Guess I haven't posted here in a while. Guess I'll get to it.

Past stuff:

Ben-Tou
I talked about this one prior but have not spoken about it since I've finished it. Overall a really average show with an uninteresting cast of characters. The first half was pretty entertaining, but the second half took a real nosedive with a lack of any kind of story afterwards, introduction to even more boring and unwanted characters, three terrible-to-mediocre episodes in a row... Wouldn't recommend.

Carnival Phantasm
Awesome self-parody of Type-Moon's works. Not a whole lot to say that hasn't been said already.

Squid Girl second season
More of the same slice-of-life comedy showcasing the antics of Squid Girl. You'll like this one if you liked the first season.

Recent stuff:

Daily Lives of High School Boys
Recently finished Nichibros and it was awesome! Cannot recommend this enough to anyone who enjoys slice-of-life style comedies.

K-On!
Saw a little bit of this at Anime Boston over the weekend with the bro. I liked it, may watch more sometime.

Steins;Gate
Watched upon recommendation by a friend. Was really really good. Around the middle is when the story really kicks off and it's a roller coaster from there. The characters are great, voice cast is really good, premise is interesting. Highly recommend.

Also saw this movie at Anime Boston with the bro. Watched the dub. An alternative history anime based on the second World War with elements of paranormal/supernatural activity. Was pretty interesting, although most of the action scenes felt like teasers to me. Seems like there may be more based on how the movie ended.

Current/future projects:

Mysterious Girlfriend X
The premise of the show sounds so stupid, but the first episode was actually pretty good! The main characters are awesome too, as my brother mentioned earlier. I'm interested in seeing more of it.

Fate/Zero second season
I'm probably going to wait until it's done and watch it with Regulus then. If it's going to be anything like the first half, I do not want to suffer for about a week to see what happens next.

Something I burrowed from my bro that's been on my desk for months now. I really need to do something about that. LOL I hear it pretty good but I haven't been in much of an anime mood lately.
