I feel the same way about Gurren Lagann.

Anyway, Claymore gets another vote from me here. I’ve only watched up to ep 16 or 17 in parts, and although Negs is exaggerating, it does get a bit wierd in parts.

You should probably finish watching Hidamari Sketch too - it’s a little slow, but a good series anyway. And Tsukuyomi ~Moon Phase~ - I’ve always meant to get around to finishing myself.

Right off the bat, I am not planning to pick up on Yakikate Japan, because somewhere around the midpoint of the show, it just gets as boring as fuck. I enjoyed the manga, and I do like the show, but it’s also one of those 50 episode monstrosities I said I wasn’t going to do.

So.. we have two possible suggestions for Claymore, and two possible suggestions for Noein. I have to say that I’m not really that big on fantasy in regards to Claymore, and Noein made my head hurt with the first episode.

So.. Noein or Claymore? Or something else?

To make things trickier, I just finished getting all of Dennou Coil, and I did enjoy Lain, so unless a clear winner of the two is chosen, then I’m going to pull out the Jaymz clause and just marathon Dennou Coil anyway.

I was going to suggest Noein too, but I thought I saw it awhile ago all dubbed on Cartoon network adult swim, so people who are interested in it probably saw it already. While it’s pretty good (especially the art and animation style), the way they approach multiverse and quantum physics ideas is way to literal and contrived that it’s definitely not theoretically possible LOL.

PS. Yakitate Japan is the shit, I am constantly amazed at how they manage to make the most mundane thing entertaining.

Also, thanks for spoiling it, ass-hat! I was going to finish it, one day!

Da Crapo you can just let drop all I remember is Nemu going “oh nii-sama I wanna have hot unprotected illegal sex with you!” and she pretty much gets her wish near the end of the series which why I just stopped watching it.

You can of course drop season 2 of Da Crapo before it eats away at your brain

Same with Death Note, the ending of it is basically one giant fucking cop out. They didn’t know what the hell to do so they made a really crappy ending for it.

I’’s Pure is nothing more then a retelling of the manga, so I had a hard time watching it as it was all the same crap all over again.

Noein - Mou Hitori no Kimi e - this here is actually a very well done series, I highly suggest finishing it before I fly the hell down there and shove a fork in your skull. The interesting part is all the science stuff is actually theoretically possible.

Yakitate!! Japan - is one of those few shows that is amazingly fun to watch despite it’s content. I had lots of fun watching people bake bread, which in itself was amazing.

Anyways that’s my 2 cents

In response to popularity - I hear Dragon Ball Z and Naruto is pretty popular as well, but I’d sooner jam forks into my eyes before even contemplating putting myself through that crap.

-Speed Grapher (animation quality went from good to unpalatable, but interesting perverted story)

-Le Chevalier D’Eon (Production I.G… I put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go… and this is the shit you fling at me? Same goes for Blood , now come to think of it)

-Zegapain (an anime based on a game, how can it be anything other than generic?)

-Claymore (already reading the manga, so what’s the point)

My all time favorites that I never finished myself. You think you are lazy? try to beat that. These are shows I would give 10/10 anytime, maybe you could give them a shot.

-Mushishi (such an emotionally exhausting show for me, really need to get in the zone and marathon it in the future)

-Kino’s Journey (I know it has such depth and symbolism to the stories and all…)

On a side note, wow you really hate Basilisk huh? They even made a feature length live action film on that so it has quite a following. Stories aside, you didn’t even like the ninja actions? They were weird as hell.

- Aria (because it is awesome)

- Claymore (so that you too can experience the creeping horror that results from the show getting better and better then completely fucking it up, much like a train steaming faster and faster while on fire and being chased by ninjas, then suddenly derailing and smashing through an orphanage and coming to rest in an abortion clinic)

- Marimite OAVs. (Why have you not finished these?)

- Saiunkoku Monogatari (it was awesome and you’ve only got four eps to go)

- Simoun (you stopped watching right when it got awesome :( )

Remove Black Cat from your plan-to-watch list. Shit flavoured ass biscuits is an understatment. Ditto Avenger, one of the most dreadfully dull shows ever produced (it makes Noir look fast-paced).

WHY HAVE YOU NOT YET SEEN ANY OF STRATOS 4?
