School started and things are most definitely getting interesting for little old me. I've finally accepted anime into my life!

Well, some of it anyway. For all the time it's been getting popular there has only been a sad few anime series and mangas that I'd invest my full interest-and money- in : Akira, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tomie, Love Hina and Negima! .

And at college most of the people I hang out with play WoW, Ragnarok and Halo ( none of which I own or play), and watch the more popular anime like Naruto, Trigun, Full Metal Alchimest and Hellsing. There's only a couple of guys I know that share my love for Silent Hill and David Lynch's films.

So I finally gave in a couple weeks back and got around to watching some of the animes that my friend Panda was nagging me to see. Here are my brief reviews:

Tenchi Muyo!- As a die-hard Love Hina fan, this one had me in stiches

Trigun- Hilarious, fun and most definitely a must buy.

Elfen Lied- Sad, shocking and bloody as hell... and most importantly, Awesome!

Hellsing- I don't give a rat's ass if the manga is better, this is now my second favorite anime, second only to Evangelion of course. I can't wait for the new series to come out in the U.S. Alucard is the definition of badass!

Naruto- I know that the japanese version of the show is supposed to be better, but even so it's like diarria : The longer I sit there watching it, the more painful and irritating it gets.

Howl's Moving Castle- I haven't seen something this trippy since "Yellow Submarine". I love this movie, but it's one helluva' headtrip. Whatever Hiyao Miyazaki is on, I want some!

And of course, there's also Outlaw Star, Metropolis and many more waiting on my netflix que.

But first, I must watch Cannibal Holocaust before dinner- tonight is meatoaf night, omigahd!!!
