I found myself liking some of the secondary characters a lot more than than the primary ones. Sesshomaru is such a bad-ass you just can not, not like him.

The last anime that made me feel like that was the redone Hunter x Hunter, obviously not to be the same extremes, but it really surprised me. I'll get the first few episodes and see where it leads me to.

I also it felt like what I had learnt in previous years was not really being applied. English is fun in it's own ways but UNISA is somewhat limited to choices when choosing literature. I assume if I choose to do a Masters I can do it on more modern literature and manga, but Geography is my passion!

I've noticed that, even those courses that seem to have a lot of module options really don't have much choice. My first 2 years I did at UCT and amongst the courses I registered for were Astronomy, Mandarin, Human Evolution, and Philosophy of Psychology and Mind. & it was only because they were fun. Compare that to having to choose between Calculus and Algebra.

InuYasha is one of those shows that pacing never lets it down, there is always something interesting and even between the arcs the little filler it has, you won't be bored.

I actually picked up HunterxHunter when it was at around episode 50 because /r/anime was raving about it so much. Initially thinking it was going to end soon, I though I could finish it quickly. I had known about the manga and the previous OVA's and series before but never got around to watching them. Little did I know it was going on for another 100 episodes and every single one was amazing.

*EDIT*
It's finally happening! Expecting a BD/DVD release early next year, been waiting 2 years so whats a couple of months more!?

Any input on Tengen toppa gurren? I actually won the Lazengann action figure a few years ago, but I have never watched the series, I don't even know what it entails :wtf:

One word to describe it, GAINAX

It's crazy and stupid and full of heart felt moments, that are juxtaposed against a myriad of colours and gigantic robots doing ridiculous things. It's was a fairly popular and still is, and often shows up on "introduction to anime" lists.

Thanks :D, you've watched an array of series hey. The only experience I have with mecha anime is Rah-Xephon and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Sometimes I think I have watched too much, then realize how little I have actually seen.

The mecha genre is huge, and it's not always about gigantic robots. Very often they are used as a smaller part of the plot and also to full in the action sequences, as seen in Code Geass, which is known more for it's plot twists than it's mecha.

I've been watching anime since I was a wee lass, so I'd say I have a fair amount under my belt, yet there are oodles of 'popular' series that I've never even heard of :eek: :cry:

Just waiting for my exams to end, and for our uncapped line to be installed, then I will delve into the copious amounts of anime the internet has to offer. :D

I normally browse /r/anime to see whats popular in the current season and then make a note to actually watch the show being praised/promoted. GATE, Boku Dake and Parasite come to mind (I have not watched them). Other times I do and I wish I had watched it earlier like JoJo's, Mononoke and Bakemonogatari. Or I just randomly choose something and find it to be amazing.
At this stage I am just trying to watch shows from the 1970's up to about 2010~ but that is not working out as 6 years of anime is a whole bunch.

*off topic*
What are you currently studying?

See that's exactly what I'm talking about, I don't recognise any of those that you mentioned :wtf:. I'm studying LLB through Unisa, completed 14 of the 40 modules so far, will be by 20 by the end of the year, hopefully.

UNISA! How are you finding it so far? Personally their standards have dropped dramatically over the past couple of years, from when I started, but maybe because I choose to point out their faults all the time.
Going for 480 Credits, I wish you good luck! Technically I should have gotten 360 credits but I managed to get away with 336 for some reason.
