haahhaha taiga used to call ryuji baka-inu(stupid dog) in the series if im not wrong thats why...
also finished watching Ga rei Zero last night and well its a recommended one for sure the action its pretty nice the blood/gore its just perfect, the characters are lovable and the plot was different but pitifully it failed on certain things like the scene at the graveyard where the classmate starts being a bitch because she killed the teacher... i mean that was stupid who would dare to point finger on somebody who saved your fuckin life from a crazy woman.... or the one at the hospital when the uncle comes in and starts annoying/yelling/disturbing a patient who is just getting recovered from a fuckin terrible nearly fatal attack... i mean what kind of hospital is that and finally that byakuei it was supposed to be the ultimate ga rei beast but Nue was vastly superior....
well thanks god today its science day
can't wait for season 3 of FT wich should air in september so i suppose it will just continue directly when season 2 ends.
anyway, what's you guys/girls list of anime?
mine: http://www.anime-planet.com/users/synaia/anime
there's some old anime in it too and those were mostly watched on tv when i was bit younger so added them, tho my list is bit outdated and should update watching series episodes and add more watched anime.
Edit: if there's an anime that isn't in my watched list and you think it's good, feel free to tell me so i can check it out.
edit 2: so for the upcoming fall 2011 season, for wich anime are you excited? (click for 2011 fall anime season) (and zoom in else, you can't read it ^^ )

SPOILERS FOR GA-REI ZERO
I have to disagree a bit with some of your criticisms.
-I thought the graveyard scene was irrational but that's the point. They were normal girls living a normal life and then their friend shows up and hacks up a person with a sword; they're now promptly informed that the entire world is crawling with demons and that their good friend is involved in their violent destruction. I don't know about you, but I'd be a little weirded out. It doesn't matter that rationally the nurse was a monster, it's that Kagura showed up and demonstrated a willingness to kill if necessary. At that point the one friend was just speaking out of fear and confusion, and even if it's stupid Kagura is a convenient focus for it; the fact that her anger relents when Kagura falls apart in turn supports this.
-I agree it's not realistic that you let a lunatic into an invalid's room at a hospital, but at the same time that development was rather important. It was the fact that they piled all of Yomi's problems onto each other, one after another, that made her transition so believable to me. In the course of less than a week she goes from being a young, fit, attractive girl who is heir of the family to losing her "father," being betrayed by her cousin, robbed by her uncle, and abandoned by Noriyuki's family. This isn't to justify her actions, but I thought they did a very good job of making all the conspiring pettiness come together to break her.

*inserts customary plug for Gunslinger Girl* Although I don't really know if you'd like it. I have to put this disclaimer every time because the show is extremely dull if you're not affected by the pervasive sense of melancholy and its portrayal of a horrible-yet-beautiful world.
And I'm excited for...nothing in particular. I'll just leech off others' watching to figure out what I want to see after the fact. ;D
Edit: I just realized I don't think you've seen most of my favorites (although I have no idea what your tastes are). I could have just missed them since I don't use that site but I didn't spot Spice and Wolf, Mushishi, Samurai Champloo, or Steins;Gate. To save myself some time: link to description of some of the series.

Guess what day it is?
SCIENCE DAY!
dw about my tastes, i love pretty much every type of anime, i'll check them out thursday when my net is back, can't watch vids if they need an hour and more to load :P (more like a download limit of 120Gig a month and i'm over 135Gig atm and it resets every month, problem is also caused with sharing the net with my brother, sister and parents)
edit: there's some more anime waiting to be watched, already got over 30series bookmarked that need to be watched, i'll add them to the list but no guarantee, it will be for the next 2 months tho, esp with the fall season coming close.
edit 2: I think i watched the first 10minutes of Gunslinger Girl, what happened after that idk as i usually finish the episode and then watch the 3 next episodes and then i see if i'll continue watching
is it really science day? i'ma need to make a rocket thenOriginally Posted by Diglett

For Fall, There are a few series I know I will watch simply because they are another season or follow up of a series I already enjoyed like Ika Musume 2nd, Working 2nd, Shana 3rd, The new Last Exile and Fate/Zero. There are also a couple remakes I just have to check out, Lupin III and Hunter x Hunter. Other then that, I am not sure. Guilty Crown, C Cubed, Persona 4, and Mirai Nikki all sound interesting but who knows. As for the slice-of-life, romance and comedy series, they all sound the same in the little one paragraph previews so I will have to wait and see if any are worth watching.

