[Dark Dragon]

I am watching Gurren Lagann, years after it became popular (heck, years after it became unpopular again). I'd never bothered with mecha animes ever, and tbh hadn't even heard of it until like october. It's actually pretty good lol

YOUR DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS
Yeah, Gurren Lagann is what I'm watching. Also, I'm not sure if Bo bo bo bo bobo counts, but it's hilarious.

Black Rock Shooter.

A strange little OVA that didn't make much sense at first. It was mainly about these two girls, Mato and Yomi, who become friends at school and how their friendship progresses. It felt like that first part dragged on forever, and the only consolation was a few fighting scenes between two girls in a different dimension thing. The second half of this story speeds up when a new girl appears and takes away Mato's friendship with Yomi. Over time, Yomi gets jealous that she becomes posessed by a demon lord and disappears. By the end of this OVA, everything still isn't clear. I noticed Black Rock Shooter is adapting an anime series this year, so hopefully it will explain more things if I ever get around to watching it.

Hidan no Aria.

This anime was pretty much team vs team based with historic references, along with humour and tons of guns and other weaponry. The plot itself is weak though, it covers the first three volumes of the manga, so the anime certainly felt rushed and unjustified.

Highschool of the Dead.

Extreme fanservice. Not gonna lie. It's no surprise a guy friend of mine recommended this anime to me. Action, apocalyptic setting, drama, females with big stuff, guns, zombies... fanservice. I actually enjoyed the story and looked forward to how the characters would survive while the world around them is crumbling. However, the last episode was a major disappointment. It left you hanging there, what do the survivors plan on doing next? And I don't think there will be another season or continuation anytime soon. PS: HOTD had an awesome opening song.

Watching a few of the currently airing shows, just going to reccomend a few people should watch.

Natsume Yuujinchou: Currently airing its 4th season, relaxing show about a boy who is left out because he sees Yokai. Really relaxing really enjoyable. More episodic, but watch the first 3 series first. Only 13 eps each.

Kill Me Baby: Comedy about an assassin, a ninja and an ordinary schoolgirl. What more do you need? Also, the OP and ED will be stuck in your head for weeks.

Thermae Romae: Just finished, only 6 10mins episodes, but one of the funniest things I've seen for a while. It's about a Roman who manages to transport to modern Japan, and tries to bring their bathing culture into ancient Rome.

Nisemonogatari: You need to have seen Bakemonogatari first for it to make any sense (not that it does anyway) but this is one of those strange series that you like, but don't know why.

One more:

Gintama: Long series (original run went for 201 episodes, 43 through this one), but this is the funniest show you will see for a while. Slightly dirty humour at times, but not more in a stupid kind of way, but also satirical, and can be serious when it needs to. Been watching since it restarted last March on Crunchyroll, and it brightens up my Mondays.

Watching more than just them (watching shows like Another, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Guilty Crown, Phi Brain, Aquarion, Brave 10, Moretsu Pirates, Hunter x Hunter 2011 ect.) but, aside from Gintama, all the showe I've put above are all new shows that started this season, and the top new shows too. 

Also, just to be controversial, the Persona 4 anime was boring, and I stopped watching (eventually) at episode 10. Couldn't take any more.

Also, Skylands, just so you know every Black Rock Shooter piece of media (games, OVA ect.) has a different story, and after watching episode 1 (which I really quite liked) it definitely is a different story again.

Durarara

I'd heard of this anime a while back but never really cared to take the time to see what it was about. However after seeing an AMV about it I grew interested and watched it... and I must say, it's suddenly amongst my top favourite anime LOL. There's 24 episodes and I think I finished it in 3 days (probably would've finished it in 2 days if it wasn't for college forcing me to go to sleep each night xD).

I also chose to watch the English dub for a change instead of Japanese with subtitles, and I think the voices suited the characters really well. :3

THE iDOLM@STER.

Pretty much K-On!, with 12 or so more girls. I wasn't a big fan of K-On! in the first place, but this could possibly be worse. The episodes consisted of the characters goofing off mostly, not much of a story. The fact I've deterred away from moe-like series could also be why I don't enjoy watching things as such anymore.

That being said, I can't help but notice how much Hibiki Ganaha resembles Kyoko. Cough, the hairstyle and fangs.
