xD omg.. I think Nick told me about 1 + 2 = Paradise because I don't think it's on my list and if it is he put it there XD .. I'm sorry.. if you ever wanna watch a decent ecchi show you could watch Yamada's First Time XD; that's one of the few I actually like.. but 1 + 2 = Paradise is a scary show indeed.. makes me giggle you watched it though.
I finished Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters today and I'm sorda sad xD I had to give the show 3.5/5 stars, because as a whole the show has a lot of really good arcs but has some of the shittiest filler I've ever seen >.>;;; but.. ;_; the ending made me really sad.. and I'm sad I no longer get to watch it XD
Sorry for the late reply.. again.. I've had no internet for a while but now all is well xD I like your style of watching things. For me personally.. I'm really unorganized xD;; but.. I try to watch things relating to a show all at once.
The new Berserk movies.. are pretty good, it's just... there's a lot of CG in them and it's somewhat good and... somewhat not. So far it's all what has already been covered in the original anime (I've watched the first movie now, should update that in my list xD) but they added in things from the manga, like Skull Knight. They got the same dub cast, which is awesome IMO, but -- a fair warning, sometimes it looks a tad bit bizarre and distracting when it shouldn't be. I hear they're going to improve it when they do the next "arc" of films, for which I'm excited.
As for what I said about Vampire Knight being sorda like Fruits Basket.. xD; I know a lot of harem shows have the "all the boys have problems" thing but at least in Fruits Basket and other similar shows the problems were somewhat realistic or even completely realistic in the show's context, especially in Nana. While Vampire Knight's whole drama revolving Kaname drives me insane, the side characters' little dramatic problems feel like they don't matter -- while in Fruits Basket they did. Except for Hiro, little brat. >_>; I especially feel that way about the ice guy in Vampire Knight, I didn't understand his bullshit whiney emo angst about being obsesed with Kaname XD
I've started watching so many things lately X_X Nick has been in a "Let's watch this!! .... and this!! and this!!" mood XD and I'm like "YES LETS DO IT" and then I'm like, five episodes into each show and we don't watch them for a while and then I'm sad.. but I started Pandora Hearts yesterday.. which is super neat and I think you'd really enjoy it, it has an "I betcha Alex-chan would dig this shiz" vibe.. yeah >.> and them I'm almost done finishing House of Five Leaves (it's in it's Japanese name on the site but I can never remember what it's actually called xD) which is wonderful and heartfelt. I'm waiting on my 2nd box of Rose of Versailles to come in the mail.. that show is subbed online via fansubs and now is actually licensed.. the fansubs I had a while but the quality was super old and difficult to see things so the dvd release is worth it.. but if you wanted to watch it it's on this site called Viki to watch.. which is an awesome site.. it has shows from many different countries.. so it has a LOT of Korean dramas and then has anime, primarily by Osamu Tezuka but it also has Brother Dear Brother.. *_*.. and then lotsa other stuff too. I think you can watch like, all of Popeye the Sailor on there XD
anywhoooI loves you <3 :D I saw you finished Key the Metal Idol.. and liked it.. I'm glad yay
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you here -- I've been working and/or not at home much XD; so I haven't had much time to type on my computer, and my phone doesn't let me type a lot without messing up.
My first experience with Vampire Knight was, at a Hastings that was closing down, some (presumably a dad) guy bought this ornate as all fuck Vampire Knight mirror? XD it was weird. I actually sort of liked Yuki, but only because to me it felt like her... problem/dilemma was clear. She liked/loved Zero but Kaname did hold a special place to her. UNLIKE Momo, who --- ...>_> just couldn't make up her mind. Kaname just seems to be obsessed with her to such a degree it freaks me out. I don't love Yuki, but I feel she's better than some female leads in shojo series I guess XD;; like... she seemed more helpful and willing to sacrifice things to help others unlike the typical "I'll sacrifice anyhting for you but I'll cry about it constantly..." type character. She wasn't super special, but she was better than a lot of like... run of the mill characters. I gues she impressed me or didn't really bother me because she did things. She saved her man more times than the man saved her. I guess I enjoy that more than the poor pitiful me person --- but she isn't a super stand out lead either, like Haruhi from Ouran or the main girl of Skip Beat, etc.
