Been playing a lot of Phoenix Wright: Justice for All these days. An excelllent throwback to point and click games of yore on the PC, plus making a VERY boring occupation look intense and actually has gameplay, with a little weirdness and a bit of supernaturalism? Sounds like a winning combination to me.
Been also getting into the Touhou series w/ both Phantasmagoria of Flower View and The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil - both highly enjoyable, especially the former. I suppose because it really reminds me of Twinkle Star Sprites on the Neo-Geo, but a lot faster, flashier, a better soundtrack and "Dead Parrott" instead of "Lose". Oh, and the Touhou characters, of course.
Anime-wise I've only picked up Busou Renkin and Rozen Maiden. Hype of the latter = totally unecessary. While in itself it's not a bad show, I seriously don't see anything truly that makes it "OMG, THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER!". But I suppose it's the case of different strokes for different folks. Renkin has a lot of generic moments, but it's characters are nice - especially Tokiko/Scar-tan.
