Because this is a totally productive thing to be doing at the beginning of NaNo month.... ...but I frequently write better with some background noise, so at least a few of these could be simultaneous.

Anime I Want To Watch

• The rest of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
  
• Angelic Layer, which looks both adorable and like something that wouldn't require that much mental energy.
  
• Escaflowne, which technically I've started but I may need to rewatch the first couple.
  
• Revolutionary Girl Utena, for the brilliant subverted-fairytale motif and the gorgeous genderfuckery.
  
• Death Note, or at least unless I figure out whether I like Light well enough/find Light amusing enough to want to follow allong with his sociopathy. I expect it will also depend on how I feel about L. (Funniest thing in AMV Hell 4? The AMV clip of L singing "I Can Tell That You Shop At Hot Topic" at Misa. Ahahaha.)
  
• The End of Evangelion, since I've seen the whole series and might as well.
  
• The rest of Fruits Basket. (I've read most of the manga -- not quite everything released in the US, but nearly -- but seen just the first handful of episodes. Tohru is so charming, I love Shigure, and Uotani and Hanajima are the best high school friends evar.)
  
• The last Miyazaki I haven't seen: My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service.
  
• Ouran High School Host Club

Non-Anime I Want To Watch

• The X-Files, or at least until it begins to come apart at the seams late in the series. I really liked what I saw of the first few seasons, back in the day.
  
• Good Eats, always and forever

Anime I Want To Rewatch

• Azumanga Daioh (see above re: perfect thing to watch when working on Nanovel)
  
• Fullmetal Alchemist, with 2gouda4u and thegreatgonz. I need more Hawkeye in my life. (Also, if I'm gonna do that FMA AMV....)

Non-Anime I Want To Rewatch, all of which would probably also be good for NaNo, since a) I've seen them and won't get confused if I'm busy during an important plot point (also, I know when to look up for good bits), and b) I dont have to worry about trying to read subtitles.

• Red Dwarf
  
• Friends (when surrounded by people who won't break out into hives and/or feel obliged to flee)
  
• MST3K
  
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, because Indiana Jones Fights the Nazis never goes amiss.
  
• Chicago
  
• My selected favorite episodes of Babylon 5, which is to say Ivanova Being Badass, because really.

...Am I missing anything? Any suggestions?

Firefly how can you go wrong with a western/SciFi? Especially one with a companion.

[coraa.livejournal.com]

I quite like Firefly! (Though I haven't quite forgiven the movie, for, um, spoilerspoilerwoe.) Certainly my fave eps would merit a rewatch.

Certainly my fave eps would merit a rewatch.

Sign me up ;-)

RE the movie, I think I've successfully made it to Acceptance (the fourth stage). Apart from, er, That, it really is an awesome movie.

[coraa.livejournal.com]

Of course, now I have to figure out what my favorites are!

And I suspect I'll default to the lighter ones, like, well, Jaynestown. Because, I mean. Jaynestown!

All of Disc 3 is teh awesome.

In addition to FMA, I (and I suspect 2gouda4u) would be up for joining you for any of the following:

• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (which you presumably already know)
  
• Angelic Layer (ditto)
  
• Escaflowne (we have this if you don't)
  
• Fruits Basket (ditto)
  
• My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service (ditto)
  
  
  
  I would be up for Friends, Azumanga, Red Dwarf, and Indy as well, though I can't speak for 2gouda4u. Not that she doesn't like them (well, she doesn't like Indy), but we've seen them more recently ourselves (and I sorta suspect she may be getting Azumanga for Christmas, and might want to wait until then). I should probably stop hedging and just let her comment herself.
  
  I/we might be interested in any of the others as well, of course, we just haven't seen them (or, in some cases, heard of them).
  
  Sometime I need to get you all hooked on Battlestar Galactica, assuming 2guda4u's willing to put up with it.

Looks like a closing tag went missing there. Oh, well.

I also misspelled my wife's name (and doesn't that sound like a recipe for trouble when I get home...).

[coraa.livejournal.com]

But misspelling a much lesser crime than typing the wrong name entirely. ;)

Sounds good! wheeeee, plans. I'm a lot more likely to get through things if I'm watching them with people rather than just when I get around to it.

[2gouda4u.livejournal.com]

Uh... I don't think 2Gouda4U really qualifies as my name, no matter how you spell it. Misspell however you'd like :-)

I could comment on the relevant portions of the previous comment, but I'm lazy.
