[...] So the other thing that was bugging me a bit has to do with the shounen genre vs Yamato Nadeshiko daa–da-daa. A couple posts ago I compounded my fall interests but had not given Yamato a chance; also in the list was Busou Renkin. Call me silly, but I just didn’t “feel” the shounen bla bla blah at all. Its too damn righteous, makes me want to be not righteous. I’ve almost had enough input of “I-want-to-save-the-world… but-I-don’t-want-anyone-to-die”. Seriously! Kenshin was bad ass, the manga even better; I get the point. I don’t need 17 [thousand] leads running around screaming, “This isn’t right! I won’t let you!” with their little “Righteousness” T-shirts sized accordingly. [...]

Death Note, Black Lagoon, and Sumomomo.
That is a very lite schedule, but quality is abound. I would have thrown in Black Lagoon, which I’m nearly religious about, but I consider it ongoing as well, and it’s probably the most entertaining of the series I’m trying to keep up with (including some from summer).

Waiting on subs can be painful, the two biggest waits, for me, are OtoBoku and Code Geass, but both seems like they will have more attention seeing the releases this past week. Tokimeki isn’t speedy either, but its not that high priority. Of these three, I’ve been watching the raws of Geass and Tokimeki, [and Asatte no Houkou], though I may spend less time on the Tokimeki raws.

Biggest problem for me is the rate at which some of the subbers distribute the anime. I tend to lose interest or forget about animes that don’t get subbed very fast. Like for Negima or Bartender. If they got subbed faster, I might actually enjoy them more, but waiting 3 weeks per sub is kinda rough. In the end I’m only really enjoying 3 anime this season: Death Note, Black Lagoon, and Sumomomo. I’m not counting One Piece since it’s ongoing, but that’s been pretty good lately as well.

These three cover a broad enough range of genre that I don’t really need to seek enjoyment elsewhere. I’ve got suspense and a smart plotline from Death Note, Action in Black Lagoon, and tons of comedy and some romance from Sumomomo.

Yes, Negima! I’ve been checking out the manga as well.

Danny, yes, I’ll watch Death Note eventually, probably do some catch up in December. I haven’t check out Gift, but I agree on the others. I checked out Soukou no Strain and Busou Renkin; of the two Soukou is more palatable, but I’m not sure if I’ll keep up with it yet. Busou meh, just can’t deal with another one of those.

I recall watching some of the first Yamato Nadeshiko and I liked the OP, so I think I may take to it, buh buh buh… ~_~ Sundays

I can understand why you’re not watching Death Note anymore, but I love watching anime adaptations of manga so it’s a must watch for me, just like D.Gray-man. Both animes pale in comparison with its printed counterpart, but I still like seeing how they turn out. As for the others, Yoake bombed, Pumpkin Scissors fell and Tokimeki sunk. That’s about everything that I started to watch but became uninteresting. However, there are also some that gradually became better, such as Negima!?, Gift, OtoBoku and Sumomomo.

I didn’t even think of Negima!? until I found out it’s directed by Akiko Shinbo. Now, not only is it one of the best things I’m watching, but I’m even buying the manga. Weird how little shows can just sneak up on you like that.
