Lagann is quite awesome to say the least. Probably the series that contains the most ridicuosly epic and cheesy scenes ever that are full of hot blooded action. Gainax when it's the best. Episode 11 was awesome indeed.
Other anime I'm watching though.
Claymore
As some have pointed out before, can be seen as a female sort of Berserk. Nothing out of the ordinary, but I like it. OP/ED is good, animation is ok. Your average shounen-fighting series. On ep10 so far.
Romeo x Juliet
Romeo & Julia, the anime version. Very good so far, great animation quality. Interesting adaption of the original plot, I wonder how this one will turn out towards the end. Soundtrack is good.
Bleach / Naruto
The weekly torture. I have no idea why I'm watching them, mainly because I'm bored, and if I'm lycky, an episode with a bit of amusement. Manga is better in both of their cases.
Seirei no Moribito
Beautiful animation quality/story/music/everything. The battle scenes in the beginning are unimaginably awesome imo. So far this seems to be one of the best SERIOUS (i.e. not your weekly shounen-crap) animes this year. Based on novel(s) of the same name as far as I know, don't quote me on that though. I recommend it greatly.
Darker than BLACK
Made by BONES. Interesting series. About "Contractors". People with special powers that after using their powers have to perform various rituals to keep using them. Don't want to go into it anymore cause then I'd be spoiling it. Currently 10 eps out, haven't watched the last one yet.
The Skullman
A mysterious man in a black suit with a skull mask who is portrayed as the villian currently in the series. A photographer is gathering clues and investigating said villain. Interesting, well made to my standards. Plot seems to be ok so far, evolved to be something more sinister recently than what you expected at first. 7 eps out.
Tales of Symphonia
OVA of the original gamecube game. Crisp animation, seems to be following the game plot exactly so far. Only 1 episode released, 4 planned.
Dennou Coil
Interesting but wierd series to put it shortly. Odd figures/characters. Great OP/ED imo. The cities in the series have advanced electrical networks and it seems like more or less everyone are using a special pair of glasses that enables them to see otherwise invisible objects like virtual pets and gadgets which are connected to this massive network. A group of children run the "Cyberpet Recovery Agency" which investigates dissapearances of cyberpets and other odd events. Can't really put it into words that well, but it's an interesting series so far. 4 episodes translated, 5 out.
El Cazador
An adventure series from the creators of MADLAX and Noir. About 2 girls who crosses each others paths and end up on a journey together. Seems like a slow series, I'm mainly watching it out of curiosity to see how it evolves. Nothing groundbreaking or amazing, average anime. 10 subbed eps, 11 out total.
Sisters of Wellber
Pretty much the same as above (not from the same creator). 2 girls end up on a journey together to prevent a war to break out against their country. Likeable characters for some perhaps, contains an annoying fairy that adds "-beru" after each spoken line aswell as a talking tank
Bokura no
15 individuals discover a cave and end up signing a contract to what they belive was a "game", where they control a giant robot and fight off invading robots. However it ends up to be something far more serious. The series covers the lives and history of these individuals, how they cope with what has happened and what is happening to them as they fight their enemies. One of the most awesome OP's of this season imo.
Then there's also Death Note, but most of you are probably familliar with the manga since before and the series have been going on for a while. Great show. Then we have Code Geass, great action and plot twisting that'll make you go "I totally didn't expect that". Mecha and CLAMP combined? Does it go well? Yes, actually it does. This series left me shivering with excitement after every other episode. Damn cliffhanger situation right now as the last two episodes are going to be released sometime during summer. Can't wait for the second season to be aired, I belive one should be in production as it was announced some time ago if I remember correctly. Another good tip for a mecha series is Reideen. Best CG I've seen in a while in recent mecha series, I guess they focus a bit too much on showing of the fancy summoning sequence of Reideen though
Yes, I guess I watch too much anime sometimes. It's a good season for once, hehe.
