    Murf, I couldn't get into GL at all.

    I watched the first few EPs (up to the ep with 16 fuzzy beastmen) and just didn't find it amusing past the first ep and a half. Does it eventualy get past the "we are mocking mecha/buddybuddy anime"?

    There's plot to be had inbetween there and Ep 9

    hmmm... anyone mentioned Tsukihime or Gankutsuou? Those are two of my all time favourites and most people never seem to have seen them :o

    Tsukihime is kinda funny that it was a fighting game before it was an Anime.

    If I read into back after I first watched it correctly then Tsukihime started as a hentai game which later spawned the fighting games which then lead to either the manga or anime :o

    As for Gankutsuou, I guess it's not for everyone but I've found that anyone I've made sit through the whole first episode or two usually hunts down the rest of the series on their own rather willingly :p
    I think the unusual art style puts a lot of people off at first but you get used to it and some scenes such as the scene with haydee in her elaborate dress are just breath-taking!

    <b>edit:</b> Rover could be right though, perhaps the manga came first... tsukihime's past is a bit confusing :p

    falling behind on GL, it's a little silly. on a side note, darker than black is surprisingly not as emo as i'd thought it would be...

    so in Claymore 8, when pricillia powers up (in the mountain) I swear to god that it makes a sound like a Star Wars laser blast <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    with enough people saying that Darker Then Black is decent I will try it out (I gave up on GL for to silly)

    Oh, and I know I said it before

    but I seriously love the art and music from Claymore.

    I just finished watching Elfen Lied last night. What a cliff hanging ending, probably my new favourite. Except I didn't watch the bonus episode.

    I'm catching up with Gurren Lagann and I'm disappointed. It took a giant sh*t on itself by killing off a good character, making one an emo and introducing a stupid bimbo.

    God damn it.

    Hell, the anime they based Evangelion on was pretty much "EVERYONE DIES! AND MECHS!"
    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Runaway_Ideon#.22Kill_.27Em_All.22" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Runaway...ll_.27Em_All.22</a>

    It's a Gainax thing.
    If mechs are involved, main characters MUST die.

    Heh, ah here we go.

    This is the anime which I figure he was based off of.

    Anyways figure it's like Star Wars.
    Main character gets trained.
    Then the teacher must either leave, or die for the story to progress.
