Especially when:A good call, given that Higurashi is a very gripping anime, but I must say, if you're scared by Shuffle, Higurashi will give you nightmares. Or maybe that's just because I watched it late at night in a dark room - good for mood, bad for sanity.
See what I mean?
It's definitely a different type of anime; although it looks like a harem, it's more like a mystery show with some cute girls spliced in. Not a bad formula in any case - I've finished the first season, and am starting the second.
In any case I don't know how much you've heard of it already, so I'll stop ranting unless you need more detail.
Ah, good to see some life in this thread. Haven't been here in a while.
Shuffle! was a lot of fun, I rather liked the insane psychopaths and the drama, since you don't see a lot of it this side of School Days (or Higurashi - now there's something that will make you lose sleep), and it differentiated it from a lot of the typical harem fare.
How far are you in Da Capo? It's certainly not as freaky as Shuffle but it still does delve into the really dramatic at times - although if you've watched any harem-types like this you should be used to it. Yoriko's arc was a real tear-jerker for me, so hopefully you will enjoy that.
I'm jealous of you people who have that much time to watch anime though - I can barely fit an hour or two in my schedule as it is, but that doesn't mean I discriminate. I still watch a lot of shows even though I have no time.
What's everyone's opinion of the anime from this season? I'm following ef - a tale of melodies and absolutely loving it every step of the way (although some might find it too 'artsy').
Clannad AS is still pretty solid, although some of the drama is a bit overblown.
Akane-iro ni Somaku Saka ... I don't like it ... but I watch it anyway. Maybe I'm wondering if it goes the same way as Da Capo - you'll see what I mean
Oh, and Nodame Cantabile Pari-hen ... man, I missed Nodame. Superb slice-of-life / comedy / romance.
Watching Chaos;Head as well and it's pretty solid, although I'm really confused by it. But that's part of the fun!
Mind asking this, but is it with English subtitles? If so, can you please PM me the link?
Might as well download Extra Stage, Battle Stage and Battle Stage 2 while I wait for 5th Stage to appear......
I'm on episode 23, and Higurashi has touched my now tainted soul. Like the avatar?
not really harem lol
lol back to the crackhouse now okay?
Oh forgot to mention True Tears is a very good romance and drama anime, its worth watching, 3 girls all wanting the main guy
Boring to start trust me, but couple episodes in your hooked. Other people is the same lol.
Awsome got gundam to watch and some Rosario Vampire oh yea!
Still progressing through Da Capo, my mind wavers from time to time about the series.
Still pondering about H20 Footprints in the Sand ending... It was freaky, but final end was happy.
You're very quick with Higurashi, I'm impressed. 
Well I was always interested in what happened between them.......
Wait, chapter 36 is out!? Is it a raw coming or a scantilation? Need to update on that as well........I was hoping for a re-match against Tak...
Havent read any new Chapters...
Ive read up to the start of FD v.s. Supra.
Manga is funnier the expressions are a laugh.
I wonder whats gonna happen with Tak and his new girl
What if that slut comes back!!? lol
Well I was always interested in what happened between them.......
It was a very crazy show that started really bad but it got really gripping by the end, I have to agree that it didn't make a lot of sense but realism was thrown out the window a long time ago for it. I treat it as more of a dramatic work than a realistic one. Then it's fun to watch and see what happens - did you like episode 8 with Otoha? That was one of my favorites for the humor and the randomness - and the final scene...
Finally - it feels like I type a lot - anyone else watching Chaos; Head (up to 4) and not understanding it? It feels like I'm watching Higurashi with all the freakiness and how each question answered creates two more questions ... but I can't expect as much blood. Or can I?
Wait, chapter 36 is out!? Is it a raw coming or a scantilation? Need to update on that as well........
Damn, I feel so left out.......Its like volume 38 or 39 soon.
Ive read Volume 37 AE86 v.s. MRS rematch
C'mon trueno, head onto GT5 already. Give me the Shuichi Ver.
Damn, I feel so left out.......
So did you read the raw version or the translated version? If its the latter, could you give me a link to where I can have a read?
Past the 2/3rds mark in watching it and it's really good in my opinion. ^_^ As for the anime's synopsis...
That was from the MyAnimeList.net page for Capeta.
