Made it to anime club last night, for the first time in a long time. Saw three shows I hadn't seen before.

K-ON! - Cute fluff about four girls who start a band for a school club. A good example of its genre.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (So Long, Mr. Despair) - A very dark, eccentric, over-the-top comedy featuring an incredibly pessimistic teacher, an incredibly optimistic student, and the rest of their incredibly messed up class. Bizarre art style, good music, totally awesome.

Darker Than Black - Seems like a pretty typical urban fantasy / conspiracy thriller kind of story. Not sure if I like it that much, but I only saw two episodes so I'm not sure I've seen enough of the story to get a real sense of it yet.

Pretty nice group of shows. Personally, I think that K-ON was the most meh thing to come out of Kyoani, especially when compared with awesome stuff like Haruhi and Lucky Star. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei was amazing, it is indeed over-the-top and hiilarious and as I recall, a fairly clever bit of satire on modern Japanese culture. Not completely sure if satire is the right word to describe it, but there's definitely some commentary in there. Haven't seen Darker Than Black, but I think they were one of the first anime to post their shows online for free (admittedly temporarily) so that's pretty cool.

Haven't had internet outside of work for the last 1.5 months, so I didn't see the end of Endless Eight. I remember around 6, people were cursing themselves hoarse on the internet, which I found hilarious. I had the advantage of owning the light novel and being able to read the ending, so I kind of cheated.
