I am highly dissatisfied. I cannot find the second half of D. Grayman anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it?

It's really weird, but it turned out to be a good show. I enjoyed it a ton. I need to find the last few episodes somewhere, because it doesn't look like Hulu is going to get any more of it, which is a huge shame.

Finally finished Toradora! Gosh, I think I started it last summer? It took me so long because I was busy, though, not because I didn't like it! I ended up really loving it. I had heard that some people didn't like the ending, so I was prepared for disappointment, but . .

[spoiler] I thought the ending was quite realistic, actually. Taiga and Ryuji were still in high school, after all, so them having to be apart for a year didn't seem like a big tragedy to me, especially since the ending made it clear that they did stay together. Now, if they'd ended up breaking up and living their lives apart forever, THAT would have disappointed me! [/spoiler]

I'd give this series 9/10, or maybe 9.5/10, just because I'm really picky about what I give a 10.

Almost done with Utena.

Started watching Cowboy Bebop now that AS has put it in a reasonably accessible time slot for me. So I'm enjoying that.

Out of this season I'm following:
My Little Monster.
Magi.
Girl und Panzer.
Discussion in the other thread(s).

Watched 08th MS Team: Miller's Report, which pulled bits and pieces from the first eight episodes (but mostly the last few). It wasn't quite as exciting as I thought, nor did it have as many big new revelations as I had been led to believe it did. Which wasn't a whole lot anyway, after I found out it was a recap/clip show movie. The new scenes didn't have much in the way of action, just a couple tense moments used to extract [s]the next clip[/s] a flashback from the characters. If I ever go back to 08th after I'm done here, I'm'a just skip over this one; it isn't quite worth it.

I've been burning through episodes of Glass Mask. The first couple of episodes were weird and uncomfortable, but it's gotten to be extremely enjoyable and difficult to stop.

Ga-Rei:Zero ep 1 -Wow haha what a spectacular case of misdirection.

Ga-Rei:Zero ep 2 -Are they are some kind of time loop? Oh wait never mind.

Ga-Rei: Zero ep 3, 4 -Okay here we go main story now I guess.

The anime is non-Chronologically told.
The chronological order of the episodes is

I figured as much. It's pretty clear from the beginning of episode 3. What I meant by "main story" is [spoiler]well we've seen the "end" now so let's find out how the characters got there.[/spoiler]

Just got through the first 15 episodes of Full Moon wo Sagashite. I'm really digging this show.

Postby **A_Yellow_Dress** » Tue Oct 30, 2012 9:20 pm

Enjoying Kimi ni Todoke when I have time for something other than currently airing shows. I'm not really sure why; I just felt like watching a shoujo romance. (Shouldn't I be watching horror or something for Halloween? I must subconsciously fear romantic plots. XD) Oh well, it's sweet to watch a story about two nice people falling in love.

And I love the opening and ending.

Watching Darker than Black. I made it into the second season and it's all "what the heck is going on?" all over again (just like the beginning of the first season). I'm not sure whether I like that or not.

Postby **eightluvver888** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 2:00 pm

^if you don't want to be totally confused through the whole second season, watch Gaiden first. They aired it after season two, but it's chronologically between seasons. There's no real point to watching season two before that...

After all, there has to be a reason that Hei[spoiler]turned into a child-slapping jerk[/spoiler]

Postby **Zeldafan2** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:14 pm

I've been a bit slow on my anime-watching lately, but so far, I'm on episode 24 of Galaxy Railways. The characters are very well developed, (which isn't suprising for Leji Matsumo), but trains in space....

Ah. Thanks for the info. I was unaware of the OVAs.

Might it just be that they wanted to recreate the feeling that the first season had (an unknown history about Hei and who was on what side, etc)? I mean, I figured that eventually I would get to find out about the interim period, but is some of the suspense mitigated by watching Gaiden first? If so, I'm not sure I want to go that route. What do you think?

Utena was fantastic.

Well, I've officially stopped watching Naruto. I've realized the show is never going to end, and besides the way my schedule works, I need to give up something. So, Naruto is the something I'm giving up.

Whoa. That's major. I'm highly impressed.

Ef - a tale of memories eps 1-4- Well.... It's visually interesting. Unsure of how I feel story-wise, though.

Postby **Neane** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 12:08 pm

The Source material for ef - a tale of memories is an awesome visual novel, but Shinbo had no right to butcher it the way he did with the anime adaptions.

Howl's Moving Castle - Never get tired of this one

Bleach is my primary one right now. I had honestly forgotten how good it is.

I've heard great things about the series, so I am a little surprised by how indifferent I am towards it. I think I'll have to check out the VN after I'm done.

Just finished (and reviewed) Toradora!
Am I the only one who was reminded by Ryuji and Taiga of Kinji and Aria from Aria: the Scarlet Ammo?

Postby **Neane** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 10:51 pm

Five Star Stories.
(Oh and yes: The person on the left is a guy.)

Normally when I watch bad 80's OVA's I put them in the "bad, unintentionally hilarious" category (Good Examples would be: MD Geist and Angel Cop)
but...BUT

THIS

AWFUL

THING

I would put it in the "MAKE THE MEMORIES GO AWAY GAAHHHH" along with Psychic Wars (May God have mercy on your soul if you ever encounter it) and Dog Soldier: Shadows of the Past (Quite possibly the Worst. Anime. Ever. Made.) and Roots;Search

[font="Trebuchet MS"][SIZE="4"][color="RoyalBlue"]I'm doing a bit of freestyle reviews for my blog this month--pretty much whatever I see on the shelf that I feel like watching and reviewing.

First up on the list is "Eden of the East"![/color][/SIZE][/font]

They're the same voice actors, and the same animation studio.

I've just started Hell Girl, and I think I'm in for a treat. I can tell that it's going to be ripe for theological themes that can be applied to Christian life.

Don't let the truth set you free, send your soul to hell in exchange for a short, peaceful (yeah right) life on earth.

Witch Hunter Robin is also heating up. My Mom and I are on episode 19 and it's been an excellent series thus far!
