DEMONDESTINY'S ANIME TOPIC!!!

MY FAVES:

Xenosaga the Animation:
Since I don't have PS2 and still loved that series due to Shion Uzuki, to be honest, I am a sucker for glasses girls. She's one of the factors why I watched Xenosaga the Animation and of course, it gave me an idea what the heck Xenosaga was. Though it's a 12-episode OVA.

Bokurano:
At first, I thought it's similar to Baldr Force EXE Resolution and Rockman.EXE because their opening song was entitled "Uninstall" but it's a tear-jerker character-cuddler mecha variant of NGE, Brain Powered and Rahxephon.

This one's a bit better & close-to-reality variant of Brain Powered, Rahxephon and Evangelion for me. Why?

Look, the physics applied to the mechs in Rahxephon and in NGE were really appropriate for Super Robot genre, but the mechs in this anime? They're a bit real because robots right now move a bit slow, not yet blitzy as Gundams and Evas.

The characters were just plain ordinary kids we see in this world, nothing exaggerated like Shana, Haruhi, Yuki Nagato and Orihime.

The characterization of those ordinary characters were well-portrayed, especially Jun Ushiro, Masaru Kodama, Nakama, Takami Komoda and even Daichi Yamada! Why? The characterization of those guys I've mentioned were close to typical kids of today.

The music is astonishing even though some of it were mostly piano instrumentals by Yuji Nomi. The songs sung by Chiaki Ishikawa were great especially "Uninstall" because it kinda explained some elements of that anime, "Little Bird" on the other hand was a bit of a tear-jerker, for me, it's some sort of a "funeral" ending song for characters that have died in the anime.

Baldr Force EXE Resolution:
This one's Matrix plus Rockman.EXE plus Dennou Coil with mechas. I thought this was gonna be a series but it's only a 4-episode OVA. Another thing why I loved this anime because of a glasses-girl character named Minori Segawa.

Gundam SEED & Gundam SEED Destiny

Tsubasa Chronicles

Rockman.EXE (the whole series):
Well, I am a big Rockman.EXE freak and used to make fan fics out of that series, but most of the time, far-fetched cross-overs. Once I loved its game, I also loved its anime, regardless of flaws, mismatches (anime = game?) & inconsistencies. Also, I loved their songs especially Shouri no Uta (Rockman.EXE BEAST opening), Piece of Peace (Rockman.EXE ending 1), Be Somewhere (Rockman.EXE STREAM opening) & Ashiato (Rockman.EXE BEAST ending).

Pretty Cure:
I'm a bit sucker to magic girls but what attracted me to this anime is Nagisa a.k.a. Cure Black because I liked her character & her Cure Black form. I only watched this I think... just 2 episodes, in different versions (Indonesian dub and a brief glimpse in Filipino dub version).

And for now, my current interests are soap operas & tokusatsu stuff like Kamen Rider KIVA, Den-O, Faiz, Ryuuki, Agito & Kabuto :D

I saw The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya last weekend.

I'd say that it's probably the best high-school comedy drama parodying anime stereotypes while exploiting fetishes and featuring questionable science fiction and crazy battle sequences while presenting metaphysical questions about the nature of reality ever. It's not the best anime I've ever seen (the ending wasn't as great as it should have been, for a start), but it's still really entertaining.
