Black Lagoon is really good, I quite enjoyed it.

Aside from the current season, right now what I have on my plate to dive into is Mayo Chiki and the original Nadia series.

My Naruto fix has come back with a vengeance the last couple of weeks. Decided to finally catch up on ~90 manga chapters I've saved, which I'm almost through. Also, I've started watching the spin off Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals... totally awesome! The chibi versions of the characters makes things very entertaining. Reminds me of Super Puzzle Fighter

[obakasan]

Just watched the anime version of Iron Man (アイアンマン) series.

The Japanese twist was the higher concentration on the Mecha aspects, and a more Japanese viewpoint story. Interesting.

Finished watching Sakamichi no Apollon (kids on the slope) earlier this summer. That was fantastic. If only i had enough to buy the series right now..lol.
I started watching the anime Say "I love you" based off of the manga and it's pretty darn adorable. I'm also trying to finish Hiiro no Kakera but it just feels a little slow for me and not as interesting.
I did start watching beck and need to finish that at some point too. Been reading the Skip beat manga and i'm all caught up so far. I watched the anime but i must say i enjoy the manga more since -alot- was left out of the show. Normally i'm not that picky but the manga helped clarify alot more :/ Anyways, if anyone has any suggestions of what to watch/read feel free to let me know I enjoy alot of the romance/shoujo stuff/comedy/ slice of life kinda thing.

Anyone see the Evangelion 2.22 movie?

Did, on bluray. Enjoyed it for what it was. Waiting now for the third.

Depending on Rightstuf's BF sale, I may have more to watch soon but I sorely out of space for DVDs/Blurays. I need a dedicated library for it all anymore.

Watching Medaka abnormal. They cut some things out (such as the backstories for abnormals,) but otherwise it's a good manga->anime adaption.

So far the voices are on par except for Medaka, whos voice has changed.

[Ohki]

Just finished Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann recently (I know, I know, finally), as well as Another. I'll probably finish up Lucky Star or He Is My Master next. Probably He Is My Master, honestly. I don't dislike Lucky Star but it's left me kind of cold.

[Animexcel]

I'm currently watching Chuunibyou. Really liking it so far!

[Cherry_Wolf]

I'm currently keeping up with Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Sukitte iinayo, and Shinsekai Yori. I like all of them so far, but Shinsekai Yori is a little... weird.

I'm also forcing a friend to watch rewatching Monster with a friend~ I love me some Monster so of course I'm enjoying that.

I've been watching Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun as well! It's surprisingly good.I wish Mizutani would chill out, though. Jesus.

I just caught up with Hunter x Hunter and now working on Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

[Jang Hee Joon]

Umineko. Been playing the hell out of the VN and I think I'm about ready to watch it.

[DioxideIL]

I'm not sure. I'm really trying to get current, but I keep watching older stuff. I have never seen many of the popular current series at all, so I'm way behind. v_v

[sentinel28a]

Thanks to all of those who recommended Black Lagoon. It's very much a kickbutt series.

Has anyone been watching Sword Art Online? I'm considering adding that to the front of my list but kinda unsure...

I have a friend who's pretty fond of it and my boyfriend watches it as well and says it's like .Hack except not boring.I've been looking into it as well, but I haven't seen anything that's really caught my eye, tbh.

it starts out with an interesting concept, protagonist, and lots of potential...then begins to show cracks by episode 6 or 7 and eventually
fizzles out into a really bland series. i trudged through the annoying harem fillers and totally shallow episodes about haunted graveyards
and stuff to make it to the halfway point in episode 13, which seemed like a good enough finale to the show overall, but, apparently, it keeps
going for 13 more episodes beyond that (and maybe another season since the novels are on-going??), despite it already wearing out its welcome with me.

it was one of many shonen that started out solid, with an interesting gimmick and a story that promised to be interesting,
but after it hooks you in with a strong opening, the show just devolves into a steady stream of phoned-in harem episodes and
some really uninspired subplots; the main plot becomes almost nonexistent. i was giving it high recommendations at episode 3, but at
episode 13 (where i am currently in the anime), i honestly wouldn't recommend it anymore - unless, of course, you're just really big into mmorpgs.

the two leads, kirito and asuna, are genuinely endearing (and already destined to be over-cosplayed), but once the first few episodes are done,
there is just literally no story, and nothing at all even remotely interesting about the steady stream of fetch quests the heroes go on with an infinite
number of uugu kawaii desu oiishi-lette girls who lack any discernible personality and want desperately to get into kirito's pants.

