-Cowboy Bebop
-Naruto
-Naruto Shippuden
-Bleach
-Code Geass
-Air
-Kanon (the first version)
-Clannad
-El Cazador de la Bruja
-Rosario + Vampire
-Chance Pop Session
-Full Metal Alchemist
-Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
-Negima (the first version)
-Sonic X
-Sorcerous Stabber Orphen

I really need to watch more anime than I do, but I've been kind of busy. I agree with you on Naruto by the way, too much filler in the tv series, that's why I started reading the manga instead, once they finish the tv series then I'll go through and watch all of the non-filler episodes that I missed.

Yeah I want to watch more anime, but I have weird tastes. I don't like japanese dub (don't like reading while watching). I heard a lot of that Code Geass show, but never pulled the trigger on watching it. And Ryuu made a great point about flashbacks... it's so irritating. Right now I'm about 25 episodes behind (like 12 non filler). Right now I'm saving up to watch them all in a big bunch, but this filler garbage has to end. I will never understand the point in filler. I'm guessing they are contractually obligated to make it, but do many people actually like it? I know a vocal bunch hate it, but is that only a minority? I hope not. I know for anime the show has to be behind the manga, but why couldn't they just make the non filler, not air it until they have to, and take vacations instead of making filler.

I've heard great things about Code Geass, I guess I should go try it out.


I wasn't a big fan personally. One of the lowest ranked anime on my list actually. But that's probably just me. 

:O I wish Netflix had it so I could watch it in HD though. 

Does Crunchyroll have it? If so you could sign up for their free trial if you haven't already. 

They don't I'm already subscribed to there anime all acess package. I find myself questioning the value of CR though. I'll probably have to watch it on Animefreak.tv

Kaze No Stigma was awesome, I felt the ending was kind of cliche though.

For you WP Fans out there Pbroy just posted this

Sony in Discussion with Microsoft for Windows Phones (Could see Sony phones come to WP brand which is great news.  Sony has some good phones)

 

Windows Phone coming to the Sony brand?

Sony has confirmed to TechRadar that it is actively looking into the possibility of launching a Windows Phone as it seeks to move away from being a single OS manufacturer.

Pierre Perron, head of Sony Mobile Europe, told TechRadar it didn't want to offer only one flavour of mobile OS, stating: "We are continuing our discussions with other partners, including Microsoft, as part of our partnership with this company on the broader Sony spectrum.

"[Working with Microsoft] is an interesting proposition for us in the PC environment, and we continue our engagement with them.

"We are exploring this as part of our discussion in mobile space too. One thing is using the platform [Windows Phone] itself, and another is 'what can we deliver on top of it'?"

There have been rumours that Sony is planning a comeback in the Windows Phone space for a while now, and this statement echoes a similar one made by Perron in 2012.

However soon after that CEO Kunimasa Suzuki moved to quash such speculation, saying the company had no plans to release a Windows Phone device.

Coming back around

The two brands do have history in the mobile space, with the Xperia X1 launching with Windows Mobile coming in 2008. However, the X2 sequel was launched but never released, and Sony has since then been focused solely on Android smartphones.

Given the success Sony is slowly achieving with Android power, it could seem odd that the brand would look elsewhere, but Pierron believes this is as much about safety in a changing market as it is about offering consumer choice:

"We don't want to be a single OS manufacturer, I don't think it's a viable position in the long term," added Perron.

"We enjoy very much a good collaboration with Google, we've been working with them for a long time and have a level of maturity with that discussion, that's good. But at the same time, Google has a relationship with direct competitors."

Perron declined to give a specific date on when we might see a Windows Phone, stating that the discussions were tentative at the moment (and clearly have been for some time) , but given the steady rise in popularity for Microsoft's OS, it seems that perhaps there may still be others looking to launch on Windows Phone too.
