OK, TV watching types. Well, anime-watching types, anyways. I need some input. Aside from what's on Adult Swim, I've been pretty out of the loop for what's good in the way of new anime shows, and I need to start doing some research towards Sakura-con designs. So, any really good series hit the States in the last year and a half or so? And can anyone think of any anime that features masks or a masked character or two?

Bleargh. I keep meaning to reply to this, and keep spacing on it. Anyways, thanks for all the references at once!

With the Bleach series, any idea which episodes feature Ichigo with the mask? The ones I've caught on Adult Swim don't seem to be anywhere close to that storyline, so I may just netflix the disc with the right episodes.

The classic Gundam stuff I knew about, but I had barely heard of SEED, much less that there was a masked character in it- spiffy. And probably getting added to the build list.

And as far as Kakurenbo goes, definitely check it out- I own a copy personally, and it's up there on my fave animes list. Good storytelling (even for a half-hour short piece) and awesome visuals. I regularly do two masks inspired from this anime.

Anyways, again, thanks for all the links!

Glad I could help!

As for Bleach - I think the mask first appears in Episode 19, though it doesn't become a major storyline factor until waaaay down the road (much farther than I think the official translations have reached.)

Thanks for the recommendation on Kakurenbo. I'll definitely check it out!
