Currently watching the hilarious, yet bizarre anime "Sakigake! Otokojuku!" (Charge! Boy's School!):
--- Quote from: http://blogofthenorthstar.com/2011/10/13/terrific-shonen-jump-anime-that-isnt-even-40-episodes-long-sakigake-otokojuku/ ---Sakigake!! Otokojuku is a parody of Japanese nationalism and machismo. Teenage delinquents built like brick shithouses enroll into an exaggerated old-fashioned school that extols the virtues of guts and battle prowess. As it goes along, Sakigake!! Otokojuku quickly becomes a more serious action series, which happens often with Shonen Jump properties (Kinnikuman and Dragon Ball, for example). And just as the original Sakigake!! Otokojuku manga resembles Tetsuo Hara’s style, the anime version has a lot of the staff that worked on FotNS. The results are as you’d expect: badass.
How do I love this anime, let me count the ways. First of all, I could take testosterone supplements for the rest of my life and never come close to possessing the characters’ gravelly baritone voices. Banjou Ginga voices an American police academy student who boxes (Ginga also voiced another 80s anime blonde you might know, Souther (from Fist of the North Star), as well as other obscure anime characters).
The baldheaded principal of the Otokojuku school, Heihachi Edajima, is voiced by none other than the recently departed Daisuke Gouri. Gouri was another FotNS alumnus, most notably voicing Uighur, warden of the Cassandra prison complex. Edajima is one of the most iconic characters in this anime, and he’s a man of few words, responding to nearly every situation by shouting “I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI,” and nothing else...

As a result of watching this show, make sure you use the line, “I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI,” every time anyone asks you a question. It will be funny no matter what.

I'm currently watching Ergo Proxy...I'm not sure what my feelings on it are, but it's starting to feel like a Evangelion/Rahxephon type show and I honestly could care less for shows with philosophical undertones. I'm much more into dark stories/adventure ones, that said it kind of has those, but so did Evangelion and Rahxephon.
Sinjo:
Oh man. I just finished Redline. That was a brilliant animation. Great music too.
