OMG, hi! Wow, you've been one of my, like, two LJ friends since early on, and I've had no idea who or why or huh? Nice to hear from you. :)
Paranoia Agent: Repressed personalities is an interesting thought. I'm already assuming that the magical talking Muromi is just in her head, but I hadn't strongly considered that Lil Slugger might not actually be a third-party. Hmmmm...
Escaflowne: I think it played just a little too closely with too many cliches for me to take it seriously, at first (even though so many people consider it a classic, so I knew it had to get better). As they get out in the world and the political and personal landscapes get more complex, the world is feeling more unique...like someplace I should really care about. The introduction of Van's backstory, giving Dilandau's lackey (Miguel) a bit of depth (before killing him off =P), the "suspicious" similarity between Allen and Prince Chid ;), giving Van some smaller character development in the way he learns Hitomi's trick of seeing the hidden guymelef's, so we get to see him being something more than just typical-angst-boy...Love it. :)
I haven't checked out the AMG TV or Peach Girl, but I did see the first few episodes of Honey & Clover at Anime North last weekend. I've been looking forward to that one based on an article in Newtype, and like it a lot so far. The cutesy little-girl-who's-really-18 has potential to annoy me a lot, but I love the other characters.
I watched the first five or so episodes of Sailor Moon Live when it first started, but didn't keep it up. I've been meaning to go back and get caught up some day...I definitely enjoyed what I saw of it. Having Luna be a stuffed toy was sheer kitschy brilliance. :)
