Oh well? I think he should have kept writing
Zombie Powder
to a proper ending, but it's his choice at the end of the day. As I said, I like the way it's going....which means it might be possible that the filler arcs in the anime actually has his go ahead when they are created.

Isn't it funny how the official websites for anime is always the one with the least videos, and the fan made ones are always up to date with all the different sub/dub/japanese versions.

Obviously, with the earthquake/tsunami situation, you can imagine you probably won't see many new releases and events for about a week.
Remember, this isn't Haiti, so it won't take years for Japan to fix this problem.
E: I'm probably stating the obvious... but yeah.

/happy dance
So.....my converter program worked perfectly; I now have all of the Digimon seasons on DVD with the original Japanese voice work, English subtitles, and the removed content back in! No more bad dub work(though, a few of the voices were excellent; Piedmon and Apocalymon for example), so more happy dancing lol.

Damn wowhead really does have everything...
anyway my top 5
1)
Berserk
. As far as im concerned Kentaru Miuras Berserk is a mastepiece, when i read it it dosnt feel like im reading a manga, it feels like a great novel that should go down in history as a classic. My favorite thing is how the story can make you laugh one moment, at the exploits of a wise cracking elf, and the next chapter take you to the darkest part of the human soul, this is a manga that will show you the best, and the worst of humanity. I also like the manga adaptation, becuase while it dosnt stray from the manga, it does show you another side to the story of an arc that the manga seemed to skim over at some points, and expresses more themes of friendship, war, and politics, than the manga which at large is more themed to horror, revenge, and causality. And more than any ther story you find yourself awed by and rooting for the protaganist of characture guts, as he battled against his own fate.
2)
Hellsing
. Hellsing is one of those rare series, where i actualy prefer the anime very much to the manga counterpart (not let me be clear im refering to the OVA series, not the original anime). The hellsing anime has stunning visuals, as well as fanaminal voice acting in both the english and japanese translations, i particularly like the english dub as the voice actors capture very well the ethnicity of each characture, weather irish, english, italian, french or german. And to top it all off Krispin Freeman delivers an amazingly creepy and chilling preformance as Alucard. As well as all the points mentioned Hellsing delivers a fantastic retelling of the classic story of Dracula.
3)
Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin
. GNG is a little known anime in the states, there was never an english dub or offical sub, and the manga was never translated. However this remains, in my opinion, one of the best storys ever told. Its a story told from the perspective of a pack of mountain dogs trying to raise help in battleing a "demon" (not really demon) bear terrorizing the area. This is one of the most touching storys ive ever seen, although its not for the light hearted, the last few episodes are kind of like watching the end to old yeller a dozen times in a row.
4)
Trigun
. Trigun i will freely admit i like 60% just for the nastalgia, as it was one of the first anime i ever really got into, though even on its own merits i still find it to be a fine anime. My favorite part is the main charatcure Vash, who plays the eternal optomist, in a very negetive and bleak world. I like the comedy, the action, the emotional moments, everything really about trigun.
5)
Gantz
. Gantz is like the B horror movies of anime, in the sence that it follows the formula: 60% gore, 30% !@#$, 8% weird writing, 2% story. Now thats the anime, the manga on the other hand is a much more engaging story. The sad thing about gantz is that it ends right as the story gets really good, beleive it or not the filler ending is better than the rest of the anime. The manga on the other hand, while it has a weird story as well, its one of those that for some reason i just cant seem to put down, while it only rankes #5 on my anime/manga list, if taking only the manga into consideration it is easily #2 on my list after berserk.

Hell yeah Zombie Powder... I want more of that and GunBlaze West (I <3 Watsuki)...
That being said: I read Wolf Guy (Ookami no Monshou) and... man, that took a turn for the X rating without letting me know it was coming.
On topic:
I've been watching (on and off) whatever licensed anime I can scrounge up on YouTube... Finished off:
Baccano! (I enjoyed it, even if some of the characters were a little annoying)
Durarara!
(swiftly became one of my favorites, especially due to the first intro/credits)
Spice and Wolf (You can see how I was drawn along backwards through these anime)
House of Five Leaves
(excellent... can't even begin to describe how nice it was to watch a samurai anime without fight scenes every 4 seconds!)
Kaze no Stigma (Predictable, but I like wind magic, so it was pretty enjoyable regardless of the tropes)
Mushi-shi (didn't actually finish this one, even though it was quite interesting... got distracted by:)
Gundam 00 (I love me some mobile suits... this might as well be Gundam Wing 2.0 though)
Still on the list:
Magic Knight Rayearth (I've read the manga, have a good respect for Clamp stuff, but the old animation is throwing me off)
Slayers (Never got into this one back in the day (same for Ranma1/2), and still can't really get into it)
Saiyuki (Liked the manga, the animation (and the dub) are really turning me off)
