Have you ever seen gigguk? Because in terms of entertainment value, I think he's the best anime review out there. Him and LathanCroweTV. (Who is another great anime reviewer)
Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

If I did I don't remember him. Perhaps you could give me an example?
@Canis
Here's a review from him for Summer Wars. Some NSFW
-snip-
I actually watched the Highschool of the dead one instead...I didn't like it. Maybe it was a bad video to try, though, since he tried way too hard to be funny when the show itself is so over the top, you don't really need to try. JesuOtuka even figured that out and her HSOTD video was one of the best she's done. Maybe I'll try one or two more...
I watched the Code Geass (both seasons) and FLCL reviews, and I'm starting to warm up to this guy. I stll don't like his style, but at least it doesn't get in the way of his opinions, which in those videos were well-presented and...agreeable. The R2 review was best because I could actually see his point and understand it, even agreeing with some of it even though he was criticising one of my favorite shows. That is very rare for me when it comes to anime. I dunno if I'll check out anymore, he doesn't seem to review a lot of stuff I'm interested in and his channel is a complete mess - he makes waaaay too many videos without having any way to sort them out - but I'm glad I checked out the ones I did. Thank you.
Speaking of One Piece I think it might be my favorite anime...I dunno. As much as I love Evangelion (which I really do) One Piece is much...well more fun. And emotional. Evangelion might be "deeper" and be more "mature" but but I really think I might prefer.

Honestly, I was never a big fan of one piece. Yes it's had it's moments but just the style is not for me.

That's a hard one :/ I do enjoy romances and sad ones. But I don't have one that is with out a doubt my favorite, but if girl friends ever became a anime I would say that. I just loved it.

I have a friend who won't even try One Piece because of the art style.
At the same time, the guy adores Bleach, he calls it art, literally, praises it for its world and ahem character development (I know) and thinks it only gets better and better...I know.

Finished chapter 525 of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi!
SPOILERS
The fights are on!
Freya vs Ryuuto - after a brief scrap, they were distracted by other fights, and went to observe.
Kisara vs Chigake - Chikage was kicking Kisara's butt, but for some strange reason (her growing friendship with Kenichi's group), she couldn't bring herself to land a finishing blow. The conundrum prooved to much for her, so she started to cry, and her master swooped in, taking her away.
Renka vs Rachael - With an explosive start (Rachael started a fire somehow), these two went at it, with Renka coming out on top.
Siegfried vs Tanimoto - It was a tough fight, but in the end Tanimoto won (although, despite following the "Killing Fist" philosophy, he let Siegfried live).
Kenichi vs Berserker - They were going at it, but were distracted by the Miu vs Rimi fight.
Takeda vs Lugh - Lugh started out with an obvious advantage, with Takeda eventually running into a house of mirrors. Lugh is about to kill Takeda, but Takeda comes to grips with something his master was teaching him, and was able to fight back! At this point, "Kensei" shows up to watch the fight, but Takeda barely comes out on top by surprising Lugh with Boxing's only grappling move, the clinch!
Miu vs Rimi - Rimi appears to have the upper hand, but after Miu starts fighting at full force, the two are even. Rimi then unleashes her "dou" ki, gaining a very demanding upper hand. Miu releases her "dou" ki as well, and is able to fight back, but her control is unstable, which allows Rimi to still have a slight lead. Thanks to Kenichi's supporting words, Miu is able to control her "dou" ki, and wins.
At this point, "Kensei" shows up to this fight, and tells Rimi to do the biggest taboo, by releasing her "sei" & "dou" ki at the same time. Doing this she starts kicking Miu's butt, but her body can't handle the power, and she dies!
Both Kenichi & Ryuuto ("Kensei's" disciple & Rimi's friend) are angered, and turn their fists on the master. "Kensei" kicks both their butts, but before he can kill them, is interrupted...
Tanaka, the martial arts salaryman who's been looking for revenge on "Kensei" for killing his master, has shown up & challenges him. It's a tough and bloody fight (and you also learn that "Kensei" killed his wife, who was pregnant with Tanaka's child at the time), but in the end "Kensei" wins, and Tanaka dies.
Afterwards "Kensei" & Berserker leave, and the rest of Kenichi's friends (led together by the spirits of Tanaka's family, which they believed to be living) find Kenichi, Miu, Ryuuto, & Rimi (believed to be dead presently), but will they be able to escape the blaze (the fire started earlier has engulfed the entire amusement park)?

Well, I only have 13 chapters left until I'm caught up with Japan!

Okay, I'm a huge manga guy. I love reading manga and Shonen Jump makes some of my most favorite manga.
** SORTA SPOILERS for One Piece*
I used to be a huge fan of One Piece until I realized that Eiichrio Oda was cleary struggling with giving characters lines and boss fights moments. Thats the problem with One Piece. Too many overlapping characters. Example: Sanji is supposed to be the pervert of the group! Not Brooks! And whenever a huge fight begins, it is so obvious to me that Oda is having to giving each crew member a person to fight so they can still be useful and noteworthy. I just can't do it anymore. I used to love One Piece but Oda just added too many characters to Luffy's crew and its spinning out of control. Oda shoulda just kept it as: Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Robin, and Zolo. I would have much preferred those 4 characters than the rest of the crew.
** SORTA SPOILERS for Naruto*
I used to be a huge fan of Naruto manga, too but man... Just what the heck is Misashi Kishimoto doing with the series? Does he not care anymore? I feel like he's just throwing random things together just for the sake for the "legacy" theme that he loves so much. The first season of Naruto manga (before Shippendun) was priceless. The Chunin Exams was written very well and Naruto was awesome. But then Naruto Shippendun came and everything jumped off a cliff and crashed to the floor. WAYYY TOO MANY CHARACTERS who serve just one purpose.
I'm sorry for rambling but I really love manga. I love it with all my heart and I just hate it when a series I love...crashes to the ground. D:
