Really cold moments reminiscent of Elfen Lied but without it going overboard. Cool storyline and it was easy to enjoy the personality of the characters.

I highly recommend checking it out.

I'm pretty sure there's already a third season in production. I have a clue as to where they're going with it, but the second season pretty much finished it up. Still, I'm excited to see where this separate arc will go.

you like the horror with cute chick's as the baddies ehh?

It might just make me a little randay

Besides, there were plenty of cute chicks getting bashed in the head, having their fingernails ripped out, and their intestines pulled out

Not to mention tiny cute little girls impaling themselves in the neck with large kitchen knives

I know now it seems like you wanna stay far away from it now, but i *do* recommend it! :laugh:


lol i might have to check this out

i am rather surprised you haven't, the show made quite a splash last year.
only to be expected from an original that has a huge following.

Ahh, the monthly anime thread.

Good timing...I feel like getting into another anime as well. Haven't watched anything since Yakitate Japan.

Hoping to find something with a good story/characters and not the usual anime bullshit. Maybe something like Cowboy Bebop, that was my fav.

well then I can tell you I have enjoyed both shows. FWIW, the general consensus is that the prequel had a strong first half, and the sequel was quite good all throughout. The third series is currently in the making I believe.

This is for the OP, general recommendations for TVAs from 2008 broken down by the first day of airing (boded ones for particularly good)

January
Aria the Origination
Zoku Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei

H2O - Footprints in the Sand
True Tears
Wolf and Spice

April
Blassreiter
Real Drive
Tower of Druaga

Niju-Menso no Musume
Da Capo II Second Season
Wagaya no Oinari-sama

July
Hidamari Sketch x365
Koihime Musou
Maho Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora

October
ef - a tale of melodies
Clannad Afer Story
Kemeko Deluxe
Toradora!
Kannagi
Chaos;Head
Macademi Wasshoi
To Aru Majutsu no Index

If I had to pick 5, I'd go with Aria, Hidamari, ef, Clannad and Blassreiter.
I can't comment on couple shows that I heard good things about but havnt really watched (e.g. Strike Witches, Zettai karen, Eve no jikan)
must see OVAs include Lucky Star, Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi, Goku Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei and kara no kyoukai (well, the last one is a movie to be exact).

No mention of Detroit Metal City under OVAs? Ignore this person's recommendations!

I was thinking about starting to watch Real Drive since it has about 28-some episodes out right now... I'll have to make sure that I have them all first though .

Ohh this reminds me, I forgot to look for the new Fairy Tail chapter yesterday! >_<

seriously though..maybe grave of the fireflies.

so much anime is cr@p. even the stuff rated well tends to be pretentious matrix 2-3 type cr@p.
really not worth bothering with.

Rosario -- you didn't like the censorship??

Claymore -- couldn't agree more, it felt like the producers ran out of money and just had to stop.

Wolf and spice was interesting.

I got tired of Zero no tsukaima very fast.

I wanted to see it (DMC), really. Just gotta get this project finished at work and get done with my finals

yep, I definitely forgot Kurenai. I think I gained some more respect for Shintani Ryoko after this. the mini-opera episode was too damn funny.
