Heh, good point. The cliche response is I guess I'm not like most girls... I will try to explain it like this, say the show was about a more 'traditional' club with group of girls entertaining a bunch of drooling guys. Would that bother people more? If so, why? Because it's the same either way for me. I guess it's because I am viewing it from the perspective of how I would feel if I came across something like this IRL. I don't know if any of that makes sense but anyway. /over-analyzing

Ouran Ep 8
More over-analyzed disturbing things I don't feel like elaborating on now.

Ep 9
I like how Tamaki bounced back easily when the Zuka Club girls shut down his "welcoming speech".

I was laughing at how super dramatic the ladies where when announcing their club name and the twins reaction was hilarious.

It's cool that the leader girl immediately recognises that Haruhi is a girl.

Nazi joke? Wow, they really went there...

During the Zuka Club performance the Ouran students have the best "wat, I don't even" expressions.

This happened.

I died. Absolutely died.

Also, Hescafe

Ep 10
I didn't write down all the cool/funny things because I would basically be describing the whole episode.

P.E. sitting position.

One of the twins, I can't tell them apart, says his dad bought some red tea from Africa, I wonder if that's supposed to be rooibos, cause that would be cool.

I finished watching Glass Mask. The decision for the role was a good one. Would have liked the ending a lot better if it had tied up more loose ends.
Tonight, I also saw some Squid Girl, Night Raid, Persona 4, and Ultra Maniac.

That's one more than I knew about. Then again I only ever hang around the Anime section.

I agree. The whole show was messed up and didn't fit the previous show.

I watched an episode of Squid Girl, tonight. The little bamboo boat sequence was cute and fun.

Oh, and I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! Or a good ordinary day, if you live somewhere TG isn't celebrated today.

Finished watching Lovely Complex with my roommate - beautiful ending <3 ^_^

Also watched episode 2 of Clannad. WHY DO ALL THE GIRLS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME?!?!?!?! :eh: Really hard to keep them straight so far except for Nagisa, because they all seem to have varying shades of this weird mousy brownish/greyish/purplish color to their hair. Hopefully I'll get them straight soon. I did laugh out loud with...that one girl, named something, with the wooden star....

Tonight: Squid Girl (So funny how everyone tells Eiko their dreams... and how similar they are. *grin*), Steins;Gate (just started it; liked the first ep. a lot more than the first ep. of Chaos;Head, but not as much as Robotics;Notes), and Night Raid 1931 (which I'm enjoying). Good night.

Macross Frontier Ep 1-12 - I kinda accidentally marathoned half the show over the weekend. <('_')> Oooops. I really like it, though.

And then, of course, the latest episodes of whatever I'm following...Sakurasou, Sukitte ii na Yo, Kaibutsu-kun, Shin Sekai Yori, Tempest, Chuu2.
I still have to catch up on Kamisama Kiss and Little Busters, though...

I've almost finished Angel Beats! That is one seriously cool anime, with great heartstring pullers. I would recommend it to my mom, except that it has swearing in it.

Virtually none. It's the violence that might be an issue, since [spoiler]they're in a 'limbo' of sorts and can die over and over again. So they do. I wouldn't rate it over PG-13, though.[/spoiler]

Man. The more I hear about how great that show is, the more I dislike it. It was decent but really not that good >.> Very much needed 26 episodes.

Anycase, A Tree of Palme. I'm not collected in my thoughts on this one.

Oh, right. I guess I did read something about that and decide I probably wouldn't like it.

Anyway, tonight's viewing her: Squid Girl and Night Raid.

What moment might that be?
For the discussion on Angel Beats, I am a total sucker for heartwarming animes. I don't really pay attention to anything else.

Oh my gosh, I had that exact same reaction. I felt really sick about that and almost started to cry. Thankfully, it's the saddest part (for me, anyway).

That is what my brother said, and I hope he's right. That is something that is just off limits in most...So when it happens...:sniffle:

I finished Moyashimon which was really cool and wacky. I don't know if I'll start Moyashimon Returns right away though, especially because there seems to be an art shift and it might be too weird. Microorganisms are adorable and I love that ED.
