Yeah, that’s a pretty solid series, provided you disregard any attempt to resolve the situation outside of a given episode or story arc. Don’t get me wrong, I like that show a lot, but its been 10 years now, right? Surely they’ve started running out of ideas by now! ---

Not a dig, but I’m a little surprised that **Jayn\_Newell** is watching both _Bleach_ and _Naruto_ but only complains that Bleach is too slow-paced. Personally, having gone from _Naruto_ to _Bleach_, I was grateful for episodes that didn’t have 10 minutes of flashbacks, often repeating scenes from the last two episodes. 😛 In addition to those two, I’m finally getting around to watching _Samurai Champloo_ (and loving it!), and have also started watching _Black Cat_ and _Speed Grapher_ on the recommendation of a friend of mine. I also have a few episodes of _Jigoku Shoujo_ (_Hell Girl_), which looks like it’s going to be a morality tale (or morality tale per episode) in the vein of _Pet Shop of Horrors_. OTOH, I’ve only watched the first episode, so I may be way off on that one… ---

Oh, did you catch “Paranoia Agent” when it was on? Kind of a dark comedy/mystery/psychological thriller. _Terrific_ music and art design. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-anime-are-you-watching-these-days/335379.md?page=1)
