I'm not watching that many animes right now. The funny thing about anime is that I tend to watch it in waves. For a few months I will watch nothing but anime and then I will take a break for a few months and obsess about something else instead.

I am starting to get back into anime again right now, so here is what I'm watching:

Xam'd

Outlaw Star

Moribito

Bleach

Death Note


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

I gave up on Bleach due to the fillers. Same goes to Naruto - the fillers are just horrible.

I'm also watching Xamd, but so far...don't really like it. Hahhaa. I'm a big anime fan. I watch it every week (not enough time to make it everyday).


myLot reputation of 94/100. krebstar5 (1081)   ranked 239 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

I totally know what you mean about Bleach and Naruto. Thankfully my boyfriend is a lot more into those shoes than I am. He watches the filler episodes and then lets me know when I can come in and start watching again. Xam'd is okay, but not one of my favorites. I feel like a lot of the stuff they are doing has been done a million times before, and perhaps also done better before as well.


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Yeap, exactly. Xam'd to me is pretty normal even though the studio behind it is BONES studio. I actually don really bother to find the new episodes anymore. Hahaha. Naruto n bleach...bleh....the fillers sux =_= as in really sux. I rather read the manga for naruto. Bleach, maybe i will return to it since the fillers are over.

2. myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 16 out of 940 in anime   4 years ago

1. Bleach (fillers are over)
2. Naruto (it's getting good again)
3. Detroit Metal City (I'm raping this anime)
4. Ga-Rei Zero (Just because ending of first episode made me curious)
5. Darker Than Black (I'm on 4th episode now but if it's not gonna get any better I'll just give up on this one)
6. Code Geass (I haven't saw it yet but I heard it's very good so I'll give it a chance)


If you can recommend me some good anime, plese do.


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Hmm, maybe I should download Bleach again. It entered fillers just when things got interesting (after Ichigo beat ...what's the guy's name =_=).
I didn't finish Darker Than Black but my friend said the later episodes are much better.
Code Geass season 1 and season 2 are quite good though season 2 gets a little bit Death Note-ish in the middle. But the anime, overall, is good.

Try Soul Eater :) I love it, and so far the friends who I've introduced the anime to, love it as well.

Detroit...is it nice?


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 16 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

OK Soul Eater, I'll try it.
Definitely check Detroit Metal City. It's hilarious.
It's about shy guy who wants to be a pop singer but ends up as frontman in death metal band. Whenever he wears a heavy makeup he turns into completely different person shouting the most vulgar profanities beyond anyone's imagination. Problems begin when he's double personality starts to effect his (romantic) life off stage.
It has unique style compared to other series I've watched. Every episode is about 13 minutes including opening and ending. But I must warn you, it's really vulgar (he's singing about raping and killing his parents and stuff like that)


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

If you like Shaman King, you'll like Soul Eater. :)
Detroit? Hmmm, I don't really like such vulgar anime since I'm not a vulgar person. hahhaa. Oh ya, there's a new anime called HAYAKO or something like that. A lot of reviews saying it's very funny. I've yet to watch it though.

Mmm, those are quite old animes, right? I must say I didn't watch some of them but my passion for anime started when I was 7 years old...after watching Dragon Ball. :P
It was such a great anime back then. And I continued my anime journey with Saint Seiya and Slam Dunk. :D

2 Shakugan no Shana II (I wonder if they have a season 3 rolleyes
3 Antique Bakery




myLot reputation of 97/100. poohgal (3177)   ranked 22 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Yea. Bleach 189 is the last episode of the filler arc. They just showed Bleach 190 this week. It's 15 minutes of recap but it's still much better than the filler. The new arc is very worth watching. You know what I mean if you read the manga. lolwink


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

I'm watching Bleach again. Just finished Ep 190. I didn't really follow the manga but to me Naruto seems to be better with plot and storyline. The story in bleach is quite normal and predictable. It's becoming a little bit like Dragonball with swords.

As for Soul Eater, so far so good and I also just finished Nodame Paris Chapter. Very nice and funny. Nodame is cute as ever. :D

D Gray Man finished? I thought it's only first season. The 2nd season is still going on, no?

First season of D Grayman was not that good IMO. The 2nd season or was it the 3rd, was much better. The Bleach swords are cool. Hahhaha. But i still prefer an anime with a good storyline.


myLot reputation of 97/100. poohgal (3177)   ranked 22 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Totally agree!! I was totally bored in the first season of D Gray Man.
*Sorry for my earlier typo error*
The second season is way better. Funnier.. Better and more exciting fights.. thumbup


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Yeah yeah. Hmm, now I busy watching Soul Eater. Love it. :D I think you should try it out also. Bleach is starting to get repetitive =_=" Other than that, all the other new animes are so-so. Nothing special yet.

D Gray Man i think will continue. It's another never ending anime. Level 4 monster...then level 5...6....7... never ending :D


myLot reputation of 97/100. poohgal (3177)   ranked 22 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Yup. I'm watching Soul Eater now (at episode 28).

