I don't like mecha and felt that the "stolen mask" while being "unnecessary" was ten times more enjoyable than the other episodes. It's why I stopped. "I just enjoyed a filler episode... yeah... this is pathetic."

Hmm...
Kino no Tabi/Kino's Journey - Both the anime and the illustrated short novels. I loved this a lot. It had a number of very beautiful storylines and was dark at the same time.
Sword of the Stranger - Well. More of a movie, I guess. But the animation is so fluid and gorgeous. I thought the story was pretty good, too. The kid annoyed me a bit, but that's ok.
Baccano! - I've never read the novels (hoping to get a hold of the Chinese versions my next visit to Mainland), but the anime was great. A prime example of a story that doesn't take itself seriously, but I found it ingenious. The characters are all so lovable and full of life.
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro - Manga/Anime. Well. I like the manga better than the anime, but I found both to be really fun.

I don't have much to say about Code Geass. I've seen it. I'm not entirely sure why I'm watching R2, but I am. I enjoy it in small doses, mostly because I'm fond of the animation style, especially in the mech battles. The main character is a tad too... I don't know. Psychotic? For my tastes. Sure, there are some psychotic characters I like (Sai from Majin Tantei, for example. Or even Neuro. Or, I dunno. Ladd Russo or Graham Specter from Baccano!), but I think it's the combination of I-am-batshit-insane and I-take-myself-too-seriously in Lelouch that I can't quite stand.

I can't find the Kino no Tabi light novels anywhere. Quite frustrating. As for Code Geass, I watched around the first 8 episodes or so, and then I sort of...I dunno, stopped watching it....it didn't catch my interest for as long as it could've. And Lelouch's face looks weird sometimes. Like when

Bokura ga Ita? Never heard of it...I'll check it out sometime. ^^
