Necromancer - I was thinking about how GONZO intend to end Bokurano too. With the disappointing ways in which they concluded both Hellsing and Gantz, I am a little concerned it'll go wrong. That said, Morita from Studio Ghibli is directing - safe hands, in theory! :) And I'm behind on Ayakashi Ayashi too. I actually downloaded the first five episodes this past weekend, mainly because I can't honestly believe Studio BONES created something bad. Then again, I must be watching Eureka 7 first! Hige - You could do a lot worse than NHK, and marathoning your way through it over a couple of weeks could well be the best way to watch it. I tend do mini-marathons with Red Garden (3 to 4 episodes at a time) and I'm throughly enjoying it (even though the screaming and angst is extreme). As for Shonen Jump anime - D.Gray-man, Naruto and One Piece, for me it's almost like they exist on a different level to the other "normal" anime. I enjoy them in-spite of their faults, their generic and predictable formula. Naruto Shuupuden has a great soundtrack too. The truth is that I'm just a helpless fanboy when it comes to that stuff.

Red Garden has literally been the only thing I've bothered with for months, too. Naruto Shuupuden is starting do the traditional Naruto anime thing of feeling totally redundant if you've followed the manga, but it's a pleasant diversion. Genuinely hope the next season of anime has some decent selections. I've taken to downloading the entire NHK run out of desperation. :( You’ve sold me on Bokurano, and I agree that BONES generally do the good shit.

I hope GONZO do a good job on it and I'm interested in how it will end since the manga hasn't ended yet. I'm looking forward to the 2 new BONES productions though I've still not caught up with their last one, Ayakashi Ayashi.

Darker than Black on the other hand sounds like the title for a Spinal Tap album but the trailer has left me cautiously optimistic - it is indeed very Wolf's Rain-esque, which is no bad thing. There's also Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimeters per Second to look forward to, which ought to be spectacular. I'm actually looking forward to the DVD releases more this year - Mushishi and Solid State Society are high on my shopping list and Origin: Spirits of the Past could be good eye candy.
