Quick review on Black Butler: Sebastien is hot, and I'm perving on shota again dammit. But yes, I have DEFINITELY found my anime for this season. I've been awaiting this one eagerly. *_* Now to decide if one more can fit on the list with Pushing Daisies and True Blood.

Make some anime recs people! Remember I will only choose one.

What Nayami looks for in an anime:

-Strong plot or at least strong enough for me to feasibly make up the rest
-Intriguing characters [Read: Fucked-up characters]
-Sexy demons/supernatural-like things
-ANGST
-Occasionally shoujo fluff but it has to be rockin' like Host Club
-Mechs but they have to be BADASS and awesome looking and they have to come with really good characters (Sorry, 00 still not clicking for some reason. ;;)
-Good animation. This is a must. I'm a super snob about this, and it's the reason I have issues with Vampire Knight anime.
-Alternative means of canons (manga, games, drama cds) are also a plus

So what's hot?

Black Butler is the only thing I really rec this season. (Manga also if you haven't read it~)

But I hear Tales of Abyss is doing everything right, though I have yet to see it myself.

Mononoke. Ghost Hound, Maijin Tantei Nougami Nuero, Akagi (beautifully animated but you gotta get used to the super-shounen, One Piece-esque character designs), and Lovely Complex I can't recommend enough.

Oooh. I second Majin Tantei Neuro and Mononoke. Both last season, but that just makes downloading easier.

So that just makes me all the more credible, right? XP

I've also started watching Natsume Yuujinchou and I'm in love with that show after the first episode...

After Mushishi and xxxHolic- Natsume Yuujinchou felt a bit too similar to me, but it is certainly adorable. Did you ever watch Mushishi?

Yep!

Natsume has a completely different aesthetic than both xxxHolic and Mushishi so it doesn't bore me. It has kind of the MOTD (Monster Of The Day) set-up but the show hasn't fallen into that trap, it has evolved to be more than just Natsume giving back names. Of course I haven't watched the above-mentioned shows in over a year or two so I'm squeeling over this one.
