Got as far as ep 6, love it! Educational, silly, has good actors and an addictive opening theme.
Not very typical since has no actual couples, which is good news for all shippers. Am desperately trying to see as much slash as possible between Sawaki and Kei. Am getting hints, but very vague ones. Want more

A Bit Of Fry And Laurie
Am in the middle of series 2, they are lovely, they are wonderful. I love Hugh and I love Stephen, something about brits being silly that makes me go all gooey.
Hugh and his songs are the best

Jigoku Shoujo 3?
I just heard a rumor that there will be a third season, I practically wet myself out of happiness. Also am on the lookout for any other creepy series. Have no more hangover. Am happy.

Lupin III: Kiri no Elusive
Overall rating:7
The story is weak. Really, really weak, but the animation and the feeling of the movie as a whole is so nostalgic. This is the first time I noticed that they returned to the drawing style of the first series, which I will forever hold as the original. It was also somehow similar to Castle of Caligostro, right down to the original little Beetle and a cameo by Clarissa (granted, she was merely a sign on a truck that drove by, but it's the thought that matters). The expressions, the way they grinned at one another and a silly moment by Goemon were all so similar to those I saw in the first series and in Miyazaki's work. Not to mention the opening and ending sequence and the song, which they took from the first series.
The humor was also something out of the 70's, especially the moment in the boat where the small boy asks Lupin, Jigen and Goemon their names, while referring to them as 'old men' at which Lupin and Jigen do a comical moment announcing themselves in funny voices as "Old Man number one - Lupin!" and "Old Man number two - Jigen!" unconsciously pushing Goemon to keep up with the act and him saying "Old Man number three-"before remembering himself and just saying "Ishikawa Goemon" in an unnecessarily low tone.
It was nice, something for a person, who misses the sweet charm of Castle of Caligostro, but doesn't have too high expectations. This is something light with animation that quite good.

Naruto Shippuden ep 42
I seem to enjoy the anime less and less, were it not for the seductive seme'ness of Kabuto I would stop. That and the recent background music are holding me on a leash. It just seemes so slow and they keep using more and more CG. I would prefer bad hand animation to mid core CG.
Feeling sad, after all I used to have such a connection to this anime.

Paprika
Director: Satoshi Kon
Overall Rating: 9
Impression: Just got back from watching, maybe it was the big screen, which makes all emotions seem larger but the movie still makes my knees wobble. As I stood on the bus stop I was afraid to breath, fearing that something important will disappear. Some bits (very few, might I add!) were slow but the procession, the tension, the animation and the story more than made up for it. As with any movie, i also got teary at one point))
It was so scary, so beautiful, so touching and both the protagonists and the antagonists were right to some extent. It made you doubt what is really real, what is really right. Made me jealous that I will never be able to create something like that, after all - it has already been made by Kon.

PÖFF
Yay! PÖFF is starting, am at the same time happy and miserable: I want to see all Chinese, Japanese and Korean movies but there are so many of them and an Iranian movie sounds interesting but I doubt that I will ever squeeze enough money out of both mother and polli. P.K. said that he might work there for a while so he could sneak me in, but it would be damn embarrassing if I kept popping up every day, he could get fired an all. Hmm... life is full of difficult choices.
