I enjoyed Glasslip all the way through. I didn't expect the direction that it took, but it worked for me. I'll check out the other shows you recommended, sooner or later. I let go of my premium memberships after a while of not using them, but I kind of prefer to watch one show all the way through, rather than waiting a week for new episodes. I still have a backlog of shows to catch up on.

I just began watching One Piece today with my free trial for Crunchyroll.com. If you go to crunchyroll.com/LewToons you can get a free 30 day trial for many different Anime shows free of ads and then it's less than $7 monthly to continue using. PLUG!! !! !! !! Seriously though check it out if you haven't already.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have other Animes that I like like Elfen Lied, Future Diary, Spice And Wolf, Casshern Sins, Wolf's Rain, or Moon Phase among others.

Yeah they don't really have a lot of funimation titles which sucks. I was really hoping to find steins gate on there and was disappointed when i couldn't haha

Koufuku Graffiti is pretty great. Some of the art in Episode 3 seemed rushed, though. I hope they have gotten it back together.

A number of people thought that Glasslip lost what its direction was towards the end in terms of friendship, had little payoff, and became incredibly confusing with some sort of dimension thing.

Don't think I have talked about this much, but to anyone who is interested in how anime is made, I highly recommend Shirobako, I had the belief that P.A. Works managed to bounce back from Glasslip and make this show that is fun, educational, and some interesting life lessons.

Fixed by episode 5. It seems likely that they had a different studio doing the girls faces while eating, and the director couldn't get what he wanted before airtime in episode 3, but then worked with them to correct it. Sometimes, it's really obvious that certain scenes in an anime are done by different artists, and this looks like one of those cases.

Hey, Bradleigh, I suspect that the perception of a lack of payoff in Glasslip comes from the continuation of the story in the manga. I haven't read it, so that's just a guess, but I've seen the phenomenon enough times. I felt okay with the manga ending of Nazo no Kanojo X, too. It's just a cultural difference, probably. that makes Japanese writers feel like they don't need to wrap things up cleanly. I'd rather they just leave things unresolved, like they often feel in reality, than force an ending that doesn't feel like part of the preceding story.

Here's the anime I like to watch:
-Fairy Tail
-A Certain Magical Index
-A Certain Scientific Railgun
-Pokémon
-Magic Knight Rayearth
-Tokyo Ravens
-Little Busters!
-And Log Horizon

Frankly, I like to watch only the English dub since I find it a real pain to know what the characters are saying and figuring out what's going on in the series at the same time.

I did not know that Tokyo Ravens had a dub yet, I remember finding myself enjoy it more it went on. Kon was especially cool.

Actually, what I really remember around that time liking was Strike the Blood, it had a kind of cool Index vibe going on. But it does not seem to have any news of a dub, which is kind of a bummer.

Since you said Little Busters, if you liked the kind of romantic side and all that, I would say to check out the other works by the company that wrote it, Key. The others would be Air, Kanon, Clannad, and Angel Beats.

I'm a huge anime fan! Currently, I keep watching Psycho-Pass and Steins;Gate over and over and over and over again. And Black Lagoon.

I tried watching Clannad and Angel Beats, but they keep saying a bunch of cuss words that I do not like to hear (though I'm okay with lighter words like "hell" and "damn"), such as words that start with S and F (no, I do NOT like them!).

For the record, yes, Tokyo Ravens actually has an English dub recently, licensed by FUNimation (if you don't believe me, look it up).

I'm totally hooked on Shiro Bako, now. Great characters and story, and a nice artistic style, as well.

I am a huge fan of Anime and Manga as well. One of my favorite manga books is Berserk.

Finished watching Cardcaptor Sakura series, since I felt pretty nostalgic watching those series. Watched a couple of episodes of Absolute Duo.
