Alexa, don't bother with the DGM anime. It's pure crap. I didn't like the manga that much either, but the anime butchered everything good in it.

I like it a lot, actually. The animation is good, the voice acting is good, the music is good... sure, it's different than the manga, but that doesn't mean it's bad.

NANA episode 30 is out!

Currently watching and suggest.  Well it goes beyond saying that the Deathnote anime is good.  D. Gray-man... I'm a huge fan of the manga but the anime is under-whelming so far.  But Lavi appeared in episode 12 so maybe there's hope for the Crowley arc.  I'm also interested in Pumpkin Scissors and Red Garden lately... Le Chevalier d'Eon is also quite an interesting looking series thus far... mmm pseudo-French history.   Also into Ergo Proxy... finished Noein a few months ago and LOVE that series (it's like Escaflowne with quantum physics X_x)

My scanlation downloads are completely consistant: Eyeshield 21, D. Gray-man, Bleach, Naruto, Gintama.

So I just found out that the Death Note anime is out.  I suppose having a 28k-comparable connection at school does that to me.  Downloading it now.

Since I've been home on break, I've been rewatching Fushigi Yuugi for nostalgia's sake, and Youtube-ing Maria-sama ga Miteru.  I'm quite enjoying Marimite -- it's a less-depressing Oniisama E -- and Fushigi Yuugi has a spot in my heart, "Miaka!  Tamahome!" volleys aside.

I haven't heard of it, no.  I'm not a fan of harem anime, honestly -- Fushigi Yuugi is just sort of comforting in that it was one of my earliest favorites.

What is Chevalier about?

Marimite kicks tons of ass.

I've gone back to watching all the old, unlicensed Gundam series again - currently slogging my way through Gundam X and Turn A Gundam, although Gundam Victory is in the queue. Gundam X has kinda not-so-hot animation (unsuprisingly - I'm trying to think of when any Gundam series has had good animation - at least, up until 1999, there was no such thing!), but the story and the characters make up for it. Its basically a "what-if" series, as in, what if they had actually dropped the colonies in Gundam Wing.

Turn A Gundam was supposed to tie together all the Gundam series ever into one timeline - I haven't finished it yet, so I'll have to get to you on how effectively it was done. It has suprisingly good animation for a Gundam series. It takes place in a future world which has reverted to early 20th century technology - well, besides the mechas running around. In it, there is a race of people living on the Moon, and they are finally returning to Earth after thousands of years away. They have tons of technology, and the people of Earth have completely forgotten they even existed - so, of course, the Moonrace is planning to invade and take over. It has an interesting "clash of the cultures" sort of thing going on.

It's funny, I adore the Gundam series that really diehard fans seem to ignore - X and Turn A are my favorite series, but for some reason everyone else seems to dislike them.

Let me give someone else's take on Chevalier d'Eon:

"Production I.G. and Gonzo co-production about cross-dressing chevalier on the eve of the French Revolution versus the Comte St. Germain and zombies.

And magic swords from crosses.

In Arcadia Et Ego, baby."

I liked that descrip. Enough to decide to buy it sight unseen when it's licensed.

It's actually based in fact, y'know.

I recommend "Mermaid Forest" But prefer the OAV (Which I'm still trying to figure out if it's on DVD or not) to the later series...but it has it's positive points also.

As for current anime...well, I just got the last of the Cowboy Bebop REMIX DVD's...and have been recently exposed to the hentai "La Blue Girl" (don't know it's original title) which I think is absolutely hilarious.

Honestly, I'm still catching up to old stuff. I managed to find both DVD sets of Devil Hunter Yohko recently, not long after I found the first set of New Cutey Honey episodes. I'm rewatching all of the Slayers OAV's and movies, but I'm missing Slayers Excellent from my collection. Also when I get the cash, I'm buying the Wedding Peach second DVD set. The newest things I've watched that weren't on Cartoon Network are Kannazuki no Miko, Cromartie High School, and Azumanga Daioh.

Yay Saint-Juste fans here. I'm pretty nuts about Mariko, too. o: Oniisama E (and Riyoko in general) is my answer to the chick flick. Whenever I'm feeling incredibly down I end up watching it, and it never fails to shake me up.

My copy is Technogirls so I don't know. It hasn't been licensed in English and I don't think any fansubbers have taken it up since.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm also watching the MariMite OVA right now, but I have a hard time feeling the same way about MariMite/Stopani as I did about OE. Especially Marimite. It's a cute story though. I usually don't pay much attention to voice acting but I'm getting a little annoyed with this. Shimako has a very good voice actress with a pretty unique sound and all the other VAs seem to be trying to emulate her signature breathyness this time around. It's pretty when it's one character in 30% of the anime I watch and I'm a big fan of hers, but hearing the other's force it is getting on my last nerve.
