Just watched Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?
I'm totally loving the series so far, great comedy in it, and the action was decent. The Mahou Shojo transformations were pretty cool, and I just love the characters, especially Eucliwood Hellscythe. She's the necromancer chick but she doesn't talk much and is considered a "tsundere".
Currently watching Dragon Crisis! I'll edit my post when I'm done with it.
Edit: Dragon Crisis!
I enjoyed it, and Rose was cute and stuff but I don't really have a mood to watch the episodes that will come out and stuff. I'll put this on my "On Hold" list.

NEWS FLASH: Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka officially wins "Best OP song of season" award.
Im listening to it on loop, really catchy song. Defiantly gonna be getting the OP CD for that when it comes out.
As for the anime itself, that was some seriously funny stuff. But what do you expect from a show that has a magical girl wielding a chainsaw? I love the disclaimer at the beginning "The protagonist of this story is a zombie. Do not try this at home" :P .
Originally i was thinking this was going to be just a mediocre fantasy show, but if the first episode is anything to judge by this might end up in my top 5 for the season.
The one bit i didn't really like was the part just before the OP. I know its mostly a comedy series but i was really liking the atmosphere the monologue was setting, then they had to go and break it ...
Oh yeah, and male pantsu shot!! ARRRRGH! MY EYES HAVE BEEN VIOLATED!!!!
And question. What exactly does masou mean?
Oh, btw Embrace M E, you've got the same name on ANN dont you(without the space in 'me')? Im the guy who posted under you on the Houro Musuko thread, the one with the "immna firin mah lazor" version of Kinzo Ushiromiya's head for an avatar.

Aha, yea, that's me, and I'm AsuraCryin on CR (if you use it).
I heard the "masou" might be a mistranslation or something, but when I heard the characters talking, it sounded like "Masou". I have to agree with you on the monologue part, breaking it ruined the atmosphere, but the follow up was just hilarious. I like the "dark" parts (his monologue, cemetery scene) being broken with the comedy though. I'm going to repeat this (just like I did in EVERY anime forum I visited):
Nothing's going to be more epic as a Mahou-Shojo running around with a chainsaw, Necromancer, and Vampire Ninja in 1 show this season.

Yeah, not really big on CR. Im a dirty, dirty pirate (who buys DVD's so its OK :P ).
Its defiantly 'masou'. Even in what i take to be the episode title (which pops up under the main title in the OP) the character is different from the one for mahou.
If we also take it that the video hasn't been edited, it also says masou on the chainsaw in the opening. Ide be willing to say that there hasn't been any edits because it leaves kyuk**su untranslated.
Any guesses on what the girl in the OP with the bleeped "she is..." is going to be? if you already know dont tell me. Im gonna wager another magical girl...Or maybe the serial killer (that would be funny :P )

Hey all, bout to start watching Spiral. Would anyone have any opinions on whether or not I should buy the box set? I remember the story vaguely from watching it about 4 years ago on color tv, but they cancelled their anime block sessions.

If any1 would give an opinion or why or why not on buying this boxset, I'd be much obliged :D

**EDIT**
I remember something about the Blade Children(sounds totally badass) and Ayes Rutherford in particular

Spiral: Bonds of Reasoning? I enjoyed it, but it could have followed the manga for a better storyline, overall it was pretty decent.
Anyways, whether you should buy the boxset or not... I would go ahead and get it if I had the change, just to have memories of it and watch it in higher resolution on a TV. And to be able to re-watch it without any problems. So, go for it! But, beware of my advice, I'm not good at giving any.
I would love to buy boxsets of animes but sadly I don't have a credit card or PayPal account.

I've watched both K-on first and second seasons, very fun and the characters are cute and lovable too.
Though there is a catch, the story is not concluded..... A movie shall be released soon, to conclude the plot. I'm waiting for it also.

Lol I try to generally get the websites that have a number to call, but many don't take just checks or things like that.

You would be better of doing what i did when i stated buying anime online, get your keycard bank account turned into a debit account.
Debit cards are the same as credit cards, but rather than using the banks money they use money from your account, so you dont have to make any repayments and never get charged any interest. They dont have the massive bank fee's that credit cards have, just the normal account keeping fee.
You can also still use them like a standard ATM card.
