I love Honey & Clover, esp. now that I'm a college student myself. It's just so much more realistic and relevant of a show in comparison to most other slice-of-life shows, anime or otherwise.
I like that Eden of the East uses American VAs and uses black characters along with white ones (esp. since the areas surrounding DC actually do have a large black population from what I've heard)... most anime don't put in that kind of effort.

Yeah, I understand that thought, but then again . . . it's the first episode. =P There's not really a lot to spoil, at least from my point of view. Granted, I already knew what was going on in 07 Ghost (been reading the manga), but the only way I knew anything about Ristorante Paradiso, to even see if I was interested, was by going in and reading the spoiler tags.
Besides, isn't the first episode where they try and sell you on the series to begin with?
07-Ghost has started out pretty strong. I'm definitely going to keep following it. And of course, Higashi no Eden has me hooked. XD
And I understand the tagging business. I prefer knowing absolutely nothing about a show before watching it. Even a bit more detailed summary can take away some of the initial fun. "I wanted to be in suspense those first 15 minutes, dangit!" XP

In case someone hasn't yet watched them. I don't want to give too much away. I did more than summarize them, there's spoiler-type information in there too.

Wow. Here's my week in anime:______.
Haven't watched any again. Been too busy watching something else!
Beans are evil. Bad, bad beans.

There, I removed the tag for Ristorante Paradiso and narrowed it down for 07-Ghost. ^^
Yeah, it's a good show, not quite what I was expecting.
Bazinga!

@TimeChaser:
Yeah. *chuckle* Considering you tagged almost the whole darn thing. =D
I've heard about Ristorante Paradiso from you and Ryo now. I think I'll look into it.
I should also brush up on my cognates, considering I initially translated 'ristorante' as 'restoration' and not 'restaurant'.

Eh, perhaps I could tag less that I did. ^^

Just something odd that struck me.

Ehh, why did you spoiler-tag the series/first episode descriptions for the first two listed shows?

Yeah, I was annoyed with Maity at first 'cause I didn't want him getting in the way, but he ended up being a cool guy.
And yes! Finally! A kiss! I rewatched that scene so many times, man. XD

Yeah, looked like it, I saw English names in the cast list. It's still odd to hear though. XP
