katikatBakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto - subbed by Shinsen. It's a great anime set in Japan in the 19th century and it features a theater group and a bodyguard of an influential noble who try to exact revenge. Some supernatural stuff there, but especially Inoue Kazuhiko as the mysterious screenplay writer *sparkles*
Code Geass - subbed by gg. This anime is set in the future in which Great Britain conquered Japan. The main hero is half British, half Japanese, a member of the British royal family and he is trying to free Japan. Lelouch is rather arrogant character (reminds me of Light from Death Note) but even though I don't like him, I will keep watching it. If nothing else, the animation style reminds me of how CLAMP's artwork used to look like.
Happiness - subbed by Shiawase. School and magic. It's about a girl that met a boy when she was little. The boy was a great magician even back then. And since that moment, she wants to meet that boy again. And now, she meets a boy that looks like the one from her past - but this boy has no magic at all. Is it him? This anime is nothing special but there is the cross dressing boy Jun who really looks like a girl and I really like his sunny personality :)
La Corda d'Oro - subbed by SMS. Another variation of lotsa boys, one girl. It's set in a school where a half of the students concentrates mostly on studying music. The main heroine who attends the "normal" part of the school meets a fairy who gives her an enchanted violin. We will see where this leads :)
Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo! - subbed by IZ+MM (there is only one episode out so far, unfortunately). Another school and magic stuff. The main heroine here is also searching for a boy... And when she finds him, he is smaller and younger than her and completely overwhelmed by her forceful personality. But no matter what the others think of this odd pair, she sticks up for him. It's over the top funny stuff but I like this odd couple :)
Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi - subbed by Lunar. Excellent stuff. Set in old Japan again. It's about a man (an adult of almost 40 years!!!) who is running away from another world that seems to keep chasing after him. When he was a kid, he caught a glimpse of this world but contrary to other people who saw it, he managed to free himself and not fall under its spell. This is supernatural stuff, fights, monsters etc. sorta anime. Rather well done. And another cross dresser there!
I still haven't watched Bartender, Red Garden, Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn or S-Strain, so we will see about that. So far, I've dropped only two anime I found unwatchable: Lovely Idol (sorta like American Idol in an anime form - and with idiotic songs too) and Super Robot Wars Original Generation (bad animation, stupid story, too much like Sousei no Aquarion, bleh :/).
But there is one very old anime I hope aarinfantasy will keep subbing - Patalliro from the 80s. If there is one gay anime, it's this! The animation reminds me a lot of how the manga From Eroica with Love was drawn. Over the top, but very good. And the ED animation suggests more than hints in the m/m department, really XD
