@RR529 - Glad you liked Orguss 02! I quite liked that one myself, though I did feel it could've used a bit more action, if only because what was there was so good. Also, the dub's pretty solid for a show of it's age, and even hilarious at times.
I'm tempted to put Guilty Crown aside, just because I don't want to watch it on Hulu's Adbox or Funi's finnickey iPad app. Hurry up and release the DVD version, Funimation!
Not sure what I should pick up instead, though...I don't want to grab a show from my list above, either, since none of them compliment Fairy Tail quite like Guilty Crown did.
@canis Other then animes are started and didn't finish which I will never watch again, im watching:

When it comes to spoilers, I always put bold warnings before & after
SPOILERS SPOILERS END
However, If I know for a fact that a newer member of the thread has just started on a particular series (Say @Rocko52, who recently started Bleach), I'll be more generic in my descriptions, and leave out spoilers, just in case.
Well, I have to say I honestly have no sympathy for someone who skips over spoiler tags only to ruin it for themselves. I've done it before, but now whenever I see spoilers I scroll down. until the end point.
I'm posting it.
Manga Recap Time!
Major spoilers are EVERYWHERE, so don't read if you you don't want the surprises gone.
Anyways, I'm just gonna focus on the big 3 for now, as their scans just got translated.
One Piece!
Synopsis:
My clear favorite of the trio, and after since moving on from Punk Hazard, the story is now focused on the kingdom of Dressrosa, ruled by the now ex-warlord Doflamingo. (The reason for his resignation was blackmail from Law X Straw Hats alliance after capturing Ceasar, who worked with Doflamingo to make SAD, a chemical to create artificial Devil Fruits to sell to Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.) Upon landing, the Straw Hats + the new samurai Kin'emon. Having split up into groups, the split being half planned, half random. Luffy, accompanied by Franky, found out that Doflamingo is holding a gladiator tournament, with the reward being the Flame-Flame Fruit, which he has searched out upon it's regrowth after Ace's death. Luffy signs up, with Franky spectating. (All Staw Hats are in disguise.) Zolo is chasing after a "fairy" who stole his sword Shusui. Sanji, chasing after him, is met encountered by a dancer wanted by someone, and who wants Sanji to kill someone. Kin'emon is lost. Robin, Law, Usopp and Ceasar (prisoner) are the group charged with bringing Ceasar to the drop off point of Green Bit. Chopper, Nami, Brook and Kin'emon's son Momonosuke remain on the ship.
Current chapter:
The focus is still clearly on the gladiator tournament, arranged in 4 blocks of free-for-alls that only the victors move on from. The Block A is shown to be annihilated by a mystery contestant last chapter, who turns out to be Jesus Burgess from Blackbeard's crew. It shows a Vice Admiral, Capman, working behind the scenes, disposing of someone who found him suspicious. Later, Capman is utterly destroyed by Bartolomeo, a "crazy rookie" we have not yet seen. Fujitora, a blind man with incredible power Luffy had helped earlier, is revealed to be a new Admiral. The group with Law questions people on how to get to Green Bit, until suddenly they are alerted to a new presence: CP0. Kin'emon is captured by Doflamingo's men, Zolo seemingly catches up with whatever stole his sword, and Sanji fights of an assassin attempting to kill the dancer (named Violet). The group on the ship is just messing round; until an unknown voice is heard from the ship.
A lot of new developments are happening, and even after coming off the slight disappointment that Punk Hazard was, Dressrosa is has me pumped and exited, and is shaping up MAGNIFICENTLY. CP0, the new Admiral Fujitora, and the power of the mysterious Bartolomeo have me on the edge of my seat. This new arc is off to an amazing start.
Naruto.
After all that One Piece talk, I'm in no mood to speak of all the flashback-ing the synopsis would require, so let me just say with complete joy that
Sasuke is no longer forced and lame anymore!
Yay. It's looking actually pretty good, and I hope a conclusion is nearby, as the momentum is being kept up quite nicely.
Bleach...
ehhh... Quincy girl who is clearly Ichigo's mother gets hit with hollow experiment from Aizen...
More contrived flashback nonsense that will inevitably attempt to explain EVERYTHING...
But Urahara does this cool look at the end of the chapter so it''s all okay.
