Haha np, I pretty much knew what you meant. :P It's just that I really like the fact that anime is one of the few realms of pop culture where romance is not supposed to be solely the realm of female viewers, so it's worth noting once in a while that guys are primary consumers of this romance drama stuff too. Hollywood etc. can get a bit tiring with the romantic element = automatic girlification assumption. ^^ [/long-winded]

I'm probably going to drop White Album and Kurokami. With spring season shows starting, they just don't seem worth the time.
I may have to check out Rideback some time down the road. (lol get it?) Also, Mizuki Nana voicing both Ogata Rina in White Album and Ogata Rin in Rideback is confusing.
I am "officially" watching 10ish series for the Spring, DEAR GOD, what about the anime I was originally supposed to watch D:???? Oh well, Sengoku BASARA kicked AMAZING ASS! Valkyria Chronicles surprised me majorly this morning, I didn't expect it to be THAT GOOD (the art gave me Library War nostalgia also)!

This post, though it's a bit late to say it, convinced me to give Ride Back a shot.
I suppose if I don't like it, that's one more thing I can blame on Shin.

Buuut... neither Toradora nor White Album are shoujo at all. Like, not even close. ^^;;

Is it terrible/strange that I'm still considering watching Kurokami? Masochist? *shrug*
Wow, is Rideback gorgeous or what? I can't get over the artistic talent that went into that show.
I hope more people get out there and watch it.
Funny how I haven't seen any of the top 3. XD
