The Ubiquitous What Are You Watching Thread?

I'm finishing up Photon: Idiotic Adventure.

I'm not sure what I'm going to start next.

Course, I could just watch some Penn & Teller: Bullshit...or maybe just watch the news and get a good laugh at Muslims.

Started the second disc of Greandier yesterday with ep.5.Introduced Touka and Mikan.Really good fight between Touka and Rushuna.
I also saw one one of the Extra Scenes they put in as an Extra.I think it's from next week's ep.As Yajiro running around like a maniac asking Touka for a pair of woman's panties! (From the preview of ep.6 it shows Rushuna loosing hers...so it gives a bit of context to Yajiro's madness.)
Saturday I saw the ep."Mitsuki" on Dual.The scene where MR says goodbye to KAzuki is always one of my favorites just by the way it was shot.
Friday finsished Boogiepop with "A Requiem".this Friday I start
Trinity Blood Chapter III!

I'm finishing up Bastard!! as we speak...

I'm just going though a list of anime I haven't finished.

Mostly OVAs and movies as of right now.

Monster was on later(12 M instead of 11 p.m.) on Ani-Monday yesterday.Eerie how much like Nina Johann looks when he cross-dresses.He even has her voice down.
Looks like we're back in Prague again.

Last Exile ep.7 'Interesting Claus'.
Watching on DVD instead of tv has it's advantage because you can see
Lavie's Redlining in brilliant color.I wonder how many gees Claus was pulling when that happened.
Any way Tatiana scolding Claus makes more sense now.
Was there a real Immelmann...I wonder?

Yes, but i think it also might have become popular because of an animal of the same name.

Wait until you see the .... controllers.

Looked up Immelmann and it was unclear wheter or not he invented the manuever named after him.Interesting the Blue Max was named after him.Wikie also mentioned Last Exile in connection to Fictional accounts of the Immelmann Manuever.
Saw Love Hina ep.11 yesterday.Naru's 15 minutes of fame ended when she gave
Keitaro another patented Fist of Fury(tm)that was picked up by the press after a paparazzi shot it happening.
Should I get Love Hina Again or the Christmas Special?

I still haven't seen 'Love Hina' so I've got...nothing.


Watching:
Doomed Metropolis.

For some reason this seemed a lot 'cooler' back when I first watched it.
Maybe it's because I was younger?

Yeah,stuff looks cooler when you're younger at times.
I saw ep.9 'Escape' on Dual on Saturday.Though I had to take it out and clean the DVD and put it back in again because for some odd reason no sound.It worked after that.
I wonder what D was thinking in that last scene when she's standing all by herself and looking at Zinv.
Yesterday saw ep.6 of Grenadier.Pretty cool show the more I watch it.

Oh yeah,forgot to mention watching Trinity Blood on Friday.Pretty tense episode.Loved the scene where Sister Esther shows up with the umbrella to comfort
Father Abel sitting in the rain.
Yesterday more Monster.The first episode they aired showed the night that Johan killed their foster parents from Anna/Nina's perspective before coming back to the present day.
The second one was a Eva episode.

I'm going through all the 'Studio Ghibli' movies that were released in English.

Finished Last Exile vol.2.Moving on to MahoRomantic next week.

I watched 'Kill', a collection of short stories which includes Assault Girl 2. No, it has nothing to do with Assault girls. It has also nothing to do with the original which was about eating.
Anyway, the first part of this movie is an OP. I thought it was strange, but that's my conclusion. I also noticed it seems these days water storage caverns are popular with asian makers.
The first story is kind of a cruesome nightmare about transplantation of brains and revenge.
The second one is rather a cute storytelling.
The third is about ying/yang spirits taking over people and fighting their old age battle out. Also it offers a new definition of gunblade: slashing which fires a cutting wave at the cost of a round.
The last story ...you see a unmistakingly heroine in white with a sword that has katana and middle-east(moses' time) features with jewish/rune like inscribtion. After some time of wondering whta's it about she starts fighting her opponent, a black dressed, bounded, long legged lady....and then both winged and fly off. Then a citation from the books of books.

Blood,The Last Vampire is supposed to be on again tonight on Syfy so I think before I watch it I will watch the Making Of on the DVD.
Yesterday saw ep.7 of Grenadier.Mikan looks like her balloon skills might actually prove useful.Also The Jester makes a return.
Saturday saw ep.10 'Repatriate' of Dual.Yayoi's response to Rara Mitsuki staying:
"Hmmm....Ramen!"is always something I get a kick out of.I guess Yayoi was just glad that her noodle supply wasn't gonna dry up on her.

Finished up 'Farscape' last night.

Gonna start watching 'Avatar: The Last Airbender'.

Have you seen the Farscape made for tv movie?It wraps everything up.Speaking of which Claudia Black who played Aeryn was on NCIS yesterday as a drug running owner of a biker bar.
Well The Making Of Blood,The Last Vampire was an interesting featurette.Didn't know that it started out as 2 separate projects.
Saw the MahoRomantic Summer Special yesterday.Lotta fun as Mahoro tries to get the gals to round up Suguru's porn collection.A bit of fan service and as this was partly a Gainax production,the usual bouncing boobs.Despite that pretty funny and of course rated 16+.
I think the ending was especially worth it.Though to get to it we had to go through one large red herring.

Watched 009-1.... it wasn't worth it.

Yep, finished all of it.
Okay ending, reminded me of FireFly's ending.


Eh, I don't watch too much TV anymore.
I'm not surprised.
But I think she has had a good run.

I like the retro OP/ED.
But well, it's similar to past episodic stories similar to Golgo 13.

Really, it never got to watch all of both, but liked FS better. I have watched this canadian sf series with this insect ( & ship design) themed story. I liked the beginning but afterwards, i dunno, it wasn't interesting anymore. Anyone seen it?

Started on Detective Conan again... last season this time.

*strangles Conan* JUST TELL RAN ALREADY!!!

Maybe he's afraid she might give him one of her patented karate moves.
Saw ep.11 of Hayate The Combat Butler yesterday.And if you thought Nagi was weird...we meet her grandfather Mikado.
Maria is a far cry from that OTHER maid that Tanaka Rei played:
Ms.Sanada Head Cat-Girl Maid in UFO Princess Valkyrie.One is all sweetness and light and the other can be as hyper-active as a certain
Excel Excel!

I met that it felt like the story ended is sort of the same way.
A sort of 'they end the war, a main character everyone likes gets killed, and afterwords they stop running. looking for the future'.
Both ended that way.


You're probability thinking of 'Lexx'.
It was an okay, if rather perverted, show.

I see.

That's it. Yeah, it's perverse but that was intended. Maybe this stems from strange british humour. I like Red Dwarf, Mr. Bean and all but the rest is just dunno..

Lexx was all about the sexx.
I saw ep.11 'Real' of Dual on Saturday.Seems to me that the weather girl looked a bit like a certain Miss Rara Mitsuki.Akane in the Real world was abit creepier than the 'normal' Akane in the Parallel one.I say that because we have only one scene of the "Real" Akane as opposed to episodes worth of her "Parallel" counterpart.
Favorite line:"Give me my regards!" Dr.Sanada to Mitsuki and Kazuki before they leave.
Sunday ep.8 of Grenadier.This one introduced Rushuna's old friend
Aizen Teppa.I think the guy has a future in being a perv.
I mean they had a flashback when the two were kids and the guy was even a bit pervie back when he was 10!Maybe he knows Jiriya from
Naruto.
