On Valentine's Day, we watched Madoka.
Trippiest and darkest magical girl anime ever.

I've been hearing good things about that one. I'll probably check it out once the first season is complete.

You'll probably see me ranting about the ending when time comes. I always pick up anime with horrible endings these days.

Now, now, that's not entirely true. We've watched anime with good endings, like... er...

I'll think of one...

...

Panty and Stocking?
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Oh, is that one finished? If so, I'll have to check it out sometime. ((When I have a backlog, I tend to wait on new series until the show or season is done so I can watch the whole thing in a short span of time.))

If you need some anime with good endings though, give me a genre and I'll make some recommendations.

I'll spin the roulette. Any genre would do, but keep the length to 26 episodes or under.

Let's see... 26 episodes or less with a good ending... Since I don't know what all you've seen, here's a bunch of random stuff.

Black Lagoon (Dark, violent, and very cool. Actually, it's one of those shows that doesn't really have an "ending" because it doesn't need one.)
Comic Party (Welcome to the world of fan comics! As a note, it has to be watched in English since English Taishi is amazing.)
Coyote Ragtime Show (A space cowboy show that's more Outlaw Star than Cowboy Beebop. Actually, if you haven't seen Outlaw Star yet that's pretty good too.)
Kanon (You've probably seen this, but if you haven't it's based on the Key game of the same name and is probably one of the best anime adaptations of a visual novel that you'll find.)
Kino's Journey (A young traveler journies to different countries, only staying in each for three days. Very thought provoking and another show that doesn't really need a true ending.)
Penguin Musume (Um... Crazy rich otaku girl, marital artist girl who grew up thinking she was a boy, and others have wacky adventures.)
Seitokai no Ichizon (A strange student counsol sits around and talks about stuff. Utterly awesome and way too short.)
Slayers (Magic, swords, comedy, and a fairly good story to boot. Season 1 is just titled "Slayers" but there's also other seasons and OVAs (each one is a self contained story arc).)
Spice & Wolf (A merchant and a wolf god travel together getting to know each other and trading for stuff. Very different and slower paced, but the animation, world, music, and characters are excellent.)
Zegapain (Giant robots meet The Matrix meet a good but rather depressing story.)

As a note, all of the above except for Penguin Musume and Seitokai no Ichizon have US DVD releases.

Watching the first generation of Transformers... For some reason, it's been really fun to watch compared to the new Animated series. My favorite Transformer? Without a doubt, Megatron...
1 John 3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

hmmm, lets see, there's a bit of a list.

For anime we've been switching between them as the collections are released so;

~ One Piece (They've finally started releasing the uncut version here. It's a good excuse for me to re-watch it and Robert's only seen the *shudder* 4-kids version)
~ FMA BrotherHood (Yay, we've been waiting a couple months for the 3rd collection now, we now have it on laybuy as we had to pay for some other stuff this week.)
~ Naruto Shippoden (Yes I'm watching it, it is a good anime... there's just certian characters who annoy me, I suppose they have improved a bit since the first series...)
~ Gundam 00 season 2 (We just finished it, waiting for the movie.)

As for other stuff;

~ Big Bang Theory
~ Stargate Universe
~ Stargate SG1 and Atlantis (Re-watching, well SG1 is rewartching up to series 7 I think, and I was only ever able to see the first few eps of Atlantis)

Hm yep I think that's it.
Redback, Funnel-Web, Blue-ringed octopus
Taipan, Tigersnake and a Box jellyfish
Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell
That spikes you when you pick it up

I'm keeping up with The Simpsons, Fringe, Castle, and the English dub of Bleach while in Japan. Other than that, I just finished Le Cheviar D'eon. Interesting premise, great animation, and a twisting plot...but not quite a masterpiece. I just couldn't get attached enough to the characters and the ending was rather depressing. Not sure what anime I'll start next. Maybe Macross 7 or Sailor Moon.

Uhm, yeah, I barely watch TV anymore, and the only show I regularly keep up with is Glee... and I'm really not liking it as much as I did last season, it's just that they often do a good job on the songs (and other times not so much), and I like to snag some of those songs, because music is awesome.

Relevant to what I'm watching (warning, NSFW pics may appear on the side): http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2011/02/2 ... akihabara/

I don't know why I'm so happy that this happened.

Just finished the original Fullmetal Alchemist on Netflix, downloaded the movie. All in all the series is awesome. Hopefully Brotherhood will come to Netflix.
I just lost the game.

Last night I watched some YYH after getting into the YYH Abridged Series. It's definitely an amazing nostalgic series for me, as I grew up with it.

I'm currently about 10 episodes or so into Macross 7. It's a little ridiculous but that's Macross. Not bad, though so far I'm not liking it as much as Macross Frontier.
