I'm waiting to start watching Samurai Champloo--got to have some anime in reserve for the summer, after all--but I've heard such raves that it's difficult to hold off!
Bleach--I tried the manga, and was kind of eh about it. However, I tend to find anime more accessible early on, so watching might change my mind.
Monster--I just started watching this a week ago, and I am already so in love with it that I can barely pimp it. Am madly downloading more episodes.
As for the others, I haven't tried them yet, but I'll be on the lookout! I'd like to recommend Gankutsuou to you: it's a retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, but the count is a blue vampire with an earring and a penchant for wearing black clothes with flames up the arms. It's unbelievably gorgeous, though the opening and closing songs are horrifically bad, and I'd rec it for the art alone, though I think their adaptation is intriguing. I've never seen any anime quite like it.
Am also watching Mirage of Blaze (not sure what I think yet), Witch Hunter Robin (ditto), Wolf's Rain (love beyond expression), FMA (slowly, so as to savor it), and of course, Hikaru no Go. For the third time. The sacrifices I make to share it with the world, man.
Thanks for the recs! I'll have to let you know what I think of Whistle! Also, LOVE the Dr. Tenma icon. Must get one of my own.
