Topic title pretty much says it all. What animated goodness have you been watching lately?
I've been watching Full Metal Panic on and off and I can't say that it's really doing anything for me. I like the idea of a military nut being clueless inside school but the rest of the cliches and attempts at tension and drama bore me. Oh well, only got one more episode to watch and then I'll move on to other stuff.
Also saw the movie Summer Wars not long ago. My god, everyone who hasn't done so already NEEDS to go and watch this film!

right now watching the futurama reruns.
but later i want to see my favorite anime:
long live the old animes!
What series is that, Mada? I'm not a massive fan of shoujo series but the 80's classics are always awesome.
rose of versailles.
its actually a drama. its about a noble female royal guard forced to live her life as a man by her father. its set during the french reveloution all the characters are real historically except lady oscar. and that's marie next to her incase you're wondering.
i found this video of the anime but be careful its a spoiler if you do want to see this anime close this vid midway.
i repeat spoilers!

Does look pretty interesting, and thats a badass song.
Faces look very Saint Seiya ish
how dare you compare the awsome yuri mangas of ikeda to saint saiya, this is her signature character design its in all her mangas.
anyway rose of versailles is too advanced in emotions for a man to love. the song's lyrics you heard was from the opening but the music is redone in a new fad style called the "anime metal" also known as animetel. its anime songs redone for the metal heads to enjoy.
I'm watching One Piece, Regular Show and whenever an episode releases the third season of Black Lagoon.
Seriously, Black Lagoon is the goods as far as action anime is concerned.
Edit: I forgot Archer. Best comedy cartoon on TV right now by far.

Wakfu: Because it reminds me of The Slayers. A happy mix of comedy fantasy tropes and $*++ JUST GOT REAL moments. Season 2 is airing right now, and it's been glorious.
Also, there's this one show... it's pretty obscure. You probably haven't heard of it.
I just recently wrapped up and rewatch Venture Bros. Season 4. There is never a moment where this show is not brilliant. "Bright Lights, Dean City" isn't the best Season 4 episode, but it has one of the funniest moments concerning the Revenge Society trying to hire more members for their team. The funny part is that one of the people auditioning is clearly a psychotic serial killer wearing a scary bear costume, complete with bloody knife. Seeing Phantom Limb, Mr. Impossible, and Baron Underbeit all terrified is hilarious in itself, then the next scene cuts to the final audition: Brick Frog. Literally a man in a frog costume with bricks as his weapon. The execution, timing, and overall pathetic-ness of Brick Frog is just...just gut-bursting hilarious. I made it my new icon for a reason. ^^

This show is awesome. I'm sad it's (allegedly) over. One of these days I'm going to have to marathon the entire run... especially since I missed out on a ton of episodes over the years.
Currently?
Anime - Tiger & Bunny (VERY much reminiscent of Shinesman and Dai-Guard IMO and this is a GOOD thing, it's streaming on ANN atm), One Piece
Cartoons - Ben 10 Ultimate Alien, Generator Rex, Symbionic Titan, Superjail!, FiM
I HAVE been wanting to see Summer Wars, though. Also need to go back through Lost Universe and finish watching Outlaw Star. Is it just me or with Symbionic Titan, Generator Rex and Ultimate Alien, has Cartoon Network gotten awesome in sci-fi again?

Venture Bros. isn't over. The creators confirmed two more seasons, some shorts, and a possible 60-90 minute movie.
oh what about futurama i know all of you seen it ages ago but i just did recently so i'm curious is there more than 6 seasons or not?

Last I heard, there's a seventh season in the works.
Yeah, FMP! was average at best. It didn't get what I would call great until Kyoto Animation took it away from Gonzo and produced FMP?: Fumoffu and FMP!: The Second Raid.
Right now, I'm watching Outlaw Star. Shame I missed it when it was originally on Toonami.
Futurama has 6 seasons currently: the first 4 seasons aired on FOX network back in 2000-2003, later in '08-'09 4 movies were produced which constitutes the 5th season, and after those proved successful another 26 episodes were commissioned for a 6th season. So far only 13 episodes of that season have aired on Comedy Central, the other 13 will begin airing this June. Also a 7th season is confirmed to be in production.

Hence the term "allegedly". When the final episode premiered it was thought to be the last one, and there was word that the studio that produces the show had disbanded. I'm glad that's not the case!

Ahh, touche.
That said: http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/3702 Looks like the a Venture Bros. special is coming this July. Can't wait.
thanks nega X and psxphile. have a sonic cake as a token of my gratitude
hopefully one of you's first name is kim.
I recently watched Summer Wars too. I would second that recommendation of watch it now! Its one of those movies that is so much more then the brief synopsis on the back cover.
I also watched Evangelion 1.11. I've never seen anything Evengelion related so all I had going into watching it was a bunch of hype. I can't say I liked it a whole bunch, but it was far from bad. Now I'm about to watch 2.22, but I can't get over its hideous orange case sleeve.

Having a massive urge to re-watch The Iressponsible Captain Tylor. I blame you.
Watching through the Claymore DVDs with my brother currently.
Am also following new Doctor Who.
Since I found a copy of Teen Titans, complete 2nd Season for cheap...I guess I'll watch that!
Just saw Summer Wars, and I'm also going to have to recommend it. It kind of reminds me of Wargames sprinkled with a little bit of dotHack...sorta.
Also found the Excel Saga set in DVD form, so I'm going to start digging into that shortly.
