Infinite Stratos.

After watching NGE and reading Saikano, the quality differences...

Astounding.

IS isn't really to be taken seriously, everyone only watched it for the girls.

I wish that my roommate were a more dedicated anime watcher, then we could somewhat consistently watch the things that he likes without there being huge gaps of weeks or more between each episode.

So then. Since the release of the first Madoka Magica soundtrack has this fresh on my mind, I'm curious what others might say. The following is a list of anime I intend to watch at some point, though I can confidently say it fails to cover everything I've ever made note of to watch.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The question, of course, being which ones I should watch first. And what recommendations people might have.

Read Saikano.

Watch Neon Genesis Evangelion, Last Exile, Kino's Journey, Wolf's Rain, and Paranoia Agent.

Wait, did they make a sequel?

I keep on thinking that I should go and rewatch the original series.  Maybe that's a good excuse...

Seen NGE, but it's probably worth rewatching. Actually, I'm rather certain it is if only because I haven't seen End yet and I've been intending to do so. Paranoia Agent... oh dear, that was such a confusing yet incredibly entertaining mess when I saw it. That's probably worth rewatching. I'll certainly look into the others, though.

RahXephon is another I should get to watching, since it's come up.

And as long as I'm looking for recommendations, can anyone point me toward composers similar to Yuki Kajiura?

Well, Pluralitas Concentio is the movie adaptation of the series... but IIRC its an adaptation, not a continuation, so, uhhh, I don't think so then, I guess.

Alas, I was not aware of this fact.

I am not one of those churls who can be distracted from a bland, recycled plot by boobs and such. I'll finish it, though, because I hate not finishing a show. It drives me crazy even if the show in question isn't so good.

I'm going back to NGE, even though it hurts so much

That or I'll begin watching Last Exile or continue Cowboy Bebop, idfk

Oh, and Ghost in the Shell, Haibane Renmei, and Serial Experiments Lain.

In case you didn't guess, my favorite genre is mindscrew :D

[...]Haibane Renme[...]

Hmm, to bad I somehow only got a terribly low quality version of this.
Let's see if I can dig up a better one someday...

Meanwhile:
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (continuing)
Spice and Wolf (waiting for new episodes)
The World God Only Knows (waiting for new episodes)
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko (testing)
Blue Exorcist (testing)
Oreimo (testing)

What's "the world god only knows?"  It sounds kind of familiar, but I can't quite place it.
