Really tempting, all these spoiler tags! I have to be good and avoid clicking on them and ruining the ending

Patience is not one of my virtues. D=
If there were something else worth watching this season it wouldn't be so bad, but damn. Nothing but crappy comedies and slice of life stories as far as the eye can see. Is it too much to ask for some explosions or murderers or gunfights? Or maybe some giant beams of death and destruction? Something besides a socially awkward vaguely metrosexual teenage boy and his adventures with a pack of crazy girls who all look identical save for hair color and breast size? |

Well, I like non-crappy comedies and slice-of-life, but my selections from the past two seasons -- Baccano!, Ghost Hound, Hakaba Kitaro, Moyashimon, and Shion -- don't really fit the rest of your description. Ghost Hound comes closest in that it has teenaged boys, but chasing after crazy girls isn't a part of the story.
One of the first questions my daughter asks me when she comes home from school is whether another episode of Shion has been released!

If the girls are really crazy... well, Higurashi is one of my favorites. =D
Shion's pretty dark for the subject matter, the murder mystery and the focus on shogi (I love strategy and wargames). Baccano! was pure awesome in animated form. If Mnemosyne's second episode wasn't so terribad compared to the first I'd count that as a good point for 2008 but... I really know how your daughter feels, I check this site every day when I get off work to see if #19 has been released yet! For the subbers to get bogged down like this right at the end of the show is painful! Mad props to LE though for putting out such a polished sub, I can't stress that enough. Edit: My ranting notwithstanding, I don't mean anything against anyone who enjoys comedies, slice-of-life shows and harem shows. Whatever floats your boat. But those shows tend to sink mine, and I'm still pissed the hell off at Shakugan no Shana for having the potential to rival Nanoha for general magical-girl-badassery... then ruining it all with school-day side stories that bored me to tears. =/ |

Thanks for the update on that ^_^ I look forward to the release of the next episodes!
Of course things irl are more important so the translator should take his/her time and settle into a new home first.

I've just noticed that my current list of anime is seriously melting away Shion is by far the one I'm hungry for most as well as Major right now.
Thanks for the spoilers, I'm lousy with patience and that should hold me for a bit. I also thought the OP was brilliant! |
