I haven't seen any of these series either, with the exception of Chi's Sweet Home, which I watch all the time with my little niece. It's so cute!! I'll have to watch some of these other ones though, especially Voices of a Distant Star, I've heard good things about it for FOREVER but haven't gotten around to watching it =/. Very well written post!

As for the others, people have recommended them to me too so I ought to follow your example and promise myself to watch them. In any case, happy 2010!

Most of the movement in the movie was in the characters' heads, so there wasn't as much to see in the movie action-wise. It was all art and symbolism. I guess it's a matter of taste. And yeah, Gankusuou has been highly regarded on a number of review sites and blogs. @usagijen, that link didn't work for me. :( I guess JR just caught my interest as one of the few "mainstream" BL series in a while and I am really hoping to find another in the genre other than Gravi that I can enjoy. The more I look, the more skeptical I get though. x_x Hm, I don't have many folks irl that will watch anime with me (or that I enjoy watching anime with), especially since I don't get to see my brother much. But if/when I do eventually pick it up, I guess I could try and get him to watch it concurrently with me so we could at least discuss it. :> Ah, I definitely want to watch Utena eventually also, but it wasn't made this decade, so I didn't include it here. XD You should definitely see PLANETES! :O @TJF588, that fits with my impression of Shinkai’s style after having seen 5cm/sec, though that was part of why it ended up leaving such a big impression on me.

Guess you can either enjoy it for the lulz, or you can even take it seriously like a <a href="http://scrumptious.animeblogger.net/2008/11/06/because-i-heard-people-are-hating-on-junjou-romantica/" rel="nofollow">BL-loving friend of mine</a> and still enjoy it (lol) Azumanga is fun, retardedly fun. I think it's the kind of show that's best watched with someone (better with a group!) who can laugh with you, or curse you for sucking him/her into watching it lolol. I also have Gankutsuou, Kino no Tabi, and Seirei no Moribito in my backlog of 'awesome animes to check out', among others -- there's Kurau, Planetes, Utena, Juuni Kokki... gah the list keeps piling up T_T Happy New Year!

It didn't even feel like anything, just kind of a string of words and pictures and then it was over (I remember it being short). Nothing really felt "happening" . As for the Count (I need to get back into mah Castlevania(s)), it was on Japanator's list of top 50 animus of the decade, so perhaps it'd be worth it.

I enjoyed Onani Master and Solanin a good bit. ;P I was never really sure how much I'd be able to get into Azumanga, but it seemed like one of those series I should at least check out once even if I end up dropping it. I'm now more curious about Xam'd though. Maybe you liking it less will mean I'll like it more. XD Hahaha, this is true. I enjoyed Onani Master and Solanin a good bit. ;P
