I've always wanted to read the Berserk Mangas too, as I would love to know more about the story on top of the series (and Dreamcast game)!
It's a shame though, as I don't read a lot of Manga (I find they take too much time/money/space). Hopefully one day though!

Weiss Kreuz, I"m curious but it never seems to go beyond curiousity for me X|
Gundam Wing, I liked Seed enough that I'll probably come around to this one eventually.
La Corda d'Oro, the manga's cute enough to make me want to catch the series.
Twelve Kingdoms, it looks fun, but another one I just haven't gotten around to.

Awesome choice! Cromatie High is a hilarious anime series, I am sure you will like it.
Just a little update, I watched the first 7 or 8 episodes yesterday and had to stop. It's one of the worst anime I've ever endured watching so it was a waste of me buying the entire R1 DVD boxset and I'm really disappointed. The blurb on the box describes it as 'hilarious' but I managed 4 smiles throughout the entire stint. The humour works on a level I just can't comprehend and that surprised me because I'm very open minded and have a twisted sense of humour too. *meh*

Anyway, I rectified this ill feeling by watching A TREE OF PALME [finally] and was impressed with that kind of surrealism. I could tell it was directed by Takashi Nakamura because of the themes and style which reminded me of AKIRA and his segment in ROBOT CARNIVAL.
Out of the gloom a voice said unto me;

So I smiled and was happy
and behold;
things did get worse...

I think I've basically taken care of the backlog of anime I wanted to see. The other shows left on the list are quite low on the totem pole or they're stuff I have very little intention of ever getting back to.

I'd like to see the first two series of Nanoha someday though...

....and if I ever see decent stuff for the first time from an anime that I've never watched any of before, that'll be the first series I plan on watching. :^^:

On my current "to find/watch" list are:

*Gundam (any of them - which was the first series?)
*Saiunkoku Monogatari
*Gurren Lagaan
*Romeo x Juliet
*59+ of Bleach
*122+ of Naruto

I've very behind in the "newer" shows. But I have been good about buying DVDs and catching up with older series. :)

lol Krafty, just saw your post. Cromatie High humor is similar to that of south park. Kind of.. You really need to watch it not in large amounts but rather a few episodes a day.. Its on of those series heh. A shame you didn't enjoy it but I do agree the series is not for eveyone.

You haven't seen kenshin!?!??! 8O 8O 8O :roll:

well those smilies just take the cake... But shampoo I forgive ya...

As far as the other series you have yet to get around I have to strongly endorse both Monster and Genshiken. Both are really good series.

Gurren Lagaan... I am not a huge fan of the series (if you speak to some they think its the best anime series to come out all year... I dont think so...) But it is epic, and a really fun series to watch. Just take it in strides and dont take it to seriously.

I tell ya, you guys are missing out on some great series... Hurry up! lol.

As far as my own list is concerned.. Series that I plan to see (so far) can be found at the bottom of this list:

I've always wanted to see Hana Yori Dango and I'm now halfway through that one. :)

I don't have much else on my "Must See" list. :(

I still haven't gotten around to finishing Hime-chan no Ribbon. I get to the 20s and just stop, get lazy, go months or years without watching and then have to watch over again just so I won't start again at an episode I'm not supposed to see yet. Vicious cycle. I wonder if, by the time I get to the end, I'll be disappointed X|

Ranma 1/2 *hides* I've seen the movies and OVAs, but haven't really watched the TV show.

Candy Candy.

Heidi of the Alps.

A lot more, but I'd have to do some searching to remember.
