What are you guys currently watching?

I don't know about you but I am ADDICTED to Netflix's selection of anime! I cannot stop watching things. Currently I;m making my way through Brotherhood and High School of the Dead!

Netflix does have a great selection. My boyfriend and I are working our way through Aquarion right now, and I really love Angel Beats!

Am watching the on-going Naruto Shippuden and Natsume Yujin-cho series, and have started the 12 episode Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. An.... interesting anime, not quite sure yet how to take it.

And our anime club is half way through Time of Eve (an excellent anime.)

I prefer subs over dubs so don't watch much Netflix anime....

OK, I'm now into the second season of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and just can't stop laughing. It has got to be one of the most bizarre anime I've seen. Kumeta Koji is a gag comedy genius and the art is all over the board, but all very good. This one just might drive me to study more, I know I'm missing so many hidden cultural references because I can't read kanji and don't know that much about Japanese culture. The story of a pessimistic, suicidal high school teacher and his class of very weird misfits.

I've also been watching The Vision of Escaflowne via DVDs from Netflix. Must say I am impressed enough that I've added it to my "too buy" list at Right Stuf ($24 for the Complete Collection!) The art is very dated (the 80s is a fashion era that NEVER needs to be revived,) but the story is highly compelling. I'm through 14 episodes of 26 so far and aside from a couple of annoying characters, am enjoying it immensely. But it does make me wonder if Merle is the original "cat girl" or were there others before her...

I've been taking a break from anime to check out some Korean Drama shows on netflix. I just finished up Lie To Me, which aside from the few predictable moments, I greatly loved. I found the stories and characters to be well developed and occasionally complex. I cried at the end, which is super rare for me.

I just finished the first episode of 'My Girlfriend is a Gumiho', which is starting out with great promise. Anime-wise, I'm finishing up Trinity Blood.

My boyfriend got me to watch Corpse Princess with him, and I actually really enjoyed it. I thought from the title that it would be pointless gore, but it had a really good story.

Working on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which totally isn't anime, but whatever. Haha.

Other than that, I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately... At the moment, I'm watching some thing on History Channel about Hell and the like....

I'm still working my way through Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Naruto Shippuden. We've been watching Asura Cryin' and Black Rock Shooter at the Anime Club and I really, really want to watch Hotarubi no Mori e but I'm waiting to see of the club wants to see it too.

Just recently re-watched Peacemaker Kurogane after re-reading the two manga series. Also watched the live-action film of Uzumaki. The manga was so disturbing and bizarre I was wondering how they would pull it off. It actually turned out OK, not as disturbing as the manga but then again I don't think there was any way to bring those images to film, especially live action.

I've recently finished up Deadman Wonderland and a few weeks back I finish No.6 which are both really good series~

Next I'm ethier gonna watch Tiger & Bunny, Drrr or D. Gray Man.. leaning more towards Tiger and Bunny though because I need a bit more humor

Watched Highschool of the dead in like two days, really loved it.

Primula · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2012, 07:29:19 PM »

High School of the Dead might get a lot of flak because of the fan service, but outside of a couple of episodes of pure gratuitous fan service I really did like the anime. The premise has maybe been done before but I like the instant, "in your face" style as well as the relationship development between the characters. I've just learned to overlook certain things *cough*matrixboobs*cough*

It is also one of the few anime where I really thought the dub was good.

Watched 8 episodes of Kids on the Slope yesterday and must say "I AM LOVIN' IT"! A great story of love, friendship and jazz set in the early 1950s during the American occupation of Japan and the Korean War. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo fame. This is really a great one to see, it's on Crunchyroll!

I recently watched Black Rock Shooter, I really liked it. xD

Primula · « **Reply #13 on:** June 15, 2012, 11:12:04 PM »

Just finished watching the 3rd and final episode of the Saiyuki Gaiden OVA. God that was brutal... the manga was hard enough to get through given what happens to my favorite character, but I never expected them to actually bring the graphic, horrid details to the anime. Guess I was wrong.... my head hurts from crying.

durahobo · « **Reply #14 on:** June 16, 2012, 01:22:23 PM »

I'm currently watching one piece (episode 463 right now) Fairy tale, Death Note, and Pandora Hearts. I am re-watching Hetalia (both Axis Powers and World series) Black Butler, Ouran High School Host Club, and Durarara. How is Black cat? That is the next one on my list of animes to watch.

Primula · « **Reply #15 on:** June 20, 2012, 05:03:01 PM »

Loved Death Note! At the end I wondered if it was wrong of me to be crying out of sympathy for who was basically a serial killer. Where is my moral compass? That's why I like anime and manga so much... it is always making me question where my moral ground is.

Right now I'm still watching Naruto Shippuden, Kids on the Slope and Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. And of course (until they are finished or released... Hellsing Ultimate and Haibane Renmei (which Funimation is re-releasing in its entirety!)

I'm watching Trinity Blood because my cospartner is going to Sogen as Tres this year. c: I love sexeh vampire men.

Primula · « **Reply #17 on:** June 24, 2012, 11:02:08 AM »

Watched episodes 10 & 11 of Kids on the Slope this morning and what an emotional roller coaster. From laughter to tears in mere moments... it is really easy to get very emotionally invested in these characters.

Shun_Goku_Satsu · « **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2012, 09:42:15 PM »

I'm working on Rosario + Vampire, then I think I will try Tokyo Majin. Of course, both of these have to wait until I catch up on Doctor Who...

KayleenSpieker · « **Reply #19 on:** August 01, 2012, 01:57:10 PM »

I'm only working on Naruto Shippuden right now. *shrugs* I'm kinda obsessed with it right now. I'm sparingly watching YuGiOh GX with my fiance, since he likes it. :)
However, I'm reading the Naruto manga along with Bleach (from the beginning). I've never read these two mangas, even though I've been fans of them for years... xD

Primula · « **Reply #20 on:** September 14, 2012, 11:54:04 PM »

Oh wow... the last couple months I've watched Kids on the Slope, Princess Jellyfish, 5 Centimeters per Second, G-9 and Redline, I'm still watching Space Brothers and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei along with Naruto Shippuden. It's great to see that Haibane Renmei has been re-released... I have never been able to finish all 13 eps. It's in my "to buy" list! http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/IcY-ZYOI1GJi8j503u/browse/item/95452/4/0/0

Been watching Ruby Gloom. So cute XD

Watched Gantz, the live action movie last night. I liked it much better than I thought I would.
