Honey and Clover
So after I finished watching Deadwood I started watching an anime called Honey and Clover.
Yūta Takemoto, Takumi Mayama and Shinobu Morita are three young men who live in the same apartment complex and are students at an art college in Tokyo.
One day, they are introduced to Hagumi Hanamoto, the daughter of a cousin of Shūji Hanamoto, an art professor, who has come to live with Hanamoto and has become a first year art student at the art school that everyone attends. Takemoto and Morita both fall in love with Hagu, but Takemoto hides his feelings and tries to be a friend to Hagu while Morita expresses his love in ways that seem only to scare Hagu, such as calling her "Mousey" and constantly photographing her. Hagu herself, though initially timid and afraid of company, gradually warms up to the three.
The group comes to include Ayumi Yamada, a master of pottery who is well-known by her nickname "Tetsujin" (Iron Lady), who becomes very close to Hagu. When not at school, she helps run the family liquor store. While Ayumi is popular with many young men, she falls in love with Mayama, who does not recipocrate her feelings and considers her a very dear friend. Instead, Mayama pursues an older woman, Rika Harada, a widowed friend of Professor Hanamoto who runs an architecture studio she founded with her husband.
The story follows these five characters in their love triangles, unrequited love, graduating from college, finding jobs, and learning more about themselves. That was from wiki. It really is a good show. Kinda slow and about everyday people. There is also a manga so if you prefer reading manga you can also read it. Try it out if it seems interesting to you. :)

Deadwood
Hello everyone... Wow it has been a long time since I posted anything. :) So the only thing really going on is that I am watching the first season of Deadwood. It's ok... there is ALOT of language. I don't mind though because the story line is good. Here is a summary from Netflix: At the height of the gold strike, rebels and outlaws reside in Deadwood, a South Dakota town where everyone is looking out for number one. In Season 1, Wild Bill (Keith Carradine) and Al (Ian McShane) check out a frontier family massacre, a new gambling outfit and more. Deadwood makes its own laws to try a murderer, a treaty with the Sioux Indians is worked out and Calamity Jane (Robin Weigert) enters the scene at the Pest Tent. So that is the summary of Deadwood... If you don't mind alot of language and sex scenes then it is a good show to watch.... you just have to get into it. :)
