@TechEngineer:
Ohhh, that sounds interesting then. Yeah, I found Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 by chance sometime near when the earthquake/tsunami hit Japan back in March :(
Thanks for the info, i'll look them up ^_^ I wonder if they'll be able to make it to the Christmas deadline they set for the Steins;Gate VN translation? Hopefully :P

I know this isn't anime, but has anyone watched this Japanese live action movie released in 2000, called "Battle Royale", which was based on the Japanese novel of the same name? It also had a manga series based on it too.

Me! That the the first Japanese non-anime movie that I ever saw. The movies not great, not bad, but not great. The book on the other hand was great, It really puts the whole 'experiment' thing into context as a terror weapon for a corrupt government system, rather than just being about teenagers killing each other.
Its really well written and the action which makes up the bulk of the action is awesome, but I found the most fascinating parts to be the bits that describe the state of the country/government, as well as the moral questions that the book asks.
Hated the second movie though, found it rather boring. Though the real killer for me was the absolute logic fail on the part of the government concerning the twin collars. Fair enough use the fear of death to make them do things, but dont rig it so the enemy can wipe out your forces twice as fast...
Never read the manga series, dont like the art.

Finished Angel Beats the other day. Short anime, but very good in my opinion. I'm currently watching Clannad and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (just started Melancholy, actually)with a random episode of Fairy Tail here and there.
Of course, one of my favorite animes is a classic: Fooly Cooly. <3
As you noticed, I'm not exactly into action-based anime these days, or large-sized ones either. :|
