Anime sucking lately

I've got Voices of a Distant Star here, but still have yet to watch it....I'll get around to it soon.

My interest in anime has generally been limited to whether I can be bothered downloading the entire series (if it has already finished) or whether I can dedicate myself every week to get it when a new ep comes out.

As far as Bleach and Naruto are concerned, I'm only watching them more out of habit now than anything, since I've come this far already.

I haven't watch a whole load of post-2000 anime, but the ones I have watched I really liked (even if they kinda fizzle out toward the end, or are so popular that they get old and annoying fast because of stupid fans milking it for all it's worth).
- Honey and Clover I & II
- Genshiken I & II
- Yakitate!! Japan
- Ouran High School Host Club
- Death Note
- Samurai 7 (I loooove this. Thought it was a great alternate take on Seven Samurai)
- Full Metal Panic (all 3 seasons)
- Azumanga Daioh (SO LOOKING FORWARD TO YOTSUBA ANIME!)
- Ichigo Mashimaro
- Cromartie High

Anime I really want to watch are Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, Claymore, Samurai Champloo, Afro Samurai.....I forget the others.....

I tried to get into Lucky Star, but just preferred Ichigo Mashimaro a lot more. It seemed to me that Lucky Star was trying a bit too hard to be cute and over-the-top slice of life thing, while Mashimaro has a really laid back charm I like.
I'm trying to get into Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya as well, but I just keep thinking back to the thousands of otaku fans who only love it because Haruhi's a cutesy bizzarre chick and thats the reason why they 'identify' with her. Plus I've been to a couple of conventions where literally hundreds of people are participating in the Hare Hare Yukai 'Dance Off' comps.....UGH.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
