Alice in wonderland basically lol I don't know too much about it. But I know there is Alice, Oz, the chesire cat and a few other characters. Two people turn.into bunnies. The white and a black. Idk. All I know is her head is always buried in those books. And she screamed the house down when she saw epiaodes on that site lol.

So thanks to Netflix got Deadman Wonderland up and out of the way. Sincerely wish it was popular enough in Japan to have had continued.


Magi. Loved all the genie related transformations.


And I was quite taken back with how dark Madoka Magica is. The cover of the DVD reads like a really predictable shoujo magical girl anime but it derails right off the predictable track at episode 3. So worth watching!


Started this sexy thing. Diabolik Lover. Vamps and a girl maybe being a tramp for them.

It looks way better than the American animations. I don't understand why they have not been translated and put on the Monster High youtube channel.

RWBY was thrown up on Netflix recently. It's impressive for what it is but it's kinda predictable at the same time. Unfortunately the low budget technology distracted me a lot. And how are you not gonna know Penny is a robot when she says stuff like "I'm combat ready?" Somethings in this series were cliched and you have seen in animes before. It's still worth a watch but I don't really understand the fandom unless you are a teen or tween that really likes Hot Topic. I also did not like the lack of diversity of characters, everyone was lily white in season one, then they kinda introduced 3rd party characters in season two. But these dark skinned characters were visible toward the end of the season. I do have one good thing to say, the fight choreography was really good and the complexity of the plot did move at a good pace.

When I did have cable, it came on adult swim and the first epi did not hook me. Seemed like a rip of .Hack.

Off the top of my head here are some of my favorites Full Metal Alchemist Trigun Trinity Blood High School of the Dead Death Note Hellsing Soul Eater Outlaw Star Afro Samurai Blood+ Witchblade Darker Than Black Black Butler Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne
Loved Blood+ and I love Black Butler. I've started watching Full Metal Alchemist and have added Death Note to my list as well.

Make sure you watch Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood as well.   I agree with Goat as well Deadman's Wonderland is an interesting one too. Not to mention Kill La Kill and Attack On Titan. It's two of the more popular ones out right now. I have to post another list of anime I've recently watched that I would reccommend.  Going to check this one out. Started to but I fell asleep.
