Lol, I never watched the anime, but I've read a lot of the manga, and it's pretty hilarious :thumb:

[spoiler] Yeah, so Ushio dies, then...how in the world is that robot Tomoya? I guess the world got redone, yet Tomoya and Nagisa still remember everything. So the world where Nagisa and Ushio die was just an experience or lesson for Tomoya to learn or something?

Anyhow, with all the character development Tomoya's gone through, he's turned from a pranky, rebellious teenage boy who doesn't like his life to a loving caring father who appreciates it. That's a LOT. *applauds*[/spoiler]
That...was a good anime.
Oh wait! There's an extra...

Now, I should really watch the OVA's because I never did...


Lol, I never watched the OVAs, but maybe I should have? THe anime was amazing enough without then for me.

[spoiler]Yeah, the end was really confusing. I think it was mostly the idea of Tomoya learning what was important in life. For the point of Nagisa's death to Ushio's death he changes A LOT, which I think is what the point was. I king of thought of all his struggled being how he "gathered all the lights" that created the miracle needed at the end. The main thing he had to accomplish was removing his idea of "I never should have met her" towards Nagisa, which he did (In my absolute FAVORTIE scene of the anime :) ). I think at that moment he gathered "the last of the lights" or whatever the create the miracle. [/spoiler]

That's what I gathered anyway :) Pretty much an unbeatable anime in the emotional area. It made me cry so much :sniffle: But I loved it so much too, lol.

Anyway, I've been watching Kemono no Souja Erin with my younger sister. Episode 35 or something I think... Very cute and very good characters and plot for a 'kid's anime' :)

[SPOILER]The lights aren't just a conceptual thing, but are actually concrete objects that Tomoya's collecting throughout the entire anime. You can see them accumulating in the title card of each episode. The list of lights is: Misae, Tomoyo, Yukine, Kyou, Kappei, the Sunohara siblings, Kotomi, Koumura-sensei, Sanae, Yoshino, Tomoya's dad, Fuko, Ibuki-sensei, and Akio. The arcs for Koumura, Akio, and Kappei aren't in the anime. But also notice that Tomoya can't get some of the lights until after Nagisa dies.[/SPOILER]

Digimon Xros Wars II ep. 3 - good episode. I like the idea of old characters from Xros Wars coming back and being amnesiac and evil. That should prove to be fun and give us an excuse to see old characters. Still waiting for Damemon to come back. I'm hoping he will be back next episode.

Kimi to Boku ep. 3 - I am really liking this show. It is fun and cute. The new character was a nice add on and doesn't feel forced. I hope that this show continues to be good and we get some actual moving romance that doesn't leave us with a "maybe" at the end.

Guilty Crown ep. 1 - Yeah I am pretty much in agreement with everyone on this one. Nice to look at but not much as far as plot goes. Cliche plot is cliche. It is interesting enough to keep me going though. Of course I am the same person that will watch Gundam simply because it is Gundam.

Gundam AGE ep. 2 - Speaking of Gundam...this episode was a little more interesting because of the whole conspiracy going on. This new girl is interesting with whatever weird power she has. Plus...its Gundam and what else do you need. :grin:

Mirai Nikki ep. 2 - This show is interesting...weird...but interesting. I am liking it and I hope it gets better. It still is on a fairly good but not great slope.

Black Butler Been watching a lot of this. I am getting close to the end. Its been a lot of fun. The show really picked up from its beginning. I was kind of meh about it at first but now I really like it.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann I just started watching this show. I am really liking it! Its a lot of fun and is nice to just watch as a fun not deep anime.

I'm watching The Wallflower and Code Geass.
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7

BOLD/ITALIC shows are shows I just started this week. (Since last Friday till now) (except for Eureka Seven)
BOLD are shows I had already started and are on-going watches for me.

Eureka Seven: 46 episodes left out of 50 (I'm on episode 5)
Started this show awhile back, kinda lost interest and now I'm picking it back up again, Renton is so cute/funny.
Full Moon : 42 episodes left out of 52 (I'm on episode 11)
Still dragging on this one, hoping things pick up in the plot soon, or I'm gonna drop it.
G Gundam : 41 episodes left out of 49 (I'm on episode 9)
[spoiler]Wow, who knew Domon was so mean at first! (I've previously watched random episodes later on in the series where Domon was nicer, so starting it from the beginning has definitely given me a bigger picture about him)[/spoiler]
I'm still liking it, great stuff.
Chihayafuru: 24 episodes out of 25
Didn't think I was going to start this show, but then so many of you were raving about it that I decided to see what the big hub-bub was about, and it is definitely interesting, I like the art style. Storyline is a bit unique as well, which is nice.
Moribito: 24 episodes left out of 26
Ooo, I'd been wanting to check out this show for awhile, really liking it. Go Balsa, go! :P
Toradora!: 24 left out of 25
Wow, slapstick humor for sure. Hahaha.
Durarara!!: 20 episodes left out of 26.
Wasn't really sure I was going to like this, really liking it now. It's so mysterious and suspenseful and I like that.
Kimi to Boku: 10 episodes left out of 13
Kinda slow-paced so far, but I like it. The characters are definitely lovable.
Usagi Drop: 8 episodes left out of 11
Cute.
Yumeiro Pt 2: 6 episodes left out of 13
Definitely nowhere near as good as the first season, but still entertaining.
Lamune: 4 episodes left out of 12
Started off annoying me, but I'm starting to like it more, I want to know how it ends now. Haha.

Finished:
Angelic Layer. Cute show, it got a lot more deep and developed than I thought it would, which was a good thing. A very family friendly show, I enjoyed it. :)

Finished Gurren Lagann -
That was epic. Considering it was the first mecha anime I've ever watched (and I'm not really a robot kind of person), I was surprised I liked it. [spoiler] I suppose it was because it still had some sweet moments along with the action, mainly with Simon and Nia, but also some of Kamina and Yoko's scenes (Waaaah...Kamina! T.T)[/spoiler]

UN-GO - Episode 1
Hmmmm...Mystery isn't normally a genre I'd go for, but because it's Studio BONES and the director of FMA, I'm thinking it's gonna be good. I did like the first episode, and I'm waiting till Crunchyroll will let me watch the second.

Chi's Sweet Home is super cute and, well, super sweet. (Careful, you just might tear up a little in the end. ^_^)

Eureka Seven episodes 3? ? - 41.

Absolutely love it. I can't find one thing about it I don't like.
(Okay, I wasn't crazy about opening three or Norbu.)
Otherwise, excellent.

(I'm going to give this a nine out of ten no matter what, I might give it a ten out of ten depending on how it ends.)

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

Anyone else watching the 'Persona 4: The Animation' anime.

As of now it's only into three episodes and it's a bit rushed but it goes into deeper detail than the game ever could and running to be a great adaptation.

D.Gray-man episodes 17-20

Funfun. I think I would actually be content to watch a hundred episodes of Allen, Lavi, Kanda, and Komui just being themselves ._. Normally I would demand a more unified plot that wasn't so episodic...but I find that I don't mind at all.

And Crory (sp?) with all the vampire stuff is very fitting, because I've been reading about vampires in my literature class :B

I just watched the first two episodes of Chihayafura with my husband. I really liked it; he seems more hesitant, but admitted that it was well done. This is definitely one that I, at least, want to keep watching.

12 Kingdoms 6-10- More intrigue, more action, and more interesting. This builds slowly but well, with good characters and interesting situations. I'm still not thrilled with the English voice acting- the names are mispronounced and generally stiff.
