While I know most of you probably want to talk about E3, I wanna talk about Geass. Okay, really I want to talk about e3, but there are plenty of people talking about that. As our title defines, we'll be discussing the developments and revelations of the currently running series of shows. Sample conversational directions include...

Code Geass: The months of substance have washed off the year of hate I had for this show. I hate/love/stay up every sunday for the new episodes. Rolo's a douche.

Nabari no Ou: 
(Gia) "I don't know what anyone's talking about. Miharu totally has the hots for Raimei. LOL! What's with all this "gay" stuff anyway!?" Lies, he's totally all over Yoite


More pretty pictures and show statements after the jump.


Gia made me put that in... promise... 

Soul Eater: I've reaffirmed my love of the show, as nearly episode is a hit. P.S. Blair is adorable.



Kaiba:
Ah-freaking-mazing. This is definately not a show for everyone, but I am absolutely lost in this colorful journey through life, love, living forever with your memories.

Macross Frontier:
(Len) "It makes my %^&*# throb in unision to ranka's singing."

Golgo 13: (Amethystkx2) "The man defines manlieness, and seduces women with a single glance. What more could you want?"

Toshokan Sensou - I got nothing on this, keeping up with it feels about as daunting as reading a book.

Kurenai and Vampire Knight are over. Did they live up to your expectations, or did you abort them early? How about Special A Anything else on the radar? As usual, leave comments about the things that aren't up here, but totally need to be seen.

(All hail Gia, bringer of formated pictures)

Kurenai was fantastic. I was really bummed out that it ended so abruptly. They could have drawn out more episodes of Murasaki and Shinkuro simply fooling around and I would have been content.
Kurenai still has plenty left in the lite novels though PLENTY. So hopefully they still have a next season maybe?
So does God Len officially support the Ranka pairing now?

Kurenai was a good series overall but I felt something was off about the ending. It wasn't a terrible conclusion but it left me feeling empty and thinking "That's it?"

I dropped Vampire Knight at episode 5 after the series seemed to be going nowhere.
Was it just me that found Nibari boring in the first few episodes? Maybe I was just expecting too much cause JC Staff made the show. Toshokan Sensou looks sexy, Im checking it out now.
SOUL EATER . I LOVE SOUL EATER! LOVE LOVE LOVE *keep repeating this*
I'll keep it short this time maybe... >_>

Real quick on the summer season: Watch Slayers: Revolution, Sekirei (tits yay), Chocolate Underground (lol), and Natsume Yuujinchou. Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is cute and hits a deep root for Otakus hehe. Strike Witches totally fails but I'll still watch it >_>
I wasted 20 minutes of my life on Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natsu no Sora it was sooo boring repeat: DO NOT WATCH.

I thought Kurenai ended well (I was glad there was finally some action)
Vampire Knight ended kinda blandly and very open for the next season
Kanokon ended the same way it started pretty much >_>
I'm part of the Kaiba crowd now as well w00t.
Soul Eater, Golgo, and Macross are awesome as ever.
Nabari no Ou seems to be getting more bland. But yes, he does want to ride the Yoite Express >_>
And finally, since this is Spoiler-san, I hate Rolo. Also, SHIRLEEEEY!!!! T_T WAAAAHHH.....
I enjoyed Kurenai, it was certainly worth watching, if they do decide to do a 2nd season then I have to wonder what direction they'll take the series.

I actually started watching Soul Eater again. It's alright, humorous and stylish, but I want some mean on the characters/plot. I like Maka, I just wish they did more than have the one villain a week plot.
What do ye think of Natsu no Sora? I really like it, a little Harry Pottery, but the nice innocence of the main character is cute.
Code Geass continues to impress, damn Shirley. Can I have a succesful relationship in an show at all? Sheesh. Poor Shirley.
Nice that the season is ramping up with Lelouch and his father meeting again.
I've only been watching Code Geass, Macross, and Golgo so far this season. Macross is doing really well, and I'm enjoying the series.

Still working to catch up on Golgo, but that statement is pretty true.

Rolo is a douche. Still enjoying the series.
What did you think of Gotham Knight? I was surprised by how boring Production I.G's animation (ep. 2) was, and by how good Bee Train's (ep. 3) was. Ep. 4, done by Madhouse, was my favourite though..

Also who loved ep. 5 of Gurren Lagann Parallel Works?
On Code Geass, I'm loving it this season. The last two episodes have made me quiver with anticipation for the next episode.

Vampire Knight was a little disappointing coming from a fan of the manga. I hope they don't just end it like that.

