Just a simple topic I figured we could start. What manga or anime are you experiencing this past week?
I've currently been hooked on Noragami, which is a shonenish shojoish fantasy. It's honestly not that great of a manga, but I'm pretty hooked with its excellent art. It extremely helps that the mangaka were the artists for Alive: The Final Evolution.
So what have you guys been reading?

Finally sat down and read my Toriko Volumes 1 - 21 fae Viz Media, tis pretty good need to get the rest soon.
Also finished reading the Psyren manga recently, loved it hope Iwashiro's new work Kamigami can survive in jump.
My winter anime season has unfortunately been derailed due to moving house and having no broadband. I have data allowance on a dongle for the forseeable future now and downloading or streaming anything uses to much data, I could just buy more I suppsoe but it's really expensive.
I read Volume 1 of Noragami when I got it back in November, I liked it, seen the first 6 eps of the anime as well but never got round to finishing it yet, the opening song is awesome though and volume 2 and 3 of the manga are sitting on my shelf waiting for me to read at some point lol

Manga:
Sailor Moon. For you, Ceej. Story's pretty basic, but I love the artwork and the style. I've been pretty slow in getting through it (it took me like a month to read through the first volume) but I'm enjoying it nevertheless.
Anime:
Les Miserables: Shoujo Cosette. For OIO. Not exactly a worthy depiction of Victor Hugo's novel, and a really weird choice of subject matter for a children's anime, but I can't say I've hated it either. The book's notoriously hard to adapt because of its sheer size, and I don't think that really any attempt (not even THAT one, which I really like but only as a separate entity) has come all that close. Animation's kinda crap, and it's unforgivably slow considering all the details that still got omitted, but I dunno, I still don't think I would call it a bad anime, just not one I can see myself recommending.
FLCL. For the podcast. Weird and hyper though it is, it's clearly a classic for a reason. Can't wait to get to discussing it.
Winter anime I'm watching I've pretty much already covered in the Winter Thread. Except Yatterman Night, which I only last week got into. I can't really do Yatterman Night justice in only a few short words, though. But, like I told Ceej, despite its imperfections, I don't remember the last time an anime has made me this happy. It's too good, guys.

Recently finished Kuroko no basuke, was awesome, havnt had those sports feels since eyeshield ended.
Finished sword art online, started of good but got a bit girly for me which was disapointing.
Still grinding through FMA brotherhood.
Looking for a new anime to start, something completed and recentish, any suggestions? Spoke to Xero other day, someone recommended Angel beats to him, any good? Any anime on netflix worth watching?

I watched the first few episodes of angel beats back when it originally aired but cant remember much about it.
more epic sports series would be Yowamushi pedal and it's sequel Grande Road.
Nanatsu no Taizai is pretty epic even if it is a little rushed.
If you like swo then maybe give Accel World a try, it's by the same author and it's one of my fav series.
Kill la Kill is amazing and is anime of the deacde for me so far.
Stuff I have finished recently and really enjoyed would be. Assassination Classroom, Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon?, Rokka no yuusha, Prison School, Noragami, Shokugeki no Soma and Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches
recent stuff that has been massively hyped/populer that I havn't seen is Parasyte, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, No game no Life, Black Bullet, Tokyo Ghoul, Akame ga Kill, Zankyou no terror, Aldnoah.Zero, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, The Fate series, Death Parade, Owar no Seraph, Kekkai Sensen, Ore Monogatari, Charlotte, gangsta, Overlord, Gate and God eater
