    What can I say, I'm easy to please when it comes to anime. Deciding between claymore or Kenshin. I've started Kenshin before and I'm on Ep 17 so I leaning towards that, but claymore looks so badass.

    Are you talking about claymore? If so, I'm guessing it has an open ending what with only 26 episodes. Might play some Xbox before deciding, this is a very important decision. Haha

    Just curious, do y'all like to watch one series at a time or watch like 1-3 episodes of multiple anime?

    Boy, you finished off Emma fast. Both seasons?

    As to your question, I like to finish one before I go on to another. I'm prone to marathoning, as it looks you you are. I remembering finishing Lovely Complex in something like three days.

    Probably won't be watching anything for a little while, though. I've got a presentation to prepare for next Wednesday, and after I'm done with that I'll have the big Borderlands 2 patch to play around with... really looking forward to that.

    Oh, and Claymore does have an open sort of ending. It's one of those shows where they were adapting an unfinished manga, so it diverged at the end, and ended up a bit inconclusive. Really excellent, though. I particularly like the Teresa arc (ep 5-8), and then all the stuff in the North at the end.

    Sorry I meant Kenshin. It gets really good after the slow start. Shishio is the main villain. (They show him in Samurai X at the end) .

    Shishio was the the other assasin that used to kill in the shadows while Kenshin used to be the front dog and take out everyone in sight. After you get done watching Kenshin and you watch the Samurai X OVAs -Trust and betrayal" you'll see him at the end.

    Mushi-Shi is my #2 anime series. I put Texhnolyze above it, but Mushi-Shi is actually easier to recommend because it's not so slow, dark, and obtuse.

    If you end up liking Mushi-Shi you should try Kino's Journey.

    I like the guy's Vash the Stampede costume in pic #2. He's even got the squiggle in the glasses and everything.

    I can't freaking wait for this. Love watching this as a kid but it was in French. Well most of the cool Anime were in French when I was a kid but I still watches them back then.
