Gintama (as if that wasn't obvious enough already). I'm fully caught up with the old episodes, so I must heatedly wait for the new ones.

Or rewatch it. I could do that, but I don't have very good history with rewatching anime.

[xXtechnoliveXx]

Well i dont like watching overrated animes, you people know what those animes are... you know naruto and bleach.. not saying they are bad animes but if you really want to watch some amazing animes watch Another,Elfen Lied,ergo proxy.. they are not very well known and i think peeps here will enjoy them

[Nils]

I'm currently watching One Piece and I'm enjoying it. Naruto was good until it got REALLY complicated in Shippuden.

What is Samurai Champloo about?

[Seraphinox]

Literally just started Robotics:Notes

I wonder how it will turn out. I have the first 10 episodes downloaded, and have extremely slow internet here at home, so lets hope I don't enjoy it too much and watch all 10 too quickly and end up wanting more...

[Fire Blazer]

lol, that's some unfortunate logic you have to follow... "I hope I don't like it so I don't feel bad about not being able to get more quickly" XD

Fairy Tail will probably be on a break for some while (details are shady but it'll probably be back in a few weeks) SO I'll only be watching Naruto and One Piece for my weekly anime dose... it might be time to pick up something new though ._. so many suggestions have been given and yet when it comes down to it idk what I'd watch XD meh, if I really care I'll figure it out eventually

also I stopped watching Naruto SD: Lee Sidestory or whatever the crap it's called, it got too boring and repetitive :|

[Seraphinox]

It is unfortunate haha, but nothing worse than watching something amazing, and not having the next episode to watch...

Fairy Tail were changing animation studio was it? Or did I mishear?

Definitely watch Fate/Zero. The first episode is all exposition and is an hour long, but don't let that colour your opinion of the show, it gets faster and better. The first episode is just for exposition and explaining the whole show.

[Fire Blazer]

oh gosh

then I'll need to watch it when I'm in a patient mood lol

there's also like Code Geass and a bunch of other bandwagon shows ><

With Fairy Tail, I didn't hear that, my understanding was that the anime is too close to the manga so they're taking a bit of a break and changing the TV schedule and just showing re-runs and the such, and that they'll be back in a month or a little later or something. Then again I didn't really do TOO much research, just a quick google search or two, I don't care all that much, though I kind of hope they don't change the animators since I like the animation style of Fairy Tail, it's kind of one of the few reasons I like it, the quality of the animations is high IMO compared to like... well, One Piece (those lazy freaking animators for OP, urgh >_<')

[Seraphinox]

Thats why I never watched One Piece, when I saw the earliest incarnation of it with it's sluggish animation and pastel colouring. I vowed to never watch it.

I have only ever read the manga, and I own most of the books from 1 - 64 with a few gaps of about 20 books missing maybe. I love it, but could never watch it.

Code Geass is completely worth it as well, it's one of those shows where you'll watch 2 episodes thinking that will be enough, and then suddenly it's 4am and you've watched all 25 in one night...

Coming back in April.

[Shu]

WATCH CODE GEASS.

DO IT.

Right now, I'm watching Gundam SEED. Little over halfway through it, and I'm really enjoying it.

[Cero]

Oh man, the feels I'm having right now.

Just finished Angel Beats started watching it at 7 and finished it a couple minutes ago. Man, such a great show.

[Seraphinox]

I think Angel Beats is a bit schyzophrenic when it comes to execution, half an episode spent on somebodies harrowing past, the other half spent trying to catch a giant fish.

Yeah, the pacing of the show was pretty bad. It was originally supposed to be a 26 episode series but it got cut in half. Still think the show is great though.

[Seraphinox]

Hmm, It was meant to be 26 episodes eh? I didn't know that, I think that would have given the show the pacing it deserved, or it might have dragged it out too long. We'll never know. Either way, a fine show, the side characters made it, especially Tenshi, I really hated the main guy

[Cero]

I liked Otonashi. He is like me except more apathetic.

[Mercurius]

I seem to hear rather inconsistent reports about the episode count.

Sometimes people say it was supposed to be 24, sometimes 26, some people claim there was no such initial plan, and I never bother to check.

Psycho-pass.

Let's just say that three things sold me.
1) The fact that, once I'm done with it, I can claim I legally own it via ordering through Funimation (2014 sale date)
2) This post:

QUOTE (Seraphinox @ Mar 25 2013, 02:30 PM)

Psycho Pass Genre: Crime, Psychological, Philosophical, Detective Fascinating show that just finished airing a few days ago. Interesting plot with a lot to say about our perceptions of society and what we believe. Story revolves around a police unit in the future who are agents of Sybil, a system that uses scans and mental check-ups to determine whether people are dagerous to society or not. Things go tits-up when people who are unaffected by the judgings of Sybil show up and are seemingly immune to the law. Go watch it

3) The fact that the development held 2 tenants clear to it, both of which I love: The outright refusal of use of moe as development and the close holding of psychological writers to it (one key writer worked in both Evangleion and Madoka. I haven't taken time to watch Madoka, but I know how key psychology is in both)

I finished it yesterday myself, I had no idea a key writer from Madoka/Eva worked on it, so thats where a lot of the Monologues come out of, I see the resemblance now, even in the overall themes. You already bought it via Funimation? Nice haha

Glad that my recommendation got somebody to watch it

Haven't bought it yet, but today Funimation mentioned they'd sell it in NA in 2014. Because I, as someone who wants to stand on the side of companies, would require owning something if I see it, this is basically the green light for me.

Of course, yes, that does mean that I've already bought it...in the sense that the second I hit "play" on any video that my friends have sent me as a compilation of it, I'll be buying it.

[Seraphinox]

If I had the money, I would buy everything I like.

I have a good few dvds of stuff I like, but lack of money at the moment means I can't buy everything I wish.

Someday those Ghost in the Shell boxsets shall be mine, as well as the Evangelian Rebuilds in sexy Blu-ray
