    Sorry to let you down, but I've finished all of those a while ago. (NGE both anime and rebuild movies, Haruhi is a given that I've finished it and the movie.)

    I almost forgot; Hyouka is an ongoing mystery anime produced by Kyoto Animation. However, there isn't any horror so far and I doubt there will be any in future episodes. This one is also more light hearted than most mystery anime.

    I think I'm going to resume watching it after finishing the others on my list. The animation is absolutely stunning.

    Oh, then you should update your MAL. NGE is not on there, Higurashi isn't, and only the first season of Haruhi is.

    I made a MAL account, so friend me and stuff.

    Auburn was taken.

    It's going to be a pain updating the list of anime. Not the greatest system.

    Thanks for reminding me to do that, I haven't updated the list in a while now. It's such a pain to add things to my list since I don't remember some of them until someone else starts talking about them. I pretty much only explicitly remember the really good ones, most of the rest I just recall bits of. There's just no way I could remember the titles to ALL of the anime I've seen, with no assistance in recalling them.

    With that, you have my thanks, my list is just a little more accurate now.

    (I added you Auburn, obviously I am Aschur on there as well)

    I made a MAL account too. HeartSky. Because they won't let me have a unicode heart. I also have an account by the same name on Anime Planet. Go find me.

    I friended you Sky. It's a bit tough remembering all the anime you've ever watched, but I'm going to try and finish the list up tonight.

    I feel incredibly silly that I JUST found out today that the english VA for Ciel Phantomhive in Black Butler, is a woman. (the character is a boy though)

    This probably is more commonplace than I would have originally have thought, primarily in anime with slightly girly male characters (I suppose Ciel would could as one of those) Seriously though, this chick has done voices for a tone of ****, and I never realized it until now.

    Now that we're kinda on the topic:

    Who are your favorite english Voice Actors? Mine are;
    http://myanimelist.net/people/10/Johnny_Yong_Bosch
    http://myanimelist.net/people/43/Vic_Mignogna
    http://myanimelist.net/people/317/Liam_OBrien
    and apparently Brina Palencia now too.

    I rarely ever watch english dubs so that's a hard question, but I would say Tristan Macavery. He voiced Gendou from NGE.

    I'm going to attempt to make an AMV; however, the only two anime I have download right now are Yosuga no Sora and Green Green. I will definatly not do the latter, so it will more than likely be YnS, haha. This'll be funny.

    I don't know which series I should use... I have quite a few in HD so I'm spoilt for choice. Need a good song too.

    Were I to make an AMV, which I both have sufficient anime on file, and music for which to use... I would use either Steins;Gate, Fate/Zero, or Gantz.

    I don't think I have a movie editor though... so, I dunno what to do for that.

    20. Gundam Seed
    I would have to use Windows Movie Maker, haha. On second thought, I might hold off on making an AMV.

    Naruto is coming to an end apparantly. It's my longest running series, so it will be sad seeing it concluded, though I don't want it to end up like Bleach.

    In a recent interview with Asahi, he said that Naruto is “building towards a climax,” that its ending is already determined, and that “all that is left is a dash up to the ending.”
    Just how long this “dash” to the ending will take is of course of crucial importance given the notoriously glacial pace of shonen battle manga, but on that point he is silent.

    There'll be more Naruto. You can't keep something that's been running for so long as it has dowwn. There'll be some sort of side story tacked in that'll be 6 million episodes long in the works somewhere.

    I agree with all of the anime on that list that I've seen. Some need moving around and swapping around (Bake and K-ON need switching at minimum) but it's still a pretty good list. Angel Beats should be top 3 easy.

    I just finished the Hanako ending of Katawa Shoujo a few minutes ago. I think I REALLY like visual novels.

    In all seriousness, and no offence to you. But that is a terrible list. I'm not going to go into the details as to why, because well personally it is my opinion. But anyways...


    I started Durarara!! two nights ago, I am currently on episode 12. I think I found a new waifu, Celty.

    Iron, I don't write these lists. I paste them from a site that periodically writes them with the chance that they might spark some sort of discussion.

    I would move Bakemonogatari, Angel Beats, NGE and Gundam Seed to the top five at least. I would also add Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo somewhere in there.

    But Misaka wears... well, nevermind.

    EDIT: This is somewhat relevant to anime and pretty damn funny.


    The LDP has announced it is considering a Gundam development program, with the presumed intent of defending Japan with an army of giant robots.
    On a political talk-show broadcast on NicoNico Douga, LDP parliamentarians including the LDP’s vice president Tadamori Oshima and former party general secretary Bunmei Ibuki revealed the LDP was “seriously considering” a “Gundam development project.”
    This policy would apparently incorporate both industrial promotion of the development of bipedal robots, and their military employment.
    This is not the first time the fascination of Japanese with militarily ludicrous giant robots has reached into the official sphere – previously civil servants famously developed cost estimates for the construction of a Gundam unit – but it probably represents the
    Online the plan has attracted the expected ridicule (although the prospect of seeing a billion dollar titan toppled by a hundred dollar shell to the knee admittedly has a certain appeal), as well as some suspicion that it is part of a crude attempt by the censorship loving LDP to curry favour with the creepy right-wing otaku demographic – and, this being Japan, some actual support.

    Funny thing is, I was just about to link that for people to discuss. Nice timing.

    I personally think that Gundams are ****ing awesome, no doubt about that. I do however doubt that a real Gundam would function as sweet as they do though. I think we'd be closer to having something like the mechs from Guilty Crown or Code Geass before a functioning Gundam.

    EDIT: my avatar and sig are now my favorite two ladies. I feel like I change my signature too often.
