I watched an anime series on Funimation's youtube channel. One that didn't make me recoil in disgust, despite being bloody as Hell.
Blue Gender.
It's very good. Also, it's not kid-safe. It's not even safe for younger teens. Damn, those things are scary. Of course, if I know anime fans, they won't care about the action and horror scenes of Blue Gender, but rather, the borderline-hentai scenes. (LOL! NEKKID BEWB SHOTS! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!) I'm too lazy to go into full detail, but if you don't mind the intense violence, (and the vulgarity) try out Blue Gender. Also, it has one of the best English dubs ever.
FUCK DUB HATERS!!!!!!!!!!
Blue Gender Final Score: 9 out of 10. Yeah, it's that good.

I got something on DVD recently. You wanna know what it is?
The entirety of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Who saw that coming?
Well, until the second half of Death Note comes out in a box set, I have no other anime show I want to collect at the moment. Suffice to say, Haruhi on DVD is something else. The dance is smoother than ever before, and the coloring is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen in a work of animation. Now, I know, I, unlike every-fucking-body else on the internet, prefer CGI over cel animation. (Pfft. Conformists.) However, I will admit, hand-drawn cels have one major advantage over CGI; they make better use of color. You can really see that in the Haruhi DVDs.
In fact, there is a teaser trailer for Lucky Star on one of the discs. Although Lucky Star obviously didn't have the budget Haruhi did, that snippet of LS I saw on DVD was way more colorful than the . . . um . . . internet broadcasts I have seen. Miyuki-chan's hair was so bright, it nearly blinded me.
But yeah. I can watch Haruhi on my widescreen tv now. I'm so lucky.
By the way, why do I prefer CGI over cels? Mainly because CGI animation is smoother, and it makes better use of lighting and shadowing. If you've seen Kung Fu Panda, then you know what I'm talking about.

Question: If brown is my favorite hair color, and black is my second favorite hair color, then what's my third favorite hair color?
Answer: Pink. I blame Arche Klaine from Tales of Phantasia for making me gush over pink-haired girls. But I can't help myself! Arche is just so cute! Yeah, I know it's a fake hair color, but so what!? It's cute!
