I have finished 4 series in one week. Must be some sort of record. XD But then I have been seeing them for a little while.
-A Little Snow Fairy Sugar-A mostly cute and lighthearted series. It started out alright but then felt very mediocre until the last few eps. Then it got better. I really liked the ending, and the special was also great. Glad I saw it, it was pretty good. Not stand out, but worth a watch.
-Fruits Basket: Well worth its hype and popularity. It has earned its spot on my top 10 series of all time. Hilarious, heart warming, uplifting, sad, dramatic, romantic, you name it, this series is excellence. Fantastic characters in a wonderful slice of life story.
-Saikano: Dang, this series is SO depressing. A beautiful and touching but very sad tale of romance in incredible hard times. This series was depressing start to finish, but it was still excellent. Though good luck watching it without it depressing you a while after. The only anime so far that I've seen that's in its league for depressing anime is Grave of the Fireflies, for similar yet different reasons.
-Peacemaker: This was all in all a decent series. Not one to write home about, but worth seeing. I really got sick of the constant electric guitar BGMs (frankly half the BGMs stunk, alot of it even sounded synthesized, which I hate. Some of it was good though, thankfully), and I really do not care for the opening or ending. None of it suits the era or tone of the show. The eps on the last disc also used way too much 3D. I also felt like it really didn't go anywhere for a long time. The last few eps however got more interesting. The show was never outstanding, but it's good, and like A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, it grew on me over time.
Soon I will see the Giant Robo Ginrei Special, and then I will start Wolf's Rain, which I am very excited about seeing.
