I've become addicted...

I like the books. The anime doesn't do it for me, though.

I'm just watching the show now. If the ending's any good then I'll probably buy the books.

Awesome. You watching Japanese or English dub?

English dub. I miss all the action when I'm reading subtitles.

I don't really like English dubs. They lack all of the menacing edge of Japanese in the really passionate scenes.

But I love Death Note. It's the only anime I've had the patience to watch all the way through.

The only thing that bugs me is the retarded over acting.

I agree on the over acting thing, but yeah death note is a good anime. I'm thinking about getting the manga from my friend and reading them or reading them online, he told me the ending is pretty weird.

I'm hoping the ending doesn't wind up something really fuckin' lame.

The ending is epic.

Good stuff. I remember wanting to bust some heads when Blue Gender finished. That ending was retarded.

I've read some of Death Note.. I remember really liking it, but then I never read more.. hm..

-runs off to the library-

Death Note I never really got into, but hey if it's your kind of anime, go ahead and watch it. No biggy. :D

I got bored around episode four or five. I don't know what turned me off about the anime--the same thing I can say for Battle Royale. I never understood all the hype about it after I'd finished watching it. It was like Saw, but with small Japanese children tearing each other apart instead of some deranged cancer patient.

Boy, do I have some titles for you! :D

- Silent Mobius: Sci-fi anime with a comparable atmosphere to Blade Runner. It's about a police force, the Attacked Mystification Police, who battle these demons called Lucifer Hawks hailing from a realm known as Nemesis.

- Elfen Lied: My personal favorite. It follows the story of a creature known as a Diclonius (a human with horns) named Lucy, who falls into the hands of a young man, Kohta, and his cousin, Yuka. All hell ensues, however, as Lucy is "Mitochondrial Eve."

- Tsukuyomi Moonphase (Or Moonphase, simply): This is a comedy/supernatural anime that follows the antics of a young vampire named Hazuki, who "enslaves" a young photographer named Kouhei, a powerful shinto sorcerer. ( His powers are dormant in the first half of the series, however).

- Karin: A vampire comedy about a young vampiress named Karin, who, instead of consuming blood, has outlandishly bad nosebleeds. There's more to the series, though, but you'll have to watch it to find out.

-Onegai Teacher (Please Teacher): As dirty as the name sounds, no, this is not Hentai. It's a sweet story about a teacher named Mizuho, who is actually a half-alien, marrying a student named Kei because he knows her secret. It was an impromptu event, and Mizuho was facing losing her job at the school, so Kei lied and said he was her husband to keep her secret a secret, and to save her job.

- Mahoromatic: This series follows the life of an android named Mahoro, who is a retired military weapon. She stepped down from military service to live her life as... a maid. It's a pretty perverted anime, but it's full of laughs. And it's got a bittersweet ending.

- Shingetsutan Tsukihime (Lunar Legend Tsukihime): This story follows a young vampire woman named Arcueid Brunestud, who is murdered by a young teenager named Shiki Tono. Shiki possesses the "eyes of death" and has the ability to see lines, which, if he chooses to trace them with his finger or an object, can result into the utter destruction of the person/object. It's yet another bittersweet romance story with a, in my opinion, gut-twisting ending.

-Fate/Stay Night: This particular anime is about a war known as "The War of the Holy Grail", which sorcerers and sorceresses alike have been fighting for centuries; their goal, to acquire the Holy Grail and have all their wishes granted. These Sorcerers and Sorceresses, however, do not fight amongst themselves. They use spirits of heroes and villains, such as Medusa and Cúchulainn. In this war, Shirō Emiya, accidentally summons the most powerful spirit available to wield--a strange British woman named Saber--and together, they go to war, eventually falling in love. This anime, too, has a sad ending.

That's just a few off the top of my head, however. I'd be glad to PM you more titles in any case you're interested to watch more anime. Providing it tickles your fancy.

A few anime titles I saw and liked:

Naushicaa Amoshite no Poroporo (Nausicaa, Valley of the Wind)
A young princess named nausicaa is caught in the middle of warring factions as the world is slowly engulfed by wastelands.

Mononoke no Hime (Princess Mononoke)
A young boy must leave his tribe after an evil spirit drives a pig insane, and is fused with his arm as he defends his villiage. His journey takes him to the heart of the corruption, where he must reconcile the forces of man and nature to brings eace to the and

Kiki's Delivery Service
A coming-of-age story of a young witch who must leave her home for the first time.

Afro Samurai
Really violent, kickass story of a guy whose father has The Crest of the One (something like that), meaning he's the best samurai in the land. His father is killed and he goes on a quest for vengeance to reclaim the title of the One.

I've heard good things about Spirited Away as well.

Holy Crap! I'm officially in love with you L'Oiseau Noir. No seriously! *Regains composure* Ahem... I mean, I totally second the recommendation for Fate/Stay Night.

Also Vampire Hunter D (it's rather vintage by now but, I feel it's a classic) and its sequel Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust are rather good movies to watch when you do not have the time to devote to a series.

Damn Time waster slayers have trapped me yet again! To no avail, I cant get around it :~( Wah

Yeah, Fate/Stay Night doesn't get as much love as it should. It's so good, but so is any TYPE-MOON anime in my opinion.

And yes, I second Vampire Hunter D. It's definitely one of the great vampire anime available.
