Regarding Rurouni Kenshin, as I said before, the manga is better than the anime, and the fact that the version Cartoon Network shows is cut makes it even worse. The anime has crappy filler episodes that weren't in the manga. Because of this, Season 1 has about three bad episodes for every good one. Once the anime gets into Season 2, which does nothing but follow the manga, then it gets good. That would be the Kyoto storyarc. You may argue that there are much better anime out there, and I'd probably agree if I saw those anime, but right now, the only anime I've cared to watch as of late is Rurouni Kenshin. I won't keep a closed mind or anything, but I've actually been more into American animation lately. (And I'm not talking about Superfriends or some crap like that, I mean things like Family Guy, South Park, Futurama, and Homestar Runner. I hate it when otakus automatically think of American cartoons as being Superfriends-esque crap. That'd be like me judging all anime based on Pokémon.)
But yeah... I've been more into comedy than serious stuff lately. The season premiere of South Park last night sucked, but there's always new episodes of Family Guy to look forward to in May.
And Shadow from FF6 is still cool.
