Here's what i'm currently watching and my thoughts:
Naruto: Seriously, nothing but filler as long as i can remember, but i got hooked and must continue watching. Very minor character building during this arc which is supposed to continue for 18 more weeks, sigh.... I hope they at least improve the filler to give people more than 1 spell they use every time they fight, e.g. rasengan, chidori, etc. I remember the 4th using several spells in his fight with orochimaru and it was very interesting! The same spells over and over for 160+ episodes is getting old. I'm losing interest but still manage to watch it before the next week's episode comes out. At least they are developing Sakura so she won't be quite as completely useless as she has been this entire show.
Bleach: Who's not watching this?!?!? WOW is all i can say. If action anime is what you want this is exactly what you've been looking for. It took a bit to get me hooked on Bleach but i'm glad i stuck with it as right now its better than naruto has ever been. If you haven't watched this I highly recommend it.
Black Cat: An experiment on my part. So far up to ep 7 has been released afaik and it's a bit disjointed, but i'm willing to give it some time as the main character is of the type i usually identify with very easily. hopefully my investment will pay off later on as Bleach has for me.
Blood+: A very promising new anime based on a flop movie in Japan. I've watched up to 7 and 8 is coming out very soon if not already. there is so much i want to know about Saya and how she is connected to these creatures. It has a bit of a 'buffy the vampire slayer' feel to it but done in a way thats not cheap american thriller theater. I love the dr jekyl and mr hide aspect of saya right now and can't wait for her to be able to fully control her power. i can understand her brother's position this early but the time they spend pointing out his feelings is a bit much and i'm ready for them to get past it. I'm not sure how i feel about the anti american military sentiment plastered throughout this anime, but for now i'm ignoring it as much as i can. I'm hooked already which is pretty amazing as even naruto took me 15-20 eps before i couldn't wait for the next episode. I can't recommend this yet, but I like it so far.
thats all i'm watching for now, if anyone has some suggestions i'm all for trying new things.
