I'm not a huge anime fan but I decided to watch some anime now that I have free time. Chose one by random and it turned out to be really good. The anime I watched is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. The animation isn't that great but it has really good characters and story. Some episodes are a bit dull and it's a bit slow-paced at times but I don't think it affects the overall experience. Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is pretty different from everything I've seen before but I liked it much more than any other anime I've seen before (although I haven't watched a lot of anime). I should also say that it starts a bit slowly and may be boring at first but it's much better towards the end. I recommend it for everyone. It's only 11 episodes long.

YES!
Absolutely my second favourite anime of all time.
I have a stick cushion and a cleaning cloth of Homura, a mini cushion of Madoka and Homura, a mini figure of Miki and two figures, Madoka and Mami.

Just finished up the newest chapter of Bleach! Pretty good chapter. Can't wait to see what happens next.

^ Saying that it's not good at the beginning, or starts good and becomes excellent?

The pre-time skip series is 516 episodes, but don't let that overwhelm you if it does.

How big of a time skip is it? Just finished a few minutes ago and I enjoyed it a lot. A series this long'll take me a VERRRRY long time.

2 years, but let me tell you, sometimes I would like seeing it for the first time now and then, so you should savour it. There are filler arcs that don't affect the overall series though.

@Electricmastro
Would you recommend to filler, or suggest avoiding it?

It really depends on how patient you are and what kind of entertainment you want. I suggest that when you get to a first episode of a filler arc, that's when you should decide for yourself if you wish to skip it or not and just come back to it later. The filler arcs are episodes:

54-61
131-135
136-138
139-143
196-206
220-224
326-335
382-384

Episodes 279, 291-292, 303, 336, 406-407,426-429, and 492 are special episodes that divert from the main anime entirely.

Most of the filler is pretty ok. Not living up to most of the series really, but it's not actively bad in any real way. Not sure about really later stuff but the ones at the end of the 100s/beginning of the 200s is quite good even!

The first filler arc also has some scenes that were in the manga that were mildly important.

I'm starting with the dub, but I'm sure they'll have dubbed tons more episodes by the time I reach the current stop.

Also, as I'm also watching Bleach, I've heard it's fillers are pretty bad, so could I have a list of those as well?

Some information that some of you might be interested in. I was watching Imagine-Nation last night, & they covered the new movie Little Witch Academia.

It's being developed by a new studio that has broken off from Gainax, with the film's producer previously working on Neon Genesis Evangelion, and was in charge of Gurren Laggan. The flow of the animation looks really sublime, and it almost seems to give off a Studio Ghibli like vibe. It's about a group of goof offs in a magical academy who accidentally release a monster, and now have to stop it from destroying the school.

They also gave a brief mention to Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, & pronounced it as "Dragon Ball Zetto"...
