Full moon is funny. I've only seen a couple of episodes though. Really like the opening. Why aren't you supposed to be watching it FFF.
Also, on a side note, I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa FFF.
And if you don't mind adding me to the list Sanfan (or Matt), I'd like to be in as well.

The series I've watched recently was Kare Kano. It has cutsey romance, some very dark angsty stuff and lots of great humour. Also v interesting artwork that changes with the mood.

Honey and Clover or Kare Kano, I'd participate if it was one of those. Those are two anime series which I consider my favourites and among what I consider the best. I haven't seen some other suggestions here, sadly, and I'm too busy to pick an entire series up.

Honey and Clover has a live action movie FYI. I watched it a few weeks back. It was more artsy than comedy, so be prepared to think abstract. The artworks in the movie are really stunning.
And yes, the actress playing Hagu-chan (Aoi Yuu) is uber cute. I don't think they could've found a better actress. Found her "official" website here. Just about my age too, lol 
Full Moon is a nice series. The songs composed can pretty much stand up on their own as Jpop singles, especially Eternal Snow and Love Chronicles.

I want to watch Honey and Clover but there isn't an official English sub that I know of (fansubs only).
Wow, yes, Yu Aoi is very pretty.
I was wondering Roar, why you always spell things with a double 'U' - you do the same with Yuko in Whisper as well. Is there a grammatical reason?

JRR is correct. That is why.

Yeah, that's right. Also, many people use "ou", which can be confusing about whether it is "u" or "o", so "uu" is more obvious, differentiating between the two.

The same reason I spell "book" with two 'o's instead of one. Because that's the proper spelling. Like how I say Miyazaki Hayao instead of Hayao Miyazaki because that's the proper way to say his name.
She appears in Hana and Alice, another movie I've been wanting to see for a LONG time. On a side note, her acting in HnC was very impressive, albeit a little lacking in dialogue. Can't pass judgement for now, but I'd say she might be a very famous actress in the near future with her skills.
HnC isn't licensed to the best of my knowledge, but don't worry, I expect it to be.
Btw, IRC gets you anime real fast, you know  As does bittorent. It just depends whether you want to burn it on CDs or just delete them when you're done.

So the movie was good, huh? I've heard a lot of people say it didn't really capture the spirit of the characters and plotline.

Good or not, I won't be watching it until I finish the series. I'd like to read the manga first as well.
But anyways, back to the matter at hand. What are we gonna watch first?

ok, so here is my reasoning then. Going on those nominations, I think we should either watch Kare Kano or Full moon. Lovely complex is live action (not that there is anything wrong with that, it just doesn't seem like it's been licensed), Lucky Star only has a few episodes released, and Honey and Clover has been licensed (by viz) but it hasn't been released, so people like Saddletank wouldn't be able to participate.
So I vote for kare Kano or Full Moon. We can always get to Honey and Clover, Lucky Star, Lovely Complex, and many others later as they become available.

Drop Lucky Star. Trust me, it ain't worth your hard-earned cash.
I vote for Full Moon then, because while it focuses on her career instead of the romance (in the manga), it gets really good from middle towards the end.
@Theowne: They're right, it doesn't. Most times it just feels like they're trying to retain the feel of the manga/anime while still trying to break free from it. Like a clash of ideas.
Still, like I said, it's more artsy than drama or comedy. You really need to open your mind to understand the movie and appreciate it. One good point about the movie is that the director really allowed Hagu to shine through her paintings; you can really feel her art.

A lot of Japanese now spell their names with the given name first, family name second. The modern world sees it as the more helpful, less confusing way to do it. E-mail addresses especially.
But what puzzled me was that her own website doesn't spell it that way, ergo she doesn't spell it that way, so who are you to argue with her? (not being offensive here; I just wonder why you feel the need to spell her name differently to the way she spells it). I mean if my name is spelled Martin, It'd get annoyed if people went around insisting I was wrong and spelling it Maartin.
And since Ghibli were content to spell the name in the translations as 'Yuko', why do you see that as wrong?
In other words, we're all spelling it 'book' and you are saying it should be 'bok'.
Book is spelled book because that's how its spelled. There is no such word as bok. The sound is totally different.
On the other hand 'Yu' and 'Yuko' clearly work for the owners of those names.
Sorry, but I just don't understand your point of view when usage says different to the rules. Its how languages develop.

youre contradicting yourself
book as a double o because it is a distinctive sound. It doesnt mean you elongate the o sound.
I get your point with how she spells it and all, but.. The extra u makes the sound longer, abit like adding another one.
If Roar feels that thats the way it actually sounds, and the way it is most realistically depicted in Romaji, thats his choice.
I might realise that although everyone spells a name in one way,m spelling it in another (also acceptable) way makes it more simlar to the orignial phonologically.
