Bleach: till episode 6x, don’t remember well. The fights are fun to watch.
Elfen Lied: completed. Loved the story and the characters.
Naruto: lost interest because it’s cheesy as hell to me.
Hellsing: almost no storyline, but again, the fights were fun.
Samurai Champloo: just began to watch. Cool fights.
Evangelion: forgot which episode I had to watch.
Full Metal Alchemist: just began to watch.
Berserk: depressing, but interesting.
Vampire Hunter D: not much storyline. Fun to watch anyway.
.hack//sign: completed. Loved it totally.The intriguing storyline kept me hooked for all the 26 and something episodes. There has not been an uninteresting episode. Loved the characters too. One thing: imo it ended too abruptly. They should have provided more explanations. It was like:
SPOILER - Click to view
Tsukasa went to Morgana, told it to go to hell, Aura awakened, and Tsukasa too. Tsukasa and Subaru meet IRL. The End. Everything in the arc of 43 milliseconds. They could have explained the whole deal about Harald, Morgana and Aura a little.
For those who care, Bleach has just left it’s filler saga. Starting at episode 110, they’re back in the manga arcs.
Naruto will be (FINALLY!) leaving it’s STUPID, STUPID filler arcs on February 15, coming back as Naruto Shippuden (Hurricane Chronicles) and continuing from where it left off at episode 135. Three years later, and Naruto et all are older and much stronger. From someone who’s been keeping up with the manga even though the fillers left me wanting more, and ultimately made me quit on the anime, it’s going to be very much worth watching.
The fillers weren’t that bad. I very much enjoyed watching all of the mini-adventures, and the some of the episodes were extremely funny. But I am looking forward to Naruto Shippuden.
Right down to it, whether you liked the filler arcs or not all depends on your taste in anime. Oh, and before I leave…

Killing all of the “Narutards” would be killing a lot of innocent people…
The Paprika thread also made me want to rewatch it (it’s been a while), but the latest my favorite latest anime I’ve been watching is Denno Coil. Some people have actually compared it to Ghibli material (interesting, no?) with Ghost in the Shell. That’s a pretty simplistic way of putting it, but…
Here’s an AMV to perk your interest (with major spoilers)
I finished watching Denno Coil some months ago.
If I remember right; lots of Ghibli people where working on it, but did not realize it trough Studio Ghibli becouse they have something against television-series.
My current favorite anime series have to be Rozen Maiden, and my favorite director is probably Satoshi Kon (though I weren’t that happy abut Paprika).
Nah, I’m a Miyazaki addict to be perfectly honest, as I said before I think you always have a ‘special connection’ with the first one/s you watch because they inspire you…as such
Blood+
Full Metal Panic? FUMOFFU
Hellsing
Full Metal Alchemist
Okay, Blood+ was an awesome facelift for stories involving vampires. I found myself hating Saya towards the end though, with her bigotted belief that all vampires had to be killed. I even wound up feeling sorry for Diva at the end. All she wanted was her vampiric kins’ right to exist, even if she was a total sadistic psycho-bitch. The whole plot had a very human bias that I didn’t like at all. Still a very good series. Loved it.
FUMOFFU was excellent! I totally loved the idea of a mercenary highschool student with no understanding of civilian life, using military hardware on bullies, thugs, & even teachers. Absolutely hilarious. You usually don’t get humor this good from an anime. It’s almost American-style laughs!
Hellsing is awesome. The tv series has a cool, jazzy soundtrack, & the OVA’s have good music and breathtaking animation. I thought the animation for the tv series sucked, although Alucard had a much more likeable personality there. The OVA’s just made him into a total jerk.
Only saw a couple epis of FMA. Cool idea that alchemy. Funny jokes too.
Death Note’s a great suspense, detective, strategy uh… thingy. L = instant classic. His style should be the new precendent for all future detective characters.
Oh, and one last thing… The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi sucked! I hated it. Just a bunch of good-natured kids entertaining some selfish little bitch. Their “investigations” consisted of them doing stuff that had nothing to do with the plot, and throwing whatever loose ends they were left with off to Haruhi’s reality altering abilities that she’s not aware of. I thought it was just bad.
