General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[MexicanAnime]

As you guys can tell by my username, I'm a pretty big anime fan. Why not make a thread to help contain it all in?

Truth me told actually, I recently just had a break from anime as there was a list of video games that I wanted to tackle, and decided that I could use a break from the medium and do something different. However, I have started watching some anime again and will hopefully catch up with the Winter shows I watch watching before I stopped.

At the moment, I recently started Katanagatari which has been quite a treat so far. It has a style that interests me and the animation is pretty fluid as it gives off this very "cool" vibe. Matched with an interesting mix of jazz and hip hop for part of the OST, it becomes very enjoyable to watch and listen to.

The characters themselves I quite like as the main two have some interesting chemistry and fun dialogue that I like between the two. One praise that I must give to one of the main characters is that even though he's sort of an idiot due to the fact that was isolated with only his family, they don't exaggerate on that one character trait and make it his whole character like some others shows do.



As far as manga goes, I tend to go off and read a couple chapters of Black Jack here and again. I love his morals and how he just isn't a "Help anyone for free!" type of main character. That matched with Tezuka's usually sillyness (though he is known to dive into dark works such as some of Black Jack and MW) with the other characters makes it a joy to read.



So what of you? Use this thread to talk about any anime/manga you're watching/reading, favorite anime/manga, etc.
