The "monk" (I think Jubei is his name) & Ywach continue fighting.
After Jubei strikes Ywach's sword with his brush-sword, Ywach's sword loses it's power. You see, once Jubei's brush-sword splatters ink on something, it loses it's name, and once something loses it's name, it loses it's power.
Ywach tries to retaliate by using some sort of Quincy power/magic trap to steal Jubei's power, but Jubei simply shrugs it off, and says something about all the "black" in the world bending to his will (Soul Reaper, Quincy, or otherwise), and it then shows the black coloring sort of "leaking" off of various things. (such as the Soul Reapers' kimonos, and Ywach's cape), before the chapter ends)
Also, I've started the final big arc in the Ranma 1/2 manga!

Hellsing Ultimate - Missed the first half, so I'm not sure exactly why Alucard was fighting Walter, but it was a good (albiet very bloody) fight.
Summer Wars - Oh man, this was just as good the second time around. A truly great film, I must say. I still teared up when they read the letter (the one you-know-who left behind). Very emotional, and very tense, and awesome.

I finished up Ranma 1/2 (manga) the other day. I liked it overall, but I'd say I still like InuYasha (and dare I say Kyokai no Rinne) more.
It was a fun time, but without much of a narrative goal, so your enthusiasm to continue reading depends completely on how interested you are in the current little story arc, which varied greatly for me (for example, I wasn't a big fan of the "Martial Arts Dining" or "Martial Arts Tea Ceremony" arcs, but I loved any of the story arcs that centered around Ranma's mother, as well as the two arcs where they tried to be a bit more serious, the "Herb" arc & "Pheonix" arc). The good thing is that the story arcs never last too long (there's only three in the entire series that are more than 10 chapters long), so it's not too big of a deal if you ruh into one you don't like.
Also, I've started reading Grenadier. I'm not too far into it yet, but it's been a pretty fun action series so far. There's no real goal yet, but it features the adventures of the Grenadier (expert sharpshooter) Yashuna (I think I spelled that right), and the samurai Yajiro.

I just finished the first season of "Working!" I watched the first episode last night, and finished the rest of the season today. It was pretty good. It's the first anime I watched in months, which might be why it kinda felt so whack, and funnier than it should have been at times. A wish a couple things were different though. I wish Takanashi ended up starting to go with Popura instead of Inami. Inami is still nice, and the story is definitally still sweet, but Popura is just so much cuter and whatnot.
Has anyone ever watched Trigun? I never heard of the series before and I was planning to get the full set on Christmas.
@Nazo_no_Hikari It's really good. If you can look past some of its silliness and somewhat dated animation, you'll find a surprisingly deep series (one that's often heralded as shaping the face of anime).
@GuardianKing Eden of the East is worthwhile if you like the mystery genre. The plot isn't the most logical and it mixes tones a lot, but overall production values are good and it's a lot of fun.
always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)

I kept waiting for the story to take that major turn but it never did for me. Or maybe the main character to do something more lol. It did have an interesting story at least and for the length it was more then worth it to watch.

Finished the first season of Psycho Pass. Dang, this show is really good! Ginoza was a piece of work, but now he's my favorite.
Onto the second season~

Props to the Akame Ga Kill! anime for introducing me to the vastly superior manga.
Still a good series and cant wait to see how the anime ends tomorrow, but I do dislike the direction the anime went.
World Trigger on the other hand has picked up, and I don't have any problems with it except the occasional seconds of absolutely nothing happening (without thematic reasoning), but I still have really high hopes for how it continues.
Toonami Saturday night! Yeah, I know I'm late getting to this, lol.
Hellsing Ultimate - Well, it's finally over (for real this time). It was an alright series, I guess. I didn't think it was anything special.
FMA: Sacred Star of Milos - This was really good! Lots of insane action, as well as a couple of really good story twists. I also really liked it, because while it was more of a side story (like anime movies tend to be), they used it as an opportunity to expand the world (the conflict took place alongside the border between Amestrius & another country that wasn't involved in either TV series, other than being a place on the map). Also, I assume this one took place in the FMA: B continuity? I thought both movies were set in the world of the first TV series (Conqueror of Shamballa definitely was), but in this one Al clearly did something he could only do in FMA: B.
Also, they had promos for DBZ: Legend of Broly & Akira, which are both airing next week.

@RR529: Well at least you're motivated enough to keep posting.
I've been pretty bummed out about the way Ore, Twintails ni Narimasu has turned out. After the fourth episode, the story and the animation quality have degraded considerable after every episode.
Hitsugi no Chaika's rushed ending was also a huge let down. Although, studio Bones basically rushed through the light novels on every episode, I felt like the ending was considerably lazy on their part.