On other shows, I continue to watch Special A if only for Lelouch's sexy voice as one of the main characters. Its like a double dose of sexy in my week and I can't argue with that. I'm surprised you guys left out Itazura na Kiss. The last episode was AMAZING! I never read the manga, but I'm loving the anime. ^_^

P.S. Rolo is a douche.
I'm watching Macross Frontier, Code Geass R2, Nabari no Ou and Blade of the Immortal.

I've found Nabari to be quite fascinating since the first episode. The art direction is beautiful; Persona-style characters over watercolored backgrounds is pure win.

Macross was one of my low points, thanks to Cheryl. Luckily, she is being less lame and the story has gotten very interesting. Political intrigue plus valkyries = win. The action sequences have been fantastic as well. It's now my most anticipated weekly release.

Geass is very uneven. As soon as the story picked up in China, they pause everything for some wacky high school hijinks. That may have worked in the first season since the characters lived on campus but it feels sorely out of place in R2. The abrupt return to the main storyline felt rushed and overly ambitious, which screwed up the show's rhythm off.

I just got Blade this morning so I cannot comment on that show yet.
Kaiba is friggin amazing, if profoundly disturbing. Seeing that girl fuck herself to death in the second episode was really messed up, and it kept going worse (in a good way) from there. I wholeheartedly agree with you.

I dropped out of Soul Eater after episode 3, but if it's really picked up, I'll have to check it out again.

Still trying to catch up on Code Geass season 1, dammit!!!
That's a pretty ghey picture up there. It's not the way he tenderly eats some hot bun - it's all the pink and pastels. :P
Oh yea, I forgot Blade of the Immortal, do watch.

And Allison to Lillia finally just got on it's "Lillia arc," good stuff.
Soul Eater, Golgo, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode for me. I tried Slayers Revolution, I really did, but it felt like something made for the ADD generation... with a Pokemon blowing up the town at the end. ^^;

I don't need to explain Golgo. Birdy has got to be the most beautifully animated tv show today. The production values are just staggering, and that and the fact that the director did Noein and Escaflowne will keep me around, because the premise is still dumb as all hell.

I also love Soul Eater for obvious reasons. Excalibur still cracks me up. :3
@Chicken008
I was surprised by how short they were.
Crossfire {I.G. one} was boring in general, but art style and obvious story.
Bee Train was your favorite? I'd liked the style.. and the story I guess. Now that I think about it, it probably was one of the better shorts.
Deadshot was probably my favorite.
@Zeouterlimits, actually I said ep. 4 (In Darkness Dwells) by Madhouse was my favourite..
I haven't been watching much of this season but the shows I do watch are all amazing: Soul Eater is becoming one of my favorite things of all time, Code Geass is really good, and even Macross (after me not liking it for the first couple of episodes) is getting good.

I hope Soul Eater never ends.
Just re-watched Itazura na Kiss eps 14. May need to watch it again. gotta love it!

Special A is also showing some nice character development in that last episode that I really enjoyed.

Tetsuwan Birdy Decode is looking like it will be good, as is Natsume Yuujinchou.

Sekirei and Strike Witches seem to be fan service with a plot. Just naughty enough to keep the boys drooling, but having enough character/plot so you can get past the nakedness or the EXCESSIVE panty shots.

@Chicken008 I fail at reading comprehension, apologies.
I quite liked Toshokan Sensou. Despite the grim future trappings, its ultimately a very shojou series.

Currently, the only show I'm following is Macross Frontier. Waiting to see if Soul Eater develops more of a story.
Kaiba is just like Mushishi for me in that I love the show and concept but never can get myself around to watching more than the first few episodes.

Geass pissed me off recently with the poorly executed handling of Shirley. Not because she died, but because there is no reason for Zero to actually return to the school. The Council President is gone, Shirley is gone, Kallen is captured. Also, I think putting up an episode where Shirley wins Lulu's heart and following it with an episode where she tries to commit suicide and goes on a date with Suzaku is lame. I do hope they use this as a means for Lulu to hate Suzaku for leaving her, but we haven't seen that yet. Finally, Rolo is a Douche and I think Orange is annoying.

Birdy the Mighty is the best new anime of the season that I've seen so far. Its not excellent, but its solid and entertaining.

I don't like Sekirei no. 88's voice actor or the way the show is being handled so it was dropped after like 5 minutes.

Soul Eater is solid so far. Not great, but it never gives me an excuse to drop it.

They left Kurenai (my favorite anime of last season) very open, and I would be surprised if we don't see a second season.
Hi guys! wow! lelouch,kallen,zuzaku,nunally and cc are so cute in your pics! iwant to have one now!

First Impressions: Photo Kano

A anime about taking pictures of cute girls. How could I say no seeing as I love taking pictures of cosplayers? It also seems right up my ally being a romantic comedy and a dating sim adaptation. There has been good humor in it so far and looks to keep my interests pretty easily. Not that it's that hard mind you...
