Hi!

Completely out of the blue, I have to say that Higurashi no naku koro ni is the best anime ever.

And if it wasn't for me having my dwarves race against Toady One I should get back into playing the first game in the second set of the games ...

Higurashi no naku koro ni - Dwarf Fortress - Higurashi no naku koro ni - Dwarf Fortress - Higurashi no naku koro ni - Dwarf Fortress - ... Argh! Awesome overload! :) :) :) :)

Deathworks
Shame the translaty people don't seem to be working on it anymore. Got the first 4 Umineko games in English though, so I should be busy for a while.

I need something to watch while I take another break from Bleach.

Hadn't heard of it (obviously).  So, Mr. Rabble, why do you recommend it?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant to make that a link to the wikipedia or something... but I forgot. :-[


I recommend it because it contains absurd superpowers, dangerous levels of manliness (not quite TTGL levels, but pretty close), and I'm really bad at explaining things like this.

Haha, that's all right.  Thanks for the explanation.  Might check it out...


But for now, I recommend Seirei no Moribito, if only for the ludicrously splendid artstyle.  I'm not sure about the plot (haven't finished it), but so far I've found it engaging--engaging enough that I'll just say "go watch the first episode, and if you like it then watch the rest."

Also, the female lead is voiced by the Major.  Just go watch it already.

Seconded.
Not an ideal show by any means, but still one of the more interesting ones out there.
Serious and smart, but not overly philosophical. Slow paced and introspective, but punctuated with sudden outbursts of brutal action. High degree of realism and no slapstick/fanservice whatsoever.

Some of the plot points could use more polishing though.

edit: also, Vector, some anger issues there? Getting all aggressive-defensive over Escaped Lunatic's post?

Yeah, I still haven't figured out how to stop getting angry when I'm confused.  It's a knee-jerk reaction.  Got kind of put aside, though, in favor of other personal improvements... thanks for the reminder.

Watch dennou coil, seto no hanayome, monster, rozen maiden, Ah! My Goddess, Kimagure Orange Road, Ranma1/2

and those are all the not-so-obvious-but-really-good ones I know