D Gray Man is not never ending... it has ended at Level 4 Akuma.. (episode 103).

The Manga is still ongoing but I have no time to read the manga.


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Whoa, I'm only at episode 12 of Soul Eater. You're much faster than me.

I've never read the D Gray Man manga before, but I would expect that Level 4 is just a beginning for more akuma with higher levels to come.

6. myLot reputation of 72/100. chiaeugene (1488)   4 years ago

i have been watching one piece till date. it is one of the longest i ever followed. now is at episode 374. luffy against shadow eater morlie or something like that in this episode. i have also read the comics but i find watching more entertaining. i used to follow a lot of anime and comics but tone down a lot in recent years. the money i spend on them can be better utilised to support the family and also becuase i am able to watch them free online


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

I normally only buy comics/mangas. For animes, I only watch them online to save cost. I know it's being unfair to the creators, but, I'm poor~~~

Yeah, one piece has always been my favourite :D

Not really one of those who can watch recent ones.. maybe by chance but, not really updated. I get to watch some that are already complete and perhaps after reading the manga that they come from like recently, I just finished watching Welcome to the N.H.K anime series after finishing the manga a couple of days earlier.

Then, there are also those good anime shows that I have watched during my younger days that I want to watch all over again. A good title would be Romeo's Blue Skies

Whatever catches my attention and able to watch, I guess, that would be me on how I watch anime. (^_^")


Welcome to the N.H.K

myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Hmm, I watched the first 2 episodes of NHK but I gave up after that. Not my type I guess. Romeo's Blue Skies, hmm, first time hearing such a title. What is it about?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 20 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Didn't like it? Maybe you can fancy watching it later on if you simply had nothing else to watch.. then again, we all have our own different preferences to begin with so, if it really doesn't suit to your liking, there's nothing wrong with that (^_^ )

Romeo's Blue Skies is about Romeo who bravely sells himself as a chimney sweep to get the money to pay for a doctor for his father. On the way to Milan he meets Alfredo, a mysterious boy on the run heading to the same fate. Upon being separated and sold to their new bosses, the two boys swear eternal friendship. Romeo has to learn the hardships of a chimney sweep's job. His boss' daughter, Angeletta, is a girl with a heart illness who is not allowed to leave her room. She asks Romeo to bring the blue sky to her. Alfredo unites the sweeps in a secret union, the "Black Brothers" to face together the "Wolf Pack" gang, who constantly attack them. With their help, Romeo succeeds in bringing Angeletta's dream to her. Soon the brotherhood faces more hardships than cruel bosses or street hooligans. Alfredo reveals his secret: he has sold himself in the name of his sister Bianca. It is now up to the "Black Brothers" to stand up for the truth, to save Bianca and to protect their leader's life with their own. - animenewsnetwork.com

Really nice story from the novel (Die Schwarzen BrĂ¼der) written in 1941 in Switzerland by the Jewish author Kurt Held but published under the name of his wife Lisa Tetzner. - answers.com



myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Whoa, Romeo looks like a very complicated type of anime.
On NHK, a lot of my friends like it. Maybe I need to watch the next few episodes. I stopped at episode 1. :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 20 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

On the contrary, Romeo' Blue Skies is really simple, the plot of struggle is quite common while the events are considerably interesting since being a chimney sweep isn't that common now-a-days and the setting of the story has its charm..

On Welcome to the N.H.K. the anime is more easy and simple compared to the manga, well, that's my opinion anyway (^_^ )


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Hmm, now I really need to find my source for NHK :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. ratyz5 (3638)   ranked 20 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

For the manga, I think you can read it on anymanga.com while you might be able to view the series on crunchyroll.com (^_^ )

Try to look at the series with different perspectives in case you get tired, well, that's what I do with any series that comes my way.. (-_-")

"Try some light hearted animes like Naruto and SOUL EATER"

Lol sorry but saying light hearted and then soul eater doesnt really mix well together xD


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Ahem, true, soul eater can be quite violent at time =_= my bad


myLot reputation of 90/100. Nhey16 (1704)  4 years ago

actually, my kids are used to watching some kind of violent series. but i always tell them that those are not real and they should never try it.


myLot reputation of 92/100. daydreamer20 (766)   ranked 27 out of 940 in anime  4 years ago

Yea, better teach them properly since there are some incidents in Japan where kids got influenced by violent animes.


myLot reputation of 90/100. Nhey16 (1704)  4 years ago

really.... it's a good thing my kids are still listening to me...

Hmm, Black Cat is not that nice in my opinion. The fighting scenes are quite blurry.


myLot reputation of 68/100. Shula101 (162)  4 years ago

The fight scenes are actually alright. But the story needs to be longer and more detailed.
But if you watch it from Start to finish then you'd be hooked like me :)
Its alot better than Naruto.
