elennielNow that the FET Forums have closed, it almost feels like PoT is really over for me... Just that it's still being translated by a few on MangaHelpers - so I haven't totally stopped keeping track of it. ^^
So sans PoT now, what am I following?
One Piece
A long-time staple of mine, ever since I got midway through the PoT series. I only wish K-F would hurry a little with their fansubbing... But then they're doing a great job as it is. :) The G8 filler arc that just ended was a superb example of what a filler should be. Meanwhile, the manga is really exciting to read. Sanji's showing that he's got some brains at least :D
Bleach
Another "staple", but one that has run into a sub-par filler arc that I really hope will end soon. The manga, on the other hand... It matches One Piece for twisting of the mind. But the most recent one or two chapters seem to have run into a sort of lull. Guess the bandit Arrancar or whatever didn't go down well with me. They seemed a little pointless other than to serve as a re-entry for Rukia and Renji. ^^;
Eyeshield 21
Am really 'into' Eyeshield right now - the manga, I mean. The anime's kinda at a halt; not sure what's going on with the fansubbers, but anyway. I would put it on par with Slam Dunk. Sadly, PoT isn't quite on the same level. It might have been, except that... Well, you know. Hopefully Eyeshield won't do that too. I find Hiruma's schemes and tactics really intriguing, devilish though he is.
Oh, the other day I was watching ESPN and there was a segment on the NFL or something. I was going to change the channel, when I saw that they were highlighting a player with the number 21. Out of curiosity, I stayed at that channel. Got amused when I found out the guy was a running back. (Eyeshield 21's position in the team.) I was even more amused when they showed clips of some of his games and I saw that his helmet had an eyeshield! LOL. A real Eyeshield 21!
Saiunkoku Monogatari
My housemate introduced this to me recently, knowing that I like the historical fiction type, and it's romance-based, but not too lovey-dovey all over the place. At first I didn't really like the way the characters were drawn; there was just something about the angles or - or something - that looked a little off. But I got over it, and now am fairly keen on Saiunkoku. :) I liked the fact that the heroine - Shuurei - didn't have a squeaky voice and her personality was interesting. (Like Haruhi in Ouran.) And, of course, there's the bishounen. XD I can't decide which one I like best yet though... Probably Seiran at the moment. heheh
Others that I'm watching now are Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, Kyou Kara Maou, Cowboy Bebop and School Rumble.
Was also watching Honey & Clover 2 and Ouran High School Host Club but those ended already. Loved Ouran - my personal favourite was Kyouya. I guess I just have this thing about the megane characters. :P Second place goes to Tamaki! Hehehe...
One of my friends says there's a rumour that there might be a live-action Ouran. Much as my friends and I love Ouran, none of us are too keen on a live-action. Somehow, there's a feeling it wouldn't go too well. I did say that if they did, perhaps Shirota Yuu should play Tamaki - he's already half-European anyway. Ahah! ... *cough* Okay, I'm sane now. =D

At the minute I'm waiting for anime-kraze to hurry up and finish subbing it.
Conrad and Yuuri is love! XD
