That's the sort of thing that turned me off from watching the Gravion shows.

Finished Haruhi. Can anyone tell me what the hell was with the ending? Mainly the fact that it didn't end? It left basically every question unanswered and every plot point unaddressed. Does the second season clear up any of this? Other than that, I loved it. It was a very fun and entertaining show with a cool premise and a small hint of romance.

Disgusting because of the over-usage of fan service, it's a series about zombies, not about the girl's panties and jiggly breasts. In one scene a girl starts shooting some zombies, we don't see the zombies getting killed but instead we see what's under her skirt. It's retarded and creepy.
OK, well... I don't know. Personally it doesn't seem out of place. Zombie killing doesn't exactly equal a cerebral experience, so throwing in a second "Stupid fun" kind of element doesn't really seem to change anything for the worse as far as I see it. Oh well.

Well the second season was actually just filling in more events from the orignial light novels that happen during the timeline of the first season. Haruhi, by it's very nature, isn't going to have an ending. Haruhi is God and doesn't realize it. At the end of the series she starts to get bored with everything and Kyon brings her back to herself with the power of love. But they still are going to spend the rest of their lives making sure Haruhi enjoys life. I'd recommend you also check out the movie, as that fills in more of Kyon's character.

Im looking forward to that as well since im still waiting to see season six on dvd.

I started watching the live action show earlier this year and it took a while to catch up via netflix dvds and reruns on tv.

Its a shame Jensen Ackles isnt in the show until the last two eps i think. Is his replacement a name voice actor?
I don't know, but Jensen voices the last two episodes. Apparently, this thing has 22 episodes! There are videos I saw on youtube of him and Jared doing intros for each episode and talking a bit about the series, which is pretty cool. Makes me wish that Buffy Animated Series had gotten off the ground

Been watching Steins;Gate and No. 6 on a weekly basis. Steins;Gate is one of the better anime I've seen in a while. No. 6 is OK. Not a "must see" IMO.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes.

Haha, are you ready for NO plot until the last two episodes? lol. It's worth it for the Joe Hisaishi score though.

I have taken the plunge into Saint Seiya myself! I'm really liking it so far, the music is mindblowingly awesome, holy crap.

I like how you know the fiance is going to die about 10 seconds into the show.

Its like they saw gundam, and thought " forget that long build up to killing people, lets start putting people in body bags right away"
