I'm now 13 episodes into Beelzebub... I've somehow gotten into the habit of watching one episode a day, like some sort of anime advent calendar. :p:

Hopefully I'll be able to watch a bit more than that over this weekend though, as I've not got many other plans. :beard:

Still loving it so far!

Whilst on the subject... halfway to Christmas, and I've not heard any opinions on the secret santa series I gave out. :hmmm:

*whips everyone who signed up, so as not to give away their identity* :whip:

Finished watching 1 of my secret santa (about time) and it was Hataraku Maou-sama. It's mainly a comedy and fantasy type anime and to be honest I actually enjoyed it. The show has great characters, a nice plot and it's been executed well. My main problem with the show is that the actual story behind it hasn't progressed as much as I'd like to have hoped and so I have quite a few questions that need to be answered. All in all, I'd say it's definitely worth a watch.

As with my varying interest, I haven't watched any anime in the past few weeks. :emo:

Sorry if my Secret Santa was wanting to see my opinion on the anime he/she gave me.

I'll try B oku-wa-Tomodachi-ga-Sukunai tomorrow. :smile:

Hmm, you've watched most of the obvious ones that sprang to mind... maybe one of the following? They all made my top 50 anime. :yes:

Shin Sekai Yori

Le Portrait de Petit Cossette

Bokurano

My local anime club has been watching that, and it's been pretty good so far (if you ask me). It doesn't have that much straight-up shock horror but it does a good line in a creeping sense of wrongness and in nasty, queasy situations.

How can companies justify the extortionate prices of anime Blu Rays?!...

It is nearly £80 for the whole series of SAO... (with NUS discount, £73.11)...
Blue Exorcist is slightly more reasonable at £47.13 (with my NUS discount), which is just under £2 an ep. as expected.

Although, I managed to buy FMAB for less than £50... (64 eps...),much more reasonable pricing...

See what?
FMAB?

I bought half of the series from play.com and the other half from amazon.
Saved myself about £10 that way round. :smile:

When I bought the series, I could buy the second half of the series for £28.25
I bought the first half of the series from play.com at £24.20

Add these together and it comes to £52.45
Taking into account my NUS discount, this reduced the price to JUST below £50 (£49.83).

EDIT:
My grammar was terrible and thus it was compulsory I amend it...

I've finally managed to watch Durarara!!

Shizuo is really...cool.

Has the magi series improved somewhat? I watched it last time and certainly didn't think it was 'bad' by any means, but I can't bring myself to start on the second season...

I wouldn't say it's improved at all (yet), though it hasn't gotten any worse either IMO. It's stayed fairly consistent. :yes:

Entertaining each week, but far from the best thing I'm watching.

Just finished Another as I was craving some horror and it looked fairly interesting. It was quite unexpected.

Spoiler

Overall a decent horror, has an effective way a inducing fear which aren't cheap jumpscares at every corner and it keeps suspense high. Worth a watch if you want to see a horror.
