got given a Korean copy of Howls Moving Castle (short version, my mother befriended a Korean woman and her kids, and they visit pretty regularly and they just got back from a break in Korea).

Was kind of unusual watching a Japanese cartoon in Korean with English subtitles. Good fun though, but not Miyazaki or Ghibli's best.

Don't thunk I've mentioned them here but Bodacious Space Pirates and Polar Bear Cafe have been two of my favourite shows of recent series. Neither are that substantial in terms of plot but both are light hearted and fun and the name says most of what the shows are about.

Coming to the end of our Evangelion rewatch, and just "finished" on episode 24. It's been a while since I first saw it, but I remember episodes 25 and 26 being completely bonkers, and were retold via the movie, all of which we're gonna nail on thursday.

Also, I've only just found today on Amazon that they've actually started doing 26-episode season sets of One Piece -- for £15 each! Region 1, mind, but that's pretty amazing isn't it? Snapped up the first one

Not been keeping up with current anime for a few years (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood being the last one I was looking at), but I am currently squeeing like a Japanese schoolgirl at Avatar:Legend of Korra. OK, strictly-speaking not anime, but damn it it is fantastic.

I'm well behind, only just picked up season 1 of Avatar -- I really need to crack on with it - I hear it's all kinds of awesome though!

Okay, I just watched End of Evangelion again, for the first time since about 2005. I said it then, and I'll say it again now... What the bloody hell was all that about? I mean, avant garde is one thing, but sweet jesus, I thought the original 25/26 made slightly more sense!

Gonna have to wait and see what the Rebuild of Evangelion does with the third incarnation of the ending...

Friend just bought something like 30 movies and 20 boxsets.. so I have recently been watching

Akira, Redline and Full Metal Alchemist. Also a bit of a really poo post-apocalyptic series (with robots and no people) which is named for the central character; and despite everyone saying his name like a gazillion times all the way through the first episode, I cannot remember it.

But FMA is awesome, and I quite enjoyed Redline.

I want to know what this is now :X

Watched Madoka Magika which is incredible. It took a while to grow on me but I ended up watching it through in one sitting.

Similarly, Persona 4 the Animation, good stuff and follows the plot of the game quite well. Also good for people who know nothing of the series though it may seem strange at times.

re-watching Berserk and wishing that it continued onto the next arc of the manga. the other day i bought black lagoon on blu ray as a replacement for my dvd's which seem to be dying a slow painful death from over use

Netflix has the entire Robotech series on it, which I am steadily digesting.

It was my first real taste of anime back when I was in the states in the late 80s, and has been bubling along in the background for yonks, (badly cut VHS compilations, RPG, novels etc).
This was my first chance to see the whole thing from scratch to finish.
Very interesting seeing the different series grabbed and chopped to fit with the overall continuity.

I'm very interested to check out the original Macross series, and the original base series from which the second and third generations were ripped from.

Watching Anime is favorite entertainment source. I watched a lot of shows. But currently i am watching One Piece. I must say its really a nice. I use to watch on Motion Empire. A nice place to watch it.

To Terra, Darker than Black, and Seirei no Moribito are my current selections out of this season. If what I hear about Bokurano is true, it may be added to the list as soon as I have a chance to watch some.

Re: What are you currently watching?
 
Week to week I follow Naruto (when it isn't filler), Fairy Tail and One Piece.

I'm diving back into sporadic episodes of GITS, though. It's still, hands down, one of my favourite anime series (including the films).

In the last few weeks I've watched Desert Punk, Dance in the Vampire Bund and 5 Centimeters Per Second.

This sounds suspiciously like Casshern Sins. Watched the first volume. Despite some very pretty and interesting artwork and animation, was actually very disappointed. Story was lacklustre, and most of the characters were completely unlikeable or almost impressively bland

Not sure how I managed it, but I somehow quoted the wrong post. I feel I'm gonna end up smashing my pc, or burning it

If you're talking about the show which I was asking about (robots, post appocalypse, bland chars) you're probably right

It's a little bit exhausting, which helps that the episodes are only 11 mins apiece, but yeah it's right up my alley in terms of the OOT freneticness of it all -- and I thought the localisation team did a sterling job with the dub.

Have you ever seen Dead Leaves? It's very reminiscent of P&S, which is apt, because I discovered it was done by the same director.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and it is brillent. a total dysconstruction of the magical girl genre

Absolutely loved the show. The writing and thought put intot he whole premise.... its pretty much something you have to watch

Re: What are you currently watching?
 
Madoka surprised me with how good it was. I knew people were ravingabout it but I didn't know why or what about it made it special. Its one you can see how its different and distinct from others in the genre, but it doesnt really come into its own for a few episodes.

After avoiding anime for a while (I got sick of people finding out I'm half-Japanese and immediately asking "Do you watch anime? I love Bleach and Naruto!!") I've caved and started watching Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann on a friend's recommendation. So far, so pleasingly insane.

Absolutely fantastic series, just keeps getting more & more ott! If you enjoy it, I recommend Gun X Sword (apologies if you've already seen it

Last anime I watched was Perfect Blue. Classic mind **** film that I definitely have to watch again to get everything.

The cover on the back says "If Disney and Hitchcock had worked together, this movie would have been the result". There's definitely some truth in it ;)

Watched Eden of the East again recently. I'd almost forgotten how good that series is! Amongst my mates I'm the only one who actually enjoys the ending though
