forget where I left off, Aizen was still trapped in fire, and found out who #1 was), and few other things I downloaded a while ago but never watched.

I have been enjoying lately:

Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos- funnnny and I really like the voice acting
Kids on the Slope- Jazz.. nuff' said.
Mysterious Girlfriend X-.... I guess it's pretty good.

Also like:
Cowboy Bebop
Blood+
Elfen Lied
Gundam wing
Chobits
Rosario+vampire (manga)

Revival, plus I invested in a 2-bay external drive (3TB-Raid 1) and a few months back started cloud backups through Crashplan for other files as well. Trying to get back into enjoying and watching Anime at home (consistently) when I get time on days off. (In the living room not on my PC, since I'm near completion of my home theater setup.)

Currently or about to start watching these 2012 series. Some series that started in January 2012 I lost track and need to start over. I know others are watching or saw other series that ended. Give me some opinions. Thanks.

So the Fall season is about four weeks or more in now on most series. What is everyone watching?

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anim...ght/2012/fall/


...and Initial D 5th Stage series started as well. It wasn't on the lists from Anime News Network.

[RacingManiac]

My Anime consumption has dropped drastically in the last few years....currently I am only watching Jormungand, Initial D 5th stage, and the once every forever Gundam Unicorn....I tried to get in to Eureka 7 AO, but not really grabbing me like the original did...

Jormungand I like too, I read the story before it first aired, but watching it really brings you into the story. I'm trying to finish it so I can start watching season two. I'm enjoying Eureka 7 AO...it definitely has a different feel from the first series. I'm still watching series from 2011 and early 2012. I can't keep up all the time myself.

I'll have a good two weekends in a row and then fall back yet again. Maybe Thanksgiving weekend I'll go into overload on everything.

New animated DBZ movie to be released in Japan on March 30th..written by Toriyama himself so you know it'll be good.

[jubei208]

Yeah!!!!!!!!! My friend told me about the DBZ movie a few months ago. Looking forward to that. My son watches it too, so I should say we are looking forward to it.

I think I've been thru just about everything Netflix has that's decent. Everything I've tried recently, I've quit after a few minutes in. It's amazing how much stuff doesn't even have a plot, just shots of panties mixed with explosions. There was some weird thing about witches and aliens during WW2 and none of the female characters had pants - what the hell?

same here, soo many anime out right now; nothing has really caught my attention. just finished watching the Zetman series.

currently watching:

Jormungand (Perfect Order), whole series reminds me of Black Lagoon
Initial D 5th Stage
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

still reading my manga: Naruto & Bleach

[RacingManiac]

Personally I hated the last few years trend of "moe" girl or series pretty much dedicated to fan service.....the genres never did much for me so I really had not paid much attention to them. Nothing really offered much in terms of story or characters...

[RacingManiac]

The glacial progress of the Evangelion remake is still progressing....3.0 is out in Japan today...

I don't even remember how the 2.0 ends...

Thanks for the heads up on 3.0.

Thanks for the heads up on 3.0.

There is also this:

Spoiler heavy, but considering it'll be next to forever until I can see this, I don't really care...at anyrate it sounds like nothing I was expecting....

[VarianceVQ]

Mirai Nikki.

[VarianceVQ]

Going retro. Planning on hitting all of the Gundam series right from the start.

Finished the original and am now on Zeta which in which the characters all seem way more prone to violent mood swings and are very slap (and punch happy).

[RacingManiac]

Zeta is a good series...if not a bit depressing....

[WhitePoloCT]

Will there ever be another Darker Than Black series?
