| I've been watching Minami-ke (now the 2nd season) and it's pretty entertaining, almost mirrors my sister and I, haha. Maybe why I like it so much. |
now, mind if I ask which of the sisters do you and her resemble
I wouldnt have stigmatized the show so badly, hadnt I seen the prequel to it. Okawari is hardly the worst show I have seen in a long time, just that it simply doesnt do what the original (or the earlier) Minami-ke did it for me. Still <3 Kana-tan though.

| Shuffle - Shuffle is based off of a dating sim, with the typical house of girls all fawning over a single indecisive guy. Included is the variety of peppy, traditional, young, etc. etc. girls. Many of the episodes center around a pseudo-date with one of the characters. Think Sister Princess with a few less characters. Normally I don't mind this stuff as mindless fluff after a long day of work when I don't want to think, but the protagonist in this one seems so lame, giving in to whatever is going on around him and not exhibiting much character. |
Agreed wholeheartedly, didnt care for it much at all, rather found it annoying for the most part... EXCEPT Kaede's arc (eps19-21; yes, it is where the infamous empty-pot-stirring yandere scene comes from) gets two thumbs up from me. I swear, it really isnt just becauze I am a big time kaede fan
(dunno what I was thinking when I was writing this, I am all for kaede)

| Welcome to the NHK - I saw an early part of the series which seems pretty comedic, however I understand that it gets pretty serious and depressing in the end, so I don't know that I'll pursue it. |
The show pretty much depicts how low an individual can go, touches on just about every type of traps and ensuing misery hikikomoris are prone to run into. The depressing end culminates in an epic climax, and ends on a positive note, however. I felt better after sitting through the entire series, so I suggest that you do the same. The show truly is great as they make it out to be - Gonzo gained Tons more respect from me, about the only show from them I thoroughly enjoyed (other than Narue no Sekai, maybe).

| Just finished up Kannazuki no Miko from the now defunct Geneon. Overall a good series worth watching imho. |
There are two types of Kannazuki no Miko junikes out there: diehard Kaishaku fans, and Miya-sama fans (I belong in the latter group btw
) To say the show is a bit on the awkward side is a huge understatement; I consider it one of those shows that you dont feel comfortable recommending to people that dont get too excited by yuri romance. I loved it though.

| I'm watching Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei following a recomendation made a few posts ago and I'd like to recommend: "Yakite Japan!" which is a hilarious anime about bread-making. Very recomended! |
I personally like the show and try to follow it the best I can, but the amount of parodies thrown in there is just waaaay too overwhelming. Before each eps, I do my hw and read up on some parody clues before I get started. Even then, its not something I would watch at dinner time, as I would need undevided attantion to be able to absorb everything they are dishing out. Some object to this type of "only the l337 cream of the crop can follow us" type of in-jokes/parodies, while others seem to get ticked off by a few political references. Whatever, I say just enjoy the damn show.
