I have two memes to do - I'll do those tomorrow.
So, I've been watching various things. I guess this is my watching phase. Time for my reading phase, now. For now, I'm keeping this brief.

The scene wherein Sunohara confronts Tomoya about Fuuko was one of my favorite non-Nagisa scenes. (I sort of adore Nagisa. Without the sort of.)
;_; This show is very good at what it does, and very good at making the audience emotionally invested in the cast. It's just plain fun and cute and sweet and adorable. I'm pretty sure this is my first show of the moe genre, but, well, it succeeded in sucking me in. (Considering my reaction to that one clip of Kanon, this may be a trend with me.)
Master Huey is really cool.
I can't say anything coherent about Baccano! tonight. My fondness of Maiza has been upgraded to thinking he was interesting to absolutely adoring him. Nicholas, however, I have given up on.
:P I think you need special glasses for that bizarre visual impairment. Maybe with an Anti-Yukui Fukari prescription.
I feel like renting out a billboard telling people to watch Gunbuster and Diebuster. Except that billboards are illegal here. Maybe I just need to gush profusely to everyone I know.
The sad thing about Lie to Me is that Hulu caps the episodes at 5, so right now they have only 4-8. This isn't a huge problem, as, as long as one doesn't start with 7 or 8, and eventually sees the first two episodes, one should be fine. There are character arcs, but they are subtle, and if necessary, the show can be semi-episodic.
Lie to Me is the third show that I like without reservation, by the way. The lead, Cal Lightman isn't a particularly nice guy, but he's not supposed to be - I kind of love that about the show. He has a certain moral code and he does anything to fulfill it, as he views the ends as always justifying the means. He's also a constant liar, which is ironic. His partner is a cheerful, calm psychiatrist, and these two are the equal leaders of the group. There's a great deal of respect between them. Actually, Dr. Foster(the female psychiatrist) is pretty much my favorite character and part of the show. She's also the only person entirely nonplussed by Lightman.

Boy do I feel manipulated.
The scene where Sunohara talks to Fuuko and then doesn't remember who he's talking to is also really. . .sad. And the episode where Tomoya and Nagisa and Fuuko have a party and then they wake up and Tomoya and Nagisa have forgotten. . . . ;__; And Nagisa's mom, too. But then the show also has lots of fluffy and funny moments, like Tomoya drilling Nagisa on "why do you want to start the drama club," or the "Youhei Sunohara Wants To Join Your Party" thing, or Tomoyo beating up people in a bear suit, or Kotomi's deadly weapon (or her acting).
I feel sad that every time it comes up it gets accompanied by Fan Rage of all stripes, because it's really just. . .sweet and unassuming.
I was wondering how your opinion of Nicholas would be after volume two. ^^; You've got bad luck with that name. . .Nicholas and Nicola. Poor you.
Oddly, what I'm looking forward to the most is. . .more Rail Tracer. ^^; I'm also curious to know the connection between Chane and Huey, as they have the same last name. And I want to know how Firo became immortal. And a bunch of other things as well. What a fun show.
Hm, well maybe I'll rent Lie to Me, then, as I like to see things in order. ^^; Time for a long wait.
