One Piece is the only shonen series that is nearly unanimously agreed to be good.

Bleach and Narutos have massive fanbases that are in a state of perpetual cold war with each other, but almost everyone can agree that One Piece is awesome.
Huh... pretty much every series I've watched so far has been "shonen".

That means you're probably a young male, mid to late teens.
Yep.  Actually I suppose series based on novels don't technically class as Shonen, but whatever.

Desert Punk, great series about a mercenary, first episode was okay, but after a few in you just get sucked right up through it.

 Note to self: Even if there is a major change to a character you love, don't go finishing the entire series in 48 hours. In fact, don't watch videos right before you fall asleep. If something tragic happens you will want a buffer so you will be able to sleep that night. If you do watch a tragic thing and it is late, just watch the next few videos and not the entire season. You'll just have even more problems sleeping, or concentrating the next few days as you can't fully process what you have just seen.

 Damn you Gurren Lagann. You wonderful bastard.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Higurashi can cause temporary insanity.
I would know.

It's still a good show though.

Hmm, so this series is based on a sortof choose your own adventure videogame?  Does that mean each chapter is a branch made by choosing different choices ingame?

I know about dating games but... they don't tend to involve dating murderers or demons, do they?

Quote from: Wikipedia
TV Tokyo only aired twenty-five of the series' twenty-six episodes, with the finale having been intentionally made too violent and obscene for public broadcast
I'm liking this series already :D.

I really liked the ending to excel saga. I can't remember exactly what it entailed, but I remember liking it.

I've seen like 2 episodes of Excel Saga, I need to watch more.

Is every episode going to end with the Spanish guy going "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"?

I appreciated the ending to excel saga, but I still didn't like it as much as the rest of the show.

Very possibly. Prepare yourself accordingly.
