A new season of anime started a while ago (around beginning of April), so the list of what I’m watching now appears.

Bleach (ブリーチ) is still ongoing for quite some time now. It’s one of those series that just goes on for quite some time..

Death Note (デスノート) is still ongoing from last season. Canonically speaking, it’s somewhere past the midpoint now, although I haven’t watched anything past episode 23 so far (and the subs I follow are at 25 and the RAW’s at 27). I must say, it really does put the entire series on a whole new level of liveliness, simply because the animation is pretty good.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS (魔法少女リリカルなのはStrikerS) was something I ran across somehow on the vast tubes of the Internets. Despite its main genre lying in the realm of shoujo, its more of something for everyone, which makes it something that’s interesting enough to watch and enjoy. It managed to get me to watch the previous two seasons of Nanoha: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (魔法少女リリカルなのは) and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A’s (魔法少女リリカルなのはエース). The best way to describe the series is that it’s like a magical girl series with various deviations into mecha anime (your typical beam attack), pretty good combat sequences, and gun mechanics (from A’s onward). It’s an interesting find.

Romeo x Juliet (ロミオxジュリエット) is an anime adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, the Shakespearean play. No, there aren’t any mecha involved, nor are there any guns or weapons named “Sword” or “Long Sword” like in the modern-day adaptation movie. In this one, the setting is in a renaissance-esque environment on a floating city named Neo Verona with pegasuses. As well, the Capulets end up mostly murdered by the Montagues, save Juliet. It would be interesting to watch.

In addition to all these, I am still waiting for the final two episodes of Code Geass (コードギアス) to air as well as School Rumble Third Semester (スクールランブル三学期), whenever that comes out because the story really picks up.

As well, I’m currently in the process of getting Azumanga Daioh (あずまんが大王) because of its awesomeness (from various people).

(Note: If you’re wondering “What’s with the Japanese names for the anime?”, the answer is “Because I feel like it.”)
