Just finished up chapter 525 of Bleach, myself. Kenpachi is slowly getting stronger (or more accurately, slowly releasing the mental shackles he subconsciously put on himself, in order not to completely obliterate any opponent he faces) in his training against Unohana.

I'm liking Durarara a lot more than I thought I would! I know who all the characters in the opening sequence are, which is a bit of a surprise since there were like 15. The structure of the episodes also feels really fresh, and the ways each plot arc intersects with another keeps me excited. The modal jazz soundtrack is... unorthodox, but it'll do, and the ending theme is annoyingly catchy if a little generic.

All in all superb so far! I don't usually like "myth arc" shows much, but this one's been really good.

yeah durarara is one of those unique animes that are more like realistic then fictional story or something quiet fun non the less to watch could of had a few more episodes though D=

Watched Escaflowne on YouTube last night.

Pretty good film, with some stuff for everyone. A tale of a resistance fighting an overbearing empire, some steampunk elements, feudal Japanese warlord society, magical telekinesis fights, a little romance, and mechs (magical dragon mechs at that).

Durarara is... realistic? I thought it was the complete opposite!

Also, my ipod seems to be on its dying days so I might not be able to use it for much longer. Is there a way to watch anime on the 3DS? I think someone brought that up a while back. Otherwise, I might have to get a new ipod

always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

Oh...

...seriously, if you haven't, watch the series. While it has its ups and downs (Really rushed in the middle at least), it's much better than the film.

I just finished both seasons of Baka and Test -Summon the Beasts-.
I know I said I wouldn't finish it, but I couldn't help myself.

I really like the comedy side of the anime, but there was WAY to much Fan-service for me to totally enjoy it all. But other then that, it was really funny and I enjoyed it.

I guess (For me anyways) since I'm a girl I can tolerate it more, I just tried to ignore it all together. I mean if my brother watched it, I would seriously unplug his computer and throw it in a river.

Am I being sexist?
Eh I don't know. All I know is that ill make sure not to watch any more Fan service anime, I think I can only tolerate It once :3

If I ever get a new iPod (or tablet) I'll look into the series. It's just that I only have access to YouTube (on my brother's 360), and since it's so hit & miss finding videos there, I'm sticking to whatever OVA's and films I can find, so I can finish a story in one sitting.

I started reading the Magi manga, and I'm enjoying it way more than the anime. Hopefully I'll have time to get into it during the weekend.

Yeah, I keep hearing that the anime of Magi isn't doing a great job compared to the manga version. I still want to try the Magi anime, though.

yeah you are being sexist xD but eh some you kinda learn to ignore it or laugh it off some animes are worse then others though some are more like happens to lead part of the story while others keep going to just the bath scenes <.< we get it

Watched Spriggan last night on YouTube.

I found it to be enjoyable. It got kinda weird towards the end (but then again, what anime doesn't), but the action is sublime, there's lots of it, and it has some awesome attention to detail (this is the kind of detail I think that modern anime lacks).

It's only around an hour & a half long, so if you have the time you should look into it.

Watched Fatal Fury: the Motion Picture last night on YouTube!

It's nothing deep or revolutionary, but if your just looking for an afternoon of cheesy martial arts fun, it fits the bill (reminded me of watching DBZ & Yu Yu Hakusho back when I was in middle school). BTW, there are a few fanservice scenes, but nothing more than a few seconds long (what with Mai being in the film). There are actually two OVAs that precede this movie, and since they're on YouTube as well, they'll probably be next on my list (not tonight though, with Toonami on).

P.S. - sorry for the double post.

Just watch Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle. While it's nothing really special, it's the best in its class (Cheesy action movies based on games). The first Fatal Fury special was awful, though.

Also, I had heard about Spriggan. If I recall correctly (I probably don't...) it was supposed to be a movie that was more style than substance. Unless I'm just thinking of Venus Wars? Either way, check that out if you haven't already. I quite liked its art, at least. Don't remember anything about the actual story or characters, though.

Just about finished the first season of Minami-ke

I like Slice of life Anime, so this one I really enjoy. I think it's hilarious. I'm pretty used to reading subs now, I think I like it.

Minami-Ke was good, I never finished it, though. Glad you liked it. Did you watch it on Crunchyroll? If so, I didn't know it was on there...EDIT: Nope, wasn't licensed, I guess. Oh well.

I have a Nook Tablet, that has Flash on it so I found a random anime website to watch it on. (I don't always do that because some websites don't work well because of buffering problems.)

When funimation started simulcasting the fourth season I started watching it, but got confused since I had no idea what is was about. So I decided to start watching it at the beginning.
