Ever tried Mahou Shoujotai? I strongly recommend the art and the animation, although I leave the story for you to judge for yourselves (I liked it personally).

Glad to know the DakkaDakka people also love it it's just one awesome show, one I fell in love after the first few minutes. I blame the "Big bad boss". She's all kinds of awesome.

Well, finished Shiki today after I marathoned the last 12 eps.
Overall, it was awesome. It attempts to show the view point from both humans and vampires. It takes a long time until sh*t gets serious, and I honestly feel a lot of things were rushed near the end, but I found it pretty good. Also, I found the end to be very, very, lame. After so much it really felt like an horrible end. Maybe the anime didn't hit me as hard as other people because I didn't feel any empathy for the vampires (except for one or two very rare cases. )
Spoiler:
Oh no, when the murder started I rejoiced. I loved it so much once the gig was up and their hearts started being staked. They were all high and mighty when they had the upper hand, hunting humans down and laughing and smiling. They didn't laugh that much once the joke was on them. One I loved the most was a certain father and his vampire son. He didn't even use a hammer to stake him. He just grabbed that stake and rammed it in. Damn, that character was so fething bad ass. I absolutely loved how much the villagers were jaded near the end: the women that were taking care of the vampire corpses were so used to them, they just gathered around for a tea brake in the middle of the piles of corpses. Hands are bloody? Just wipe it on your apron and eat that rice ball. No feths given.

I though different story was the same as the movies. I've read the two other spin off manga but I haven't seen anything to do with the movies since I want to marathon them all.

Continuing with my "WTF" anime list, I'm watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Only saw 5 eps so far and this one is already the "HOLY gak" winner.

That is one of my personal favorite series. Unique how it tells its story, and I love the backstory to it.
Also, make sure you watch the second season, it helps describe what is going on as a whole.

I'm sold. Any anime that puts its characters in a situation where that picture could occur has got to be a good time.
Although, it has rather philosophical and spiritual themes to it, so it requires a certain maturity and depth to enjoy.
I also am a fan of this. I watched it in one night since I just couldn't put it down half way. One of the few anime that have brought me to tears and also it seems that it's quite hard to re-watch it.
Just watched Karas... Pretty decent plot(some f'd up back stories), AMAZING fight scenes

So, this is the summary:
After moving into the quiet town of Hinamizawa, Maebara Keiichi spends his days blissfully in school often playing games with his local friends. However, appearances can be deceiving. One fateful day, Keiichi stumbles upon news of a murder that had occurred in Hinamizawa. From this point on, horrific events unfold in front of Keiichi, as he soon learns his close friends may not be all that they seem. Based on the amateur mystery game by 7th Expansion, the story is told in a series of different scenarios.
Because this is based off a game, I think that's why the anime is done this way: Each story arc is a playthrough of the "game". Good or bad, the decisions lead to a certain point and after that end, it starts all over again with a different "option" and each time the "game" resets we get a different playthrough and access to more info so we can piece together what's really going on.
Something that this anime is being amazing so far is the same reason I love the Black Knight's Joker: I can't predict what the hell the psychos are gonna do. I think the Joker was fantastic because I just didn't know what he was about to do, he would either shove a pencil into someone's brain, make a joke, murder something, whatever, he was amazing.
Here, it's the same thing. I already know who the psychos are but I'm always wondering if they are going to enter "flying rodent gak crazy" mode or not. EVERY. DAMN. TIME.
Doesn't help I usually watch this alone in the dark with headphones
Oh and finally: Non Non Biyori is fantastic but please, be careful if you decide to watch it or YOU may be the next one to die

From Cuteness Overload that is I wanted to hug Ren-chan so badly after that certain scene

Subtitles changed slightly in Arpeggio I noticed. They had been calling them Corrosion Torpedoes, but in this last episode they changed the name to Erosion Torpedoes. I'm guessing because there was a scene where their name was shown in print on a computer screen.
It looks like Arpeggio is going to break from the manga cause some major side characters for the most recent battle were completely cut from it. Guess I officially have no idea what to expect

Yeah. It seems that at first Haruna didn't wear anything under her coat, well you know except for langerie. She does later on though (you can see the dress in the opening sequence when she holds one side of her coat open).
. Funny,