@ninjajedi, i only saw like half an episode of the rock lee spin-off, but i read the manga version and it's actually pretty legit
whenever they're doing a semi-serious story.

as for me, the only new anime i'm for sure, locked-in, not changing my mind, gonna watch is the second berserk film when it's out.
i dig tears to tiara just enough to keep with it, but not enough to marathon, so i'm gonna finish that up pretty soon, too.

i recently caught up in the beserk manga, as well, and i'm trying really hard to catch up in hunter x hunter, which is good and amusingly
dark and nihilistic for a shonen. also, i just ordered the latest volume of real (volume 11) because that series is COMPLETELY amazing and
the official translation is really well-written.

plus, the current arc of ah!my goddess, which i'm reading, with keiichi in hell, the judgment gate, the demonic throne being usurped,
bell and skuld's mom being introduced, that huge plot twist about heaven putting a spell on k1's mind and body since the beginning of the
series and belldandy knowing about it and lying to him this whole time!...and then when they got sent through time and space
to live the life of an entirely different human/goddess couple?!! ..>.<!!! the current arc of a!mg is really good right now, i wish it came
out more often. besides those, the only other anime i'm watching right now is homestuck.

..it's not a bad show, just a completely average one--an average one with a strong start.

[sentinel28a]

Has anyone watched Freezing?

The concept seems interesting, but it also feels like I've seen it before...

Yes it was good. Very echi though. I do not mind =P

[obakasan]

Got some catching up to do on my "done" list I see:

Finished off (all on DVD):

Rosario + Vampire Season 1 (I have no idea who "Rosario" is supposed to be...)

Rosario and a Vampire (Rosario + Vampire) Season 2 ("Capu2") - They kinda left things hanging...

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa (re-watched - been a while...)

Strike Witches 2

Tattoon Master - a short 2 episode oldie that has a real real lame dub. Did I mention it has a lame dub?

Vampire Knight Season 2 Guilty

Fairy Tale set 1


Side note: Some of these are DVD/BluRay combos, and I've noted that there is almost always NO difference in things like bonus feature content. Some theatrical release movies CAN have differences in the bonuses/extras between DVD vs BluRay. "Brave" for example had a whole mess of extra bonus features on the BluRay version. In case anyone cares...

[obakasan]

Ooops!

Forgot to add:

Heaven's Lost Property Season 1

Heaven's Lost Property Season 2 Forte

The series is big on boobs and juvenile sexual humor. Of interest is that every episode had a unique ending sequence and closing theme song/music.

Spoiler

One even paid homage to a certain festival held yearly in Kawasaki Japan. Yes, THAT one...

[rondo]

Well, it most likely will come from the RightStuf 13 Days of Christmas sale. Most likely the next One Piece dub. Waiting on an order from Deep Discount to get here as well. Rewatching The World Only God Knows here and there. Think I'll pop in Ponyo next.

Watched Freezing, enjoyed it for what it was..but felt a little rushed at the end and probably a little more satisfied if it was more along the lines of a 26 episode series.

Need more anime blurays.

Just finished Madoka and Higurashi this month. Madoka may be the best anime I have seen since I was in school. It's incredible.

Next up I'll be watching FMA:B and/or Angel Beats. Anything to keep me culturally up to date and ready for ACen 2013.

[obakasan]

I guess I should add some more to my done list:

Daphne in the Brilliant Blue - (2 seasons worth plus the 2 extra episodes. I'm not going to ask how those girls keep those outfits on...)

Fairy Tail - Collections 1 & 2 (through episode 24)

[TaiyakiOni]

Watching Mardock Scramble right now. Excited to watch the sequel Mardock Scramble: Second Combustion which comes out at the end of the month.

Just finished rewatching all of Yu Yu Hakusho and now that Little Busters is done airing I'll be marathoning that after Christmas.

[Kii]

I just finished Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, Gosick, and Oreimo.I highly recommend all three, especially Tonari and Gosick.
I've started blindly watching Say "I Love You" because I can watch it on the Crunchyroll app on my phone. The art is really pretty, but I haven't watched enough to make a conclusion about the story.
Next on my list is Haibane Renmei, and finishing Natsume Yuujinchou.
