Where the hell have I been?

Let’s do a quickie update on anime I’ve been watching/catching up on:
One Piece episodes 144-230
Been meaning to catch up on One Piece for sometime, and while I’m still a good 150+ episodes away, I don’t think I ever want to catch up, as it would mean having to wait a week for new episodes. This show is way too good. It’s a damn shame it got botched by 4Kids since it does everything right that Naruto and Bleach have done wrong.  Looking forward to the Water 7 arc.
Nodame Cantabile Paris Chapter
Pretty much follows the same formula as the first season did: wacky hijinx, GYABO, uncertainty with the orchestra before they pull off some god-like performance. I much preferred Honey and Clover over this, but it’s entertaining nonetheless. Still, I hope the third season offers more. If not, I can always at least savor the music.
Gundam 00 Season 2 (up to episode 18)
LOL. Where the fuck did Tieria get that boob job? Also, Marina Ismail apparently can do more than just sit – she can also sing too!
I really miss the UC OVAs, specifically 08th MS Team and War in the Pocket.
Toradora! (up to episode 18)
Tales of the Abyss (1-3)
Playing catch up on this. Definitely got me interested in the game.  Anybody mind explaining to me how the fuck Guy managed to show up out of nowhere to save the day in episode 3?
Michiko & Hatchin (up to episode 15)
I think I liked this more when it was called Samurai Champloo. And I liked that more when it was called Cowboy Bebop.
Haruhi-chan, Nyoron Churuya-san
I wish I had seen the “NICE BOAT” that Kadokawa had put up earlier. Otherwise, I was underwhelmed with the former and although the latter was cute, both felt a bit soulless to me.
Still queued up: Tytania, Shikabanehime Aka, Soul Eater, Casshern (o korosu) SINS, Detroit Metal City, Clannad After Story. Man, how the fuck do these other bloggers manage to keep up the entire season?
Michiko and Hatchin keeps betraying my expectations, but I still like it. The content of the stories is pretty inconsistent (not unlike Bebop) and the direction could use some work, but in the end it’s a pretty good story about two girls just trying to get along.
What really pushes it up into 9/10 territory are the production values and the well-realized setting.
also i take issue with your little gif
I second that. Long live the Queen of Tsun!
Also, I’m having a hell of a time going through the Shana series having already watched ZnT and Toradora. Hell in the not enjoying it as much as I thought I would sense.
