Katekyoushi Hitman Reborn!
Ep: 1-77 (still ongoin')
Tsuna is a hapless youth with low test scores and lower self esteem. His mother hires a tutor to help Tsuna out, but it comes as a surprise to the both of them when the tutor is a baby named Reborn, claiming to be from the Mafia. Reborn informs Tsuna that he's the next heir to the Vongola family mafia family and tries to help Tsuna reach the goal. Reborn possesses the Dying Will bullet, which kills a person and brings them back to life to fulfill the last regret they had, and even works to get Tsuna some henchmen to make him a true mafia boss-in-training.

Kyou Kara Maoh
Ep: 1-78 [till Season 2]
Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies. Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in. The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes. The Maoh is the King of the Mazoku, who are coexisting not-so-peacefully with the humans in this world. Much to his subjects' dismay, he's totally different from the rulers they're accustomed to. He's kind, considerate, a believer in justice, and not willing to use violence to solve conflicts. Not exactly someone they want running a country on the very brink of war. Now, Yuri has to deal with trying to become a good Maoh, while at the same time attempting to adapt to this lands' customs and culture, all in a world where the tension between the humans and Mazoku is reaching its peak. [ANN]
The bishie-only anime that I've set my mind on since years ago, and finally, I managed to watched all of it.
Cant believe I watched 20+ eps per day, almost poisoned myself from too much radiation...
Due to excessive guy charas, and weird plot (the main chara was flushed through the toilet, found himself king in another world, and engaged with a guy after slapping him), this was DEFINITELY shounen-ai!!
The series is still ongoin' with the 3rd season airing at Japan.

Shakugan no Shana I, II
Ep:
Season I 1-24 eps
Season II 1-24 eps
One Movie, OVA and some specials that come with the DVD version which includes chibified charas.
Sakai Yuuji, a high school student who expected his normal life to last forever, is dead. When he was on his way home he witnessed a shocking view as the world suddenly froze: people were engulfed by blue flames and a monster resembling a large doll swallowed them. Just as the monster prepared to consume Yuuji, a sword-wielding girl in black attire with flaming red eyes and hair that burns like embers saved him from the monster. The girl called herself a "Flame Haze" who hunts the "Guze no Tomogara", creatures from another world. As Yuuji noticed a blue flame in his chest, she called him a "Torch", a temporary replacement, saying that the "real" Yuuji's existence had already ended. Unfazed, Yuuji befriended the strange girl, named her "Shana", and joined her fight against Tomogara and other Flame Hazes. [ANN]
The ONE anime that I've wanted to finish watching but due to sucky subs in the DVD I bought, I have to download all the fansubs startin' from 1st season. I love the artline to bits. Since the characters are designed by Noizi Ito (also the desinger of Suzumiya Haruhi), similarities are noted. Storyline is good and all OP songs are the BEST!!!

Zero no Tsukaima
Ep: Season I 1-12 eps
Season II 1-12 eps
Meet Louise, a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her "Zero Louise", due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is "devoted, beautiful and powerful", and gets... Hiraga Saito, an ordinary Japanese boy. It's difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don't allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her. [ANN]
Somethin' like Harry Potter, if u ask me but it's the other way round with the main chara being a girl. It's the reverse harem type I would say and it was quite funny. Kinda worth a try...

Kousuke Ueki, a student of the Hinokuni Junior High School, is picked by a God Candidate, Koba-sen, to participate in a competition where people battle out to become God and only the strongest will prevail. Embodied with the ability to turn garbage into trees, Kousuke will be joining in the battle against other junior high school students in this selection. This sets the premise for the earth-friendly battle where the students will pit their powers against the rest. [ANN]
Ah, finally finished watching it after leaving it for like half a year...
The art and storyline is quite similar to RAVE and Shaman King; it gaves me the RAVE feel after all...
The main chara is given the power to change rubbish into trees by his teacher, and found himself engaged in a fight for zai [something like talent?]. Even the most stupid power could be gained.. I found myself laughin' my ass off when some particular charas have power like changin' towel into steel, hair into drill, paint into dimensional hole, bad puns into explosions and etc...
There's one particular power I'm interested in..
To change figurines into reality...
* imagines what I can do with my Athrun and Setsuna figurines * * smirks *
The first thing I'll do if I got the power is to run off and get myself a Lelouch figurine... Bwahahahahahahaha~

Abe no Masahiro is the grandson of the great omnyouji Abe no Semei, who passed his teachings on to his grandson. Masahiro lost his sixth sense and the ability to see spirits, but with Mokkun as his guide, he works to become his grandfather's successor. [ANN]
I've been following this for ages since the subbers are slow and they are the ONLY one. I've always have a thing for onmyouji + spiritual things. Blame Subaru from CLAMP.. =3 Neway, the artline's fantastic, and what's more, the main chara, Masahiro is voiced by Yuki Kaida [Fuji from Tenipuri] and Seimei is voiced by none other than the famous, lovable, Akira Ishida [my top fav seiyuu].

