is awesome.
I've been spending the past few days watching and rewatching anime. I'll never get enough of it. @_______@
So:
Code Geass R2 (season 2):
I've recently been introduced to this and at first I thought, 'Mecha/Gundam, bleeh', but I watched it anyway and, you know what, I was wrong. This definitly is one I reccomend to all.
Nabari ou to (season 1):
I don't know why but I pick up it the first volume of this at a $1 manga sale. I wasn't that interest at first (note: it hasn't been released in america --> I don't understand a thing in the manga) but while looking for DGM updates on Timcampi I saw scanlations for it. I figured whatever, nothing to lose. Then the next thing I know, I'm hooked.
You won't find many scanlations of the manga online. So far, I only have Ch.1-4 of volume 1 ... when there's 8+ volumes in Jap. I'm glad they made the anime. Hopefully more people will be interest and a s.group will pick off the chapters.
Vampire Knights (season 1)
I don't understand why people like this. It has a very confusing storyline. Thumbs up on the art.
Holic(?)
New season? Did a group pick up this?
Special A (season 1)
This one definitly interesting I like seeing the characters come to life. I read it up on onemanga. They haven't upload for a month. Again, I hope someone will pick this up.
new Yugioh (season 3?)
It seems the main character is a biker/ motorcycle dude. They have some sort of power. Hopefully the herione will have more part then in the previous seasons.
oh, the list could just go on ... redface

Wait wait
Jap or American TV?
Holic's new (2nd) season is Kei, and its taken by Shin and Naked Xlation. The first was subbed by a bunch but they all dropped it when it got licensed. (That's why there are Holic ads after posting) Only Mishicorp finished it.
xxxholic is love.
Code Geass and Holic are written by the same people, by the way/

xXxHOLiC Kei
Kimihiro Watanuki is a young boy with a cursed gift. He has the ability to see evil spirits, and somehow they seem attracted to himself. One day he meets a misterious woman who names herself Yuuko. She claims to have the means to end his torment, but she never works for free, and she wouldn't help him until he works for her enough to pay for her services. Thus he starts to work in her shop and discovers that in that place, nothing is what it seems.
Code Geass
The Empire of Britannia has invaded Japan using giant robot weapons called Knightmare Frames. Japan is now referred to as Area 11, and its people the 11's. A Britannian who was living in Japan at the time, Lelouch, vowed to his Japanese friend Suzaku that he'd destroy Britannia. Years later, Lelouch is in high school, but regularly skips out of school to go play chess and gamble on himself. One day, he stumbles on terrorists 11's who've stolen a military secret and is caught by a member of the Britannian task force sent after them, who is Suzaku. As the rest of the squad arrives, Suzaku is shot for disobeying orders, while the military secret, a young girl, gives Lelouch the power of Geass, which makes anyone obey any order. While Suzaku is secretly made the pilot of Britannia's brand new prototype Knightmare, Lancelot, Lelouch becomes the masked Zero to lead the rebellion to destroy Britannia once and for all.
Nabari no O
Rokujou Miharu is a boy who has a hijustu (hidden technique) living inside of him. This hijustu is the power of creation. Many ninja clans are seeking it as the one who posesses it becomes the ruler of the ninja world. Rokujou's classmate Kouichi started a nindou ("Way of the Ninja") club at school with Kumohira, his English teacher. Both Kouichi and Kumohira are secretly ninjas. They tried to persuade Rokujou to join the ninjustu club. At first, he was reluctant, but after being attacked by group of ninjas trying to get his hijutsu, he joins. He must become the Ruler of Nabari in order to survive.
Vampire Knights
Yuki's earliest memory is of a stormy night in winter, wherein she was attacked by a vampire... And then rescued by another. Now 10 years later, Yuki Cross, the adapted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a guardian of the vampire race, protecting her savior, Kaname, from discovery as he leads a group of vampires at the elite boarding school. But also at her side is Zero Kiryu, a childhood friend who’s hatred for the creatures that destroyed everything he held dear, is now determined never to trust them. This coexisting arrangement seems all well and good, but have the vampires truly renounced their murderous ways, or is there a darker truth behind their actions. Is Kaname's infatuation with Yuki the beginning of a forbidden romance, or is it something in her forgotten past that draws him to her. Because in this world of secrets, nothing is as it seems. And the price of misplaced trust may even be worse than death.
Yugioh
Card games.
Special A
Hikari Hanazono, the main character, has always been second to Kei Takishima. While Hikari considers Kei a rival and somewhat of a friend, Kei loves Hikari. Everyone knows this, but she is too dense to notice. Their wrestling loving fathers first introduced them to one another when they were 6 years old. Assuming that she was the best in wrestling, young Hikari challenged Kei to a wrestling match only to be thoroughly defeated by him. Ever since that fateful incident, Hikari swore to beat Kei in school grades, a sporting event - anything. To do this she has enrolled in the same school as Kei since elementary. Now she attends Hakusenkan, an ultra elite school, that costs her carpenter father a lot of money. Hikari and Kei are the top two students in the school, with Kei holding firmly to that number one position.

