Art and I both have a nasty head cold, so this entry is not going to be very well-phrased

I don't know if you've heard of it, but I started watching this anime Kuragehime (Jellyfish Princess), and it is...amazing. Show about a bunch of a shared apartment with a bunch of female otaku with crazy social anxieties/problems but it is really endearing.

Oh, and have you seen the Moyashimon live action drama?

Both Kuragehime and Moyashimon dorama is on free streaming on Hulu with subtitles!!!

Oooo, I'll have to try Kuragehime! And I forgot that I could watch streaming anime online. Have you seen "Natsume Yuujinchou?" It's a a lovely, bittersweet anime about a boy who inherits a "Book of Friends" and him restoring names to spirits...and I did a terrible job explaining the series, but it's quite good.

I tried watching live action Moyashimon, but it felt really weird seeing real people trying to act out extreme anime motions...I might try watching live action Honey & Clover though. =)

FYI, Ben and I have watched Moyashimon and were quite amused by the giant microbes ^_^ I also watched Kuragehime and have enjoyed it so far. So if you all have any more suggestions for stuff on Hulu, bring it on!

Monster - you should def watch that one. Baccano is also excellent and Aquarion has great music. Claymore is on Hulu if you and Ben want to finish it ^.^ Nana is also great, but I'm not sure if you and Ben would like it? Lots of music + shojo drama (heavier than MB and KareKano ever got) Red Garden is a good horror series. When They Cry is also great horror but you have to be ok with the idea of the characters all being kids (e.g. if you were fine with Battle Royale you should be fine with this).

By Eva remake episode do you mean the first movie? There are supposed to be 3, with the 2nd coming out next year and the 3rd one not yet out in Japan

I have slowly been having Jesse watch Fushigi Yuugi. We're about to start on episodes 17-20. I think once he hits the halfway point it'll be easier. The first half is the most annoying. :P

[marmaladeboy]

You should try Twelve Kingdoms - I think it has a bit more appeal and lasts better - plus the main character isn't half as annoying at the beginning ^^; It's a great 'transported to another era/world' type series.
