I just finished watching Paranoia Agent and it was... weird. Its not your conventional anime and is recommended if you've become bored of the same old fighting / school romance type anime.

Done with Full Metal Alchemist and Scrapped Princess.

Both good, the latter a little slow on action but sports a nice story.

Had 5x corrupt eps of Alchemist, including the end 51 so that was a little blind.

FMA is brilliant.

I kinda watcheverything I have so I am waiting for my other DL's to finish got about 80 GB worth that is scheduled. Gonna take some time.

So what have I watched recently. How the grass grows. Verry nice. Done by some or other unknown director that is a tad green under the collar but the visuals and conceptual styles are terrific. The story is a bit slow and the movie runs for a couple of years non stop but further than that a must see for the whole family. :)

Not a post since Apr?

Anyway, I finished FMA and Trigun.
Very good shows. They sud hav made Trigun's last ep a bit longer.
Thou I like Vash, he cried just a tad bit too much for me. Hope he got laid by Milly in the end...


MINOR SPOILERT ALERT



FMA's ending was appropiate but it felt bitter sweet somehow...prob coz they got seperated in the end. The younger brother can't remember anything since the "revival" of their mum right? (in the last ep that is)

Currently watching GTO now

The series was cut short. There's a movie that concludes it.

I'm hoping they conclude it properly with them both getting home.

Bru, that's actually one major spoiler mate. Make it white or small or something.

Someone spending 20 hours watching FMA will get upset when he reads that.

Answering your question though, no.

True..the ending felt a bit unfinished.

Do u guys also feel Trigun's ending sud hav been a bit longer? Or maybe i feel this way coz Vash's reunion with his brother was so short?

Sorry about the spoiler there.

You need to fix that quote too, SoulBlade.

Don't spoil FMA for me. I plan on watching it next.

I finished Soul Society on Bleach. It was done pretty well but with abit more providence and tact, it would been much more impressionable. Tell me, is from after the Soul Society season fillers only, or is there some serious stuff too?

I just watched Onegai Twins.
A bit too mushy for me.

I'm busy watching RahXephon. Pretty cool so far. I believe there is a movie a well. Can anyone confirm this?

Onegai Twins was nice.

When Raphxephon was released, there was this interesting rumour that it is a NGE clone. There was even this video showing how the two intro's are exactly the same. (or perhaps it wasn't Raphxephon)

The two are pretty similar... although alot of meccha anime seem very similar.

If RahXephon is a NGE clone I'd be surprised.
I'll let you know when I get to the end. If after the last episode of RahXephon I am left feeling confused and cheated by a ridiculous ending, then maybe I'll say it was a NGE clone.

Nope, sorry ZeroS, Bleach goes down a bit after Soul Society, although these fillers aren't actually fillers per se, it's a new chapter, but not as good. It will get to the Soul Society thing again. That chapter aint closed and I had a feeling from what I've seen up to # 89, it's already getting close to leading thereto.

Personally I'll wait a while before watching more.

Anyway, I just watched Aeon Flux and what a bunch of rubbish that was.

I did enjoy two things about it though.

The first when my finger found the FFWD button and the second when it found the eject button.

Seriously, have I purchased instead of rented this crap I would have thrown it away.

Aeon Flux looked boring, but one movie I do wanna see is V for Vendetta. It seems pretty interesting.

Too bad for Bleach. Maybe I should make an anime.

Technically that's one acronym.

But I have to agree with you.
Both the anime and the manga are total rubbish.
