[Phenom]

Anime
--------
All this is from Adult Swim, or some other channel.

Blood+ - At first I didn't really care about this series because it was really slow. And Saya, Kai, and Riku were some annoying characters. They made it hard to get into the series.

Spoiler: show

But since Riku's death, and Saya's return, and the new get-up

It's gotten more interesting, and Saya and Kai is more tolerable. Kai's still getting on my nerves with this "I will protect you" crap. It's really annoying when you here it over and over. (Call it a peeve )

Death Note - Man, with no action whatsoever, this series is really good. But my main concern, and I think I've said it in the Death Note thread itself, is that I find it kind of hard to see this continuing the way it is without getting old. Finding creative ways to kill people without getting caught, Light and L cleverly outsmart each other, and repeat. Sorry for not being so optimistic about this series, but like I said, it's kind of hard to see this going anywhere. I will stick with this series though because I like how Light and L try to outsmart each other. The animation is gorgeous. And Light's and L's theme music is pretty good. I'm going to stay away from the manga even though I read the 1st 5 chapters. (I think) I don't want to lose that surprise factor.

Samurai 7 - This is something I've been needing for a long time because of the disappointment that I've been getting from the Bleach anime. I like fast paced action, and delivers that action that I so desire lol. (Bleach can learn something from this lol.) My only problem with this is Kikuchiyo and Rikichi. Kikuchiyo is annoying and stupid (A mechanical version of Kuwabara.) And Rikichi takes too long to grow a backbone. Or rather, he knows how to kill a good moment with his constant complaining.

Manga
--------
Black Lagoon - Man.. Man... MAN!!! I think I might kick Bleach and Naruto to the side and stick with mangas like this. And I've only read 3 chapters. So far, I've seen some gunfights, but I think I'd rather see those gunfights in motion. It just seems a little phony compared to sword fighting. But that's just a minor thing though. This is my first time reading a manga that involves guns.

Anytime the first page starts off with someone getting a punch in the face, you know it's gonna be good.
