snarpHaving finished Utena, I now need another anime to watch while I use the treadmill. Suggestions?
("Go outside" does not count. It's muddy.)
Stuff I've seen all the way through:
Princess Tutu - ****
Haibane Renmei - ****
Baccano! - ****
Excel Saga - *** 1/2
Darker Than Black - ***
Requiem from the Darkness - ***
Serial Experiments Lain - ***
Last Exile - ***
Gankutsuou - ***
Ouran High School Host Club - ** 1/2 (sorry, but for me, it will always fall short in comparison to the manga)
Fruits Basket - ** 1/2 (same)
RahXephon - ** 1/2
El Hazard - *
Descendants of Darkness - I DON'T KNOW
X - My feelings about it are colored too deeply by my dysfunctional relationship with CLAMP's work as a whole for any useful evaluation to be possible.
Now and Then, Here and There - This is one of the most unrelentingly cruel narratives I've ever consumed in any format. For what it is, it's well done - I just hate what it is.
Stuff I've watched a little of before stopping:
Fullmetal Alchemist (1st series) - Yeah, yeah, I know.
Mushishi
NeiA_7
E'S Otherwise - THIS IS SO TERRIBLE. Though I might finish it to see just how much it eventually ends up ripping from X.
Stuff I refuse to watch:
Puella Magi Madoka Magica - I watched the first episode, searched for synopses, discovered that my predictions were basically accurate, and decided against it. I've already watched Now and Then, Here and There once; I don't need to see the shoujo version.
Saiunkoku Monogatari - Shan't!
Edited to add a couple things I'd forgotten.
