The Current Watchlist - February
::: Finished
Kara no Kyoukai
I don't think the ending could've been any more of a dissapointment to me compared to what it could have been. It's still in my top 5 series because of the first five episodes and how insanely good the fight scenes are; both of which go down the crapper in the last episode.
Darker than Black, Welcome to the NHK
Not finished, but the semester ended with both of these around ep. 20, and I'm not planning on finishing them. Strangely enough, this is the second time I've watched NHK and not finished it. I don't have anything against either, but they just aren't series that compel me to move forward.
Kampfer
Meh. These series are ones that are nice to watch once in a while, but it's yet another series that I won't watch again...
::: Started
So-ra-no-wo-to (or Sora no Woto...)
This is about the ultimate challenge in linking other series to this series. An opening visually reminiscent of Elfen Lied and audibly reminiscent of .hack//SIGN brings a 5-character spread taken vaguely from K-ON; with Ritsu taking over Mio's body, Azusa/Tsumugi/Yui looking identical, save Yui watching Lain and wanting to match the hairstyle and Azusa being posessed by Shirai Kuroko from To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, and an albino Yuki Nagato filling in. I'm only catching up at this point, so right now it just seems like a pretty normal moe series right now, with less of the music-theme that brought me into K-ON. On the other hand, the series hold much of the pacing and feel of one of my top series, Haibane Renmei, which may make this series end up as a blend of the two - something I'm perfectly fine having watched.
Now and Then, Here and There
I haven't actually started this yet, but it's my next series to start going through once I catch up on everything else.
::: Actively Watching
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Now I'm even on the original and new version. The series was really looking like it was branching into too many stories in parallel ("Inuyasha syndrome") started merging quickly and is moving surprisingly fast.
Bleach
I've pretty much caught up after stopping at the filler arc's introduction, after hearing that it was a pretty good arc; I've pretty much restarted watching this just out of need for things to watch.
::: Passively Watching
Bakemonogatari, Shakugan no Shana S
Both of these fall under the "there hasn't been anything new for a while" banner.
Naruto: Shippuuden
::: Dropped
Ouran High School Host Club, Asura Cryin'
Both are more of "I'd rather watch other things than something I haven't watched in a long time"
::: Looking forward to...
Letsee, movie-wise there's The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya and Evangelion 2.0 coming in the next few months. There's a second season of K-ON coming as well. Umineko Chiru won't be out until at least fall, by my guess, since there's still two Comikets until the story's complete. There's probably some other series that I'm going to pick up or work on.
