All I've had time for lately, alas, is .Hack//Roots and Tsubasa. But I've been enjoying them immensely.
Gurren Lagann by far if only for Lord Genome.
(The whole thing is gar as fuck, but 3:30 onwards is the most badass thing in the history of anime.)
Yes, the ending of the show was a bit... subpar, but honestly. It's like people who complain about the ending of Cloverfield, even though J. J. Abrams is right there in the credits for all to see.. What part of "Gainax" did the complainers not get?
[/rant]
anyway, as for other stuff, the critical consensus is that Code Geass is the best anime of the year. I agree with that. I would also like to add that if you hate Gundam in general or Gundam Seed specifically, it is quite possibly the best aniime ever made. (episode 22 comes to mind...)
On the non-mecha front, Wolf and Spice (or whatever they've translated it as this week) is excellent.
