And I'm really surprised how good it actually is.
I like how it can't decide whether to be serious or silly, which I like.
I like the artstyle and the overal genre and how it keeps true to the legends' roots.
In other words, pretty interesting, and I can recommend it so far.
Interesting. One girl I used to know is obsessed with that but I was turned off by the vampire part of it. Maybe I'll actually watch it.

Wow, I started this like a week ago... And damn it's hillarious. I still haven't finished it because (for some stupid reason) I started minami-ke and Ben-to all at the same time.
I can reccomend Ben-to to pretty much anyone, it does (kinda like Kore wa zombie desu ka) a lot of cliché's in the anime but somehow pulls them off really well.

A Dark Rabbit has Seven Lives - quite interesting 3-way love triangle Anime series
Rosario+Vampire - A mistransferred human student into a monster academy, loved by female monsters lol
A Bridge to a Starry Skies - not sure what to say, I like it
Manga:
School Rumble Manga Vol. 15 & so forth
I'm kinda likin these Anime & Mangas.

I can actually recommend it very much.
It's good in a sense that it knows it's limmits and doesn't focus on Vampirism the entire time.
I'd say it has a bit of slice-of-life in it as well.
People say that Vampire Knight is aimed towards girls, even though I can agree with this, I still find it entertaining to watch.
But if you can't change your mindset to that of a girl I can imagine you could end up not liking this anime that much.

So lately I have recently found out a store that sells various Manga titles, I once checked out the aisle and saw a incredible amount of Mangas
In conclusion, I had bought the Volumes 1-5 of "Rosario+Vampire Capu 2", I'll still buy the rest when Money comes around
And the first 2 Volumes of "School Rumble" Season 1
And for Anime; I started watch a series called "Shuffle"

After taking a bit of time, I've finally gotten caught up on the D.Gray-man manga. I was really unsatisfied with the anime, so reading it definitely makes it that much better. I can't wait to start reading the next chapter that comes out near the end of this month, or hopefully comes out at that time.
I've also picked up Gantz as well for a manga. I literally have no idea what to expect from it. It's interesting from what I've read, but it's taken me a bit to get into from the 23 chapters I've blazed through.

Just started on Zero No Tsukaima recently. It was pretty annoying at the first few episodes. Things however got pretty interesting as the show progresses that I find it worthwhile watching. I've finished the first season today. Overall i had fun watching it. Now, i must watch the sequels and catch up with the current season airing. yeaaah.

Oh god. I just watched the first few episodes of Haré+Guu and...what the hell. I mean...just...oh what. I haven't seen anything that made my brain melt from insanity that much in...ever, probably. I mean...I can't even put it to words, just look at it yourself:
Yeah, okay, that only takes up about 5 minutes of the first episode and the rest of the show is relatively normal (at least as normal as a show containing gainaxing chest hair as a major plot point can be), but still. What.

Brilliant manga. I only got up to 228 and put it on hold for eternity but it gets really great around 110 (prewarning there).
I finally picked up To Love Ru Darkness after waiting patiently for an anime and it not delivering. I gotta say, I'm not disapointed.
Also; has anyone read Remote? my friend reccomended it to me but I'd like a second opinion on it before I actually get stuck into it.

I'm looking forward to To Love Ru, I'm planning on watching the anime of it soon =3
I've only seen veeeeeery nice stuff about it.
Right now I'm watching Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai, after a lot of nagging from Aqua, and me finally getting back into my anime routine after having watched Clannad twice in a row and a month or two in between.
I'm having mixed feelings about it so far.
It's pretty good, but not groundbreaking. My main complaint is that the anime feels very repetative and that the plot is not really moving an inch forward whatsoever.

Coincidentally, that's what i'm currently watching at the moment. Kinda reminds me of Ore No Imo. But with more cast and lulz. I guess for something not so serious it wouldn't really have that much of a plot. That's what i think so far.