I watched Vampire Knight ep.1 and Special A ep.1 ^-^
Vampire Knight I didn't care much for in manga form, but the art's interesting enough that I think I'll stick with watching it.
Special A I'm disappointed in. First off, WTF BROWN HAIRED KEI?! He's supposed to be BLONDE kthx. Also, the way he was acting at times was just too off >.<
I'll keep watching, though :3

Yeah, this season is going to be ******** awesome.
- Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2. ZERO IS BACK AND YOU BITCHES WILL FEAR HIM. Only thing I fear is that C.C.'s awesome sleeves are gone. I loved her sleeves in the former season. SLEEVES. No matter what happens, Code Geass CANNOT disappoint me. NEVER. ********. EVER.
- xxxHOLiC Kei. Oh, yes. xxxHOLiC is my favorite CLAMP work ever. Plus, this season, we get Kohane-chan! And Spider arc shows just how GAR Domeki and Watanuki are.
- Kanokon. Seems like a fanservice show, but don't care, since the characters are awesome. Especially Chizuru. Long live the Eros Daioh.
- Tower of Druaga: Kind of confused on this thing. Looks like there are two versions, the main one and another point-of-view one. Gonzo subs the main one for free, but the other one is pay-to-view, it ******** the new Yu-Gi-Oh! series. They ride bikes now. CHILDREN DO NOT RIDE BIKES WHILE PLAYING ******** CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES.
It'll make up for the disappointment of the winter season.
- The ending of true tears disappointed me. I NEED MY NOE ENDING.
- H2O ~ Footprints in the Sand played out like a Korean drama. Korean dramas need to go ******** themselves.
- Spice and Wolf was... meh. Okay, but meh.
- Minami-ke ~ Okawari! was the only ray of light I had.
- The fansubs for Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are really, really late.
- I didn't bother to finish KimiAru. Gave up after the fifth episode or something.
- I will have to watch Bamboo Blade, however.

@ Zepia-

Zepia Eltnam Oberon Oh, and Hirun, that's the explanation for Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch, not Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch R2.
Sorry, Maggeh. I just picked one. I never got around to watching the first season yet.
I'm into both Holic and Tsubasa. XD
絶望した！
I had lyrics for Rumba in my sig for the longest time.
I wish Sola didn't end.
I still need to watch Gurren Lagan.
I'm burning Read or Die the TV to DVD atm.

TootsieFruity Hirun, thank you~ @ Zepia- On the topic of Geass, wasn't she wearing a black knights uniform (with sleeves) in the OP?
... It had no wide sleeves.
I want the wide sleeves. Like the one that girl wears in that series about the demon hunters.
Yuna from the Final Fantasy X series doesn't count. b***h doesn't have true sleeves. Sleeves are only sleeves when they're part of the entire shirt / jacket / sweater / upper wear.
@ Hirun
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (sadly, I haven't memorized all the capitals in the title) the manga, I like. I also liked the first part of the anime. But it strayed way off the manga, so I gave it up. Originally, I liked Tsubasa over xxxHOLiC, but halfway into the story (the Tokyo arc) I found Tsubasa grim, and xxxHOLiC got much more awesome during that time with Kohane-chan.
I'm looking forward to the third season of Higurashi. Hope that comes out soon, too.

Really? I thought the wide sleeves she had were .. bleh. If the material was thinner and draped around her hand that would be cute.
And Tsubasa, confusing as hell.
[rant/spoiler]
I mean, why does that Fei Clow guy chase after the Sakura and Syaoran clones when he had* the original Sakura and Syaoran?
(had* as in before his accomplice lady releases him)
edit_ Hirun, I think Nabari no Ou*
And boy do they change alot in the anime. sweatdrop

Screw the new stuff! I <3 Gurren Lagann.

Nobari no O's kanji remind me of King of Thorns.
いばらの王
Ibari no O.
wooooooah. o___o; Explains a lot.

I love this book. <3

IF YOU DON'T WATCH CODE GEASS: HANGYAKU NO LELOUCH THEN I WILL KILL YOU SHOY.
So please, watch it. I don't want to kill another friend over Code Geass. One charge of manslaughter is enough for me.
