    Easily one of the funniest I've ever seen, with some of the best music and voice-acting as well (won numerous awards IIRC..). An instant favorite for me. I highly recommend it.

    By the way, what's the deal about BPS (Battle Programmer Shirase)? It only has 15 episodes ?

    It kinda liked it but was definitivly too short (12 min per episodes). It wasn't the best show I ever saw but then again, it is not the worst.

    Did they ever continued it ?

    fun fact: Haruhi is almost tied with Eva for the "Most Soundtracks Released for a Short Series" award (last i checked, eva had 19 and haruhi had 18. numbers include OSTs, singles, drama/radio CDs and CVAs)

    Well, this isn't anime, but what's Deathnote about? I see my friends reading it and it's on peoples sigs and such. I guess it's about some death-note and someone dies after reading it... Well, the art reminds me of Inuyasha in a way. Not cute, but not gritty Ninja Scroll either. Er, what makes this special than tons of other stuff out there.

    DESSS NOTE???

    It's about a notebook that will kill any human whose name is written in it. The main character finds this notebook and decides he will try to reshape the world with it.

    I gave up on watching the Death Note Anime it goes down hill mid series imo I ended up watching both the live action movies last week and I'd recommend that you go for them instead :O

    Or you could... you know... go for the manga. Like One Piece, Naruto, etc...
    I don't see the point of watching anime based on manga.
    EDIT: Unless differences are totally radical like Haruhi :\

    Nah Deathnote is good up until about halfway through the series.

    Then it REALLY starts to go downhill.

    thats a shame im half way through now.


    plus i heard that the live action is terrible, but i guess its a matter of taste

    "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya"

    Watch it now. If you don't, the nightmares will hunt you down while you sleep... well obviously while you sleep since... ah ... damnit. Just watch it.

    I cried at the ending... because there was no more to watch. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    It's the true ending!

    My eyes didnt deserve that...

    On a side note, <i>Higurashi no Naku Koro ni</i> is the freakiest series I have ever seen.

    i remember that show. i watched a few episodes before getting too freaked out to continue. The very first scene of the first episode is some kid beating a corpse bloody with a baseball bat <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" /> </spoiler!> not for the faint of heart.

    ...and i nearly fell out of my chair from those death note spoilers too.

    Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

    For everyone not knowing it. The anime is in 8 chapters. 3 or 4 episodes each. They always show the same few days. But every chapter shows a little more or different things than the last. Its freaky. I'm at 8 right now. Can't complete it right now, it's kinda gettin on my nerves since I had to pause for 3 weeks.

    Hardly, when Light/Laito/Raito(However anal you like to get about Japanese) thinks he's "In power" and he teams up with L to find Kira it's just dumb. There's some good writing in there, but the plot becomes really ridiculous and stupid, then Nello(Or whoever the f*ck) and that other guy get introduced and they're boring characters. The whole story should have been Light on the run trying to frame everyone else for his doings, not becoming the chief of police.

    Ok, I just finished another anime with a totally messed up ending.

    Space Runaway Ideon. Spoiler ahoy. (I forgot the color# that match the background)
    <!--coloro:#003333--><span style="color:#003333"><!--/coloro-->All the protagonist died. The pregnant main heroine got shot in the head, so did her husband later. The main pilot got killed, his blood splattered all over the screen. A 3-4 year old girl got decapitated, on camera, I just have to go back and see the scene three times.

    I watched Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni save for the last arc of the first season.

    It's based on a horror mystery visual novel of the same name for the PC. It's actually good if you're into murder mysteries and whatnot.

    It tends to confuse a few people as it is seperated into different arcs. It should all be clarified and tie up all the arcs with the second season though. I think it's bound for this summer.
