I was a bit confused how they would do the romance in Bakuman considering what hapend in episode one, but it has been working out. And the part where the guy was popular was funny, and way he wanted to remove all missconceptions was good. I am kind of hoping that they do some more romance.
So are you watching Shinryaku! Ika Musume, if not I highly recomend it as it is great. LINK
Hey if you want a currtent show that reminds you of your childhood cartoons, then there is Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, it's style is very simular to the Power Puff Girls, and the show parodies American things like Sex in the City, Dawn of the Dead, Transformers. Warning! Despite it's child cartoon like appearance it is VERY adult, the characters do very graphic thing, and they only get away with the swearing as it is done in English.
