I am not too fond of Shinsen's subbing ... I guess that's why I haven't watched the series completely as of yet. I am waiting for the completion of Black-Sheep’s releases.

there are people who likes green island and some who not but i loved it
but green island is the second ova i mean the original series plus the first ova
only few people are disappointed by HxH and i think that is normal its nearly impossible to find something all the people will agree on
but the next arc after green island is awesome
the last blog that reviewed HxH give it 98 out of 100 i think that was the highest rating on the site

HxH is not popular if you compared it to naruto bleach and one piece
but it should because its one of the best anime ever and that is not only my opinion it s nearly the opinion of most people who watched it but really few people are disappointed
you are the FIRST person i see who is disappointed with HxH

It's a series best suited to mini-marathons of 5 or 6 episodes over a short amount of time. I've been impressed with it though, it has "dignity" and is very intriguing and the opening theme is positively slick, not mention having a train named the "Flying Pussy-foot".

Ha, irony. The more I look at it, the more I want to watch it, the more the art appeals to me. Maybe it's a mood thing, and right now I'm in need of something "too colourful, too zany and too melodramatic." In comparison to Darker Than Black and Gurren Lagann and shows of that nature, the fall season feels dead to me. For one thing, as Ivy pointed out, there's a lot of eroge-anime. T_T I mean, Gundam 00 started off pretty well, nothing striking, but it's only the first episode. Dragonaut is a different story. The breasts were just too much. Yoko, for a lack of better words, was tasteful fanservice. Dragonaut is just unnecessary, though, it really is more than just hot chicks. Rental Magica isn't exactly what I expected, but I'm willing to see it through. And Night Wizard, for what it's worth was alright. I'm waiting on Ghost Hound and Juushin Enbu. And, it's random, but do watch Baccano! I've been following it for a while, though nothing triggered me to write a post about it. It's a really short and sweet distraction.

And Hero Tales; isn't that from the woman behind FMA? Either way, there are a at least 5 or 6 shows I'll definitely try out, but there does seem to be a general lack of solid story telling that isn't pandering to one fan-group or another. @Protodude & Necromancer: I read a comment over at Star Crossed that basically said the same thing about the last episode of Mononoke i.e. it's a clip show and incredibly disappointing. We'll see, but if that's true, it would be an utter anti-climax for such a beautiful series, but then, it's fairly episodic anyway so not exactly the end of the world. @kauldron26: With Dragonaut, from what I've read about it, it doesn't seem to be just "hot chicks"; more like ridiculously large breasts that look so out of place and unnatural. It's the kind of fan-service that completely renders any given scene a complete laughing stock. I mean, where is the dignity? Don't get me wrong, there is nothing bad about, say, Yoko from Gurren Lagann, but her fashion sense suits the over-the-top atmosphere, but that doesn't really seem the case with Dragonaut, which seems a lot more realistic and contemporary? @Ivy: I must admit, CLANNAD isn’t top of my list, but Ghost Hound looks like it could be good.

Don't know how true this is though. As for what's new this season, I'm not terribly impressed so far. Clannad was decent, I'll probably follow it (how long is it? 24 episodes?) but the generic moe-bishojo character designs really bug me. I could barely sit through the first episode of Gundam 00, which is a shame since the fact it was directed by Seiji Mizushima got me really excited. I'll probably give it a few more episodes, but if it doesn't pick up I'll definitely drop it. (Again, how long? 50? 26?) The only other shows I plan on checking out are ef - a tale of memories, Genshiken 2, and Ghost Hound. So, apparently they ran out of budget for the last episode and it’s just mostly recap.