Ep: 1-12 completed
Maiku Kamishiro's past has always been somewhat of a mystery to him. The only clue he has to who is family might be is an old photograph showing two young children, a boy and a girl, playing in a small pool outside of a blue house. In an attempt to find his family, he moves to this blue house and begins working as a programmer. He's living a comfortable life until the day two very different girls show up at his door, both in possession of the same photograph, and both claiming to be his twin. With no way to prove who is a relative and who is a stranger, Maiku allows both girls to move in with him until they know for sure. [ANN]
A spin-off from Onegai Sensei. Basically, I was just continuing what I've watched from there. A romance anime that I've quite enjoyed and finished in one go.
Compliments to the OP and ED songs. They never fail to attract me like what Onegai Sensei songs did. Cheers to KOTOKO, the singer~

School Days
Ep: 1-12 completed
Makoto Ito rides the train to and from school every day. However, at the beginning of his second term, he falls in love with a beautiful girl that also rides the train. Unfortunately, she barely knows of his existence. Her name is Kotonoha Katsura, and though they attend the same school, they are not in the same class. In an attempt to catch her eye, Makoto enlists the aid of a close female friend of his: Sekai Saionji. She helps him, despite the fact that she--unbeknownst to Makoto--is in love with him. Thus the three are bound in a love triangle of life changing proportions. [ANN]
Never have I hated an anime chara so damn much. Plus, it's the main guy character. He's such a womanizer that he deserves to be * SPOILERS * stabbed and got his head removed. Which was exactly what happened in the end...
But the blood was black instead of red... so, the creppiness was reduced?
It's the only anime I've known to experience a drastic change in the plot:
From being a romance anime ---> triangular relationship ---> psycho ---> murder
It was adapted from a PS Game and was known to have 21 different endings ( bad and good ones )The bad endings include those with stabbing and suicides of different characters.
All of these information have somewhat make me interested in watchin' it... hoping that it'll have some suspense like Higurashi no Naku Koro ni but kinda failed...
Let's just say that my target was the last episode since I started watching...

Spice and Wolf
Ep: 1-12 completed
Craft Lawrence, a 25 year old peddler travelling from town to town selling and buying various things to make a living during a period much like Europe in the Middle Ages. One night when stopped at the town of Pasroe, he finds in his wagon a 250 year old pagan wolf deity girl named Holo. She appears to be that of a 15 year old girl, except for a wolf tail and ears. She introduces herself as the town's goddess of harvest who has kept it blessed with good harvests of wheat for many years. Despite having the responsibility to watch over the town, she wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu, she believes the people have already forsaken her anyway and that she has kept her promise to maintain the good harvests. She manages to bargain her way out of the village by making a deal with Lawrence to take her with him. As they travel, her wisdom helps increase his profits, but at the same time, her true nature draws unwanted attention from the church. [ANN]
I thought it would be somethin' like Wolf's Rain but it turned out to be some damn microeconomics anime, with Renaissance setting and talkin' bout the barter system and dealing with gold coins bla, bla...Mind you, I'm only watching it for the sake of seiyuus and artline.

From that moment on, his life would never be the same again. Hunted by Ayakashi and their hosts, the power within Yuu awakens and a never ending battle begins. [ANN]

A tale of two people, Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari, who were close friends but gradually grow farther and farther apart as time moves on. They become separated because of their families yet continue to exchange contact in the form of letters. Yet as time continues to trudge on, their contact with one another begins to cease. Years pass and the rift between them grows ever larger. However, Takaki remembers the times they have shared together, but as life continues to unfold for him, he wonders if he would be given the chance to meet Akari again as the tale embarks on Takaki's realization of the world and people around him. [ANN]
Beautiful movie by Makoto Shinkai. Consists of short stories bout distances.
I was practically amazed by the art. It's so damn beautiful and looks so damn real...
Sasuga Makoto Shinkai! All his works are gorgeous !!
Example of other Makoto Shinkai's works:
A Voice from a Distant Star, OP clip for ef ~ a fairy tale of the two and ef ~ the latter tale PS game.
Clannad MOVIE
The movie's artline really sucks compared to the tv series. I twitched at how the characters are designed. They look so damn fake. Like those 18/19th centuries anime. For the sake of extra info and better understanding of Clannad, I've forced myself to watch it.
The ending's so damn touching and sad. If they animate it for the tv series, I would probably cry my eyes out...
I'm lookin' forward to the Clannad ~ After Story ~ sequel to the Clannad tv series...
