Evangelion's amazing, it kinda changed my life, maybe?
It's the kind of show where if you're not an introvert you probably won't think it's all that great. Having talked to others fans, it also seems watching it at The Right Time In Your Life has a bit to do with it as well. That time is usually in a person's late teens.
Do yourself a favor and watch The End of Evangelion when you've finished the show. The show's ending/final episode is brilliant contrary to what a lot of people say, but so is the movie - lots of great scenes.
As a disclaimer I'm definitely in the minority. Here's an example of the English ending:
I dunno, during the show itself I feel the sound just totally jives with the post-apocalyptic atmosphere. The English voices have that rare quality of 'not good, but just bad enough to be good', if you know what I mean.

Since Crackle doesn't have more Madoka past episode 3, I decided to start watching Oreimo, another hyped anime I missed out on. So far, I'd say it's a cliched message presented in a tacky way, but it's cute and well-made. It's entertaining, so I'll watch the whole thing.

Don't worry I will. Watched a couple more episodes today, still only about 6 episodes in, but it starting to grow on me. I'll definitely see it through to the end.

Any thoughts on City Hunter?
I got the first series on DVD. If anyone wants to comment on the other series, go for it.
In related news, I finished watching Yu Yu Hakusho - I had it playing as background noise most of the time. I ended up liking the last two story arcs more than I did when I was younger, although it still seemed silly for Yusuke to have trouble with humans after fighting Toguro.

Currently watching D-Gray Man
Finished Claymore and Darker than Black, which were both basically x-men style, Jojo, everyone has a distinct super power stuff. Shouldn't have watched them back to back.
Planning to watch Last Exile next.

I really liked claymore, how she grew full of rage by the end was entertaining to say the least

yeah, and then she became the prototype for a boss enemy from RE6.

How was Darker than Black? It sits on my queue and doesn't really tell me to watch it :/

i actually just got done catching up with the re-release of Hunter x Hunter by Madhouse
definitely doing the series justice this time around
i haven't looked up to see how far into the series they're going to go, but after what i've seen so far, the longer they go, the better

I loved Darker than Black. Did you catch the sequel and the OVA as well?
D.Gray Man is good fun. I've watched the first two half seasons.
I'm watching Bakemonogatari, Touch and Gunparade March these days. Yes, that's the Bakemonogatari that costs $150 for 15 episodes on Blu-ray...

also forgot to mention i started to watch Sword Art Online on a whim and ended up loving it
it's about how 10,000 (or some number like that...) players get trapped in a virtual reality MMORPG
does a really cool job of merging the two realities into one
i'd suggest it

I think Darker than Black was good, but I shouldn't have watched Claymore right after it. The super powers thing spread around so many different characters shouldn't be marathoned. I also thought that Darker than Black was good until the OVA switched gears on it. The character of Suo was too Sailor Moonish when she activated her power. It was silly. And it weakened the second season a lot.
The animes that I had the most fun watching over the past year were Fate/Zero, Fate: Stay Night, and Hunter x Hunter.

I actually dig the City Hunter series, watched most of the TV series and almost done with all of the OVA/movies. I also liked the "alternate universe" spinoff Glass Heart as well, but I think I got blasted for that in another thread, so take what I say about it with a grain of salt.

I watched a few episodes of Code Geass and promptly realized what a turd it was. No wonder it is so popular, most people who watch anime are pretty lame anyway.
Started season 2 of Last Exile. A bit childish compared to the first season (which I adore), but I think it'll be a worthwhile watch overall.

Wolf's Rain is unreal, loved it from beginning to end. Outstanding soundtrack as expected from Yoko K.

First Gundam. The newer US release with the Japanese audio and other fixes. I'm listening to it in English. I already have the original English dub only DVDs. Eh. I got this for Christmas.
After that, Zeta Gundam. The two newer brick packs with 5 discs each and improved subtitles from the dual-disc sets. I already have the big box set with the little figures and horrible subtitles, but one of the discs is totally borked. I hope my new brick sets completely work. I also got this for Christmas.
After that, Char's Counterattack. You know, to close out the series. I've had this movie for years.
I might sneak in 08th MS Team, too. I've also had this for years. Still, I'd rather make sure the new Zeta Gundam discs work.
New anime generally doesn't appeal to me. I think the newest thing I have is the Haruhi movie. Other than that, it's been rereleases like these Gundam sets and the newer Rightstuf Utena sets for me. I have to pick up Maria Watches Over Us season 4, though. I really like that series. Maybe I'll get it with Panty and Stocking on blu-ray. I watched a few episodes of that earlier this year or last year, and it was fun.

Started watching Psycho-Pass since it's from Production IG and I have loved pretty much everything they have done, the show so far is almost like Judge Dredd
