2008 anime recommendations thread

Some anime that I need to mention...
2nd Evangelion movie (Evangelion 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance) is awesome! It's a lot different than the original, definitely more exciting than 1.11 (which is mostly a recap) and Mari is a badass.

Oh, yeah! I just got around to watching that last week. It is absolutely nuts. Lots of crazy shit happening, and it's diverged quite a bit from the series. The animation is just blisteringly gorgeous. They've moved things along so quickly, it's hard to believe we're only at the half-way point. Can't wait for 3.33.

Drrr is definitely good... but it started airing in the winter... Started kinda slow and a bit confusing, but still charming enough to made me watch it until the interesting part came.
From the winter season, along with Drrr I like Ladies Vs Butlers (ecchi comedy harem anime with great animation), Baka to Test (comedy with some ecchi bits, but mostly a good fun), Hanamaru Kindergarten (teacher and a bunch of kindergarten kids), Dance in the Vampire Bund, Qwaser (breast sucking anime?), Sora no Woto (comedy with some drama.. some episodes are good, some are boring.. but the last arc was nice).

I tend to avoid writing too much about continuation and sport. Kuroshitsuji, K-On!!, Sengoku Basara Two should be good if you like the previous one. Probably football (soccer) fans should watch Giant Killing (it's a normal football... you won't see tiger shot or anything like that :P Very good btw).

The Legend of the Legendary Heroes turns out to be more serious than the first episode indicate... It should still be good or even better.
Seitokai Yakuindomo jokes getting more perverted :)
Asobi ni Iku yo!... from the cover it looks like your regular ecchi anime with cat girl... turns out it's an ecchi anime with cat girl but with a surprising twist.

Finally got a chance to check out Occult Academy. First couple episodes were very good. The 4th episode however leaves me wondering if this will actually end up being a good anime.

One thing I really quite like about it is the way they use facial expressions. :) It's one of those things where a picture is worth a million words.
