I've been watching Inuyahsa resently, been meaning to for awhile. I tried to watch it a few years ago but didn't get far. Inuyasha and Kagome annoy me, they still do. And I never really thought about it before since I hadn't watched much but Inuyasha = Another version of Journey to the West.

I wouldn't call Inuyasha a version of Journey to the West. I guess I can kinda see where you're coming from and draw smilarities between a few of the characters, but there's no direct correlation between any of them and the main plots are entirely different. Personally, I really like Inuyasha, and really need to watch that last season sometime...

I know theres no direct correlation, but since I keep seeing all these similarities I keep thinking "It's another version of Journey to the west" But maybe thats just me, cause I'm wierd like that.

Also I like Inuyasha's voice. Usopp = Awesome.

So, anime of the season is definitely "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai". The third episode won me, completely. I award the main character with the "Best Brother Ever" award.

I'm taking a brief anime break to watch through the large stack of Disney movies I recently amassed. Gundam Seed Destiny is next up though.

Oh boy, Seed Destiny. While Seed was pretty average, a lot of crazy stuff happens in Seed Destiny.

I liked Seed. A touch predictable perhaps (it followed the standard Gundam plot line for the most part) but good.

Just saw a bit of the Layton movie dubbed. I'm surprised they didn't bother dubbing over the song. Also, I never understood why Luke has a different voice in the UK. They sound practically the same.

Strangly I watched that too. I started watchin it years ago but never finished.

All I keep thinking is Tamiki = Edward Elric.

And Love the Twins... And Honey and Mori and Kyoya and how bout I just say all the main characters... And Ranka. Ranka's awsome.

I'm currently watching Saki, which is about Majhong and fairly enjoyable despite the fact that I know absolutely nothing about Majhong (the show, unfortunately, assumes the audience knows how the game is played). After that I've got Tora Dora and then probably either a Macross or Gundam series...

Being someone who has watched through Saki, and have beginner experience at mahjong, there are quite a few things I'd like to say about that show. But I'd rather not.
All it is is shoujo-ai with a side of impossible mahjong, that's all. A bit like Yu-Gi-Oh! You know those characters that had special powers that affected the games. Yeah, it happens in Saki.
Speaking of characters, this is one of those rare anime of which I don't like a single one of the main characters. Except for the captain, if she counts as main.

Oh, and the ending calls for a season 2 that will most likely never happen.

Enjoy Toradora after it. Good anime.

Even knowing almost nothing about mahjong, I can tell that Saki isn't entirely realistic (everyone has special luck or something). And yeah, it definately has the shoujo-ai thing going. Still rather entertaining though.

But Stealth Momo! It must be watched for Stealth Momo! I really didn't watch any of Saki except for that moment. And I know enough to know that it's totally impossible and makes absolutely no sense!

But still. Stealth Momo guys, Stealth Momo.
"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.

I'm actually in the middle of her game right now. Though kinda ridiculous, she is rather cool.
