Ok, I've seen an episode of Aoi Hana now.
The series I was watching was Maria-sama ga Miteru, though I couldn't say so because it was in the competition thread. I'm at season 3 now and I'd really like to see the live action movie, though it seems to be rare. It must be the least action-packed movie in existence.
I've also seen a few episodes of Strawberry Panic!
I finally decided to watch Madoka Magica because in another anime/manga website, they told me I should.
I'm currently watching Blood-C right now but they weren't that interesting. It did pick up though.
I'm really liking Ao No Exorcist
and I'm also watching Uta No Prince Sama because my sister thought the opening was amusing.
Usagi Drop is cute and I like it.
I've always said it, "Mah-nah-no-kay."
But I've heard others say it as "Moe-no-no-key."
It wouldn't have been the first time I've heard an English voice actor pronounce a Japanese word strangely/incorrectly.
Sometimes it seems like the differences that can be created while translating the Japanese language are pretty varied. Not just spelling, but also pronunciation. I don't think it was until early 2011 that Sui-Feng from Bleach finally had an official translation of her name assigned. Although I think Soifon is still somehow okay. They both look and sound different AFAIK, and there were still other variations, like Soi-Fon, although I believe that's pronounced pretty similar to above.
*shrug*
After reading some reviews, I don't think I'll watch this one.Who was it looking for romance anime? If you have decent stupid-shounen-fighting-anime constitution, watch Sacred Seven, srsly. The plot is stupid, but Ruri is NOM NOM NOM, because she is voiced by Megumi Nakajima, and has been sending off serious wants to be fucked vibes all season to the MC.
Man, anime really makes me wish we had cultural festivals in high school here. I feel like I've missed out on so much. Dammit, I want to have gone to my classmates' maid cafe! I want to have had a massive awesome bonfire thing! Gahhh.
(Cowboy Bebop (pretty much has the best ost of any series out there),
Paranoia Agent
Welcome to the N.H.K
Shinryaku! Ika Musume
Watching Ergo Proxy at the moment and enjoying it.
Naturally. Though I still need to work my way through most of the rest of their catalog.
For some strange reason I never got into Cowboy Bebop. It's a series I should be loving. Hm...
I do love Samurai Champloo.
Along with many others of Kon's works, it's on my list. Not yet seen.
Ooh, a great one. I think I might have recommended it in this thread, but I can't really remember.
'twas fun. It's very popular, and I just don't see why it stands out. Not that I begrudge the series it's success. It's solid comedy.
Ergo Proxy played the whole roster from brilliant and beautiful to dull and tedious. Luckily, most of it was good.
You sir, have fun times ahead of you.
Japan has cultural festivals, we have the fair.Man, anime really makes me wish we had cultural festivals in high school here. I feel like I've missed out on so much. Dammit, I want to have gone to my classmates' maid cafe! I want to have had a massive awesome bonfire thing! Gahhh.
I've met a fair few people who didn't like it which is odd, because I've always viewed it as an excellent way to ease people into anime. That or The Big O.
Watching NHK was pretty unpleasant for most of the time. I don't think I ever cringed so much before. It's not what you want to watch for relaxation.I really loved N.H.K but man was I depressed when I finished it. It was almost as bad as NGE in that regard.
Oh, I do like lighthearted anime a lot. Among my favourites: Azumanga Daioh, School Rumble, Ichigo Marshmellow, Minami Ke, and last season's A Channel.You've got to be squidding me.
I'm not really into the more light-hearted shows (prefer my anime to be grimdark) so your guess is as good as mine but it seems like the whole "moe" thing has really gained momentum lately.
Pino was definitely my favourite character.Pino's easily my favourite character. Cannot. Resist. The. Cute.
Well, I finished Puella Magi Madoka Magica. The verdict: should have watched it sooner.
Maybe I'll watch it then, some time.Uta No Prince Sama is interesting. The first episode's kind of weird to watch because the main character has (as you can see) these really weird yellow eyes. Also, in the beginning, it was hard to watch because I was really concentrating on the comments people put on niconico since you're able to see them when watching the show.

You probably shouldn't watch Texhnolyze, then.
