I laughed a lot when I watched Fomufuu. XD I never did see the second raid. I probably will one of these days.
Every time I see a post about Lovely Complex, I get tempted to watch it again. ^_^ It's such a cute and fun show.
I also found the fight in TotA kind of disappointing. It felt like they could have done a little more than they did. It reminds me that I need to beat the game though. ^^
Fumofuu was just amazing, no other word for it. =P
As for Tales of the Abyss. The fight was better in the game, but they did make it anti climatic enough to definitely clue into the fact that it's far from over.
There's a reason for why Luke is behaving the way he is, but you'll find out. Provided they don't skip it in the anime. o_O
So many series to keep track of! You are dedicated! Yes, the last few episodes of 00 were great, especially when they figured out Trans-Am, lol. Gah, the Chinese Federation in Code Geass is really annoying, but at least some of them can kind of out think Lelouch (which seems to happen more often in R2). Are they really that far in the Abyss anime? I've been out of the loop for that series for awhile...
The animation of Clannad ep. 16 was breathtaking. Nagisa's eyes especially caught my attention. Lordy. I'm not sure I can take watching that show anymore ;__; (But of course I will....)
*runs off to watch the latest Toradora! immediately* :D
Ah, I haven't seen Shana, so any similarities Kurokami has to that series are going above my head, haha.
Erin's art definitely is all kinds of pretty. If the larger story develops into something at least solid, then this could be a really good series.
At least Nana is going to keep making appearances, at least according to the next episode preview. I, too, was a bit disappointed that she couldn't become Yoshino's soeur right away, but I guess she could become an unofficial soeur of sorts for now, while they build their relationship.
And wtf @ Munto. That is disappointing to hear. This series is really bugging the crap out of me now. :|

Kurokami still seems to me like a ripoff of Shakugan no Shana, except that the guy is a tsundere instead of the girl. Also, Kuro doesn't wield a sword, which is minus a few cool points – though, on the plus side, Punipuni is kind of awesome. Like Shana, the story is boring me but I kind of like the characters and action so it's hung on and kept itself from being dropped.
I continued to spaz over Kemono no Souja Erin's art in ep2. I don't think I've ever been this in love with an anime's background art before.
In Marimite 4th, I was actually a bit disappointed when I learned that Nana was still in middle school. I took an instant liking to her and hoped Yoshino would pull a Sachiko and actually just up and make Nana her petite soeur.
About Munto TV... Sorry, but Yumemi's not there yet. If it follows the second OAV, we've got a while yet before she gets involved again. Most of it was her basically just going about her life while crap happened up in the heavens. I seriously hope they chop it down to one, maybe two episodes instead of the three they spent on the first OAV's plot because it really wasn't as interesting as the first one. I'm almost starting to regret having watched the OAVs first because it makes the pacing of the TV series rather annoying.
I actually like the secondary track on To Aru Majutsu no Index's second OP single, jellyfish, more than the primary track that was used for the OP. Though it probably wouldn't have worked as well with the series. I've not yet looked up a translation to find out why it's titled jellyfish.
Personally, I was disappointed by TotA episode 18. The Van battle at Absorption Gate is much better in the game. Luke had some tremendous resolve to fight and everyone had to give it their all. Here we see the little punk chicken out halfway through the fight and the result is something like that soldier he killed on the Tartarus. Not to mention Van getting owned by some of the weakest Artes in the game. Turbulence, Jade? Seriously? I know about the fon slot seal, but you pulled off an Indignation in the second episode! WTF.
Anyway, just a little rant. It's too bad, since this is one of the best adaptations of a game out there I've seen. Hopefully the REAL final battle won't disappoint.
I didn't look at what you said for Tales of the Abyss. ^^ I'm not that far in the game yet and I'm not allowed to download stuff so I've only seen the episodes that Crystia showed me when her and Nathan visited last month. I really want to see it!
