wow
so after a season of somewhat depressing forays into trying and failing to find good new anime series, and ultimately replacing them with liveaction series (Nodame Cantabile, Hana Yori Dango II, Heroes, Grey's (I know, I know...hangs head in shame)) I seriously started thinking, "gee, maybe I'm growing out of this anime/manga thing." (I KNOW! The HORROR! call me a traitor, but I did start to imagine that maybe i was wavering in my steadfastness as a hopeless fangirl.)
Then, I was rescued by a serendipitous run-in with Genshiken volumes 6 and 7 in the bookstore yesterday afternoon, followed by going home and finding the rest of it online, followed by finding an OAV of this fun 12 episode series... And what do you know--the love is all back, which is so appropriate considering Genshiken is really about dorks in an anime club, anyway.
Then, then, today, I found an OAV of ichigo mashimaro on youtube. The show is CUTENESS defined... like, the perfectly innocent, melt your heart, slice-of-life cuteness. If you ever need a lifter-upper, this is IT. aaahhh....
Having said all that, I'm still looking for recommendations... I miss series of the Mushishi/Cowboy Bebop/Rah Xephon caliber. I do have Eureka 7 and Deathnote on my hands, both of which have potential to be good, but I've seen the first few eps of Eureka 7 and it didn't do it for me, while deathnote... i sort of know what's going to happen. So yes, anyone out there with any ideas?