Science day as in new episode of Steins:Gate I think is what they mean. Most of the posters in this thread are obsessed with it right now. I put it on hold cause I could not stand waiting for new episodes and am going to wait till it is finished to watch it. Thankfully, the other people are really good at labeling spoilers for that series and I have been able to avoid any thus far.
Spoiler for Steins;Gate: I knew Kurisu would sacrifice herself for Mayuri, doesn't make it any less sad, I'm glad they've established their relationship before Okabe went back to the beta line, so after the credits the extra scene, makes me wonder. I have a feeling a new world line is going to be made where Kurisu and Mayuri both live, or maybe that's just what I'm hoping for. D:
Also, if you decide to look here for whatever reason before watching the episode, and usually don't sit through the credits, there's an extra scene at the end.
Yup, that's exactly right. :>
I just call it Steinsday. It's no longer Tuesday to me.

Yeah, it's the kind of series where if you get into it, great. If it's not to your tastes, don't try to force it because it'll be 13 episodes of boredom.
And yeah, don't feel compelled to watch those series. They're just my favorites (along with GitS and FMA: Brotherhood, but you'd seen those two already). I've got a bit of an eclectic selection.
ye, can't wait for shana 3, tho i still have to finish the last episode of season 2
i'll probs watch most of the drama,romance series as they are my favorite genres
ye i know about the previews on the end on the episodes , some anime don't show much a a preview tho just a talk and then saying "oh, it was the preview now"
I do mostly skip the opening and ending scenes tho and just go to the next episode.
i see now, didn't watched steins: gate, will add it to my to watch list.
edit: people might be able to read your spoiler on my quote, hope you don't mind else i'll delete that part

Well, finished this week's episode as well. Now to type in antique white!
Spoilers: As Digglett said, I wasn't terribly surprised at the actual outcome of the episode but it was still executed well. That said, despite all the seriousness I got some laughs out of this episode:
-"I'll turn your neocortex into a flowerpot." I do believe that is one of the funniest threats I've ever heard.
-Second time Kurisu imitated Okabe's laugh this series. I swear every time she does that an angel gets its wings.
-The relativity jokes with regards to romance. I never expected to run into that sort of thing in an anime, but it just makes me smile that the writers do know a bit about science (although they were a bit off in saying that memories are stored in your hippocampus).
We've got two more episodes to wrap everything up now; I have to admit, they had me questioning things with their seeming wrap-up and credits. Looks like rather than ending up as a totalitarian state the world melts down in global thermonuclear warfare. I guess if you're gonna screw up as a mad scientist might as well screw up big!
Edit: I think the resolution is going to involve the time shift Okabe experienced as a child. He mentioned it a few episodes ago very casually and they've carefully avoided bringing it up again. Something tells me it'll have a role to play.

You probably do want to delete the spoiler out, just as a safety.
Anyway, if drama/romance are your favorite then I can say that you've got a fairly high likelihood of enjoying Spice and Wolf.

Spoiler: Ya know, just for the record, despite not being a romance anime, the chemistry between Kurisu and Okabe was immense, and their whole relationship has been handled so well, I'm really impressed by this anime.
Oh god, why did I look at /a/, I got spoiled.* cries

Ga rei Zero spoiler
the scene at the graveyard i still believe they could have depicted with a different approach it if what they wanted was someone confronting kagura about killing the teacher... also the scene at the hospital since it was absolutely necessarily to drown Yomi in despair well at least make something like he stormed in bypassing the doctors and the ones in the room with her should had gone and kick the guy out or something a bit more dramatic but the guy just came in and none told him a thing... I just dont like deus ex machina when there is no need
hunterxhunter(because madhouse)
buso shinki(because it looks like IS),
shinryaku ika musume(probably will watch as soon i check first season),
Working 2(cant wait for moar delicious poplar and yes inami and fuck yeah yamada)
last exile(same as ika musume)
kyokai senjou no horizon(will check because i dunno)
fate/zero(because you die only when you are dead)
Guilty crown(synopsis looks nice and i like pink haired girls)
Persona 4(because everybody talks about it)
Phi brain(because the voices in my head told me?)
C2(because it looks promising)
ben-to(because the PV shows'em punching each other in a convi for a super cheap lunch box)
mirai nikki(because plot sounds good)
Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai(because i saw a page from the manga and fuck its hilarious)
Shakugan no shana(because i already endured 2 season of tsundeRIE-chan and finally yuuji seems to be maning it up)
...also i might give a check to some of the others because moe or something
not checking your list sorry it seems pretty extensive if you feel like check mine is right there at my signature even its on a spanish site just scroll down for the 200+ part and check for the ones that have a 8+ rating or/and a pink heart xD the names of the shows are not in spanish anyway...
thats why i avoid that place on tuesdays until ive seen the episode
Steins;gate spoiler
ohh gawd I think I held my breath for 20mins or so... well gotta say I kind of already knew what Kurizu was going to do and it came out almost as expected except that i thought that okabe was going to try something to save kurisu... and fuck the Okabe's voice kind of shaking while playing the mad scientist act...
