    Watched some Freezing. It's odd, like a bloddy version of Sekirei.

    I'm trying to catch up on fairy tail, it feels a lot like one piece but its stll good.

    I've come to a verdict on Robotics;Notes and Psycho-pass as well. Assuming they dont change a ton from the way they are right now, Psycho-pass will be good but Robotics;Notes will just be mediocre. However, I cant hep but think that R;N will get build up to be better after the first third of it is over. Psycho-pass just seems like it will be good all the way through, and has the same dark feel to it that Darker than Black and Ghost in he Shell had.

    But thats just my predictions, I've been wrong before, and would like to be again. It isnt fun predicting where the story will turn and end up being right.

    There are a ton of good ones on there, but those are the ones that stood out based on what you seem to like and dislike. I recommend the bold ones and strongly recommend the green ones.

    I'd recommend:

    Angel Beats - Modern Fantasy
    Bakemonogatari - Modern Fantasy
    Black Rock Shooter - SciFi/Fantasy
    Cowboy Bebop - SciFi
    Death Note - Modern Fantasy
    High School DxD - Ecchi/Fantasy
    Highschool of the Dead - Ecchi/Zombies
    Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls - Ecchi/Modern Fantasy
    Kampfer - Ecchi/SciFi
    K-On! - Slice of Life
    Mirai Nikki - Modern Fantasy/SciFi
    Sekirei - Ecchi/SciFi
    Soul Eater - Modern Fantasy
    Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Minor Ecchi/Mecha
    The Merlencholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Modern Fantasy/SciFi
    Toaru Majutsu no index - Minor Ecchi/SciFi
    To Love Ru - Ecchi/Slice of life
    Toradora! - Romance

    I hope my genre descriptions are good, I tried to think of appropriate 1 word descriptions for them all. Ecchi series are all clearly labeled so if you're not into it, don't bother.

    I'd also recommend if you are able to get hold of them/watch online:

    Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Magical Girl
    Nisemonogatari - Modern Fantasy (2nd Series of Bakemonogatari)
    Toaru Kagaku no Railgun - Minor Ecchi/SciFi (Spin-off of Toaru Majutsu no Index)

    2. Favourite Trap anime
    3. Favourite prince/princess
    4. Favourite Slice of Life anime
    5. Favourite AMV

    I feel a lust for the blood of those fools who created such an unholy list. Their lives became forfeit the instant SAO AND Fate/Zero were out on that list. Toradora also sealed their demise.

    i honestly dont remember a single damned song from any of those on the list. All i really remember is the stuff from Champloo and Bebop tbh. Ofc this is regarding the music in the anime, not op's, there are plenty of op's I distinctly remember.

    One of the cooler things I think about Champloo is that Mugen is voice by Steve Blum (This dude is everywhere really but Spike from BeBop is the most recognized one)

    And the guy voicing Jin is the same dude that did relatively the same character in Kenshin lol.

    Which is the best Gundam series? I watched the first episode of Gundam 00 and liked it, which are the best ones to watch?

    Also started that Cthulu anime that I can't remember the name of. Something Nyarko-san.

    Ive seen the three I mentioned along with some of the older ones that were less futuristic and more of a "gundam meets mechwarrior + jungle warfare"

    I think a notable mention should go to gundam unicorn, i cant wholeheartedly support it because I dont think Ive seen it all, but what I did see was pretty good for story and amazing animation.
