Watch List, the anime edition

[kjpepper]

Godannar (mostly cause I already started it with bluewindkitsune ages ago)
Kimagure Orange Road (This has been one of harinezumi's favorites since I don't know when, and I keep meaning to watch it.)
.hack//Sign (saw an episode here and there when it was running on Adult Swim)
Fruits Basket (another ancient recommendation that I never got around to watching)
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (yeah I know, shut up, I like it. I know, I'm strange. I figure if it's that fucked up in English, it's got to be even more bizarre in Japanese...)

Need to rewatch, preferably with company:
Revolutionary Girl Utena (mostly because Ultimate Destiny Apocalypse killed me every single time.)
Serial Experiments Lain (want to see if it makes my brain hurt as much as it did the first time)
Cowboy Bebop (just cause it's awesome.)
Rurouni Kenshin (but just seasons 1 and 2. and speaking of which, need to buy the rest of the manga.)

I am taking/would like suggestions on what to add to this list *pretends to not look directly at harinezumi*. I tend to like stuff that's either fantastical and/or completely and utterly fucked up, and not so much the Dragonball Z/Naruto type stuff. Score by Kanno Yoko and Seatbelts don't hurt none either. ;)

Did Jeff email you about Anime? He's going to Anime Boston next weekend...he'll bring us back stuff if we ask. HUGS.

actually no he didn't. I wouldn't know what to ask for though, as I'm not up on anything that's come out in the last 2 years.

Well, you could send him the text of this post...he'll bring us girly romance if we don't guide him more. :-P

If you're on a giant robot kick, I also recommend checking out Gurren Lagann. It's made of win, hot blood, and kicking reason to the curb.

KOR is the show that turned me into the crazed fanboy I am today, though your enjoyment of it will be directly proportional to your love for the 80's and tolerance for shounen romantic comedy. It's kinda hard to get nowadays, since the US license for it has expired a couple of years back. Live-eviL is currently re-fansubbing it, so your best bet for getting it would probably be to haunt their IRC (or asking to borrow my DVDs ^^).

.hack//SIGN is slow as molasses but very pretty and has one of my favorite soundtracks ever.

In general, I recommend checking out Honey and Clover, Ouran High School Host Club, and anything made by Satoshi Kon (Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent, and Paprika). If you're looking for something fantasy-ish, I recommend Seirei no Moribito.

I'm pretty interested in seeing Samurai Champloo (sp?). It's by the same guys who did Cowboy Beebop, so it's got to be good.

As usual Goddannar gets my vote. It's fucking righteously good. and a Good relationship Anime too..

I have the entirety of both Escaflowne (fantasy mecha) and Lodoss War (1st edition D&D) if you want to borrow. For some reason my mind is totally blanking on other stuff I've seen outside Adult Swim - the OLD Adult Swim. Outlaw Star was pretty fun. And if you want to see something fucked up come out of some kid's head every episode, FLCL.
