Haibane Renmei: 9.3/10. Made my top 10 list at the 3rd spot.

Chobits: 9/10. I've only watched the first dvd but if the rest is as good as the first, its going up there pretty high.

Case Closed: 8.5/10 It's a good show, very enertaining, even if its getting somewhat repetitive.

Wolf's Rain: 7.5/10 Good show, somewhat slow, and the main characters kind of annoy me. But i like it so far.

Naruto: (Currently at: Episode 89) Enduring those filler episodes was painful. Right now, it's sitting as a 6/10 in my head. I'm sure it will go up when Episode 90 is subbed.

Full Metal Alchemist: (Currently at: Episode 7) I like Edward, but not his name--or Alphonse's (o-o). It's a pretty dark and violent series so far, really. What I don't like is that so far, almost every alchemist seems to be evil or crazy, or has hints of eventually becoming/revealed as evil or crazy. It's at a 8/10 in my head.

What else am I watching? Carmen Sandiego? It was a cool pirate episode this week on Yahooligans. PIRATES. Awesomeness.

Case Closed-8.5/10. It's pretty good if not repetetive.

Inuyasha-9.7/10. The Red and White Priestesses episode was just hillarious.

Rave Master: 7.5/10. Meh-It's not nessecarily the best, but it's worth it.

Wolf's Rain: 4/10. I missed a few weeks so now I'm lost.

Detective Conan- 7.5 It's fun to watch and try to solve the cases, even though they're usually too tough for me. Richard is awesome.

Inuyasha- 6.5 Bleh, severely repetitive and it's starting to get pretty redundant. The relationships and angst between Kikyo, Kagome, and Inuyasha is really annoying. Last saturday's episode with the giant ogre lady wasn't too bad though. Maybe I'll like it more when they get in more episodes or something. I first gave it a 5.0, but it gets a bonus 1.5 for making some of the most likeable characters I've ever seen. Totosai, Myoga, Miroku, Koga, and Miroku's tanuki are awesome. Especially Totosai.

Yu Yu Hakusho - 7.5 I still like it, despite FUNimation's gratuitous edits in some of the recent episodes.

Lupin III - 9.0 I love this show, it never fails to crack me up. It has good comedy, action, and good characters(the only one of the main characters I don't like is Fujiko... and she's meant to be somewhat dislikeable anyway). Zenigata is one of the best characters ever.

Wolf's Rain- 8.0 I really like this show. A very unique premise and really cool characters. It can get a little confusing a bit at times, though. Quent Yaiden(the old drunk that hunts wolves) is awesome. Ever notice how I have a knack for liking the more "secondary" characters?

One Piece- 9.5 I loooooove this series! It isn't a 10 because I've had to deal with filler eps for a while... bleh. I've expressed my love for One Piece enough, so I don't want to do it again here.

Naruto- 8.0 I haven't watched enough of this yet, but I'm up-to-date on the manga. I need to get off my ass(actually, more ON it) and watch the episodes I've had for a while. This anime
also has a lot of likeable characters that have charmed me. The fighting is really good, too.

Rave Master- 7.5 I've really been enjoying this anime series, desptie some of the dumb edits. It's just really fun to watch.

I think that's about all that I've seen recently... yeah.

Oh! My Goddess - 5/10. It's certainly an aptly titled series. It made me want to scream something quite similar to that. The show drips terrible sap. Luckily, the voice acting isn't as bad as most shows of similar plot.

Card Captor Sakura - 9/10. Somewhat old, yes, but good nonetheless. The scenes are beautiful, and the dialogue generally entertaining.

Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Oh-Ki! OVA - 7/10. What little menace left from the first OVA goes right out the window here in the name of comedy, which some people certainly would find a good direction. It's probably conservatism speaking, but I want to stab most of these newly introduced characters.

Saint Seiya - 7/10. Childhood loves just don't seem as good anymore when you've been sensitized against fights that last more than a week. I'm still in love with Shun, though.

Duel Masters - 9/10: Kinda sappy at points, but it's HILARIOUS. It's rarely takes itself seriously, and it's just so funny when it doesn't.

Yu-Yu-Hakusho: Damn Funimation releasing the DVD's too slowly. I give the series an 8.75/10 it's good it's in my top three favorite Animes.

FLCL: Awesome the second in my top three. 9/10
only six episodes though...

Rouroni Kenshin: My favorite anime 9.5/10 Really good in the Kyoto saga.

And finally Berserk: One of the worst Anime ever! 5.5/10 I would go indepth on why it sucks so much but I'd be typing for hours.

