Anime Galore!!

OMG!!! Animax (channel 715 on Astro) is gonna air
xxxHolic
(×××ホリック Horikku)!!!
So super excited to watch it!! Fans of Clamp must watch this!!

Some excerpts are copied from other webbie... I am too lazy to think.

The plotline concerns a high school student, Kimihiro Watanuki, who can see spirits and demons. He enters a wish-granting shop run by a powerful witch, Ichihara Yuko, who agrees to grant Watanuki's wish to stop seeing sprits and demons in exchange for working as her hired hand. Her errands expose Watanuki and his friends to the diverse paranormal and metaphysical situations around them. The plot differs slightly between the manga and anime adaptation, but the general plotline is consistent between the two.

The ones I am currently watching:

Yakitate!! Ja-pan
Yakitate!! Japan (焼きたて!! ジャぱん meaning "Freshly Baked!! Ja-pan", the "pan" also meaning "bread" in Japanese). The plot revolves on Azuma Kazuma who is on a quest to create the perfect bread to represent Japan internationally. Now, he seeks to enter the famous bakery Pantasia, in hopes of reaching his goal.
Although the story has baking as its main theme, the parts that generate the most interest are the outrageous puns in the story. Especially notable are the "reaction" based puns made by the judges, who go to great lengths to prove a single point about the bread that they had tasted. The series in general also pokes fun at the shōnen genre's tendency to be melodramatic over mundane tasks.
Eh, when I read the manga I am so tempted to make bread from the recipes shown!! Are they even edible???
Their 'reactions' are so damn funny!!

Sergeant Keroro

Both the manga and the anime focus on the steadily deteriorating conditions of the Keroro Platoon, a group of two-foot-tall frog-like invaders from the planet Keron, who try to conquer the world, but fail miserably. The platoon's leader, Sergeant Keroro, is easily distracted, and would rather spend his time making plastic Gundam models and surfing the Internet than destroying Earth, much to the chagrin of the bellicose corporal, Giroro. Aside from Keroro's laziness, what most stands in the way of their mission is the Hinata Family, a trio of rather benign humans who keep Keroro busy with ridiculous demands and constant abuse, primarily from the family daughter Natsumi.
I like Tamama the best!! So cute!!
Their theme song roxxxx!!

This one I have completely missed the 1st half!
T.T uwaaaaa~ air it again!!

Kyo Kara Maoh! (God? Save Our King!)
Yuri Shibuya was living a pretty normal life. That changed the day he was dunked into a toilet after an attempt to save a classmate from a gang of bullies. Instead of just getting a good soaking, he's pulled in.
The next thing he knows, he's in a world that vaguely resembles medieval Europe. If that's not odd enough, he's told that he is to be the next Maoh, just because he has black hair and black eyes.
The Maoh is the King of the Mazoku, who are coexisting not-so-peacefully with the humans in this world.
Much to his subjects' dismay, he's totally different from the rulers they're accustomed to. He's kind, considerate, a believer in justice, and not willing to use violence to solve conflicts. Not exactly someone they want running a country on the very brink of war. Now, Yuri has to deal with trying to become a good Maoh, while at the same time attempting to adapt to this lands' customs and culture, all in a world where the tension between the humans and Mazoku is reaching its peak.
Alot of bishonen!! Nuff' said....
So many anime, so little time... I wish I have a TiVo... sob...
