Ha! I'm just gonna post this animation on here... and for any of you are fans who watch this show... I just watched SYM-BIONIC TITAN yesterday on CARTOON NETWORK, and a surprising thing happened... well, TWO surprising things happened:

The most unlikely characters, Newton, the cyborg brainiac of the heroic Teenage Titan team, and Kimmie, the snobbish cheerleader, seem to become an item when Kimmie, who needed Newton to help her in her class assignment, decided to give Newton, who is not human, a goodnight kiss. The results were electrifying, literally. As she "floated" her way home, she clicks on her ipod, and with a kick off twinkling upbeat, a rather music video-like scene begins. While she glided and bounced home, the juggernaut Titan and the invading space monster fights some distance away in the background, sparking the night sky. The second surprise? For you old school '80's nostalgia buffs, the song she punched in was SPACE AGE LOVE SONG, by A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS. As an '80's culture and music lover, I freaked when I heard that song kicked in. OMIGOSH... GAG ME WITH A SPOON! THAT'S TOTALLY GRODY! GRODY TO DA MAX! TOTALLY! FER SURE! FER SURE! 8) :lol: I went on YouTube to look up the song, and it had whole bundle of comments, and a sure regained spike in the song and the group's popularity, that's RAD AN' FAD! 8)

SYM-BIONIC TITAN and A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS ROCKS! :D

Heh... for those of you who haven't seen that part I mentioned in Epi#10 of SYM-BIONIC TITAN, here it is, just got itself posted up on Youtube, and with a huge following...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plitqKiiqAU

HOOLY HOO! Yezz! Giant sym-bionic robot locked in a galactic battle with an overgrown villainous space monster... Ultra man vs. Godzilla style, with a cool-kickin' New Wave tune thumpin' in the background, 'ala music video! Woo! The time continuum of the 80's and the present day, have finally merged! :D

GO TITAN, AND LONG LIVE THE 80's! 8)

I love the 80's! :D :D :D

As winter break wraps up, here's a list of the stuff I saw.

Currently re-watching:
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
This would be like my third viewing. Gets better every time and I can't help but compare this to the first series.
Cowboy Bebop
I only watch Adult Swim on Saturdays; so glad they brought it back.
Axis Power Hetalia
It's hilarious and silly, and I'm working myself up to watch it in English.
Detective Conan
Mainly because of the movies and specials.
Lupin III
Mainly just the movies.
Highschool of the Dead
After watching Walking Dead I've got zombies on the mind.

Just finished watching:
Kuroshitsuji (both seasons)
I'd only recommend the second season if you enjoy a bit of fan service or cannot get enough of the series. I'd go into more detail but . . . spoilers. I hope that the anime does a complete retelling later on when the manga is nearly finished, like Fullmetal Alchemist.

Currently for Winter 2011, I went with watching only Star Driver and Hourou Musuko. I was watching Starry Sky and Kimi ni Todoke S2 as well but I decided to put a hold on it for now until both series end. Too much anime haha ;; For Spring, I plan on adding Deadman Wonderland, and Hatsukoi Sekaiichi to my watch list. I have to see since well I have school and other priorities first, orz.

The news thing I'm watching right now is called Nabari. In this anime you'll be like AW~ and then feel like you want to cry at the ending. In which I did.

I just finished watching Gundam 0083 Star Dust Memory. I have to admit I got a little confused near the end with so many back stabbing moves and I'm not entirely sure what operation Star Dust was and what it was supposed to do.

Finally watching Desert Punk and wow I love it. It's funny. I tried watching High School of the dead but I gotta reevaluate that one. It's interesting and honestly makes me want to play Left 4 Dead.

I put a hold on Dessert Punk since it got way too distracting watching that and trying to study. So on this lovely break I'm getting trying to get through 07 Ghost. We'll see how far this one goes.

I was thinking of getting started on Fairy Tail but college homework keeps stopping me.

I just turned around and saw that my mother was watching Aquarion on her laptop. I think she's watched more anime in the past two weeks than I did in the past three months. She's only watching the beginning part of series because she's bored and is constantly confused by what's going on. I think this is the fifth series I've seen her watch.

Not really an anime in any way (but then again, neither are a few other titles that were given), but since my list of shows is sparse at best, I'm going to add the current "My Little Ponies: Friendship is Magic" series to the list (alongside Digimon Xros Wars). All things considered, this show is actually GOOD.

I'm following Ao no Exorcist, Bleach, FMA:Brotherhood, Starry*Sky, and Durarara!!.

I also heard Durarara!! Is going to be broadcast in English? I can't wait to see. (after watching the Japanese version, I'd like to see what the Englih is like).

For those following Bleach, what do you guys think about the Gotei 13 filler?

I saw the ad last week while I was watching Bleach. (although I saw the whole thing up until 327, the current one, my curious mind wants to see the voices in English). I was spazzing out because I was waiting for Durarara!! for ages. At least I have an excuse for staying up late besides Bleach, FMA, and FLCL.

Watched a bit of Star Driver, kind of tapered off somewhere in the middle but will probably finish it for the sake of finishing it. XD

Finished watching AnoHana (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai) - a mouthful, I know, but one of the most brilliant series I've seen. Definitely my favorite to come out this year so far.