I liked the teacher/man hunter guy but sadly Shiki was my super least favorite of the side characters XD; we didn't really get why he was there... at all... he just always popped up with a blank expression on his face.. I have a feeling if I read the manga I might like him though... I liked the blonde guy with straight hair (not the ice user) but Nick and I were biased because he's voiced by the guy who voices Shinji Ikari in the dub XD;; so we sort of.. really like his voice actor so we were amused heavily by him. I feel like the show is, like you said, awkwardly overrated by some anime fans. It's not the worst ever, as I feel it gets some things right, but it also has a lot of awkward over-dramatic problems and does the whole Fruits Basket "all the boys have problems" thing a little too cliche for me XD; ... overall, I enjoyed it, it's passable... but I don't think it's as good as a lot of other shows in the same genre. I'll watch Guilty whenever Nick and I get in a "lets marathon something random" mood -- he was the one who even suggested a bishounen-y show so I was amused XD
We have this show called Virus Buster Surge and I haven't finished it but it's bad XD; Street Fighter II V ... starts okay... then.. does the same thing for the last 15 episodes XD;;; ... Wedding Peach is almost so bad it's good >_> like hilariously stupid... then a lot of OVAs I've watched.. Psychic Force.. Angel Cop.. etc...>.>;;; also.. Dan-Doh the Super Shot is stupid.. it's about a kid in a golf tournament but the fucking golf ball smiles.. >______>;;;Yeah...
And it's okay to like High School of the Dead! I'm surprised you enjoyed it -- I just tried it and didn't really like it. I might go watch it again sometime (it's on my don't watch list, but a lot of things there get moved off eventually) ... It's just one of those shows where "I have nothing against it but I don't really care to see it" shows ... I couldn't get into it. It does look pretty though. And um Nick tried Dance in the Vampire Bund and didn't like it at all xD for the same reasons you seem to give me.
Anywhooo I love you! What've you been watching lately?? I'm almost done with Outlaw Star and recently finished a great show called Brigadoon... which I recommend... and blahhh.. I can't wait till you're here.. I have lotsto show you xD
xD!!! I knew you'd say something.. haha.. Nick wanted something random to marathon so we marathoned it.. We really hate Kaname.. we swear he puts a tracer or something on Yuki because he is ALWAYS there when she turns around. Always. All the time XD;
We both like Zero.. the show isn't great at all, but it's not the worst thing I've seen. I think one of my biggest problem with it is there were too many useless characters, haha. That and the dialogue was pretty terrible at times... very melodramatic.. but.. eh.. it was okay. Not as bad as Wedding Peach or other things I've seen OVA wise. We're interested to see where it goes but I know Guilty is supposed to be sort of worseish? But we're gunna try anyway.. >.>
Well unfortunately, Noir hasn't really aged well. It's really slow-paced almost atmospheric style works if you're in the right mood for it, and I still like it, but I don't think I'll ever really desire to revist it. If you want to see the same thing done better (it's by the same animation studio) watch Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~.. which is two assassins again but it's much faster paced with those same cool kill shots and the same atmosphere.. so whenever you're in the mood for that, go for it XD
I'm glad to hear "Say I love you" is worth getting then :D I'd read quite a bit about how enjoyable it was coming out, and when I saw it got licensed I was happy.. I tend to pay more attention to shojo/josei titles and whether or not they get licensed.. bahaha.
My history with FMA is a little less surrounded by fangirls, but I totally get what you mean. I know it's a big hit with many people, but everytime I watched it when I was younger I was turned off by the humor. And, honestly, it's the same kind of humor that's present in all shonen shows, including One Piece (which I watch for the humor) so I shouldn't entirely mind it ... but for some reason in FMA i never liked it. So it really took a good shove for CJ to make me watch it XD and I've liked it mostly so far. Shou Tucker's whole part is condensed to 1 episode in Brotherhood, but he was still really fucked up. Mustang just grew on me after a while, I didn't really care at first but I didn't realize he had a crazy fangirl following XD bahaha.. so yeah... Alphonse I enjoy more because not only is his philosophy more realistic but he's also a more realistic character in my opinion. I mean, I like Ed, he's funny, but Al actually seems like he's a young boy to me. I like that. Despite being in a suit of armor, he seems like the character he's supposed to be.
And oh god. Wallflower. XD It was on sale at a dvd store near here, so I bought it, and have watched a little.. with Nick... and yeah.. the art is... wow.. XD but it si funny. It's one of those shows we've popped in to show people like, "Hey, wanna see the ugliest people ever????" xD;;
