What happened to Haruo and Ayumi to put a curse on her?

Generally, it is believed that Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) wrote two books about Alice. However there is another Alice book, "Endless Alice". Somehow, the pages of the books were taken apart and they are lying in girls' minds.

Kirihara Aruto likes Alice books very much, and he likes to imagine his own Alice. One day, he happens to meet a girl flying in the air, and she looks exactly like his Alice.

Nerima Daikon Brothers
From the guy who made Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy. Based on the Blues Brothers and should prove quite funny.

Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror
This is taking over the same time slot that Honey and Clover and Paradise kiss had. So that should already scream big title. It's a Horror series.

Ergo Proxy
From the creator of Witch Hunter Robin. In a world where humans and robots live together, there exists a domed city named "Romudo". Under full management control, it is a paradise which does not need feelings. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Ril Meyer, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Board, is tasked to solve the murder cases. As she digs deeper, she is soon entangled into the mystery of the "Awakening", which will change her life, and the lives living in Romudo...forever.

The earth is covered with sand, the civilization of the human beings is declining, and the pseudo-human, "The Third", rules the human beings by their higher abilities. In this chaotic and ruined age, a bright but flat-crested girl will face up to the mystery of the world wielding her sword.

Ergo Proxy is the big one for me. I don't have time to watch much anime, so I'll probably only keep up with that...if it lives up to the trailers, it's gonna be fantastic.

What Otsuka said. Buu, I want opinions on Ergo Proxy as soon as you see it, so I know if it's worth checking out or not. Once Naruto finishes its filler, I'll already be busy enough with that, Eureka 7, and Bleach, so I'll be too busy for any more than one new one.

my imagination or was Kashimashi ~Girl meets Girl~ actually in the new season fron Sep oct 2005?
Fate/stay night seems pretty good and the other one of 6 episodes will be such a tragic soap opera that will end up with both dying under some warm-hearty poem and everybody crying b/c tehy died (well so I think^^')

Lemon Angel Project 1
I like. Lets hope they keep it up.

Kashimashi ~Girl meets Girl~ 2
Well, i like the concept so far, and i can't wait to see the rest. but i'm probably setting myself up for a dissapointment

I watch the first two episodes of Fate/stay night and I loved it. The only one that really caught my eye was Ergo Proxy. I might watch a few others.

I just watched the first 2 episodes of Fate/Stay Night. I have no idea why this series is hyped up so much. I didn't find it all that great. It wasn't bad but it defiantly wasn't any thing special. It must get better as time goes on or some thing. But for now I'm not going to continue with it.

Ergo Proxy. saw the first episode. ****ing awesome. Love it to death. lets hope it stays in the same pace.

Fate/Stay Night 5 and 6 also made the anime that much more interesting.

REC was pretty good for a short episode.

Binchou-Tan episode 1 was really. cute. yeah. that's it.

Rescue Wings was also pretty awesome.

No one is subbing Funny Pets. It's a CGI children's anime. So most people that watch fansubs ain't interested in it.

I'll just wait for the subbed Ergo Proxy episode.

Just watched it then. Holy crap that was unreal. The animation was some of the best animation I've ever seen in a TV series. Shocked

It was very dark and interesting being placed in the far future. Them Proxy creatures look really cool aswell. This is a must watch.

Was your one subbed by someone who doesn't speak English very well? It was done by the "jelly caption squad" I believe. It annoyed me so much I couldn't watch it.

Yeah, I got the jelly caption squad sub. It was fine, just lots of random spaces. I was kinda emersed in the animation to notice any errors. But there is another release.
