    I'm enjoying it so far. I'm getting a strong YuYu Hakusho vibe from it and I love that anime. It's a bit campy to start but that is expected. You guys creaming yourselves over the latest episode has me intrigued. I got a long way to go.

    I usually like to let the episodes stack up a bit, but which new ones do you suggest?

    Kind of hard for me to say right now lol. I do like:
    Nisekoi - awesome love triangle
    Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions - another love story
    Nobunaga the fool - samuraish mecha. Kind of reminds me of 'samurai 7'
    Nobunagun - pretty interesting. They take dna from past people like nobunaga, jack the ripper and combine them with select people that gives them special weapons for combat.
    Tonari no seki-kun: the master of killing time (8 min episodes)
    Pupa - haven't watched yet, but it seems to be a psychological thriller. Kind of like the animes 'another' and 'future diary'. If it is, then it will be good.
    Sonico- alright, still trying to figure out the story.

    I'm going to give 'usually, my sister is unsual' a couple more episodes before I decide to drop or keep, but it quickly got to the point of being a loli hentai.

    Can't believe nui tore up senketsu just like that. Mikisugi was hilarious when he was stripping in front of mataro and he was just like "wtf is going on and wth is wrong with this guy"

    Speaking of Kill La Kill, from personal experience I can attest that if you try explaining what happened in the Battle of Kobe to someone that didn't see the latest episode, you will die laughing. I'm snickering just writing this post. That whole thing made absolutely no sense and was completely hilarious.

    Nisekoi ends up being a harem show eventually... if it follows the manga.. though Chitogi and Onadera are the two main girls the whole time.

    Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions is just starting the second season... so I'd watch the first thirteen too. Season one is on Hulu, but it's hard to find the christmas episode. It's one that bridges season one to season two so it's good not to miss it. The series is really a cute one.

    I haven't added any other than those two and Silver Spoon (also a second season - I think both seasons are on crunchy roll though.)

    In case there are any fans of Gundam Seed, the new Sunrise show Buddy Complex is very similar. I'm not a fan of the Gundam or Sunrise in general(they're like the Jerry Bruckheimer of anime), but Seed was the one series I liked.

    Haven't really checked out any of the other new shows yet.

    Got a little free time to catch up on a lot of manga and anime today, which I thoroughly enjoyed. TONS of good stuff.

    Epically awesome ep of Kill La Kill tonight with a GREAT, action packed and beautifully animated rematch of Ryuko and Satsuki Kiryuin that was well worth the wait (episode was delayed today for some reason). By the way, I just have to give a shout out to the great OST for this show. Best soundtrack production since Fairy Tail and Attack on Titan. I especially like 2 cues in particular. When you hear this:
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/doFujpFdUHg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    You know sh-t just got real. And when you hear this:
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/aHTDBwiGbDg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    You know it just got EPIC.

    The One Piece manga is still continuing what may wind up being its greatest arc thus far and the anime just started into it as well (It weird how close this anime runs to the manga, but the 1 chapter per episode policy makes it possible). I can't say for sure it will top Marineford or Sabaody Archipelago, but man, the setup thus far definitely has the potential to take it to new heights.

    The Bleach manga just covered some very important exposition on main villain's Juha Bach's backstory, providing some much-needed answers and raising more than a few questions. Not only is he responsible for Ichigo and Uryu's mothers' deaths (along with straight-up slaughtering Captain-Commander Yamamoto) and kinda masqueraded as Ichigo's zanpaktou for the entire series, but he's also some kind of Jesus-baby-death-god? Wow. Craziness. For the past year this series has been on fire. REALLY hope the rumors are true and the anime returns to do this arc.

    Of course, you all know how incredible Hunter X hunter has been lately. Man, I am SOOO ready for Gon/Killua vs Pitou and Netero/Zeno vs The King. I have no issues with Shoot, Knuckles, or Morel, but I REALLY want their battles with Youpi and Pouf to end quickly and get out of the way. lol

    Hell, there was even an impressive double episode of Naruto Shippuden this week covering the backstory and creation of Tobi and the Akatsuki (imo the last great moment in Naruto following the Obito reveal, though the manga showed some promise this week). I'll admit it brought back some nostalgia seeing those old storylines covered from a new angle, though they may have resorted to using a bit too much old animation.

    Still trying to get into Space Dandy, primarily because of what Shinichiro Watanabe did previously directing Cowboy Bebop & Samaurai Champloo, but it hasn't quite grabbed me so far. A lot of good humor in it, though. Has definite potential.

    Now I just need to start Nobunagun and Pupa (heard good things), catch up on Log Horizon, Toriko (manga), Kuroko no Basket (manga, caught up on the anime), and never EVER watch another ep of Lately, My Sister is Unusual (had to see if all the hate was justified... It was).

    ^^^

    Pupa is only 4 minutes long, but gets f***ked up faaast.
    Completely agree with you on usually, my sister is unusual. How far did you get? I stopped after the first. I would've would've kept watching it if it didn't have the orgasming little girl.

    Are you saying harem in a good or bad way? Good as in 'world God only knows' and bad as in 'rosario vampire capu 2', I really hope it's the first one. If you've seen chunibyo and other delusions can you answer me one thing? When they "battle" it's all in their imaginations right? Season two was my first episode of the series.

    Stopped after the 1st one as well. Wasn't so much the orgasming girl as it was the shoddy animation/design, terrible writing, and low production values. Hell, even the theme song/intro seemed like a poorly done parody.

    Are you watching 'tonari no seki-kun: master of killing time'? 7 minutes of hilariousness.