Yu Yu Hakusho: 8.5/10
I've had no issues with this series at all. I remember in the outset of Saturday Adult Swim it and Inuyasha were the better shows in the line-up.

Inuyasha: 6.5/10
It has really good moments....but it also has its bad moments. Anything with Kikyo, Kagome, and Inuyasha involved at the same time is the worst. That and they keep showing the same clips over and over again. Seriously if I have to see that ****ing skiff scene again where Kikyo and Inuyasha hug one more time i'm gonna be seriosly pissed. The show is at its best when things aren't serious. Comic relief episodes are good. Naraku however makes things not funny.

Gundam Seed: 7.0/10
Good stuff. But they gotta cut down on the UC Gundam influence. Like Artemis/Luna 2 etc...

Vandread: 9.0/10
I'm really into this show. Though you get some sappy episodes in there, overall its entertaining.

Ravemaster: 7/10
Its alright. Not good. Not bad. You can watch it and not really care too much.

Yu-Yu-Hakusho: Was perferable on Adult Swim, also. "Send me to Heaven or Hell or wherever I'm supposed to go". Great line. And a lot of Yusuke's swearing, classic. 9/10. 4Kids dub: Well, at least we got to see more of episodes. 8.5/10. The SNES games were also fun. (Not GBA)

I finally saw a DVD box of Yu-Yu-Hakusho at Sam Goody. It was up to Ukiema's rescuing (Well, the Ukiema episodes). $100. Holy crap, how expensive. (Well, there was at least seven DVDs.)

...4Kids never worked on Yu Yu Hakusho. FUNimation has always been dubbing it.

Oh yeah, I forgot a few:


Duel Masters: 1/10
What a waste of 30 minutes. If that nerd guy is supposed to be the stereotypical nerd, then he would be whooping everyone's ass in that game, because most card players I duel (Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magi Nation) who beat me are nerds. Plus, that show is supposed to be funny? Oh-I just wasted 30 minutes of my life I could have spent doing something else. I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

Yu Yu Hakusho: 8.9/10
It would be SO much better if it didn't suffer the DBZ effect, if FUNimation hadn't edited like hell and if Kuwabara's voice was better. Though I REALLY was surprised when Toguro killed Kuwabara after Genkai told him to kill one of Yusuke's friends. I was completley SURE he was gonna kill Keiko.

Witch Hunter Robin: 6/10
I can watch it and not get bored, though a bit of some of the episodes does get boring at times. ([LAME JOKE]How about we change the "W" to a "B"?[/LAME JOKE])

Lupin the Third: 9/10
Can you NOT watch that show and NOT help but laughing or liking it? It's freaking hillarious!

Digimon Season 4: 6/10
Yes I know it's the worst season, but right now they're showing the good episodes.

.hack//SIGN: 7/10
While some people (Who shall remain nameless) may not agree with my score, the 2.25 point dockage is because if you miss one episode, then you're lost (Like that show "Galidor" Fox had on Saturday mornings a few years back) and most of it is either Dialogue or Tsukasa grunting (Well, I don't nessecarilly mind high dialogue). The reason I got so far behind when they still ran it was because my sister thought it was just poitnless crap TiVo suggestions gives us (Geez. Record ONE episode of Cyborg 009 and then you get ****loads of crap for 8 year olds) and deleted them. When I told her to stop deleting them, I had absolutley no clue what was going on.

Ultimate Muscle: 7/10
Now I see why Carter likes it.

I just can't see how people enjoy Yu Yu Hakusho so much. It's gotta be the manga that's so bad. There must be some kind of drastic difference between them. O.o

You do know Kuwabara's voice was like that before FUNimation dubbed it, right? I mean the Adult Swim version. Of course, Yusuke had a sort of different voice (with all the swearing!), also.

FUNIMATION HAS ALWAYS DUBBED YU YU HAKUSHO.

I think Kuwabara's voice actor also did Piccolo's voice in DBZ.

I'm talking that Kuwabara's voice sounds kind of whiny when he's asking Yukina to heal him.

Yeah-Ever wonder why so many people like Lupin the Third? Because...It's good? That's why we like Yu Yu Hakusho-It's good, even though tey dragged on the Dark Tournament like there's no tomorrow and edited it like crazy. Plus, Kuwabara, Heiei, and Kurama=

I actually have been wondering why evryone likes Lupin The Third. Considering the manga is the worst thing ever created and the anime isn't much better. And the reason why everyone likes Yu-Yu-Hakusho is... drumroll please............. it owns.
