Ah yus, I watched it raw before. Quite nice indeed, much better than Nagisa lol :p The "main" chars in key games/adaptations always are my least favourite I think x< Oh wait no, that's not true, Misuzu in Air was by far my favourite! But true for Kanon / Clannad.

Koihime Musou ep2 I quite enjoyed, definitely going to stick with that series.

Negima OAD was all kinds of awesome btw! If they made a series like that it'd be the best thing ever, shame the OADs will only be 3 episodes total covering 6 chapters :(

Mai-Otome Sifr #3 was ace.

I'm still watching Torador, didn't like it at first, but its kinda grew on me.

Sifr 3 was nice indeed, made me actually want to see another Mai Otome series (about rena's power etc).

Recently the most interesting thing I've gotten into is the Kara no Kyoukai movies. While I initially skimmed through the first movie and didn't find it that interesting, I later randomly tried the third movie, and it was really nice. So I have since watched them all and while slow at times, the whole story and world is just fascinating. Movie 5 recently came out on dvd and it was totally awesome, been a long time since I've seen a movie which captivated me so well. Now just waiting on the last 2 chapters movies to be out on dvd.. also apparently before the cinematic premier of no7 there's gonna be a recap movie too, which may or may not be good.. it'll probably make things a bit clearer atleast, since the current movies follow the light novels chapters, which are not chronologically ordered (presumably the recap movie will be chronological).

Anyways, check it out if you haven't already! The original novels are by the makers of Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night etc.. it's about Ryougi Shiki who, like Tohno Shiki in Tsukihime, has the Eyes of Death Perception and so can end stuff's existence with a few cuts.

Oh and Negima OAD ep2 was only alright~ but ep3 was awesome again! I wish it weren't over :( can only hope for some more of them as the manga progresses.

I'm a massive fan of Type Moon, so i was looking forward to KnK after reading the novel.

My favorite this season is Maria Hollic.

Watch Kara no Kyoukai! also, there's 2nd series of Wolf and Spice (july-ish) and Strike Witches (october?) coming in the future. Summary pic of the new april~ season: http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/6350/1237673772295.jpg new KyoAni show is K-ON! which is based on a 4 koma. FMA v2.0 is a must see of course, the rest of the listing, I don't really know :p Queen's Blade atleast has lots of gorgeous girls (Airi, Nyx <3 ) but who can say how it'll turn out. Hatukoi Gentei manga is by the same guy who did Ichigo 100%, it was alright, some of the girls were nice, anime will probably be dreadful. More Hayate for those who liked season 1, apparently a different studio is doing it though, weirdly. OVA of Koihime Musou in april (woot) and shin koihime musou series in october, (wootwoot!) I'm still not sure if it's actually good or I have no taste, but I really loved series 1 of Koihime Musou and Kanu/Aisha is just awesome. Also looking forwards to the next KissXsis OAD, since the first one was lots of pseudo-incestuous fun.

Hmm enough about the future! Of the currently airing/recently finished stuff: To Aru Majutsu no Index was pretty good overall, each of the story arcs are quite self contained and there's no real larger plot, so it's kinda episodic (cept in arcs of episodes) but the various arcs are good enough. First arc was alright, 2nd was quite boring though and actually made me drop the show for a while (or fall behind hugely rather) but then the third arc had MISAKA who was awesomely wonderfully great and that alone was enough to firmly hook me on the series. Watch Kara no Kyoukai! (Also after the ending, which 'hints' at a series2, there is an announcement of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun airing in october, which is the side stories featuring Misaka and Kuroko as the main characters. Since the arcs with Misaka were the best thing in Index, this is of course awesome news, especially as we shall hopefully see more MISAKA too!)

Rideback is pretty nice too, one episode left to go to wrap things up. Hmm not really sure what more to say about it without spoilering it, interesting story and worth checking out anyways.

Gundam 00 season 2 is pretty bad tbh, I really enjoyed series 1 (it got very good by the ending) but season 2 is just grraghargharg and lame :( Quite disappointed, though it's still got me hooked enough to be quickly downloaded as soon as it's out.

Tower Of Druada Sword of Uruk is pretty good overall, animation quality kinda low a lot of the time but doesn't really matter. If you liked series 1 you'll like series 2 pretty much. Watch Kara no Kyoukai!

Recently I restarted on Shugo Chara (or Shugo Chara! Doki! as the second season is called) tis the same magical girl goodness as always, and dear god, the OP is so freaking cute.

Also 4 more episodes of Negima! OAD are confirmed woohoo! http://zepy.momotato.com/2009/02/11/neg ... -season-2/

P.S. Watch Kara no Kyoukai!
