That is something I'll definitely check out eventually. It's one of Osamu Dezaki's (RIP) most revered works.

CLANNAD ALL THE WAY!!
Well, acully, Vampire Night is my 2# faveroute and then Clannad and then pokemon..
Vampire knight! is about thye story of a 15year old girl called yuki that goes to a school called Cross Academy, whitch is trying to make people and vampires co. exist with each other through education, thing is, pretty much all of teh day class students don't know the night class students are vampires, and Yuki, along with a 16year old boy, Zero are the disciplinairy commitee-which is on partol at night keeping an eye on the night class so they dont spill the beans.

BTW, does another series count as the same rank XD (Vampire Knight+vampire Knight Guilty & Clannad+ Clannad After Story and well, all of the pokemon series?!? ;)

Bleach. I was considering buying some of those at a closing sale (only $3 a disc) but I didnt. I've never watched it but I've heard people talking about it. Just to bad I didn't take the deal.

Nothing wrong with that. I like obscure anime as well. Some obscure anime I like are:

~Now and Then, Here and There
~Monster
~Nobody's Boy: Remi
~Barefoot Gen (Technically an anime movie, but it still counts I guess...)

Been thinking lately about watching Cross Game as well. I don't really care about sports, but that anime actually looks pretty interesting.

From the first 50 or so episodes of Bleach that I watched, it actually wasn't that bad. I've heard it gets bad (quality-wise) at some parts -- though I haven't seen those parts myself -- so I can't really judge how it is.

One of my 1st series was Urusei Yatsura; I really loved its off the wall comedy. I also enjoyed Ranma & Innuyasha, noting that a few characters in them were obviously based upon some in UY. These all are from Rumiko Takahashi.

I enjoy a bit of silliness, so Bleach & Naruto do not annoy me, even with the characters talking when they ought to be fighting & the plots that move along very slowly, despite intense action. I like Full Metal Panic & its sequel. Laughter is very important to me!

I could not even begin to list the shows I have seen, as I have to date, borrowed about 2,000 dvds from NF, & cannot even remember most. I do want to give EXCEL SAGA another view, since I first watched it with an insufficient background in anime. :lol:

Well defenetly One Piece now above DragonBall wich used to be my favourite.

I'm also really enjoying tezuka's adult works i'm reading the hole phoenix saga right now (at volume 4) and it really changed the way i looked at the meaning of life so much more than the OVA series did hope vertical will etleast continue to bring out more but yeha kinda offtopic it supose to be about anime only ?

Well after One Piece i really like Death Note and much of the Sci-fi Anime and stuff like Lupin,Yu Yu Hakusho,Rurouni Kenshin and such.

Do you know that he didn't work on the entire series?

I own the boxset released by IDP a few years ago, and there is an interview with Dezaki in the bonuses. I had not realized there had been a switch of director; after watching the interview, I could recognize the difference, it is true that things become darker, more serious; but since the characters are so young in the beginning, it makes sense that there wasn't as much tension in the first episodes.
