Let's not get crazy...
Watching a variety of things. I can't seem to focus on any thing in particular though. Not because I'm not interested, but because there's always something else to do that seems more pressing. I'm not sure if I have ADD, or I'm just really conscious of "keeping it fresh". I don't like to watch too much of anything, because then I'll cram a bunch of shows in a single night, and totally forget about them the next day.
The music is quite good. I could expect a sequel with the reviews and raving that the series is getting. Apparently there is a prequel manga to the normal manga called little army.
The series are both quite new however and so getting an anime so quick is quite good.
Just started watching Aquarion, it's one of the better Mecha Vs. Giant Monster anime I've seen recently. Some excellent hot blooded fighting as well.
Spoiler:
One monster LITERALLY gets punched to the freaking MOON
Some serious Tsundere from the female lead. Goddess protect I don't understand people who find that personality attractive at all.
Edit: Oh and it also does the same thing the mecha anime "Vandread" did where merging your war machine with someone else's is used as a tongue in cheek sexual reference.

I beg of you sarge let me lead the charge when the battle lines are drawn
Lemme at least leave a good hoof beat they'll remember loud and long
I've seen aquarion. The plot was only a little weird? The bad guys could have won at any time up until the end of the series. Instead they just sat in there palace and waited for the humans to get good enough to bother them. Evil villain list broken right off the bat.
Henchman: "We can win if we do X right now"
BigBad: "NO! They aren't wasting such valuable resources on!"
It's almost like they're playing Doom and they only get one or two shots with their BFG 9000 and they want to hold off on it till a worthy target shows up.

Finished Steins;Gate. Interesting and reminded me of Homura from Madoka a bit at times. Being recommended something slightly similar I've started Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin.
Sadly the next episode of Chuunibyou Demo Koi Ga Shitai is the last one as well. With the way it's going I'm not sure it'll have the funny ending it seemingly would have had until more recently in it.
Woooooooo! Anime purchasing VICTORY! I managed to find a copy of Vol. 2 of Flag. For some odd reason you can get Vol. 1, 3 and 4 along with the collector's box with ease but goddess forbid you want Vol. 2! It cost me more then the rest of the series put together...
Is Stein's Gate streaming on crunchy roll or any where?

Its streaming on wherever you type stiens gate into Google? I don't think its on crunchy roll anymore. I recently got a english dub, so it might be on funimation.
I am about to watch the Mermaid series again, Mermaid Forest, Mermaid scar etc. I remember watching them back in the late 80s or early 90s and them being pretty creepy but good. I hope my memory is not disappointed.
That's cute.
I've been watching kore wa zombie desu ka? of the dead recently. myanimelist says it only has 10 episodes which i find really interesting. Its perhaps the shortest anime I will ever watch. I can't think of a reason for it to end so quickly.

I recently watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
Goddamnit that show made me cry. Poor poor Sayaka...Poor everyone come to think of it. Homura and Madoka's brother are the only ones who remember her!

And now you can see why people seem to hate poor Kyubey.

It's longer and got a second season I haven't gotten around to starting yet.

I still cant hate that face, Its just so cute.
Also, Im trying to watch Blue Exorcist, its really cool, but it has been to long since i watched a show ith subtitles.
Just finished "Strike Witches", 3'rd time watching.
Very nice anime, funny as hell and I just love how they use World War II reference everywhere. ( it's slightly hentai too, but nothing too serious ).
Music is also very nice, can't wait now for season 3 ( so far two seasons and a movie was made ).
The universe has many horrors yet to throw at us. This is not the end of our struggle. This is just the beginning of our crusade to save Humanity. Be faithful! Be strong! Be vigilant!
I don't think Kyubey was nearly as evil as I was originally told. They'd made it sound like his race was straight up feeding on humans. He was just more cold/calculating because of his lack of emotions.
Currently watching Tiger & Bunny myself. Up around episode 15 of 25.

Also, I watched the last episode of Squid Girl. *sniff*...Seeing little Squiddie crying made me sad. Knowing that it's the last episode of such a great series also made me sad.

Ah, Kirby, devourer of worlds.
Speaking of disturbing Nintendo games and their anime adaptations, who would like to see a Metroid anime?

Waiting for my shill money from Spiral Arm Studios
I could see that going in multiple directions...
Possably simultaniously.

Self-proclaimed evil Cat-person. Dues Ex Felines
Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.
Sword Art Online season 2 continues to be a bit meh. Maybe it's the lack of the death-threat that makes things seem a bit less dramatic and makes them less inclined to explore the weird cultural and moral issues that spring up from it. Maybe it's the lack of interesting recurring supporting cast. Maybe it's because Asuna was turned into a macguffin.
Mostly, it's the stupid amount of incest and rape themes. Way to get creepy, guys.

There's quite a few but, these are more recent. Also some of them are endings, which many overlook.
Lyrics to this one are quite good. Pretty much about the struggle with the butterfly effect. Steins;Gate - Toki Tsukasadoru Juuni no Meiyaku - Yui Sakakibara
Spoiler:
With my vision confined, I am unable to escape the unforgiving grasp of the Twelve.
Wishing for a tomorrow free from anxiety I walk towards the plane of the precious event horizon in my grasp.
The pledge we made in captivity was a falsehood. The universe of life, engraved a blind time Spread your wings butterfly, you miraculous butterfly – I confer this unto you A butterfly of tears, a brilliant butterfly All will now be rewritten
Locked away in this windowless prison I am unable to deny the scrutiny of the Twelve.
I can feel the warmth of life, I seek it out, heading beyond the skewed truth.
A small, sadistic fracture appears on the inscribed contract, as the sin of faith remains to guide life itself. Spread your wings butterfly, you miraculous butterfly, I can feel that you are here. A butterfly of tears, a brilliant butterfly This convergence is unstoppable.
The more I resist this scenario forced upon me, the more the sky ridicules me for my weakness.
The pledge we made in captivity was a falsehood. The universe of life, engraved a blind time Spread your wings butterfly, you miraculous butterfly – I confer this unto you A butterfly of tears, a brilliant butterfly All will now be rewritten
The denial of possiblity is a warning, The Twelve exert their power in secrecy.
Sort of hard for any show to have Yuki Kajiura (FictionJunction, See-Saw, Kalafina) involved with the sound track and not be good. Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica - Magia - Kalafina
