GOSICK - Awesome so far, definitely going to stick with it.
Freezing - Awful, trashy, reeks of fanboy pandering and looks to be every bad anime cliche rolled into a 12 episode series, but I'm tempted to keep watching on account of it being one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I've ever seen. :wacko:
BECK - Nearly finished with this series, I'll be sad to see it end. It's been really enjoyable.
Pretty much all anime is cliched; and the stuff that isn't is trying too hard to be original and new. Watching Kiddy Grade right now, probably going to start on Saiyuki soon.Quote:

Why don't you install K-Lite or some other codec pack?Quote:

I'm working on some stuff to review next month and already have 3/4 of said reviews done.
So, I'm gonna finish up with Romeo X Juliet since Hulu has the dub on as well.
VLC uses internal codecs unless you force system codecs; I have no idea about KMP since I've never used it. Video issues are quite annoying, I was going to use K-Lite 6.40 but it doesn't have older Real Media decoders and I can't play some of my stuff :\. I just finished Stigma of the Wind yesterday.Quote:

Planning to start up Maria†Holic next.
just finished FLCL
now onto finishing Trigun
Put Maria†Holic on the iPod, so decided to start something different on the compy.
Gallery Fake. Pretty interesting thus far, though I'm confused as to why the encoder would bother to put something with a single audio track and hard subtitles into an mkv container.
Rewatching Baki the Grappler before I decide to abridge it again.
Madoka Magica - Best show this season bar none.
Higarushi no Naku Kori ni - Watching as I type, hope it's decent. I need some good horror anime.
Ergo Proxy - Grabbed this on a whim. The first episode was awesome and I'm really digging the general vibe and art direction but I've heard it runs out of steam later on. Will have to see how it goes.
Kimi ni Todoke - Feels good man.
It is. At least, until they get around to explaining things. The writer is good at creating a setting and a mystery, but he's TERRIBLE at resolving/explaining it properly. Always. And seemingly he's a little touchy about that bit of criticism. :wacko:Quote:

Just so they can ship off the protagonist (who has barely had any screen time yet, IIRC) on a boat so he can get as far away from the setting as humanly possible. Then there's some mumbo jumbo about gods and chosen ones. And then it gets worse. :wacko:
I dropped Ergo Proxy halfway through, I think that about sums it up. :wacko:
Higurashi's good. Second season gets awfully silly towards the end, and I thought the ending outright sucked, but aside from that, it's good. Gotta agree with Ray on the whole "the mystery is more interesting than the explanation" part, though.
Colamisu for future reference check out pot player from the dev of kmp player before it got sold and of course mpc hc.
Watching madhouse wolverine not that impressed but waiting it out.
