Samurai 7 is pretty good.

I got it DVR'd. (It skipped a couple episodes, though, so that's a bummer) I plan on watching it one of these days.

I just started watching cowboy bebop again. It's one off my favorite anime series.

Well that's like saying "Air is one of my favorite atmospheric gasses."

Um sure?

Anyways I'd definitely recommend S7.

On a different note has anyone seen season 2 of darker than black?

S7 is good so far. The animation changes on about ep. 7-8 though, it gets better.

Right, I've finished Brave Police J-Decker, time for a small writeup.

Remember how I said it could be my favourite Brave series so far? It sure is, and it totally deserved it. Even if you're not a real fan of Super Robot anime, it's worth a watch.
Whereas GaoGaiGar had focused on one's courage, be it human or robot, J-Decker focuses on one's heart and Super A.I. development. Each major character has a unique personality and you can't help but love some of them. The more you watch the show the more insight you get with them, personally I got really attached to some.
It starts off slow, with each character getting a spotlight episode, but things get really serious in the second half. Subject matter can be surprisingly adult for a kid's show, some episodes are downright tear-jerking, while others make you think about what somebody is and the validity of one's existence. To be balance it out some episodes are downright silly and comedic.
One of the better things is that full combining sequences are used sparingly, especially in the second half. To save screen time and keep the pace of action up, the robots either show up on the scene fully combined or combine instantly after the command's been given. Highlights:

- Easter Eggs galore! You'll find lots of reused Brave designs, and others from popular culture if you look close enough.
- Combining is similar in nature to GaoGaiGar, in that the robots must have a certain state of mind for the combination to succeed. Thus, first combos are bound to fail.
- One episode features a giant panda, I mean a GIANT panda. Of course, the "don't hurt the panda" rule applies, so... He's so cute!
- The boy crossdressing as a girl in one episode... Yes, he's a boy.
- The final 3 episodes make a lot of unexpected turns in the plot, yet don't crash and burn.

In short, this entry in the Brave series is tamer than others, but makes up for it with character and heart. Again, if you choose to skip it you do it at your own risk.

Over half way through Samurai 7, and loving it. Its pretty awesome.

Samurai 7 is on Netflix.

I haven't actually watched anything lately because most seem the same. You get the super powered guy who's the main character and has to fight other super powered guys who happen to have the same powers but are stronger. Or when a main character is about to die from this super epic fight, he/she pulls out some super move that they've always had the ability for and never used it 'till then. It all gets kind of old after a while. But I've actually been looking up things on Youtube and some have caught my eye. so the next one I'm going to watch is Sword Art Online. That looks pretty good even though it might have what I mentioned earlier.

The last Anime I got is New Kyoto Arc from Kenshin.

i plan on buying Darkstalkers episode 1 and Fatal Fury 3 on VHS.

[John Talbain]

I own all of Samurai 7 on DVD.

Blade of the immortal, the manga has not finished yet.

[Shadowman]

on VHS.

I remember VHS! I also remember how it's been replaced three times over. If you can only find it on VHS, you're better off just pirating it.

...See, now I'm thinking of that episode of Cowboy Bebop, and how to play it, you're going to have to traverse a half-sunken museum.

In other news, I'm watching Soul Eater on Adult Swim, and it is awesome and I love it.

I found lots of anime on vhs on amazon.com
