[quote name='Shalott' post='267920' date='Sep 22 2009, 03:55 AM']I totally fell in love with Strobe Edge - it's an amazing shoujo series because it doesn't follow quite the same cliche. The guy the heroine falls for already has a girlfriend, and so the relationship between the two is being built on *gasp!~* FRIENDSHIP! Of course there are all your stereotypical shoujo elements, but I just love the refreshing take on guy + girl relationships - so much more realistic![/quote]
Oh, damn you. *shakes fist* Why must I listen to everything you recommend? And why am I so obvious about character preference, woah. Just read everything that's out scanlated. CLIFFHANGER, WHY? :) :x :heart:

It takes a lot for me to really get ~*addicted*~ to anything and, in any case, it never gets close to the ridiculous level of obsession I've had for FMA for the last 6 years or so, but YEAH I LIKE SOME STUFF.

More recently, Cross Game, which is made of ALL THAT IS GOOD AND AWESOME ❤ The manga is better (because it's got no fillers lol and yeah, it's the original work), but the anime is very very good. Both are on-going at the moment. This series has also made me resume my exploration of Adachi Mitsuru's series and, seriously, this guy is a freakin' genius.  I already adored Touch, but I recently fell in love with Rough. Pity there's no anime for that one, woe.

And around the beginning of the year I fell in love with Kimi ni Todoke and Special A =) SA's anime was pretty crappy, here's hoping the KimiTodo one will be better. That's pretty much it, nothing that really gets me crazy lately.

LOL, I've had Strobe Edge in my HD for a while now~ I'll get to it at some point xD;

I agree, although I think the Gakuen Alice anime was much worse than the S·A one. I couldn't even finish it =/

The Gakuen Alice was only halfway through and the real plot was not mentioned at all. *sobs*

Anime shows until Reo Arc/the festival and the last few episodes are a bunch of fillers. One thing I didn’t like about the anime is the inconsistency of the animation.

Beth, you should really put Soul Eater in your top list haha. It is the awesome!!!

I’m actually easily attracted to a series (give me a good art and I’ll start reading it in no time) but the art can be deceiving so most of the time I dropped it (or I’ll just put in hiatus in hope that it’ll get interesting again).

But right now…Beelzebub because I love shonen and it’s funny. This series crack me good. It’s fairly new but it has potential that if WSJ take care of it and the mangaka don’t get wacko in the middle of the series. But so far so good.
Also, Pandora Hearts because Oz is there and I’m a pedo lol. No, seriously it has an interesting plot and I like the characters a lot <3. And Akaboshi - Ibun Suikoden as well (which big bro recommended it to me).

I was in dire need on reading something new in the shoujo world. I'd been reading so much shonen manga that I needed to indulge my inner romantic before she started freaking out. That was when Sumie recommended me to read Sukitte Ii na yo. Barely a few pages in and I was already interested. the characters were adorable, the romance was (and is, obviously) well developed and easy passed. I always prefer when romantic manga feel more realistic. Makes it feel like it could happen to me, ya know?

However, other then Sumie, I haven't heard of anybody else who even knows this manga exists :) Which makes me sad because I find it so breath takingly cute!

I really like Sukitte Ii na yo, it's a lovely series =)

I'm currently a little bit fixated with nisiOisin's works ♥ I loved SHAFT's adaptation of Bakemonogatari, so I started watching Katanagatari and it's really my favorite anime that's airing at the moment. I'm also reading the first book in the Zaregoto series, which I'm loving. I hope they release more of his light novels eventually (especially Bakemonogatari). It's also been announced that SHAFT will adapt Kizumonogatari too, so I'm ecstatic about that~

Besides that, I'm just reading the usual. Oresama Teacher is a nice (shoujo) manga I discovered rather recently, though.

I started following the High School of the Dead anime a while ago. Loving it, even if it's the kind of gore thing that usually disgusts me xDDD guess the fanservice makes me forget about it |D. :)

...Negima!. o_o I won a free disk of it at a con back in April, and never really got around to watching it, but I downloaded it and put it on my iPod to watch at work. To my surprise, it was AMAZING. o________o I haven't totally finished it yet, but I'm almost done and I've become a HUGE fangirl. Last weekend, I even bought a matching pencil case, sharpener and pencils from Borders. o________________O

I've just finished reading all the available chapters of Oniwaka to Ushiwaka - Edge of the World (6 so far - LOL it's on hiatus :x ). I had wanted to read this series since I first heard about it since well, it's by the same creators of Get Backers *O* Loving it so far, it has good action, an interesting story aaaaaand fanservice (for all audiences~). Why yes, one of the reasons I'm digging it is because the two main characters remind me of Ban and Ginji >_> actually in some parts I couldn't help laughing at the "OMG HERE WE GO AGAIN" feeling I get from them ;) Can't wait for the releases to be resumed >:

That would be Full moon wo sagashite <: It was long time ago ... back then I didn't use torrents. I found one minute long preview for the first episode. I was really impressed and later I watched all 52 (there are 52 episodes) previews(and all of them were one minute long xD). And one year later (maybe two?three?) I found this anime again and finally watched it. But I love manga much more. Izumi is such a bitch in anime -.- in manga he's cute <3 and even the endings are different and almost the whole story -.-
