Anime anyone?
Dimmukane:
Jumping on the Avatar love train. Just started watching last week and am halfway through Book 2. It really is a great show; my uncle told he me he really dug it like 4 years ago when his daughters were watching it and I thought it looked lame. My friend made me watch Sozin's Comet one day and I instantly regretted ever having those thoughts. When I get the chance I'm definitely picking up the DVDs.
It also kind of underlined how little I actually enjoy anime as a whole. Out of everything I've watched, I've only enjoyed this, some of the Miyazaki movies and Dead Leaves. I haven't seen a lot of Japanese stuff, but I've seen a few episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist, a LOT of Rurouni Kenshin, and a smattering of others and not really dug it at all. Maybe it's having them being written with English as the native language, or maybe it's that they're on either end of the 'batshit insanely unrealistic vs. pretty believable with some added fantastical elements added' spectrum.

Since nobody mentioned it, currently airing is Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It combines the standard magical girl formula with an interesting story and Shinbo's artgasms. As far as I know the most discussed anime right now. There is lots of delicious architecture with glass everywhere and the monsters look nightmarish. I recommend watching the first three episodes at least, since that's where the big discussions began. Some screenshots from episode 1:

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and Bakemonogatari are my most favourite things ever but for the most part SHAFT is a bit hit or miss. I'll definitely check out Puella Magi Madoka Magica, looks interesting.