As much as it being a guilty pleasure of mine (and sadly one of my favourite shows), I'd honestly reccomend the manga over the anime.
The anime seems to stray completely away from what the original manga intended and even attempts to shove a half written plot in there, where as the manga is (pretty much) plotless and is a lot more hilarious. (But the OVA and Season 2 follow the manga a lot closer)

I just finished watching Steins;Gate today. I think it takes the place for my favourite anime. I love the characters, the plot twists, and all the stuff about time travelling and John Titor and world lines was really neat. It's especially cool how the John Titor thing actually happened, at least in the sense that someone claimed to be a time traveller from 2036.
It really hit me on an emotional level too. Pretty much anything past episode 12 hit me hard. I'd say the ones that hit me the hardest would be episodes 12, 13, and 19.
I really like the opening and ending themes, and I like how they changed the lyrics of the opening theme for the last few episodes.
I haven't watched the OVA that came out yesterday, although I will once it's subbed. Also excited for the movie they are making, which apparently isn't some boring recap movie!
I would definitely recommend this anime, even though it can get quite sad at times, it's amazing IMO.
I've also been watching Cowboy Bebop for the past three weeks or so.
It's pretty awesome so far, I'd say my favourite things would be the animation and soundtrack. I don't know why, but I just really love the animation in Cowboy Bebop.
Edit: Just watched the OVA of Steins;Gate about 9 hours ago. It was cool, IMO not as good as most of the episodes though. The subs seemed to be kind of weird though, probably because it just came out. I used Steins;Sub for the actual series and CommieSubs for the OVA, and it seems like some of CommieSubs' translations are a little inaccurate I guess.
The ending of the OVA kind of bugged me though. It was obvious that they were going to do what they did in one of the last few episodes, but still, they in that episode, while in the OVA they didn't show any of that.

The OVA was subbed almost 2 hours after its release. I haven't watched it yet but a friend of mine told me it didn't disapoint (hopefully the movie will be out this year too).

I'll see whether I'll read it or watch it by the time I'll get to it then =D

I've recently started watching "Omamori Himari & Ichigo 100%"
Which both Anime have in common is the Girls falling in Love with the Main Characters...
So far both Anime have been alright and nothing too hasty about them.
As for Mangas...
I started reading GANTZ..but Volume 4..my friend brought to school and a week later bring 5 volumes for us to read during the school day.
But I haven't been willing to conitinue reading the Manga or watching the Anime..
I have however started my Collection on "Omamori Himari" which the only difference in the Manga/Anime is that the Female characters have a certain "Quote after each sentence"
And sadly the 7th Volume for Rosario+Vampire Capu 2 wont be released for the 16th of April 
And I bought the 1st volume of "The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan"
And 2 volumes of "High School of the Dead"

Recently finally got around to watching both Puella Madoka Magica and Death Note. I must say, they were amazing animes indeed! They most definitely deserve the hype I have seen given about them. ^_^
Oh yeah, also... *points to current avatar and title*
I like Near better than L. Feel free to murder me now. XP
The N in my title even links to Near's Theme, heh

I also finished Madoka Magica a bit ago and man...that ending. Like, I knew all along that it wasn't going to have a purely happy end, but I wanted one for those characters so badly after everything they had been though. I'm not disappointed or upset at the show, though, so don't take that the wrong way. It ended great. It just has a really bittersweet ending. |

I have finally watched Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica and Air.
Both animes were pretty good.
But Air was better in my oppinion.
Key is just an amazing producer of animes, I mean, Clannad, Angel Beats and now Air.
None of those have not given me an amazing ride.
loved it.

I feel like I'm the only person who loves Key but really didn't like Air... The whole bird part just annoyed me as if it was attempting to be touching when it really did nothing for me :/
Well, I was gunna post this earlier but I guess I forgot: One of my favourite OVA/ONA's is getting a full anime in winter Here's some info on the title itself (although admittedly not much at all). I'm really surprised Toei is going through with this (if you don;t know they are quite renown for having awfull animation(/habbits)), if you haven't seen the ONA and love all the metaphorical abstracty crap that usually comes from SHAFT and some pretty wacky and fun animation I highly reccomend it. Although I still have no idea about what the hell happens in it.
