so what are you following?????

......Nyaruko!!!!!!
is the hit this season. I also think Hyouka and Polar bear cafe are really good, and they're all different genres, I like this season! What else am I missing out on? Should I try that mysterious girlfriend x drool thing?

Also please suggest new/ongoing manga to me. My Bakuman just ended ffffff

I just finished Panty & Stocking w/ Garterbelt. I kinda wish I'd never watched it. What the fuck.

Going to start Nisemonogatari soon. In a few more weeks I'll probably pick up Aquarion EVOL again because it's best watched in chunks.

I think this season is pretty lame and I don't plan to watch anything current.

Also, for ongoing manga you must read Claymore. There is no other choice.

To be fair, it was a WTF-type show, from the first minute of the first episode to the last minute of the last one.

Marathonned Vandread yesterday and today, and, well, my MAL says the rest.

Currently playing... well, Rogue Galaxy on the PS2.

I don't really watch any anime, but I've been watching new eps of Kuroko's Basketball because it's one of my favorite ongoing manga.

I stay current with around 15-20 different manga series on my feed, but I'm quite behind on a few of them (notably Bloody Monday and GTO Shounan 14 Days). My favorite ongoing series at present are One Piece, Hajime no Ippo, and Real. Prior to a few months ago I subscribed to about a dozen comics series (all DC except for one Marvel) but I cut that down to just three to save money.

I'm a somewhat hardcore gamer that plays a little of everything (trust me on this one). Currently working on my backlog, playing Red Dead Redemption and thinking of firing up Persona 3: FES or Final Fantasy XII.

Hmmm Bloody Monday so nostalgic. I dropped it somewhere but I can't remember why :( it was a good manga.

>>28883
P&SwG was like a good change of pace, I really enjoyed it.
Also I highly recommend Nisemonogatari. Shaft and Shinbo's artistic expression is very catchy.

I'm halfway through it now. I'm actually pretty disappointed in it; Bakemonogatari was quite a bit better in my opinion (actually one of my favorite series ever). I've got issues with the dialogue, the portrayal of characters, the staging/directing, and possibly the storyline in general.

It's weird, Bloody Monday has spun off into three sub-series.  Falcon's a terrorist now?  I think?  Probably not?  Whatever, I'm at least 20 chapters behind.

Hmmm... lets split it up:

Video Games:
DOTA 2 (this is consuming most of my free time now =P)
I will be playing the Guild Wars 2 beta this weekend though...

Anime:
Eureka Seven AO
Fate/Zero
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead
Sakamichi no Apollon (THIS IS SO GOOD)
Sankarea (This is also really good.  I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I am) ---->
Nichijou (slowly getting through it.  It is so funny xD)

Manga/Comics: (I don't read much these days)
Avenging Spider-Man (basically a Spider-Man team-up book)
Batman
Death Note
Gantz
Naruto

I'm looking at picking up Tsuritama, Hyouka, and Nyaruko.  Any thoughts?

Also, I enjoyed Nisemonogatari in its own right.  It was definitely more fan service oriented than Bakemonogatari, but I still found it to be entertaining, even if Araragi X Senjougohara was almost nowhere to be found in the whole series. =(

Also Also, Panty and Stocking was a very entertaining show that is unlike anything I have ever seen before.  Therefore, I give it props. =)

Also lol I forgot about this picture.  It is somewhat relevant to this thread.

EDIT:

Also, while I'm at it I would like to plug DOTA 2.  It is a great game that everyone should play.  It is currently in a closed beta which you can sign up for, but will be going to an open beta soon-ish and will end up as a free to play game.  Also, it has breached the number one spot on steam in terms of the most people playing one game.  Think of this statistic in mind while realizing that it is in a CLOSED beta. Also, Valve is one of the best video game developers in the world, and they deserve your time and money lol.  This post...
