Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu is seriously the funniest anime I've ever seen. This makes me want to rewatch it!!

I'm very very very addicted to anything FMP! at the moment, Fumoffu was AWESOME (rewatch, yes!), I love the humor in FMP!, Sousuke blowing up his shoe locker after receiving a love letter is something I'll never forget. And Bonta-kun! Plushies that fight! :P
The Second Raid (third season) was so sad/angsty though - in a good way, but it was weird watching it after the funniness that is Fumoffu ...The light novel series the anime is based on is coming to a climax, so I'm really hoping there will be a fourth season. They are re-airing the past seasons in Japan at the moment - fans think that is a good sign that they want to produce another season when they have enough material.

I absolutely adore that Plath quote...

Me too, I saw it on someone else's LJ and just had to use it :)

Up! (The new Disney/Pixar movie~) You have to see it - it's really quite amazing.

If you're a Sylvia Plath fan, have you read Ted Hughes' Birthday Letters? I love Plath, but I think I'm actually a bigger fan of Hughes' work - but the BL collection is full of poems about his late wife, so... yeah, definitely a wonderful, wonderful read. Magic, really.

I also rec Higashi no Eden, which is this great new anime currently airing - the animation is lovely (same people as Honey & Clover!) and the plot is quite thrilling (sort of socio-political but still very charming/funny?). I think you'd like it! :D

I'm seeing UP! with my niece for her birthday, I have a weakness for Disney films :P

I have read quite a few of Hughes' poems and have had Birthday Letters on my 'to buy' poetry list for the last 3 years...I love Plath so I have always been very curious about Ted Hughes, plus I really like what I have read by him so far.

I've heard good things about Higashi no Eden from a couple of people actually! I've seen the icons around of it on LJ and the animation does look really good - Honey & Clover was one of the first animes that I watched, so yep, I'll definitely have to check that one out soon - after I finish the second season of Nodame!
