I've just watched finish Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It was an anime I liked, surprisingly, despite all the mecha-action. The characters were likeable (especially Simon, he was really cute, and the way he grew and changed throughout the series was quite well played out). There were insanely funny moments (most involving Kamina) and heartbreakingly touching moments (again, most involving Kamina). The animation was crisp most of the time (I <3ed Nia's hair) and the seiyuus did a moderate job imo. Oh, and the various catchphrases were quite awesome in their own right, 'Who the hell do you think I am?!' lol. It was an anime that was worth watching, imho. 8/10
Romeo X Juliet was another anime I picked up (after stopping halfway two years back) to finish up last week. I was glad I did so, because the ending was epic (though it might've been better) and really pulled at one's heart. One thing I didn't really like though, was how the animation staggered from good to mediocre so frequently in the whole run of the series. At some points, it wasn't really that well animated (especially in the middle episodes). BUT, I loved the interactions between Romeo and Juliet. It was very cute and heartwarming. Oh, and I was surprised that the ending wasn't the same as the original play. The bgm was beautiful too~ It isn't a must-watch, but hopeless romantics would probably <3 this anime. There were also some awesome fighting scenes too. 7/10
