Ikki tousen is a good watch, very easy going and some nice battle sequences.

If you enjoy that cast an eye over Tenjou Tenge, similar vein and a damn good series.

You in for a treat with appleseed, which Im assuming is the new one.
Some beautifull animation there and the 3d and cel shaded intermingle really well, good soundtrack too.

For those that havent seen may I also reccomend:

Voices of a Distant star
The Place promised in our earyl years

Small studio with very few people working on it.
They pull both of these off amazingly, voices is only like 30mins long but when you watch it, you'll be amazed how much is stuffed into that 30minutes.

Has to be my most recent favorite, sat and watched in multiple times in a row coupla times too.

just watched the 5 eps of Witchblade from baka.

some of you may know its based on a US comic series, however, they seem to have made a movie flop, a live action tv series flop AND an animated series flop too LOL

guess they decided to get a company in that knew what they were doing.

Seems a new universe using the WB story.

Looking good so far, the background of the WB was introduced but not explained much, theres also some new additions in this series too. Theres already been some nice character building.

Sems like this could be one to keep an eye on.

Absolutely superb

Loved it through and through. Solid story well developed, interesting animation style, i.e. using 2D cell style effect on 3D models adds an interesting spin on things.

Just watching school rumble 2nd semester. Its very much a "put your brain in neutral" anime, but damn funny and I would rate it up there with Full Metal Panic. Essentially it takes all the cliched characters in anime, stuffs them in a classroom and watches the choas unfold.

I'll try and summarise the plot as it gets random....There is the psychotic samurai nut who is obsessed with this girl. The girl in question has "super powers" meaning she can read peoples minds. Her sister is damn stupid, but is fancied by the school delinquent. The samurai nut thinks that the delinquent fancies the older sister and WW3 generally breaks out. There are tonnes more of the standard cliche'd characters in there which all bounce off each other.

It all kicks off from there, one very amusing anime. The writers love to take a situation and turn it to the most weird extremes possible.

I watch too much of this stuff, seriously.... it's not good. Well it keeps me occupied in the hotel rooms I suppose
