Yeah, from what I've heard, that's all true.  Maybe you were thinking of the original series, whose ending was almost quite literally a, "Hey, thanks for watching!  Keep reading the manga!"

Finished watching The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and I'm disappointed.

The series, by and large, was good. It had the right dash of silly humor. But the ending was awful. No plot resolution whatsoever.

But but... the ending to Tylor is great!
Spoiler:
They have a battle where both sides win! ;)

Plus, you know, there are OVAs...

Finished watching Yomigaeru Sora - Rescue Wings (5.8/10).

Rescue wings is a series without any real plot. There's no real character progression, and the story tends to jump between major (if you can call them that) characters and time frames with neither rhyme nor reason. The worst part about it is that there isn't any real difference between the majority of the characters' faces, which makes it difficult to tell who is who. I literally mistook newly introduced characters (minor and major) for the protagonist (if you can call him that) at least six times.

I will say this, they managed to do a good job presenting it, despite the lack of substance.

Question: Is there a Touhou anime?

Oh you still believe in fairy tales like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and free market competition principles?

Actually, there is. Not an official one (meaning: not written by ZUN, but then roughly 90% of the series merchandise is not written by ZUN), but:

Touhou Musou Kakyou, of which a single episode has been released.

The character art looks a bit sloppy, but that was intentional. ZUN apparently requested lesser-quality characters since the overall animation was smoother that way. Their original trailer had more detailed designs.

We get lots of Touhou in-jokes and a cool battle scene between Reimu and Patchouli, so that's good. And they hired an English-speaking person to proofread their subtitles, so the translation is much better than you'd expect. Also they somehow got ahold of professional voice actors, so the voices are excellent.

EDIT: TeamFourStar is back up under a different account, here. No videos up just yet, though.

That was kinda neat actually.  The seiyu were really good.

Well, they aren't really small-time seiyu, either.  ;)

Heard that the Unlimited Blade Works movie is being made. This should be interesting.

Can anyone recomed another good anime? Preferaby with a more realistic drawing style.

That reminds me, does anyone know the name of the anime with some soldiers fighting in the sewers with armor and masks with glowing eyes.

EDIT: NEvermind. I found out the name.

Ok, Jin-Roh (the Wolfs Brigade) is stunning and downright depressing. No happy ending here. A bit too heavy on the wolf metaphore.
