Most recently watched: Elfen Lied. Look at all the body parts falling off... hehehe...
Favourite: Probably the original BCG
After careful study of Number One's biographic work My Ceaseless Quest to Conquer Earth and Destroy its Puny Inhabitants, we have come to the conclusion that the Ghast Empire may well be up to something rum.

Managed to get my hands on season 1-3 of City Hunter, I was going to get it on torrent but because of the size of the thing I decided against it and wept as I spent a good chunk of change for the dvds. Need to buy the movie and the tv and ova specials next. As for favorites I'd say Angelic Layer and Azumanga.

Watched the Japanese language (English subtitled) Cardcaptor Sakura, both the Clow `book` and the Sakura 'book' and the New Cutey Honey. Also the Eriko Sato movie is hilarious, sometimes unintentionally.
My favorite is still the original BGC (2032), the 2040 version doesn't have the same force.

Most recently finished up with Rozen Maiden Traumend. Planning on finishing REC off (last two eps) before I leave for the weekend (be sure to miss me all of you!)
Other then that I'm keeping up with quite a few series, among which Naruto, One Piece, Fate Stay Night, Bleach, Candy Candy (yes, that old series, found the first 29 eps torrented) and Ah My Goddess.
Other then that there's a few loose series floating about, but none of those have been watched what I'd call 'recently'
I have over 150 DIFFERENT titles

Dunno if I make the 150 mark... But I'm fairly sure I do... You're not alone :P

The Banana, the Atheist's Nightmare:

God made it with a non-slip surface, a color coded system so we know when to eat it, and an easy open tab at the top of the banana. It's just the right shape for a mouth and is easy to digest!!

*Spoilers* Just a little though...

Postby Acey » Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:22 pm

Just finished watching the Gravitation anime. I have quite a few volumes of the manga and had seriously high hopes for the adaptation. Sadly, it just doesn't work. They try to squeeze too much into too few episodes (thirteen in all). As a result, certain characters (Maiko) and settings (the highschool, Shuichi's home) are done away with as Shuichi and Hiro are made at least a year older in order to have graduated school and free up their commitments.
But that removes a great deal of the tension and atmosphere from the original story. Rather than starting off as a talented but raw highschool band, the anime kicks off with the pair already having landed a deal with Tohma Seguchi's production company, essentially skipping and/or mishmashing anything in the earliers volumes not directly related to Shuichi/Yuki romance.
That being said, the romance itself feels horribly contrived in the anime, and only superficially resembles the awesome heat between the two main characters which gave the manga its name.
Despite being older, Shiuchi is much brattier in the anime and cloyingly self-obesessed. His love for Yuki is maintained only by illogical and baffling reasoning, and several of the better characters who weren't done away with have relatively little screentime. The one-note joke Sakano gets as much as Hiroshi for god's sake!
The character designs with the notable exception of Shinji are as close to manga as one can reasonably expect. Shinji though, looks less like a cute stylish eighteen year old than he does the tomboy-ish member of a magical girl group. Image
I like the music, but the same few songs get repeated/recycled quite often, so it can become irritating if you were expecting something to rival Macross Plus or Cowboy Bebop.
The area most worthy of praise would be the acting. Ryutaro Okiayu, Kappei Yamaguchi, Tomokazu Seki, Ai Orikasa, Hiromi Tsuru, Yatsunori Matsumoto - all big names in Japanese voice acting and the first two in particular are given license to let loose and be as funny as they like. ^^ However, Matsumoto (Hiroshi) who has played the likes of Gourry and Dick Saucer before gets relatively little in the way of humorous dialogue, which is a shame because I think he'd be perfect to spout off some off the things Hiro says in the manga that had me rolling. ^^
So all in all, this is okay if you've not read the manga and aren't going in with unrealistic expectations, don't mind a spoiled major character with no real emotional depth and aren't expecting a decent ending. ^^;
There's a Gravitation OVA as well apparently, but unless I hear that it more closely follows the manga than its animated predecessor, I think I'll pass on it.
