    So let's start this conversation with the new season and thoughts of it since it's already started :p

    /in before netto

    Also, Yamada beat Tenshi in the Saimoe Tournament!
     
    Nice thread.

    I never read D. Gray Man, but I watched the anime, almost. It was too long for me, so I took a break from it, and hopefully, will pick it up again someday.

    I am currently reading Bakuman, and will watch the anime once its subbed, presumably tomorrow.


    I heard of Parasyte. Isn't it like from the 90s?
     
    Watched one episode of D. Gray Man and wasn't interested. I don't know why though, D. Gray Man has great reviews.

    Weird manga I last read was Mirai Nikki, wtf, everyone keeps dying there. But good stuff.

    But the last weird anime I watched was Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and MM!, talk about weird series.
     
    I like this a lot better than the other thread, good work whoever suggested it.

    Anyway, promising start to the season. Sora no Otoshimono: Forte, MM! and Pokemon Best Wishes have already kicked off with good episodes.

    I'm most eagerly awaiting Shinrei Tantei Yakumo as it's manga counterpart is one of my all time favourites. Yakumo Saitou is a badass.

    Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai is another that might be ok although i haven't really read up on it at all.

    Haha. I watched that as well. Some actually liked it, though it wasn't that bad, it was too weird for me.

    MM! was exceptionally great, and Iron Man sucked. I am really waiting for Psychic Detective Yakumo and Bakuman. Some others too.
     
    How the heck did I miss this thread?

    Ah, yes, I actually read Parasyte a few months back. Pretty interesting stuff, though I got involved with other stuff and forgot to continue reading it.

    Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge starts tomorrow, and I am seriously anticipating it. The first season surprised me and managed to climb its way to my top 5; I hope this season won't disappoint. More Nino would be appreciated.

    Yes, the art style is also 90's like :P

    Well, I have a ton of other manga to read plus school so yeah...

    Anyways I am also keeping up with Bleach and Fairy Tail. :3
     
    I got lost in Bleach :( I don't know where I reached exactly, and I really do not want to repeat any episodes I might have missed.

    Some of my friends recommended I watch FT. It looks promising, considering the good reviews on MAL and the amount of episodes so far.

    I want to watch Clannad, but from the reactions, feelings people have when finishing it, I am not so sure anymore.
     
    I don't have the patience to keep up with those longer series, lol.

    Anyway, I'm currently catching up on series that I had previously dropped due to a dwindling DVD budget. Right now it's the second season of Ah My Goddess, which Funimation has streaming (and I've watched) up to episode 19. The remainder of the season should be up within the next one to two updates on Funi's site.
     
    The only long series I'd consider keeping up with is probably Fairy Tail, though I'm already too far behind on that one too. I

    Feelings? What kind of feelings? I'm curious. It's a pretty depressing show towards the end for sure, though it's a drama afterall.
     
    Sad ones. If you did watch it, wouldn't you say so? All my friends practically cried. So, yeah, THOSE after feelings or whatever.

    I cried a couple of times during the After Story. Still my my favourite anime of all time. Honestly it's worth the feeling a little down to see such a great story.

    I'm up to date in the Bleach anime but it's annoying me a bit as each episode has so little content. I'm pretty sure i'll switch to the manga before long.

    Fairy tail looks ok, i'm watching too much at the minute so it will probably be one i go to later on.
     
    I watched like the first 14 episodes of Fairy Tail in anime club during the last semester, but I haven't had the time to continue it since. Bleach has been an on and off thing, basically whenever I manage to catch it on Adult Swim.

    There are some shorter series that I want to watch first before committing myself to a longer-running one.
     
    I have never been a fan of the mainstreams, to be honest; too many fillers. I like anime that run for 24 to 26 episodes, and that's it. A second season of the same length is bearable, but nothing more really. Though I am starting to like Fairy Tail a lot nowadays.

    Like Lapras above, there were several moments in Clannad that got to me as well; however, I wouldn't say it was a negative experience by any means. I think if a story can be gripping enough to get people to feel strongly about it, then it's doing something right.

    I usually cap the shows I'd like to watch at about 30 episodes or less, unless it's separated into seasons that can be finished one at a time without feeling disrupted (ex. Full Metal Panic, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei). I occasionally make exceptions for things that get unusually great reviews, though.
     
    I might try it out, eventually, when I finish watching the Summer anime I missed or continue the ones I dropped. :\

    I need to go now. Have a nice day/night, everyone. Take care.
     
    AM I THE ONLY ONE EXCITED FOR OREIMO

    Anyway, I'm not even closed to finished with all the crap I started for Summer 2010 so I don't real know how many series I want to start. I'll probably end up dropping HOTD. lol.
