I accidentally filled my hard drives with anime (700 GB, 700 GB, somewhere under 400 GB on an 800 GB drive), so I'm finally starting to watch some of the backlog just to clean it up. Oh, and I got sick for a week, so there was a reason, too. Just on Coromell right now:
Mawaru Penguindrum: Good, but unfortunately, I watched after getting hyped on its production street cred, so it was a little anti-climactic. Definitely preferred Utena, rushed second-half and all.
Toradora: Loved it.
Axis Powers Hetalia: Good, but sometimes annoying to the historian in me.
Baccano: Interesting. Achronological ordering and other meta-tricks tend to be fairly interesting to me.
Level E: ...didn't like it so much. Don't know why...I think it was the prince. Some interesting mixes of sci-fi and horror, but I'm not actually fond of horror as a genre.
Durarara: Watching right now, thanks entirely, and absolutely entirely, to
this. It's...interesting. An unseelie in Japan? Interesting, indeed.
Then there's Antique Bakery, Ano Hana, the rest of Macross and Patlabor, Wandering Son, Eureka 7, Ichigo Mashimaro, Nozomu Eien, Creamy Mami, Hell Girl, Gunslinger Girl, Nana (even though I read the manga), Versailles, Someday's Dreamers, xxxHolic (my CLAMP-fan tendencies have died down a bit recently, but they're still there), Bottle Fairy, Clannad, Fushigi Yuugi, Gakuen Alice (when did I get that?), Fruits Basket, Higurashi, Kare Kano, Kanon (seriously! I kept putting off the 2006 remake because I loved the 2002 version that everyone hated), Kimagure Orange Road (again), Little Snow Fairy Sugar, ParaKiss (also again), Paranoia Agent, Lodoss Wars, Escaflowne (again again), Rescue Wings, School Rumble, Lost Universe, Stellvia of the Universe, To Heart 2, Wind -a breath of heart-, X, Yamato Nadesico Shichi Henge, and Yukikaze. Oh, and there was that second season of Haruhi (Endless Eight aside), Ika Musume, Last Exile, and I suppose I should look at that OVA or something for Black Lagoon. There's some other stuff I was forgetting, too. Oh, PreCure, Aoi Hana (good recommendation), Manabi Straight, Ookami-san, Victorian Romance Emma, Usagi Drop, and if I'm doing the other Key works, probably Little Busters (was that the romanization they settled on?) when that comes out (even if I remember all the drama back when that was first coming out). I was going to look for the other Pierrot works, too, though those are *ridiculously* tough to find. I suppose there's Folktales of Japan, Daily Lives of High School Boys, and I should pick up the rest of Mouretsu Pirates at some point. Wait, The Borrowers was made into an anime, too, and by Ghibli, no less; I should look into Arriety as well, and finally take the time to watch Ponyo properly instead of just wandering through the family room for 5-10 minutes every so often. That's just the anime list, too; I also have DS9, Stargate, the second season of MLP, and Korra.
