Allright, my new anime post people!

-Spring Season mostly complete!-
Shows I ended up watching....

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai AKA - We Still Don`t Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day.

Great series about a group of friends who drifted apart after a terrible incident and how they slowly come back together and overcome it all. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Interesting story and characters/development.

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko AKA -Electromagnetic Wave Woman and Adolescent Man

Picked this up late in the season by recommendation. Great series though incomplete. Need moar! Love the girls in this show all moe Ryuuko was my favorite. she was adorable. Not much substance to the show's story but the cast/characters are great fun to watch and Shaft does good animation as well. Didn't liek the opening song at first but it quickly grew on me after hearing a few times. Hopefully we'll see more of this series next year!

Dog Days

I had mixed opinions of this show early on. As I finally committed to watching the rest of it it was merely average, though the voice cast was fantastic. Eclair was my favorite character. I'm quickly becomnig a big fan of Ayana Taketatsu http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&creatorid=590 I can usually pick out her voice right away when I start watching a show she's in.

Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera

Hilarious ridiculous show. I enjoyed it quite a bit. A lot of sexual humor and wackiness to be had. Surprisingly very high production values on this too. animation was gorgeous for a show like this.

Maria Holic Alive

Finished it today. I liekd the first season a bit better but this was still fun to watch. It's become very episodic in nature and just seems to jump all over the place. Still love the cast though, Asami Sanada ddint get enough spotlight though *frown*

Nichijou

Looks like this will run another season, which is wonderful. Loving this show. Very funny, the sense of humor is not for everyone though.

Gosick

Still behind on this. It's the last one i need to catch up on. Only watched first season (12 eps) so far. Started great but seems to be dropping off as it goes on. From what I've read this seems to be the general opinion as well.

Other recent projects

Tamayura - nice little ova about a girl that love photography reconnecting with her deceased father. looks like it'll have a TV series in fall. Very peaceful quick watch. I recommend.

Sugar: A little Snow fairy - 12/24
cute show, solid.

Koihime Muso
solid generic episodic fantasy flaire, not too bad overall

I also finally finished Di Gi Charat Nyo which means I have officially watched everything in the Di Gi Charat Franchise now. I'm sad.... I loved it.

And now...
-Summer 2011-

~My prime candidates~

Usagi Drop - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8211
I think this show is gonna be awesome. May be similar in nature to Ashitaru ze Baby (a great series!). Also a noitaminA show which are generally above average anyway.

Ikoku Meiro no Croisee - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8180
I like how this one looks. Ideas seem fairly original as well. Hoping for something good here.

Kamisama no Memo-chou - Notepad of God - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8370
Sounds like a fun ride. It's also been ages since I watched a J.C Staff show. None since Maid-Sama! *gasp*

Nekogami Yaoyorozu - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8117
This sounds like it's be an awesome comedy/dailyl ife series. We'll see!

I'll be looking to watch the new Appleseed XIII project as well.

~Other possibilities~

Dantalian no Shoka - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=7939
New Gainax show, looks interesting. Gainax is hit or miss with me sometimes.

Kamisama Dolls - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8275
This might be a nice change of pace if i want something outside my comfort zone this season.

Morita-san - http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=8406
This is getting a TV series. I watched the OVA and it was okay, though poorly animated.

I also started Double-J.
Doesn't look very good so far but I'll probably watch them cause they are 4 minute episodes.

and that's looking to be it right now. things may change later though. Always can...

Some other things i have in mind for the near future are Clannad and 801 T.T.S. Airbats.
