With the lose of Newtype I lost contact with much of the info pertaining to
current anime releases in Japan. I loved having the inside scoop on what was showing and would eventually be licensed in the US. So please fill me in on what new series you've discovered and I'll do the same.

What I'm watching now and recommend

Like many of you I'm watching D.Grayman. I'm 82 episodes into it and still intrigued by the story. I love the fact that Allen Walker's character is constantly developing thoughout the series and unlike many animes, his outfit is changing with him. I always appreciate when a character doesn't wear the same outfit for an entire series. In fact, I'm attending the Toronto, Canada Fan Expo on Aug. 22 in both Crown Clown guises. He doesn't acquire this attire until episode 70 but so far I like these outfits the best and the weapons ain't too shabby either. I've downloaded up to episode 92 so I'm hoping to catch up this weekend. Another short series that I recommend that has not yet been released in the US but has been licensed is "Ghost Hunt." I've watched a lot of horror type animes (Elfen Lied, Boogiepop Phantom, etc.) but none of them made my skin crawl like this one did. I hope the dubbed version doesn't ruin it. After what I heard them do to the concert scene in "The Melancholy Haruhi Suzumiya" I guess they can ruin the best scene in any feature if they try hard enough. Here is the original version if you've never heard it . Well, this is it for my first ever blog. I'll be writing more this weekend.
