Two words. Azumanga Daioh. Most adorable non-shit series ever.

Azumanga Daioh is a classic.
Also top-notch for humor and good vibes: Nichijou (Azumanga on steroids) and Ouran High School Host Club (a surprising choice but it's full-on fabulous and the laughs just keep coming. Also one of the few shows to consistently surprise me with the directions it takes). If you want something bite-sized, Tonari no Seki-kun is on Crunchyroll and it's a collection of 5-7-minute-long episodes about a boy who likes to kill time in the middle of class by messing about, as seen through the eyes of the girl who has to sit next to him. Reminds me a bit of me in high school.

Anyone wants to watch something that's flat-out batshit crazy, I recommend Excel Saga. It's a little bit of a stretch, but I'd consider it the Monty Python's Flying Circus of anime. You see the same cast again and again, and on the surface, it's just a ton of sillyness and goofiness and making fun of everything. But dig a bit deeper, and there's a lot of references to societal problems and issues in America.
I'd also say the same for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, although that show's a bit darker and beats you about the face and head with the morals, and if I'm not mistaken, it recycles material through some of the episodes.
I recommend both, but I recommend Excel Saga a bit more.

Damn. I watched Excel Saga when I was a kid. I remember going "the fuck?" With each episode.

Can't be as "out there" as Panty and Stocking.
I watch shows dubbed if I can. I know that's not the hip thing to do, but I hate having to read while enjoying a show. Besides, they're not mutilating the dubs anymore to completely change the story, like back in the Sailor Moon days.
That being said, PSG is the only anime I can recommend where you MUST watch subbed. Hearing English curse words belted out in between every moonrune is just hilarious.

Sailor Moon was mutilated not only by the dub, but the original never really followed the manga either. Crystal is better, even though it's not perfect. But I do enjoy dubs too.
Jedaite is gonna be voiced by Todd Haberkorn. SYMMETRY!

trying to find a dubbed episode 10 of Spice and Wolf season 1 is rather annoying. I am enjoying the story it is quirky in a good way.
So I saw the latest SAO II. Awesome as usual and no cliffhanger for once.
Sailor Moon Crystal. I forgot how Usagi seems to think everything is cute.
Caught the first 2 episodes of Akame Ga Kill. First episode blew my mind. Second was nice. I'll def keep watching.
Rewatched Digimon Tamers. Best season of the show. And something else I totally forgot that was awesome. Medabots. Damn, Rokusho was the coolest thing in the world.

Also started reading Pokemon Special. Thanks to the Adventure Red game sucking me in. I'm at volume 3.
Checked Naruto and was blown away. The fucking war finally ended. And the show is still fucking insane. But thank God it's over. That was just getting more and more ridiculous. They clearly had no real line of sight on how to keep the plot going and just threw new plot point after new plot point and tried to blow it all off all in one arc.
Also, Book 4 of Legend Of Korra starts next month instead of a near year long layoff . Yay!! Too bad it's the last season. Booo!!!

After years of waiting and biding my time I'm finally, finally, going to watch Akira tonight. Never seen it and have wanted to for ages, just never got round to doing it. Tonight's the night. Thoughts to follow...
The original dub, the re-dub or the sub?

So I watched it... and it's fantastic. Like really, properly fantastic. I'll probably watch it again in English sometime in the next week, but before that, some thoughts on this bastard (I'll spoiler them just in case someone hasn't seen the film, I'm nice like that):
Oh an before I forget, funny how the Olympic Stadium is being done-up in 2019 for Neo-Tokyo when the actual Olympics will be in 2020 in Tokyo...I'm just saying.
- The score is a great big honking, living, breathing beast, much as the city of Neo-Tokyo is. Both are fantastic, well designed and shockingly enthralling.
- Kaneda's bike just looks bad-ass, especially with the stickers attached. Everything about him screams bad-ass, and yet he's a loveable goof-ball. An anime/manga cliche for sure, but used to great effect here.
- I've had the somewhat unique experience of watching them film as a mass road resurfacing occurs outside my house tonight so that added to the atmosphere of the technologically shifting story.
- I've huge fears of technological advancement beyond our means and the potential horrors of things that we cannot possibly hope to understand. 2001 frightens me in the same way as Akira does.
- Then there's the body-horror. I love The Thing because it's almost tongue-in-cheek, machismo body-horror paranoia. The Fly though completely freaks me the fuck out and Akira did the same thing. Tetsuo's transformation is genuinly one of the most physically disturbing things commited to celluloid. Holy. Fuck.
- Also, his initial 'visions' when his guts fall out really bloody shocked me. It didn't make me jump or frighten me, but it made my eyes widen and draw an extra breath or two.

... holy shit, I'd forgotten totally about that.
You guys better keep an eye on the games.

Porn is okay here long as it ain't dudes.
So after binge-watching 10 straight episodes of Kill la Kill, I know for certain Satsuki Kiryuin is my favorite anime villainess of all time. She has backup plan after backup plan and it all makes complete sense.
Just look at that mean mugging bitch. She's going places.
Anyone else watch an anime and think "Damn, this villain is hardcore as fuck?"

I'm planning to watch this at some point Spidez. Good to hear that the characters are good.
I don't watch many of these things but Father and Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist struck me in a very "holy fuck what are they planning" kind of way.
SAO II: Big fight!
Sailor Moon Crystal: Big fight!
Akame Ga Kill: Big fight! The girl with the glasses died. Right in the feels.
