Deathnote, is simply amazing. I, like you, was just totally addicted from start til finish, dedicating most nights to just watching it. The storyline was just so fresh and interesting. I just loved the music in it as well, and with the japanese voice acting just made it amazing. Not just one of my favourite anime, but one of my favourite shows ever.

I couldn't get into Cowboy Bebop either, just found it a bit boring unfortunately, shame as I was looking forward to it after the hype on GR.

I'm currently watching 'Welcome to the NHK' which is a 24 part series. It's.....odd...to tell you the truth but very entertaining at the same time...even if it is a bit well..cringeworthy at times.

I'm also reading the Deathnote manga at the moment, the first manga I have ever read as I enjoyed the anime so much.

The music in Death Note is a true highlight - I loved the opening song in the first 16 episodes and Kira/L's theme. That human strawberry floater song was terrible though. I got to binge through Death Note as I started watching it well after it had reached the mid 20's. Best way to watch a show like Death Note too. I did the same thing with One Piece last year, went through about 310 episodes in about a month! Good times.

It's good to see I'm not alone in the "Cowboy Bebop really isn't very good" camp. I just couldn't see what all the fuss was about, I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did.

Welcome to the NHK sounds quite interesting, I may well give it a go.

I read the last 3/4 chapters of Death Note because it has a different ending to the one in the anime but haven't read the whole thing.

Darker than Black is probably next on my 'to watch list'.

I read the first 6 or 7 manga of Initial D, it's rather good. I've no intention of watching the anime but just thought I'ld throw it in there.

It's an amazing looking film graphically. The first 2 parts are really well done but it does fall a bit on the 3 part. If you can find a blu-ray version of it floating around, then it's well worth the hefty file size.

I read that as hefty fine ! I don't think it will run too smoothly on my computer, unfortunately. Might have to settle for the DVD version on payday.

The wraparound jacket band on the 20th volume of Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist manga will confirm on Friday that a new television anime series is in the works. A new anime series was a topic of much fan discussion for several months, but it was thrust into a more public spotlight last month when a management document was purportedly leaked from the BONES anime studio. The document listed Fullmetal Alchemist animator Yasuhiro Irie as "Hagane 2 kantoku" (Iron/Fullmetal 2 director).

After the purported leak, BONES President Masahiko Minami posted an official statement that said that no file with this same formatted information existed within the company. When asked about the possibility of a sequel to Fullmetal Alchemist or Darker than BLACK (another BONES anime), Minami told ANN, "It hasn't been decided yet. We are interested in doing them. As original science-fiction works, they were extremely fascinating. With these kinds of dramatic story lines, I feel that there's a lot we could do potentially."

Viz Media will publish the 17th volume of the manga version in North America this October, while FUNimation Entertainment released both the first television series and its theatrical movie finale.

WATCH IT! Kino's Journey is great. Story of a girl and her bike as they travel through various countries and the types of people they meet so there's no overall plotline but it's just a great series to watch.

The series FPS(Rock is that you?) are all good 'uns too.

I've got the first 10 volumes and I really want to buy more of the series since I've been really enjoying it. I may watch the anime as well to see what it's like since plasticcoated rather likes it (has he registered here yet?).
