I gather as such from his repeated insistence that all human kind are secretly irredeemable monsters as well as the fact that he as gone to such exotic lengths to place his characters in inescapable, horrific peril from which none survive

Shortly after watching the show I tried to start reading Gantz.

It was immediately obvious that you're better off pretending the show is the real ending.

I skipped right to the hentai doujins.

No, no, that was still just Gantz.

Somehow I missed Kino's Journey when it was new.

It is a magical journey.

Having recently seen Redline I can say without a shred of doubt that it is the most wonderfully entertaining thing to come out of anime in years.

Does anyone know if Zetsubou Sensei is worth getting into? I feel like it would get old fast.

Does anyone know if Zetsubou Sensei is worth getting into? I feel like it would get old fast.

The weird thing about SZS is how long it takes to get old. The manga finally got old for me after 6~7 volumes, but I never got tired of the anime. Even when the plot gets formulaic, the animators manage to keep it interesting visually, and occasionally audibly. It's basically perfectly timed to get more obtuse and bizarre when you'd start getting tired of it. In fact, the later seasons are better than the first because they realize it's starting to get old and have to work to make it entertaining.

So, as long as you don't watch every episode in one long marathon, it shouldn't get old.

Anyway, in more recent anime, I'm very much enjoying poyo poyo kansatsu nikki. It's basically CAT VIDEOS: The Anime--Starring Poyo the catloaf, and I wish it were more than 3 minutes per episode. The one downside is it makes my screen name seem unoriginal despite this coming into existence afterwards.

I'm with Catloaf on Zetsubou Sensei. I enjoyed the series and it was popular enough to get a second season.

After finishing The World God Only Knows in anime form, I think I may just pick up the manga. It has me curious to see where it goes.

so I watched some animes i never had the chance to

narutaru - aside from eps 2 and final this is filler garbage
cowboy bebop - pretty good but I wish it had more fisticuffs
boogiepop phantom - i couldn't stand awake for long enough to understand it

i guess the problem is that i have terminal adhd

Steins Gate is decent (for one, it actually makes the tsundere basically human-like instead of the standard slap-baka-hentai-shinji generating machine that you'd wonder why anyone would ever want to deal with) but I really wish anime would cut it with the otaku pandering. I'm not going to relate to characters any more just because they watch the same shows I do.

Also, spoilers: [spoiler]if you want to make the audience feel bad for someone dying, don't make them really, really annoying.[/spoiler]
