Just figured I'd add this. Got some news on a bunch of series (both classic and moderately new) which I've heard are going to be English dubbed in the near future (some this month it appears). I'm not a fan of all of them (such as Rosario + Vampire), but I do know people who are fans of those.....so I included them.
The list is up along with links to ANN (Anime News Network). I'll update as I know they are released.

One more week for new anime
That says it simply. The new season of anime in Japan starts in about a week. Some of the new series look very interesting.
*Ore no Imouto seems like it may be a pretty useful comedy about otaku little sisters who hide it.
*MM! makes fun of masochists I believe. Some people may also know it from the name Emu Emu!.
*Fortune Arterial appears to be vampire drama....probably somewhat comedic.
*Sora no Otoshimono Forte.....well enough said to look at it. It's the sequel to Sora no Otoshimono so you should watch that one first. It really is hysterical. It's also known as Heaven's Lost Property or Lost Property of the Sky.
*To Aru Majutsu No Index II I'm not really sure of yet. It's the sequel to To Aru Majutsu no Index so you may want to watch that first. It is also named Toaru Majutsu no Index which really is no change except for a word divided into two.
Next week they two of those start.....the rest follow after.

Ordered Chapters in Anime
The advent of this is both good and bad. It's good for file size......but bad for those of us mac users who haven't upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Why is this?
The only software for a mac which uses this correctly is MPlayer OSX Extended. And that is only with an extra binary installed......THAT ONLY WORKS WITH 10.6 (Snow Leopard) OR LATER.......NOTHING EARLIER. NOT EVEN 10.5.8.
I want these movies that are good quality. But the good quality ones all seem to be using ordered chapters now. I've started re-encoding them for myself removing the chapter markers. But this is only temporary.
Originally I wasn't going to bother getting the upgrade since all my software works fine and all. But now I'm actually going to scrape out the cash for an upgrade.

New Season of Anime in Japan is pretty damn good
Okay I have watched 5 of the new series so far.....and I'm very entertained from it. Here's a list of them so far.
Series 1, Ladies VS Butlers: Better than I expected. While there is nudity and such (more than most), it has a pretty good comedy element. Especially when the main character looks badass but is actually normal. While the some of the "elegant" other characters are seem to be that instead.
Series 2, Baka to Test to Shokanju: Funny as hell. Kinda mixes school life comedy with making fun of Pokemon. How can someone NOT like that. Anything that makes fun of Pokemon is my friend. It also makes me remember the old game Persona as it has some similarities.
Series 3, Omamori Himari: Seems to hold true to the manga for the most part so far. The "interaction" between the characters so far seems to really be comedic from "physical references" if you understand that. I think most likely will be worth watching.
Series 4, Okamikakushi: Looks to have a supernatural feel to it so far. Might include some drama as well. Can't make any real judgement call yet. Feels like it may be worth watching though.
Series 5, Dance in the Vampire Bund: The manga of that is VERY good. The first episode mainly just seems more like an extended preview, so I can't make a good call yet on it. But I AM getting good vibes from it. It is supposed to have a good feel to it.
Someone suggested to me as well to watch both Seiken no Qwasar and Hanamaru Kindergarten. But I really think those two will be rather poor. If you read the manga (and watch the previews), you'll probably understand why I think that.
Enough of that for now though.

Funny D&D videos
I don't know how many people know of the game Neverwinter Nights (a D&D comp game). Anyhow this is a website that has a comedy series that has been running for awhile. They've already done 2 seasons. It's funny to watch this story of 2 drunken idiots in a D&D style world (along with a claustrophobic dwarf).
