You have a schedule already? I’ve only seen preliminary lists.

Nice list.

You should come to my presentation on family-friendly anime at LTUE. Saturday at noon.

There’s less of Inuyasha than Bleach, which is also lots of fun (but has annoying filler arcs, and I’m not sure it’s the type of thing you’re most interested in).

Another excellent one we watched recently is Kamichu!

Also, I realized while watching Tactics disc 1 that you hadn’t gotten too far into it when I saw an ep at your house. It had to have only been the 2nd or 3rd episode.

I haven’t seen Kaze no Stigma, though I’ve seen it around. Haven’t looked at what the story is. Haven’t tried 07 Ghost, either. I’ve been meaning to watch Brotherhood (it’s on Hulu, too) but haven’t had the time yet. I might have watched the first episode, but I think it was too close to watching the original and I wanted to have some space.

I haven’t watched *any* Inuyasha, and there’s just so much of it. One of these days I’ll start from the beginning.

And all you need to do for the Mushishi is come back! (I know. Easier said than done. But you should see Teri’s 57-inch TV! Which is where most movie nights are recently.)

Oooh! Good ones! I loved Tactics and Manatei Loki Ragnarok (I still say Loki Ragnarok is Norse Mythology crack). The new season of Darker than Black just wrapped up and I’m a few episodes behind. So far, it’s been AMAZING. DNAngel is fun, but from what I’ve heard the manga is better. And I still haven’t watched the most recent season of Kyou Kara Maou!–I’ll get to it. Eventually.

I think I need to pick up Ghost Hunt and continue with 07 Ghost (I like the manga, but only watched the first few episodes of the anime before life got too busy). Let me see if I can come up with some other recommendations. Have you watched Kaze no Stigma? Or the new Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episodes? (Funimation has subbed episodes up on their website.) The new episodes of Inuyasha Kankei Hen (The Final Act) has been VERY good as well. (Available on the VIZ Shonen Sunday website.) Baccano! has also been very fun–it’s told with a large cast of very fun characters and a plot that follows a non-linear format. I’m also finishing Gankutsuou and I highly recommend it.

I am missing my Mushishi box set, though. Among other things.

I’ll be at LTUE, so I’ll try, but it just depends on my schedule for other things, too.

Mushi-shi is one you should check it out. Wonderfully drawn, fascinating stories. (We haven’t gotten to the end yet.) It’s about the phenomenon behind the folkloric things. A few of the episodes have heavier themes; I would generally rate it PG-13.

Another one I’d recommend is Figure 17. It seems like a pseudo-mech type of story at first, but it’s really a great character study. Also has some heavier themes.

You should come to the anime panel at LTU&E. We’ll be discussing all sorts of good stuff.

Thought I was an anime junkie but I haven’t seen most of these. THe only one I saw is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (both seasons!) Thanks for the list, I’ll check them out. Always on the look out for new stuff.
