Yea, i think i know what you mean. No Rurouni Kenshin for you then (although, half the series felt like filler anyway)

Code Geass was amazing. That, and Death Note, remain my favourite anime.

hmm... i enjoyed Black Lagoon and Darker than Black (although second season of DtB was meh), fair bit of action from those. Fairy Tail is quite decent, although the animation style isn't to everyone's taste (a lot like One Piece). If you're looking for a comedy, maybe try Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (sort of a rip-off of pokemon in a school setting), one of the funniest series i've watched.

Haven't had a chance to watch any of the new series (aside from Madoka), so can't recommend any of those.

Hey man I just finished watching Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu and I agree with you! Extremely funny I could not stop laughing :D Any more good comedy series I should look for?

It difficult because if which genres you may like.

Animes that I really enjoyed are clannad and clannad after story. Toradora, Kanon 2006, Full metal alchemist brotherhood, ergo proxy etc. The first three are slice of life animes. The problem is that there are so many good ones out there but depending on the genre it makes recommendations tricky.
 
I find that a lot of the genres have a tremendous amount of cross-over sometimes, which also makes recommendations tricky sometimes. Series likes Kanon and Clannad do very well to stick to their respective genres (romantic drama), while some others are a little more varied (Toradora, which is romance, comedy, slice-of-life etc).

I enjoyed Toradora tremendously, the only problem I had with it was that Taiga fell out of exactly the same mould as Shana (Shakugan no Shana) and Louise (Zero no Tsukaima) - in other words, a small, underdeveloped tsundere for which they even used the same seiyuu. Not taking anything away from the show itself, but it gets noticeable after a while.

Anyways, I've been on an extended break because of the public holidays, and I've got more of a break coming up due to exams, but I'm trying to catch up to industry news.

Turns out mangaka Matsuno Akinari passed away over the weekend - meaning that MM! has now entered a limbo state. It'll probably never be finished.

The infamous Bill 156 which was passed last year is causing trouble already, with manga Aki Sora being banned from bookstores and publication because it depicts, among other things "incest". At the same time we see anime shows, even late night ones being absolutely destroyed by censors - 30-sai no Hoken Taiiku is practically unwatchable, despite the fact that the show is aimed at 30-year olds in particular. At the same time, manga series like ToLoveRu Darkness and anime series Seikon no Quaser are upping the ante, which probably just gives manga Nazi Ishihara more ammo to push his ban through.

I have to add though, as much as I'll admit to liking the odd bit of ecchi and maybe a pantsu shot or two along the line, it's becoming a little too much at the moment. I'd take a moment to compare for instance, Shuffle!, which was released in 2004, and this year's Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai - both Navel! productions. Shuffle! was awesome, decent story, likeable characters, and a bit of fanservice which was enjoyable because you weren't being drowned in it. The latter though - the first episode was epically confusing, character designs were so generic that by the second episode I still couldn't identify anyone, production values look like they were crapped out by a herd of incontinent cows - I'm actually disappointed even though I was looking forward to it.

Seikon no Qwaser released their second season now as well - and I'm not sure how many of you read my review, but the first season didn't justify a second installment. If anything, the second season looks like it's going to be even worse than the first.

This seems to be some sort of rebellion by the various publishers and creators against Bill 156, although I think they're going about it the wrong way - Ishihara's on a roll, and they're only giving the bloke more reasons to clamp down. And Japan's otaku crowd are not helping themselves either - I'm starting to think a greater share of the population are turning into NEETs who have no concept of what a 3D female other than Hatsune Miku actually even looks like.

Lol ... Full Metal Panic! - not Full Metal Alchemist :p

K-On! was a really fun anime to watch - if you're looking for something in a similar vein (keep in mind there's a second season) you might want to give Working!! a try (the "English" title is Wagnaria! [no, don't ask me, I have NO idea :/ ].

lol :D

Brains not working this morning. Will give it a bash.
 
I watched the 3rd episode of Deadman Wonderland this weekend - I really think this is going to turn into one of those hidden gems. Everyone seems to be going on about Nichijou, A-Channel and all the other moe-type series out there - DW on the other hand is dark, violent, and it looks like it has a couple of decent plot twists up its sleeve in the near future.

Also - the opening and closing credit tracks are epic. To save you all the time searching, they are:

OP: One Reason - Fade
ED: Shiny Shiny - Nirgilis
 
I've been reading the manga and while it started out good it's kinda in a slow patch at the moment. It reminds me somewhat of Highschool of the dead. So don't expect many episodes.
