Hajime no Ippo, totally got sucked in. The penis joke frequency is rather jarring though, I have never seen anything like it in an anime.
Wolf's Rain, the last three eps I saw made me quite unhappy though, 15-18 are all flashbacks with no new material? Did the animators go on strike or something?
Naruto, it's hard to go wrong with ninja kids, and even harder when the hand to hand combat is way better than it needs to be for this kind of anime. When the hell is Sakura going to do anything useful though? I am sure she has some hidden power...
Rose of Versailles, better late than never. I am really digging it, and I don't like too many other animes from that era. It's famous in Japan though, I saw it everywhere, even on their government issue stamps, so I'd better figure out what it is all about.

Uchuu no Stellvia
It was annoying at first, but slowly I grew to really like the series. especially how it seems to be climaxing many times in a row now in the later episodes. It seems like 13 episodes, though I hope not, that's only two more episodes. It still needs to solve a few more issues in the world.
Scrapped Princess
Excellent.
Wandaba Style
It was great in the first few episodes, then it got annoying, then now its back to 'kinda good' in episode 10+.
I also watch Ninja Scroll each week, it seemed good at the start, but it seriously bores me right now. I'd watch Narue, since I'm a big fan of the original, but it moves in such awesome slow motion. Loki, well... it seemed too weird that the story change from the original that tried to be a detective story, into a anime that tried to be a magical boy story, it seemed a little weird with the two styles, so I stuck to the manga, not that the anime is bad that is.
Princess Tutu was surprisingly good though, given the weird premise, and strange storyline.
What I'm looking most forward to now are:
Keroro Gunso
Gunslinger Girl
Tenbatsu
Tsukihime (JC STAFF! RONDO ROBE!)
And currently I'm most interested in the rumour of a HoiHoi-san tv series. After the announced PS2 game comes the anime, I hope! It'll be awesome.

Right now, on TV:
Meitantei Conan. Although the manga is much better, still it's funny to play guessing the murderer, and to catch a lot of mistakes here and there.
Love Hina.
Crayon Shin Chan. It's gonna end soon though. Until they buy more episodes, that is.
and... that's all right now. They're gonna start airing Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne on monday, but because of holiday and not much interest, guess I won't follow it.
on fansub, well... I'm supposedly doenloading FF:U and Wolf's Rain, but my computer's been acting a little weird lately, and I have everything but time right now (darn exams). So I'm in "pit stop" for now.

There's been a lot of new series coming out that I watched one or two episodes and I wasn't hooked... shows that are ok like DNAngel, Saint Beast, E's Otherwise... they're just ok, but shows I follow are.
Hajime no Ippo, glad I'm not the only one who knows of this show. A great rocking soundtrack, suspensful fights, Takamuro KO'd a freaking bear, it's just great. I didn't know anything about boxing, but I love this show... it's sad the last episode is coming up with number 75.
One Piece, aaarrrrgh, it's high sea adventures matey! Super powered pirates, what's not to love? With over 150 episodes so far there's still lots to come too.
Gad Guard, hey it's in my sig isn't it. Jazzy, innovative, just an all around cool show.
Wolf's Rain, those flashback episodes bugged me too. I was looking in the newtype listings and those episodes were left blank... so maybe they were having staff problems. At least 19 picks back up and it looks like the series is about to end.
Airmaster, the brunt of a lot of harsh criticism... but I love this show. A really cool twist on street fighting and Maki's opponents are getting gradually stronger and cooler. It has to be a cool show if it airs on the Japanese MTV.
Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex, the show has a little less action than I had expected... but the story is very deep and interesting. I just hope they bring back the Tachikoma... or even better, they should rebuild them all as Fuchikoma!
Last Exile, I don't think there's really ever been a show quite like Last Exile. The art is great, the airship battles are really well done, and there's plenty of twists to the story.... I wonder exactly what the Exile is.
Naruto, who doesn't know this show by now. The Chuunin exam is getting ready to hit the climax... I'm already pissed I won't be able to access the next 2 episodes while I'm out of town.
Sonic X, the subber stopped at episode 2... but it's licensed for TV and the DVD comes out soon.... so we should be seeing more. What can I say, I love that blue hedgehog.
As for shows I'm looking forward to... Cinderella Boy looks to be a new Lupin, Chrno Crusade is a good manga, so the anime should be good, and the Read or Die TV series... I haven't checked the new manga... but the first OAV was in a class of it's own.

