@Everyone
Are Soul Eater and D. Gray Man worth watching?

Soul Eater starts out great, but by episode 30-ish, it goes downhill, since it stops following the manga. That parts still okay, but it's noticeably worse than the earlier parts. I actually suggest reading the Manga if you can. It's longer, yet it'll go by quicker.

I never watched D. Gray Man.

I made another GIF. (I'm scouring random anime episodes I've watched recently to find good GIF material.)
This one is from Maid-sama. It was always one of my favorite moments x3.

How does one make a GIF file?

@Rocko, I don't know which country you're in, or how late you stay up, but Toonami has recently started airing Soul Eater, if you're interested.

They're only 4 episodes in, I believe.

Ah, ok. You might be able to find the episodes they've already aired on Adult Swim's website (I know they do that with some of their anime).

I believe that all of Soul Eater is on Netflix as well as D. Gray Man, part of why I asked about them.

Okay then. I've only started on Soul Eater, but from what I've seen I'd recommend it.

The animation is superb, the action is exciting & well executed, it's reasonably funny, and the characters are likeable for the most part.

The only thing I don't really care for is the fact that it's heavily stylized (the Sun & Moon have large, expressive, somewhat creepy faces, for example), but that's more my personal preferences, and shouldn't be taken as a knock against the series' quality. The rest of the show has been done so well, that I can overlook it for the most part, anyways.

I'm on Season 4 of Soul Eater and I have to say it is very, very good. I would definitely suggest watching it. (Though I've heard the ending isn't that good because it's different from the manga but I'm not sure). Also, the moon and sun are actually in the atmosphere. (Just a random fact, it has nothing to do with the plot)

I've watched some of Soul Eater and for the most part I liked what I saw (I ended up reading a lot of it). I've also read D. Gray Man up to its most current chapter and I've got to say I love it so far! I haven't tried watching the anime but I'm sure it'll be good. The plot's interesting, the main character is likeable and it's funny (not as funny as Sket Dance though).

Also @Rocko52 why don't you read manga instead of watching the animes if you're finding it difficult to make time to watch them. I had the same problem and found it less time consuming to read the anime's manga instead.

Honestly, I find it easier to squeeze in TV shows. I mean, I love manga and american comics, but I somewhat prefer animation on both fronts.

^ Ya for me, I dunno. I mean, manga reading is faster individually, but I just don't think I could do that for the whole series.

They showcased GUNNM last night on Imagine-Nation, and I think that it's the most awesome looking manga I've seen them showcase.

It's a cyberpunk martial arts story, inspired by the styles & designs of 80's manga! It starts out with a scientist repairing a worn out female cyborg, and then she recovers, she battles off the crime in the city with an old Martian martial art she's skilled in, with aspects of her hidden past being revealed along the way.

The current arc finds her & her allies competing in a martial arts tournament, with the promise that their home will be freed from it's imperialist rule should they win.

It's supposedly catching on with fans of Ghost in the Shell & Akira.

Good God I love Naruto's forst ending theme. Seriously, the music in the series seems to be its biggest strength right now.

I love Wind too. I also love the second ending theme Harmonia.

Yup, that one's good too. Probably better in context, though. Now I want to watch more.
