Gunslinger Girl2 1-5 rewatch which has my favourite opening theme by the wondrous Kokia. Link
Darker Than Black2 5-8.
The Squid Girl 1-4. Really not sure about this one. The punning in the subtitles is just annoying; not sure if it's in the original or if it's an attempt to translate a particular type of humour. If it's only on the subtitles then the people who did it need a good slap.

In the original she inserts the word for a squid tentacle into her normal speech and emphasises interrogative words in a way which sounds like 'squid' in Japanese. So they've tried to capture that same feeling. I thought it was great but YMMV :D

If it's an attempt to keep the spirit of the original then that's fair enough and to be fair it became less of a problem as the episodes progressed and I got more used to it; possibly as I increased my beer intake :)
 
Being a jobless, feckles wastrel I can spend all day loafing about watching anime, and chose this morning the reacquaint myself with the first four episodes of Hellsing Ultimate. Mainly because I wanted to listen to the commentaries which are very interesting and especially on 3 and 4 very amusing. Had the subtitles running as well, forgot how gloriously camp the whole thing is. Can't wait to see episodes 5-8 "officially" as I like the dub cast and I believe they have all returned.
 
HighSchool DxD New 6

After the seriousness of the last two episodes, I'm glad to see them going to the more ridiculous. Damn it Issei xD
 
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 (Season 2) - Episodes 6 to 9 (Disc 2 of 6 via KAZE Ver.)

It's getting better and better, it might reach a 10/10 on my overall enjoyment.
 
Little Witch Academia

Due to the hype surrounding the Kickstarter for the sequel, I decided to give the first one a go and I enjoyed it a fair bit. Personally, I would prefer if, instead of a sequel, Trigger would take this short and remake it into a feature length film - it really did show some potential and there is definitely room for the world and the characters to grow. It actually felt like it was a feature length production crammed into 26 minutes.

I felt that the characters felt generic, except Sucy. Sucy was a lot of fun.

First time watching a Bleach piece. Not bad, I'll check out the rest in a later time.

Oh wow, never noticed that before, but there it is. I see it's Fade to Black next week. I never did see that so I'll Sky+ it. Shame Sony Movies don't broadcast in HD though.
