O-haaaai!
Supersherlockwhovian, I occasionally indulge myself the pleasantries of the animation world. Took one year off everything anime-related; now I'm trying to catch up, or at least finish some series. Tolkien-head, but not that judgemental when it comes to Jackson; I like to consider myself somewhat of an "open-mind". Potterhead to the grave and beyond.
Greatest fear? Keanu Reeves as Spike in a Hollywood-remake of the greatest series ever made.
My ship? Bad boy always gets the girl. High wind under under thy sail, oh ship o'mine!
I will always watch anything that Shinichiro Watanabe lays his hands on - his sole name is enough a trademark to make me give the title at least a chance. Same goes for Yoko Kanno.
My time is my own, but my patience is very limited - I don't have it for new "trendy" series, and if I give it a chance, well, that's the best I can do.
Anime ratings here are based solely on how much I've enjoyed one show or another, but sometimes nice visuals can add half of star or even a whole star even if the plot or characters lacked a bit in savour.
My favourite character is by far, Kamina from TTGL, and Heiwajima Shizuo follows him closely, as well as Holland Novak. My favourite seiyuu is Shinichiro Miki. Other seiyuu's I worshiplike are Romi Park, Mamoru Miyano, Koichi Yamadera, Keiji Fujiwara, Katsuyuki Konishi, Daisuke Ono [he voiced Heiwajima Shizuo in a way I never thought it was humanly possible] and craploads of many others.
Mulling time is over, my friends. Please allow me to present you my top 5.
Top 5
1. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
2. Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
3. Cowboy Bebop
4. Towa no Quon
5. Eureka SeveN
Totally obsessed with:
Music: G.i.t.S., E7, Sakamichi no Apollon, Sousei no Aquarion, Cowboy Bebop
Artwork: Masamune Shirou, Range Murata, Kaori Yuki
Composer: Yoko Kanno
Director : Shinichiro Watanabe; Mamoru Oshii [y/y?]
Ongoing Anime : Eureka Seven AO
Last thing that made my jaw drop, roll on the floor, cry in despair and reach Nirvana, all in the same time: Towa no Quon
My advice to you, as a fellow anime fan? Never underestimate the power of older guys with glasses.

Anyway Kitsune, you got a birthday this summer also? I hope that I get enough time to learn basic Japanese.
By the way, I watched Sorcerer Hunters, Vision of Escaflowne, Madlax, Dot Hack Sign and Arc The Lad last year, via 9anime.
In other news, I'm thinking of re-watching Fafner in the Azure and Zegapain (underrated Sunrise anime featuring the awesome Ayako Kawasumi) this year too until this Behind The Line or third installment of the Fafner franchise is confirmed.
I kind of wish that the Bang Zoom ADR people could dub Fafner Exodus. Still, I love Sanae Kobayashi as Canon Memphis and the veteran lady Emi Shinohara did a great job too.
Speaking of Emi Shinohara, I happened to re-watch Big O a month ago while washing dishes so I could hear her voice and Wendee Lee's side to side. Girls know Emi Shinohara as Sailor Jupiter.
You're welcome and by the way, my big, supertomboyish Gemini showed me this Den of Geek article about Harmony Gold and Big West working together to bring new Macross movies across the globe. The two parties will also translate old installments and license them globally.
That would be great news for countries being starved of anime like Germany, Australia or even Greece.
Other than that, I'm still a great big fan of Cowboy Bebop. I also like the fact that Faye's seiyuu is a famous J-Pop singer. This fine anime also helped the lovely lady Maaya Sakamoto become the veteran actress that she is today.
With many of today's anime being dweeb pandering garbage and the industry running out of ideas, I ended up watching X-Files instead.
Hello Kitsune! Just came by to say that you got good overall taste in anime.
Hello! sothis is redesigning the anime-planet site, and plans to roll out an awesome new site design in July, we believe. The blog feature is not part of the new design, and it is going away. More information about this here: Announcement: the blog feature is being deprecated topic link. (Be sure to check out the new site design when it goes live!)
\r\nThe blog pages are going away, and will be gone when the site redesign goes live. Your blog here will be removed from the site.
\r\nSo, if want to keep the information posted in your blog, you will need to copy this information someplace else on the site. If you have any questions how or where to do this, please feel free to get back to me, and I will try to assist.
\r\n(For instance, your blogs posting your thoughts and commentary on how you are feeling and on daily activities can be posted into existing topics in the site's discussion forums to share with other members here.)
