What anime/manga are you watching/reading right now?

As the title implies, which manga or anime have you watched. Or what are you watching right now?

I'm currently reading/watching, as my username implies, Naruto. But Bleach as well. I'm reading and watching a lot more, like Love Hina, Comic Party Revolution and Sora no Otoshimono.

And as well, does someone recommend some good romance animes/mangas?

Currently re-watching Higurashi. I'm also in need of a good, new romance anime.

Oh boy, you've got me started...

Here's a list of some that I can think of, not in any particular order mind you.

Clannad & Clannad: After Story (My all-time favourite)
Ef~ A Tale of Memories / Ef~ A Tale of Melodies
Myself;Yourself
Another (Kinda romantic...more or less... it's good anyway..)
Toradora!
Zero no Tsukaima
Elfen Lied (Manga, the anime was good, but the manga was far better)
Air
Kanon
Angel Beats!
Shuffle!
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai (Your tear ducts will be bleeding at the end..)
Rumbling Hearts
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora


That's just a few.. yeah, I'm a nerd.

I've seen Clannad, man... I shed some tears :p
Air and Kanon are al well from Key right?
Toradora, am I currently buying, just got volume one. :p
Zero no Tsukaima, watched it, but I have still to watch all the episodes.
(I've just bought a nice bed sheet of Angel Beats, didn't watch it yet. (It was the last one, couldn't resist it! :p))

And I think that a list like that is more than natural.

Nice list.
If you want some kind of different 'romance' I would suggest Nazo no Kanojo X (Mysterious Girlfriend X). I'm reading the manga from the start and since april the anime is airing. You can watch it on crunshyroll if you like.

What kind of different romance do you mean? :p
Well, it sounds interesting. I'll check it out. :p

Itachi wrote:What kind of different romance do you mean? :p

You'll see.

I'm following a looooot of manga and making a list of them would take me a while.

About anime, I'm watching mostly current ones. Accel World, Kuroko no Basket, Zetman, Sakamichi no Apollon, Uchuu Kyodai, Hyouka, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? Of the Dead and trying to keep up with Medaka Box.

Yeah, that's mostly it.

Rewatching Ef~ A Tale of Melodies right now. God, it's still as good as the first time...

Well, in my case, I'm beginning to read Fairy Tail and Zetman (Katsura-samaaaa!!!)
I just finished to read the School Days' Manga, I'm considering to get the game just to see if there is an ending that doesn't involve crying/dying...

I like the funny ones too, like To-Love-Ru, and just watched Nyan-koi (I felt very lively watching it!)

For romantic stories, mmmm, I can only think in classic ones like Video Girl Ai from Katsura (guaranteed to cry at the end of the manga), a nice story like Kaikan Phrase from MayuShinjo (too much shojo), or the 'WTF' stories like ParadiseKiss and Nana from AiYasawa...
even if each one of these have an anime version, i recommend to read the manga...



I remember a friend who I showed the first Paradise Kiss volume, and she just got to buy all of them... until she read the ending! She Just burned all of them, and blamed me!!! Now to think, we are no longer friends... shame on her...

Somekind related, but I also remembered showing the SchoolDays anime to a liberal friend of mine... He just dumped all of his girlfriends, and focused on studying... i always though it was because he identified to the poor/damned makoto at the begining of the anime... and didn't want to end like him...

School Days certainly was.... interesting...

Aw, episode 10 from Kore wa Zombie desu ka was the last for this season. Totally thought it was gonna keep going till ep 12, like in the first season. I loved the last episode though.

And a friend of my and I, have starterd watching Rosario + Vampire season one. (Talking on the episode via steam.) And I must say, the first episodes are just eating your soul out of you. It's funny, but man... I don't know how many times I've facepalmed already.

Rosario + Vampire was nice. Lots of fanservice, but I wasn't complaining.

They decided to end Kore wa Zombie at 10 chapters because they are going to release some "amazing information" about it sometime soon. There is also going to be a 11th episode that'll come with the blu-ray in August.

Personally I'm waiting more for the Tiger and Bunny movies.

And about School Days... There ARE endings that don't end in crying/dying, but they are not as good.

Ah, but that blu-ray comes out in Japan, I guess? Still got a region free blu-ray player, so that isn't a problem.

Lately it's become really difficult to follow up all of those series. I'll have to cut up some titles... Though it saddens me to do so. Maybe those I already know what is going to happen?

If I'm not mistaken, Japan and the US have the same Blu-Ray Region Code (though different DVD Region Codes), so any Blu-Ray from there should work in the US.

Anyhow, I recently finished the Romeo X Juliet anime (it was great!) and am now watching Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Have fallen a bit behind on Sakamichi no
Apollon, so I need to get to watching that.

Yeah, I know. But I live in Europe, so that's bit of a problem.

And I have started reading Good Ending, well, up till now there hasn't been a good ending though.

My bad; didn't notice your location.

I really need to catch up on Good Ending, though. Stopped a while ago and I already forgot why.

I'm gonna throw Tasogare Otome x Amnesia in here too. It's a good series, the last episode airs next week I believe.

If you even remotely enjoyed Rosario + Vampire, I strongly suggest you try out the manga. It's so much better it's crazy!

You see, Rosario + Vampire has two manga series; one called Rosario + Vampire with 40 chapters, and the direct sequel (takes place right after with same characters) Rosario + Vampire Season II, which is still ongoing. The first anime season adapted roughly the first 19 chapters of the first manga, while the second anime introduced a few of the new characters in the Season II manga but went with a mostly anime-original plot (though a few of the episode plots are taken from chapters of the first manga series). Both manga (first and Season II) have less pantyshots (is still pretty fanservice-y though), but feature much more action, drama, and suspense. Tsukune in particular is quite different: In the anime he's a mostly physically weak dude with a strong will, but in the manga you see him gradually become a complete badass.

Viz Manga holds the license for North America and releases it over here, but I'm not sure about the rest of the world.

Romance? Well, Red_B recommended a lot, but something I particularly enjoyed was Boys Over Flowers. But I enjoyed the Korean drama Boys Before Flowers at least a million times more. It's not for everybody, but give it a try if you have the time.

That's a long list. Why not just post a link to a MyAnimeList page?

As for me, aside from the weekly series I'm reading Rurouni Kenshin (just finished the 8th Viz Big omnibus). I'm currently going through my anime backlog and am watching Shuffle! Need to leave room for the new Summer 2012 anime, like Muv-Luv Alternative, Dakara Boku wa, and Hagure Yuusha no Estetica!

A little late, but I'm finally getting around to watching the Kara no Kyoukai movies... and damn, am I ever impressed. The mood, the characters, the music... all great. :O

I'm finishing the third one right now... You guys need to check these movies out if you havent already <.<

Just finished watching Papa No Iukoto Wo Kikinasai, and I gotta say that I really liked it. I also bought the first two volumes of Omamori Himari, and I had already read a bit of them online (not all of the chapters, still have a lot to go). Gotta say I'm enjoying the manga.
