And Xam'd is awesome, Tenk! Glad you like it. It's not perfect - I think the entire background conflict is left way too vague - but it's a really solid series that I enjoyed a hell of a lot (and those production values!), so that I have recommended to people along the way as well. I really didn't watch anything in January though. I started Madoka (again) but I still just do not get why people like this series or think it's anywhere near amazing. Shit, when I saw the ads for it I thought the series was a joke it seemed populated with so many clichés. Now I've struggled through half the series I realise this is actually what it is! Guh, I don't get it. I guess that episode three twist hooked some people but it's nothing I didn't see in Nadesico about ten years ago. And, okay, maybe being a magical girl is all sinister this time around but when the execution is so banal I struggle to care. It would be noticeably better though if the characters didn't all have those pudding bowl heads and SHAFT actually had a budget to spend. I don't know what is airing this season but there wasn't anything really from the last season that hooked me in (though I do need to try the Last Exile sequel). Will have to do some research (or download a tonne of first episodes) and see what's new and decent.
I don't know if anybody else has been watching Guilty Crown

Â This was about 2 years ago, and to this day I still cannot bring myself to finish watching it, much as I want to.
