I can definitely recommend it, it's different to most shonen in that it's more strategic and psychological than other shonen. There's not that many fights and when it does focus on them, they're over quickly and are strategy based. Just a heads up, the start is kind of slow, but if you get through it and make it to the Yorknew arc, that's when it gets really good, especially the Chimera Ant arc (current arc).Madame_le_Flour said:

Knights of Sidonia- Enjoying this one quite a bit. Kinda feels like an Attack on Titan/Battlestar Galactica crossover.
Hitsugi no Chaika- as others have mentioned, cool characters, good action.
No Game No Life- It's okay. Really like the action and the games, don't like the fanservice and that it's pretty much just otaku wish-fulfillment. I hope it gets darker, but I don't really see it happening yet.

Aria - Probably my main go-to anime just to relax and wind down. Requires a fairly high tolerance of sweetness, but I love it anyway. Sometimes it's nice to just let your cynicism drift away for a while.
Hellsing Ultimate - Finished the manga recently, so re-watching in the light of that. Still glorious and OTT.
Nana - Watching, but kind of on hold after a certain decision three quarters of the way through the series. Great stuff, but hard to restrain the urge to slap someone.

Stick with it.They explain the whole reset thing in the start of Kai and you may get spoiled if I give you the gist of it.necromanzer52 said:
I haven't watched Madoka Magica but im sure Higurashi is a good choice if you like psycho anime.Normally the few episodes of an arc 1-2 maybe 3 are light and fluffy followed quickly after by death and despair.There are a bunch of psycho moments which are all pure gold.I red something about it that I liked "Higurashi is an awesome story about a boy named Keichi and his friends who play games,do activities,form strong bonds and Oh god why are they brutally murdering each other ?!Sgt.

Not watching any at the moment because Dark Souls 2, but my most recent shows were:
Bakemonogatari(and follow up series): Good enough to put into my top ten list. But damn, that fan service...
Darker than Black: Great action show that does what a good action show should: tell a concise story within a single season(then follows it up with a completely forgettable 2nd season with a story no one cares about).
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Sort of a "prequel" to the Muv-Luv visual novels, albeit in a completely different genre. Just for people that track such things, that makes the Muv-Luv universe go from romance/drama(Kimi ga Nozomu Eien), to comedy(Akane Maniax) to romantic comedy(Muv-Luv Extra) to mecha/military comedy/drama(Muv-Luv Unlimited) to mecha/military action/drama epic(Muv-Luv Alternative). It's a fairly inclusive series.
I'm not sure when I'll get back to watching anime, because when I get done with Dark Souls 2, I've got a couple of visual novels I want to read(most notably, the Umineko series). I also need to finish the Ar Tonelico games.

I'm retreading some old-school material in the form of Tenchi and Ranma 1/2. I finished Kill La Kill not long ago and want to see more of attack on Titan. I've a tepid interest in Magic High School and No Game, No Life. I'm not sold on either of them as they are hitting some, unfortunately, all too familiar territory. I might fall off of them and just go watch more Rose of Versailles.
One Piece-It's my favorite. The world, characters, I've never been bored watching it (except during the Luffy/Ace flashback mini arc, but I felt obligated to watch it out of respect)
Fairy Tail-I watched Rave Master when I was younger and enjoyed it and this seemed like a good replacement when I found it. And it is. Especially since it's from the same writer
Black Bullet-The description of this one sounded like Attack on Titan with giant insects instead of giant naked people. And it's awesome, action's good, characters are cool/funny, not disappointed at all
Attack on Titan-Even though I've seen all the show in subs, I've been watching the dub just to see how the voices fit the characters. So far they've done a pretty good job, though I admit I'm less interested since I know what happens already
Soul Eater NOT-As someone said before me (right down to the pun I'm about to make) I'm probably gonna drop this one, other than some characters showing up now and then it's NOT very Soul Eater-like and it's kinda boring

I recently started watching an anime series loosely based on Hector Malot's "Sans Famille" called "Ie Naki Ko".
Hunter Hunter is the only one I'm watching at the moment. I really like the story and some of the characters, but I find that watching them one episode at a time can be a bit boring or frustrating since so little can happen. I prefer to wait for a while and then watch at least 3 episodes back to back.
I haven't seen this one yet, but I just looked it up. It seems pretty interesting; I think I'll add it to my list of things to watch once exams are over. Do you enjoy it?Meko said:
I've been busy this season so it's not that many right now.
I am watching Love Live (just puts a smile on my face by being so easy going), not something I would say is mind blowing or great, but it's easy, comfortable and it makes me relax.
Kill La Kill and I am loving that.
Golden Time, not sure what to say about this one. I constantly have this nagging feeling that it will go to a dark place and I will get depressed by it.
Nanana's Buried Treasure. I am really loving this one. It just knows how to surprise me all the time and manages to have just enough action and interesting plot mixed with just the right amount of humour to keep it from being a serious anime.

Exactly the same as you.Sean Hollyman said:Also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders of course. Jotaro's cool but I prefer Joseph. Sucks that the fight we're all waiting for won't happen till the end
Watching it till the end so I can start the manga.
Joseph is one of my top ten anime characters, I like the way despite being older he is basically the same in stardust as he was in battle tendency.
I know what I'm saving up for now.
Having just bought Allstar battle I'll probably be reading the manga as well.
Old stuff... as usual...
I'm currently watching Giant Gorg, Panzer World Galient and poking at Captain Earth and Nobunaga The Fool.

I started reading the manga, chapter 7 Steel Ball Run because it was an alternate universe. The final battle was awesome and the Stands were creative. Was awesome!verdant monkai said:Exactly the same as you.Sean Hollyman said:Also JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders of course. Jotaro's cool but I prefer Joseph.

Magica Madoka - Just recently finished this. Currently have a love/hate relationship with the ending, but overall very impressive and nicely done.
Kill la Kill - Just started watching this. I'm about 3 episodes in I believe an so far enjoying the over-the-top action and fight scenes.
