    So I watched Nazca and it turned out to be butt. The Incan fantasy angle could really have worked out to something cool, but this is yet another example of the anime where all the characters are reincarnations of legendary beings blah blah blah you can guess immediately which will be good and/or bad.

    [interesting character designs + interesting music] - awful fucking story = 4 wasted hours of my life

    The best part of Nazca was that it was in Malcom in the Middle's opening.

    Kekkaishi 10 : another cake episode. For some reason the combination of demon hunting and cake cracks me up.

    I remember watching the first VHS volume of Nazca.

    I liked it.

    Dammit now I got to find the OP...

    It's -so fucking bizarre.- I got a friend watching it though and he's all caught up with the raws. Next eps are an arc about one of the dogs and I'm told is good stuff.

    I just started watching Ergo Proxy again. Is it me, or does the animation and art get worse at about episode 7 and onwards?
    I'm either just delusional or highly jaded.

    400-500 year old spirit dogs, that's some good stuff right there.

    Manabi Straight is sooooo freakin cute. I wasn't sold on the first ep, but episode 2 was fantastic. Also, the next episode previews are really stylish. OP is not so hot, though.

    I didn't notice a dip in the animation quality, but I did notice a considerable dip in the quality of the story. Dark future, great designs, abandoned lonely cities, hottest girl (aside from Haruhi), Radiohead tune, this should have been like the greatest anime of the past 5 years. Instead it went straight to 'meh'.

    Today's 'playing catch up' will include: Arion, Nasu: Summer in Andalusia, Nitaboh and Metal Fighter Miku.

    Send your warnings in advance plz.

    Continuing my Azumanga daioh watching, I have come to the 23rd episode and finding it funny and it follows that very well. Osaka is still the best character in the episodes.

    Manga Run today and I got: Get Backers 7 & 8, Fruit Basket 5 & 6, Battle Vixens 5 & 6, Read or Die 3 & 4 and Suikoden III 6 & 7.

    Since Read or Die is finished, I was wondering if I should pick up Chibi Vampire. Any idea on how this manga is?

    The Best was

    "Americans wear shoes in the house don't they? Then what if the boy steps in dog poop and walks around the house? What if the mother, father and sister stepped on it too?"

    I also like the Osaka Chiyo-Chan dreams. The mini Chiyo-chans were hilarious.

    There is just sooo much osaka goodness. From her speculative research on Chiyo-chan's hair style to running the obstical coruse in one of the sports dealies. Elevators.

    honestly, I just love the hell out of the whole series.

    @Death Note 17

    I am so confused.

    What is going on in here?

    God damn mindfucks.

    [spoiler:57bdd084bd]It'll be a funny oh snap moment when Light realizes he's Kira. Or is that his plan all along? So confused.[/spoiler:57bdd084bd]

    This will become clear, don't worry about it. It sounds similar to what he did in the manga.

    This is vague enough that it shouldn't spoil anything, but just in case (re: deathnote 16):

    [spoiler:640a8dcbc6]I understand your confusion. I really didn't expect Light to do what he did in 16; obviously (I think) it'll get back to "normal", but given that Ryuk isn't loyal to Light at all I'm not sure how.[/spoiler:640a8dcbc6]

    pretty bad.

    Don't like the style much. Like, charactures almost of the characters kinda. Whiny crying kid. There is sooooooo much plot to deal with, and the first episode didn't move too quickly. The OP was just horrible, and I have so many fond memories associated with les mis... I wanted to cry.

    just horible.

    I'm still going to try to watch it, but... well... it is not what I would have hoped for, given the source material.
