So far, my favorite animes are Spice and Wolf and Kanon. Elfen Lied would be on that list, but it was just far too gory in my opinion.

Thank you everyone for the help! I've since flooded the fortress I was working on and now have a new one going up.

Oh hey, I finally got up to date on Dangan Ronpa. I thought they were much further in the story than that!
If only  :'(

I was elected as my anime club's VP (the highest you usually can be without being a senior). Pretty awesome, already picking some anime with the President. This year is the year we will finally be watching Puella Magi Magica Madoka, I'm telling you.

If Madoka had existed when I was in high school, I would have joined just to get them to watch it. Bwahaha.

I was the head of my high school's Japanese Culture Club.  The year before, twin girls had run the JCC and Anime clubs.  When the sisters graduated I took over and the clubs were united into one glorious whole.  My title was "Prince."

I wish I were kidding about this.

When I was a Senior in HS I finally heard announcements for an anime club.  Not that it mattered because

1.  I did not have the nerve to go there and
2.  Common anime fans are...generally not okay to hang around

As in, their personality is intolerable.  I can say this statistically that all of the people I befriended who've watched anime don't talk about anime.  And only the 1/3rd that do are actually cool people to talk with.

It's actually a little shocking when the topic does come up because a lot of people do have interest it just feels weird to talk about it.  Heck I have a hard time saying "anime" out loud.  And even then I could never share my extensive manga or VN library...

Although here's a funny story.  Back in the Fall 2011 semester I was reading the Fate/zero LNs in the library and one of my friends actually caught me in the act.  Obviously when I told him what it was he didn't know what it was but I know he's mentioned liking FMA a lot and that's cool with me.

EDIT:
I realize it's weird to say "when I was a Senior in HS" when I was even less than that earlier in this thread.  Ah growth...

I can back up that both of these are true.

The rule of watching anime is that you don't talk about it in public, lest you be grouped in with the undesirables.

Yes, yes they did. For a tiny bit.

I never seen an anime actually outright destroy my suspension of disbelief before.

EXCEPT maybe Saint Seiya and the Lost Canvas... with the guy who kept moving with every bone broken and no blood in their body.

Oh yes, also agreed. If you somehow get grouped into lots of anime fans, you can be sure someone will pester you with kawaiis and desus. Either that, or they'll tell you a lot of facts for things you didn't even ask about.

Thank you for all the fish. It was a good run.

There are always people like that in all walks of life. I remember some of my responses to those who really overdo it are: "No, didn't know that anime factoid nor do I care", "Yes, I know she's the town bicycle...so?", "No, I don't give a damn who that movie star is currently having a fling with", "Who are you & how did you keep getting in my house?"

Anywho...just watched Hyouka. What's this? A locked door mystery with no one murdered? With a realistically simple & feasible explanation? With no random ordinary everyday guy with a knack for overly complicated impromptu plan to eliminate those who wronged them? In Anime Japan?

...Gotta' admit...it was rather refreshing actually.

Okay I'm inspired enough to counteract that positiveness I guess.

On chapter 9 of Chaos;Head.  On volume 6 of Bokurano since I'm caught up with Berserk.  Holy shit the despair.  Zetsubou.

22 hours playtime I think

And of course Bokurano, the manga everybody has read but me.  Taz has given me highlighted passages that the manga version is way superior because of

I was in an anime club, but then I realized I liked watching shows alone, without having people talk and commentate all the time.