Scrapped Princess: Nice, nice series. I wonder how it'll develop. Character design is great, and the story is dramatic but cool.
Wolf's Rain: Getting less interesting every day... it did a good job of hyping the story in the first half, I wonder if the end will pay...
Ghost in the Shell - SAC: finally a good GitS anime! I love it, the character interction is great, and the pacing is slow but cool.
Gad Guard, Last Exile: Gonzo hits of the year, but with LE licensed I wonder if I'll see more episodes...
Macross Zero: the second OVA was silly and too stupid, but I'll have to follow it, just for the name.
Captain Herlock - Endless Odyssey: Oh yes. I was more soon! This is how anime should be.
Nurse Witch Komugi Chan: best comedy ever, in my opinion. Mugi mugi!
Yukikaze: WOW! the best I've seen from Gonzo since Ao No Rokugo. So disturbing sometimes... a must check, if you ask me.
Looking forward to: Popotan, Cinderella Boy.

I'm just curious to know what the anime fans in this board are following.
Thanks to the wonderful technology of bittorrent, I'm able to watch quite a lot of series these days.
What I'm watching now, in no particular order:
Matantei Loki Ragnarok
Magical Boy-God Loki solves mysterious mysteries. The characters are very likable :)
Uchu no Stellvia
*Tons* of sexual tension! Which girl will get Shipon?
Wandaba Style
I want a tall cool glass of Mix-Juice!
If you like crazy anime, you'll like this series.
Fansubs are slow though, but they're picking up.
Last Exile
Gonzo makes war even more exciting.
Narue no Sekai
It's not right if I don't follow at least one light-hearted love story.
People complain a lot about it's unusual fanservice :)
Gadguard
Kids with robots, jazzy retro style.
Can't wait for ep7 since it's already been delayed for 2 weeks in Japan
Princess Tutu
Just finished watching all 26 episodes of this wonderful series.
This anime has given me lots of ballet knowledge!
Now I want the soundtrack for this, but it's hard to get.
Scrapped Princess
How can I not watch an anime with charas designed by Mogudan?
It doest hurt that the story rocks as well.
Series I'm looking forward to:
Fumofflu (Full Metal Panic! s2)
Green Green
Popotan (soon! hahaha)
Ai Yori Aoshi s2
Well, as my new thread states, I've started buying the Wild Arms DVDs. I love old west stuff, I love Sci Fi stuff, and I love Fantasy stuff. It's like God's smiling on me.
They're making a second series for Full Metal Panic?! SOmebody pinch me! I'm so happy!

I just finished watching all of Cyborg 009. The third series. One made in 2001. It's stories come directly from the legendary manga by Ishninomori. Very sad series :( The last episode makes Cowboy Bebop's ending look like Johnny Carson's last episode of the Tonight Show.
Also, a first for an anime, I beleive, in the two specials that continue where the manga left off (as Ishninomori had died), they start off with a character from the anime talking to Ishninomori!!!! And it had relevance to the story. They were talking about the future of Cyborg 009. Pretty cool episode.
Well, HK DVD's of "A Beautiful World" are starting to roll out. I've been waiting to see this one. Looks like a gun drama ala' Cowboy Bebop and Noir. But I'll wait for a complete gatefold of it.
Also, on that line, Sonic X and Ninja Scroll discs are coming out, too. I don't know how many episodes they are though, so I may have a while to wait for a complete set ^_^
I don't know what to order next. I'm thinking maybe another Gundam series (Double Zeta is next on the list, or I have been dying to finally see Turn A.) Maybe I could go Vision of Escaflowne, since I haven't seen the series in a while. So many HK DVDs, so little time (and money) ^_^
