I suggest Innocent Venus to take over Blood+... At least show episode 1 sometime!

I suggest we put Rozen Maiden on in place of Blood+.

I'm not complaining if Rozen Maiden gets on... I've still got to see that one.

There really isn't anything intrinsically wrong with Rozen Maiden, but it isn't nearly as good as its legion of fans say it is (though anything and everything Suigintou makes up for that :wink: ). And the story is still incomplete, even with the two seasons and the tv specials, so....

*tries to remember*

I can't remember where I got season 1 from, got 2 off of madman and Ouverture I aquired myself. :D

Also, Rozen Maiden doesn't really fit into the minderjährigen mädchen category. Victorian-era clothing doesn't really sexualize the dolls like the word minderjährigen mädchen would suggest. Although, many a dolljoints fetish has spawned from it. :P

More also, bar one particularily delicious zOMG dolljoints scene, there is not a single scrap of fanservice.

Maybe perhaps minderjährigen mädchen if anything.

"Jun's harem but not quite"

And yes, yes it is. :twisted:

1. I never implied that RM was minderjährigen mädchen, what i was meaning is that it has now been the thing that is corrupting your mind as of alate, and hearing the dolljoint thing, i am a little scared of what i have corruted you with!

2. if it wasn't clear enough in my post i was trying to say that you received Rozen Maiden from me!

Soukou no Strain is shaping up to be a good series. I have only seen 3 episodes, but once it gets past the 18th century style thing at the begining, it becomes a quite compelling series.

It has a definate Starship trooper quality to it, in that many characters die on camera, usually after you get to either like or hate them. I found it to be quite refreshing and even a little cool.
In particular I like the timing of the deaths. Several of them come after they give the viewers a glimpse of what should happen next (relationship wise).

The combat is 3D and decently done, eg it adds to the anime rather than sticking out or detracting from it.

Some of the characters are a little (pun) annoying though (Well more stupid than really annoying).

Might be worth adding to the playlist.

It was mugged by a girl wielding a hawk and an eggplant. It is recovering in hospital as we speak.

B+ may not return this year after getting this score (it was 11th in 2005).

Due to it's low rank in the yearly poll it has been replaced.
