Ahh yes the soul sucking anime!
Did they continue the show?
Yes the show is endless.
No really... I know how it currently ends MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE
But did they ever add more episodes??

Like when Kaji's VA tried to speak english in You Can (Not) Advance.

It was terribad.

Hey, do you guys have any recommendations for good action manga? I'm looking for something with a more serious tone, and it doesn't really matter if it's fantasy or sci-fi.

Berserk and Puella Magica spring to mind.

I've read Puella Magica (was awesome) and watched the anime.

I'll look at Hellsing, Blade of the Immortal and Berserk. Thanks!

I'm guessing you've watched Darker than Black?  I don't remember but that's a pretty serious action show usually.

Finished Ginban Kaleidoscope and I have to say... the ending impressed me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It was a nice anime. Wasn't great but it was good. Though I think its largest problems likely came from budget. Being told something is amazing isn't the same as seeing something amazing. I felt more inspired by the Ballet in Princess Tutu then the Skating in Ginban.

Its lesser problem is characterisation. The characters weren't as strong as they could have. Eichi in Fullmoon basically served nearly the same role as Peter Pump but Eichi's personality was highlighted to be quite round. Actually anyone who wasn't the main character was sort of uninspired appart from a few points in the series (it leaves a LOT of the work up to you to figure out someone's personality... yet they still lack energy)

There are reasons why English subs give subs for english words.

Heyyyy, the subs for Darker than Black are up free and legal on Youtube!  Pretty cool!

Too bad I'm too tired to enjoy it...

Vagabond has an amazing artist, but it's never going to be finished, because it's on hiatus for forever.

Here's 2/13 of Fate/stay night - Unlimited Blade Works.  The fourteenth day...
Total playtime: 119.5 hours
What a tweeeeeeeest.  I feel kinda foolish for not realizing it sooner.

Also, the Maria Holic OPs are amazing, wow.  Wow wow.

The first season's OP was even more catchy, but SHAFT OPs are usually really good in general. All of SZS, Arakawa and of course my beloved Hidamari Sketch have great OPs and EDs.

Also they changed the OP animation about a million times during the course of Maria's second season. I guess they needed something to burn all the money made from the Madoka BDs.
