Indeed, Highschool of the Dead is something I truly like, though I perferred the Subbed version. Have you watched the OVA version yet?

Proof that just because you can watch anime and get on the internet, you don't have to do either. Y'know what his argument was? How short TTGL was.

Of course, I'm referring to the guy who liked Bleach more tha Gurren Lagaan. GL is more or less THE pinnacle of Anime evolution. It is the perfect show ever made. Bleach can't hold a candle to Gurren Lagaan.

If I remember correctly he also said Naruto was better than TTGL, at which point I wished Kamina would fly out of nowhere and Giga Drill Break him up his ass.

Not yet. I'll get around to it eventually, though.

I like Bleach but it gets stale more often than not, this never happened with Gurren Lagann. Less is more.

After reading an article on SciFi Japan about FLCL I'd like to see that and other Gainax shows.

Well, for Gainax animes other than FLCL (given the fact that these are the only two I've actually seen) I have to recommend Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
A great series, good musical score, great characters, good story in both the first and second halves, or yes, and Giant robots, explosions, and boobs.

So I caught the 2nd ep of Durarara!! last night. I missed the first ep last week (was busy watching HOTD), but I'm now VERY interested in this show. Looks like it's gonna be pretty cool.

I have been watching Sekirei on Netflix on my 360 since I have been bored lately. I like it and it's not too bad of a show. Some nice animation and a good amount of fan service as well.

So I just finished reading Tokyo Akazukin after a friend sent me a link. Not sure how I should feel, on one hand it's pretty messed up on the other hand it's not the worse, I've read some far more disturbing mangas, some so bad I couldn't even finish them. Yeah, not sure what to think. Not the worse thing I've read but also something I wouldn't want to go back to.

All I can think is, Kuni what the skreeonk did you just make me read?

@IR: Holy Crap, I just finished HOTD today and you were talking about it before. Weird.

I myself am waiting for the OVA to get dubbed first, because I kind of feel guilty watching anime online that isn't on netflix or an official site. DAMN YOU NEWS VIDEO ABOUT ANIME THAT I SAW!

.... I need to start rewatching one piece.

I should catch up with One Piece, I stop reading after Ace was killed. And JJBA as well, I think I stop reading in the middle of Part 3.

I'm in the middle of three ongoing ones, To Love Ru: Darkness, Unbalance x Unbalance, and Negima and often revisit Love Hina and various other books.

Honestly, I read more manga than I watch anime.

I like to read manga over anime as well. I find it more enjoyable and anime versions of the manga are not often as good if you ask me. The manga version of Devilman, Hellsing, Elfen Lied, One Piece and Saint Seiya are much better IMO.

Another Negima fan on TK?
Sweet, who's more awesome Rakan or Evangeline?
I go the former, but by a slim margin

The manga version of Devilman, Hellsing, Elfen Lied, One Piece and Saint Seiya are much better IMO.

I prefer Evangeline.

How powerful is she compared to Rakan, anyway? I missed the chapter where Rakan got killed by Fate, but wasn't Eva able to handle him pretty easily?

Eva, Rakan, and Nagi are all on the same level- straight up broken

Remember how Fate mentioned that most of the magic world doesn't actually exist and can be erased?

Rakan was one of them, he gets erased after beating Fate in combat with minor difficulty (Also doesn't Fate seem a lot more powerful since entering the magic world)
