| Exactly what it says on the tin. So, what are you guys into/reading/watching right now?
Currently, I'm watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica and [C] - Control. I don't know why I do this to myself. |

| I just wrapped up watching Durarara for the second time. Great show.
Currently reading Bakuman, it's a strong contender for my second favorite manga series. |

| I've gotta agree with you there. FMA is a fantastic piece of work, definitely in my top six. |

| I read Psyren a bit back when it was preview in Shonen Jump, but then there was like a year of delay for the book's first volume, so I forgot about it.
What's your favorite anime? Us guys and gals with weird taste need to stick together. |

| Psyren is the one you just described, yes.
So what's you guys' consensus on Soul Eater? |

| The manga goes on longer and ends up being a lot better, trust me. Can you say... moon fights?! |

I enjoyed, Madoka Magicka, Baccano, The original FMA, and Fairy Tail. Naruto is good, but far to long and packed full of filler. I loved Ronin Warriors when I was in middle school I used to love Bleach, Now it just makes me angry and sad. But I think I hold Digimon Tamers at the highest regard. - acid wrote:

Yes. It is my absolute favorite manga. I could go on about it's positives, but I think sharing what I didn't like says more about it, that I can still love this series despite it's flaws. The ending arcs are rushed because it wasn't doing well sales wise so the writer decided to finish it before it got canceled. As such, some characters are underutilized and a main charcater ends up disappearing only to reappear later. - W!tch wrote:

I've only seen bits and pieces |

| Currently watching Revolutionary Girl Utena - the shoujo version of Neon Genesis Evangelion! (yes, I know it's an old anime, don't care. Quality is quality and interest is interest :p) Manga-wise, I'm on a bit of hiatus there, though I do have a lot in my "to-read" list. - W!tch wrote:

Favorite anime? I don't watch the anime version, but One Piece is definitely my favorite overall manga. For the less mainstream works, for now it's Elfen Lied (manga, not anime. Though the anime's opening is beautiful!). |

| I've been reliving everyone else's childhood watching some Sailor Moon lately (Only planning on bothering with first season, though) Also wrapped up TIger and Bunny recently which was good in spite of having one of the most obvious token characters to ever exist. - W!tch wrote:

Not entirely sure what qualifies as weird, but I take any chance given to me to mindlessly promote Steins;Gate. Because time travelling, plot twists, huge nerds and mad science means wonderful things in my book~ Very much in the what-may-qualify-as-weird category, I really enjoyed the Tatami Galaxy, Bakemonogatari is good if you like harems, pretty much everyone should know about Akira and FLCL, aaaaand Dead Leaves... is, er, a thing that exists. |

| Manga wise, I enjoyed Fullmetal Alchemist the most.
Anime wise, Ano Hana. Followed closely by Nichijou. Both are amazing at what they do. |

Oh God, Dead Leaves... Insanity: The Anime! It's even more of a G-Rated Drug than FLCL! |

| Soul Eater is great. The ending was rough, but yeah the manga marches on in a generally good direction, so it's nice to have that.
Hard to introduce new people to it when you know you'll be setting them up for a let down in the long run. But still, you do it because the characters rule. |

OMG - INSTALOVE RIGHT THERE BRO~ Man, Digimon was one of the first anime I ever got into, and even now I still have a special place for it in my heart~ XD I'm also a big Bleach fan, in case the name didn't make that too obvious. Some of my other current favourites include Helsing, Blue Exorcist, D Grey Man, Madoka Magika, and Deadman Wonderland. I've seen all of [C] for Control, and that was pretty awesome~ Haven't got round to finishing Soul Eater yet, but what I have seen, I liked. Right at this very moment though, I'm working my way back through all the Digimon series, as well as all the Zoids series too, and once I get through one of those two, I'll be starting Darker Than Black, which I've heard many good things about. |

| I'm really into anything by Mizukami Satoshi, especially Hoshi no Samidare/Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer. Most of the time I get into new anime/manga and lose interest in them by the time they get really popular. See: Soul Eater, Psyren, (Which is due for a re-read) TWGOK, Beelzebub, Ao no Exorcist, Kuroko, etc.
As a result, I never get to talk to people about the series I like until I don't like them anymore.
I'm obsessed with anything have to do with MMOs and virtual reality. Yureka, .hack//, 1/2 Prince, Moonlight Sculptor, Snow Crash, Heir Apparent... Whoops, I slipped off topic. Either way, it's a shame the genre is so limited. (And before you ask: No, I'm not into SAO. I thought the first season wasn't bad, but the rest had no tension whatsoever.)
Tamers is the best Digimon. And Adventure 02 is the worst.
As for current anime, I've been following Kotoura-san religiously. It's the funniest thing since humor. |

| I read Claymore, Trinity Seven and Deadman wonderland. I've watched some Puella Madoka Magica (Almost two whole episode before I started getting horrendous nightmares...) I also started reading Pokemon ADventures too! |
