Animes I’ve been watching lately:
Vandread: The Second Stage: Finally saw the second season, and it’s awesome. Very good character depht exploration, very charismatic characters and stories. Some scenes were sad, some funny… this series has all the elements in a solid package. The ending was nice too. I want to see more of the red haired girl that joined the pirates in the last episodes!
Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
BC still remains as the coolest character to me, no matter is she’s a he. As for my favorite girl… it’s hard, but Barnette and Jura rock!
End of Spoiler
Overman King Gainer: up to episode 3! Gain rocks! And Anna continues as cute as she was. I want more dancing robots!!!!!
Onegai Teacher episode 13 (ova) Unnecessary as it was (nothing really happens on it), it was needed for the fans, 12 episodes were too few. Mizuho sensei continues as one of the cutest characters I’ve ever seen. Interesting, but the ova manages sex in a cool way, not only the usual ecchiness everyone is used in normal anime.
Videogames I’ve tried/got lately
The GBA were tried with emulator, just to choose which ones to buy.
Kirby: Star Fountain of Dreams (GBA): It has nice graphics, but it plays just like the first NES Kirby. Yeah, no animal friends, no partners, not much secrets. I wanted more, it’s not at the excellent level of Kirby Super Star and Kirby’s Dreamland 3. I won’t get it I think.
Tales of the World – Narikiri Dungeon 2 (GBA): Awesome, I’m getting it now, ordered it yesterday. 200 costumes to choose from (including cosplaying as Mr Driller, Stahn, and a long etc. list). It’s japanese heavy, be advised. It can be payed without japanese knowledge anyay (that’s why I ordered it), but for it’s more due to a collector thing. The graphics are really nice, the characters are wonderfully animated. Lots and lots of cameos of other Tales characters, some even join your team. Really fun battles, it’s a Tales anyway.
Kaze no Klonoa G2 (GBA): Another keeper. A lot like the first one, just more colorful and pretty, with more variety. Namco shows how much they like their mascots.
Mr Driller G (PS): Awesome. It adds a lot of new cool things to the first one (it’s the third one, but the second one on non-portable consoles). There are new playable characters (even Susumu’s father, the main character in the old Dig Dug games), a story mode with different rules on each stage, and a vs. race mode. Special mention: it has easily one of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard, with several vocal themes. Really worth importing for puzzle fans. Be advised anyway, it’s hard.
As always, keep in mind that these are my views. Got another opinon or something you want to share? Use this thread for that!

Overman King Gainer: only been able to find the first 2 episodes, but Whoo! dancin' robots! eh? the series? whatever man, I'm just gonna keep watching the credits. I needa King! I needa King-GainaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA!
Utena: yeah yeah, it's 6 years old, I just got around to watching it. It's certainly . . . interesting. Follows the tried and true story arc of light->dark->insane that japanese anime seems to like. What the hell is up with all the incest? I liked the story, but all that other stuff was . . . creepy.
Witch Hunter Robin: 15 episodes in; nothing special, really, but I sort of like it. For some reason, the concept of the credits really appeals to me, k'know, Amon struttin' around doing the whole badass routine while Robin watches him on tv. Hmm, that's 2 shows who's credits I've brought up.
Jin-Roh: not what I expected, but in a good way.
Tenchi GPX: blegh, not doin' it for me.
Wild Arms 3: nice look, easy but fun dungeon puzzles, somewhat annoying overland map system, fairly standard turn based combat. More fun than I had with Kingdom Hearts, and cheaper too.
cvs2: sniff, no one to play. I've picked up a-maki . . . because I hate myself.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Got a PS2 finally, and FFX...Now just need to get Contra, Sky Gunner, DW3, GTA3, etc...etc
Any, new anime comments forthcoming
Overman King Gainer: Umm, like the character design, music, ending, and opening...But god everything happens at such a fast pace it's hard to understand what's going on. It looks intresting, but we got 3 eps of stuff crammed into one ep. I'll give ep 2 a shot, but so far it looks like another Brain Powered to me.
Hanbei Renmei : Saw ep 1 today, and found it to be intresting. A unique setup that seems to leand itself to humor and Drama. Doubt will see more digisubbed eps since Pioneer USA coproduced this, but expect a US release soon. Worth checking out to see where it heads at least.
Spiral: Shoujo Mystery drama, as a young high school student solves crimes and hopes to solve the main uber mystery of the series. Intresting, and worth following to see where it heads.
Kiddy Grade: Gonzo fanservice in space, as Young girls work for GOTT busting space trade crimes. Pretty well par for the course, you get what you expect here...But it's done well enough that you won't mind checking it out.
Mahoromatic season 2: Mahoro season 2 seems more silly, especially Ep 3 (Which had one super silly scene that Marzinger fans would love). Still, these eps are more in the vein of the first 10 eps of season 1, which were the best eps of season 1 so it's worth checking out for Mahoro fans.
So far the season looks more solid than what I thought it would be, but not as good as the Winter and spring seasons that's for sure. Only SAC looks to get on my favorites list, and I doubt it'll throw Azumanga of the list (Or FMP, Sai_kano, Aquarian Age, and Chobits...)
Manga:
20th Century Boys: Just have to say, Shogun is the coolest character not in GTO right now. Rocking character...And you need to read this manga. Great story that Viz needs to bring over now