Currently watching:
Tiger and Bunny - action/comedy/fluff
Mawaru Penguin Drum - this has bizarre written all over it, but after the watching the first 2 episodes, I'm still interested. XD
One Piece - The anime is oh-so-close to the time skip at this point. I'm going insane~!

Eagerly awaiting:
The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra @_@

Nichijou Ever since I found out that Hyadain did the opening themes for both seasons, I've been watching them. Jeez, it's like Azumanga Daioh met Lucky Star and became twice as random and weird. Loved every second.

I'm waiting until I finish reading Deadman Wonderland to watch the anime.

I would watch Ao no Exorcist, but I think I'm losing interest in the manga.

I've been typically reading manga recently.

Update on my anime status~

I finished Starry Sky and Durarara!! (both are good. CHECK THEM OUT.) I was shocked to hear the truth about Mikado and Masaomi. After finishing Starry Sky, I have learned that I don't like Iku.

I am losing interest in Ao no Exorcist even though I don't want to. The manga is VERY different than the anime. In the manga, I don't see some of the scenes I saw in the anime. o.o

Trying to finish up Naruto, not Naruto Shippuden. (Yes, I am one of the very few people who have not seen the whole of Naruto yet.)

I'm becoming frustrated with Bleach. There's so many fillers, it's driving me nuts. I don't see the whole point of the Kasumioji fillers that took over for 204/205 and the Karakurizer filler for 213/214. Those were just way too pointless. (But not as much as the Bount arcs. Those were terrible.) But on the bright side, tomorrow (7/30) will be the BEGINNING of the epic fighting. (And yes, I've seen ALL of Bleach up to 332. I know what's going to happen.)

I'm also trying to finish up Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Lucky Star.

That's my anime update~ Sorry for the ramble.

The series I have gotten through this summer are: (not in order of watching)
Sekirei, Black Butler, Burst Angel, Baldr Force Exe (Yeah I know this one barely counts), Elemental Geleade, Strike Witches, Darker Than Black, Line Barrels of Iron, Aqurion, Soul Eater, Shuffle, Chrome Shelled Regios and Kiddy Grade.

For the most part I've enjoyed all of them. They all have their own things that make them good and not so good. Yeah it's been a busy summer watching a wide variety of animes. Umm any comments to make about them.

Oh yes Strike Witches for the first couple of episodes made me rage for a bit. I couldn't get over the concept of the show. The idea of people strapping plane engines to their legs and when they use magic sprout ears and tails. And various other things that made me rage for a bit. I got over it and found the story enjoyable enough.

Shuffle has a interesting way of hooking you in with the love comedy bits and then takes a very dark turn. I rather liked that since I don't see that often in this genre or at least not done like this. But to be fair the few I've seen hasn't gone this way. Either way it was nice to see something different.

Soul Eater and Black Butler. I feel a bit sad I never looked into it earlier. Both of these series I really liked and I'm slightly disapointed in myself for not looking into those two earlier.

Everything else I'll just say they were good. All very enjoyable in their own ways.

Currently watching Air Gear and Pumpkin Scissors. Really enjoying Pumpkin Scissors right now.

Kurogane no Linebarrels, that show really pissed me off. Quite honestly, I thought that the show was just trolling me the entire time. I can't say that I wouldn't turn into a power hungry jerkface if one day I suddenly received a giant robot, but Linebarrels really emphasized it. By doing this, I am not able to make a connection to the protagonist anymore. Also, the female lead makes an honest effort to try and help our hero, but when he finally learns the errors of his actions, she seems to go out of her way to not help him. I don't know, maybe I'm being a bit judgmental here. I couldn't even make it through half of the series; the series just filled me with so much rage. I haven't hated on something so much since Gundam Wing. Sorry if you are a GW fan, but seriously, it's one of the worst Gundam series ever. I like to compare Gundam Wing to Star Wars Ep. I. If you only saw that particular series/movie out of the franchise, then you might think that it's good, but it's not. Sorry, just my personal feelings toward the show.

I liked Strike Witches. It was a really fun, fanservice-ish show. I never gave the series any serious thought, because once you throw magic into the equation, my brain doesn't need a scientific answer to how things work anymore. It was really interesting how each witch was based off of a real life person. Although, I really only know that Shirly/Charlotte Yeager was supposed to be Charles "Chuck" Yeager. My favorite was always Major Sakamoto though.

TL:DR I hate Kurogane no Linebarrels and Gundam Wing, but love Strike Witches. And Shuffle was awesome too.

I know exactly what you mean about Linebarrles. The first part I could not stand him and just want to beat some sense into him. I didn't like him then and I didn't really care him through out the rest of the series even though his character did have development. Pretty much going from a power hungry, incredbily misguided sense of justice to a less power hungry better sense of justice. Yeah not a whole lot now that I think about it. The only thing that really kept me watching was the other funny and ridicullous characters. They were far more interesting then the main two and very funny to watch. And for gundam wing it's cool. As I look back it's not as grand as I remembered it as kid. There are far better ones that I've come to like over the years. One of them being the 8th MS Team.

Ha ha ha yeah. For strike witches if you don't try and comprehend how everything works and why it works that way it is a fun series. Unlike me trying to get a grasp on it all. It's just the first time I watched it I had no idea what I was getting into and didn't expect it. I never heard of it and just found it on hulu. Read the description and it sounded really interesting and then pow. But yes I agree with you it's a fun series. I didn't know they were based of real people. Huh that's really interesting.
