Since I can’t sleep, here’s what I’ve been watching lately:

• Inu Yasha – I’m about 15 episodes into this show. So far it’s quite good. It’s a nice mix of adventure, action, and romantic comedy, with a supernatural time travelling twist. This is a long one though. There are 82 episodes fansubbed already. Also, starting a week from Saturday, this show will be on “Cartoon Network” as part of “Adult Swim”.

• Hikaru no go – I’m ten episodes into this show and finding it much more interesting then I would have thought. There’s a lot of good drama and character interaction. Part of me wonders how long they can keep it up for though.

• Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai – This show remains insane. They’ve spoofed a number of movie and anime genres. From scifi (the 2001 bit is great) to Hong Kong Action movies to Film Noir. And then around episode 7 or 8 it took an odd little left turn and gained a bit of a plot. I’m up to episode 10 and anxiously awaiting the last few episodes of this show.

• Chobits – With what is most likely the last major story arc the plot is really starting to pick up. The last two episodes have really given me a bunch to think about. I’m wondering how they are going to tie it up, since I think the manga is still going on.

That’s it for now. Right now I’m anxiously awaiting the next episodes of Ai Yori Aoshi and Saikano.
