Blue Exorcist is the definitive example of why anime should either stick exclusively to a mostly 1-to-1 adaptation or should know what they're doing from the beginning when trying to change it.
Up to date on One piece, at the fourth or fifth movie, only 12 more episodes until Bleach is fully dubbed, got nothing else to watch after that unless I watch some new seasons of animes that I was once up to date on.
Bleach - WTH, a random filler episode? Apparently the Soul Society has the ability to import things from America, lol.
Space Dandy - Huh, the Gogol people actually got to be a part of the main story this time. Decent episode.
Naruto Shippuden - Typical end of an arc stuff. Celebration, solemn remembrance, looking to the future.
One Piece - One giant out of the way, Luffy kicking a**, and the CP9 people were assigning themselves power levels. Fun episode.
Blue Exorcist - Pretty fantastic action for the conclusion. Wait, did they just insinuate that "you know who's" actions weren't completely derived from evil...? (that's just f***** up. "He" isn't supposed to have "good intentions", even if he twists them up). Overall, as a series, though I gave it a lot of flak, I did like it. It was generally a good show with great animation, an interesting theme (though it had it's issues), and it had about the perfect mix of seriousness & laid back moments. I actually really liked the idea of mixing western & eastern cultural lore, which made it all the more disappointing that they went so deeply into incorporating the idea of the devil (and completely missing the point).
Batman - Didn't watch.
Black Lagoon - This was quite a heavy episode, but I can't wait until next week to see Revy & Ginji beat the s*** out of those lowlifes for what they're doing to that girl.
EDIT: Oh, and they showed a new promo for Gurren Lagaan, which starts next week. Can't wait!
It's been recently announced that the series Working!! will receive a third anime season. http://www.otakutale.com/2014/working-anime-season-3-announced/ @Tobias95: I haven't watched it so I wouldn't know. However, based on your anime interests such as Love Lab and Tamako Market, I would recommend watching something like Acchi Kocchi (Place to Place) or Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions.

The anime is really nice. It's a cute little adventure of seeing the man (forgot his name) raising this little girl and growing less cold. The art style is really nice too. The manga has more controversial moments apparently but I never read it. I really enjoyed the anime.
If you're talking about Akame ga Kill! I find that anime to be more gory and awkward than Kill la Kill!, but maybe because it lacks the slightly deformed art style. Akame ga Kill's random comedy and fan service amongst the bloodshed feels completely out of place (in my opinion). Well, at least it's self aware of the fan service.
I finally watched the second CCS movie! I decided to skip the first one since it's just a self contained fun story. The Sealed Card was a fun film. The main reason to watch this film really is to get closure for Sakura and Syaoran's relationship. I felt they started the tease for Sakura expressing her feelings way too early and so it was dragged out too much. Animation was very nice though and the soundtrack was amazing as always. I liked the plot too, it was a creative way to throw another Clow Card into the mix. Some fights were much better than I expected too.
My main huge gripe was Kero's voice! It's completely different. They took the voice of another character and gave it to him, and I swear it changes three times throughout the film! I can't hold this against the film, however, since this is only a problem with the Spanish dub I saw. So it's more of a personal gripe. Especially since I love Kero's voice. It didn't hamper my enjoyment too much in the end.
It felt like a episode just longer and in a grander scale. While it wasn't as great as I would have liked it's still enjoyable and I loved it. If only for the ending. So cute! Hurray for Sakrua~
So I'm kind of a casual anime watcher, but I've been having an itch to start another series. What do you guys recommend off of the Netflix instant selection of anime? I've seen Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online, and Cowboy Bebop (though that one isn't on Netflix).
Cowboy Bebop is always the first anime I recommended new viewers to watch and out of those three it's the best in my opinion. Attack on Titan is intense and supposed to thrill so if you're looking for something more like that check it out. Sword Art Online is purely worth watching for the action and animation alone. Everything else is questionable. Cowboy Bebop has great music, great character, great comedic moments, great fights, and great emotional moments.m

He wasn't looking for your opinion on those 3 lol. He wanted suggestions and those are the ones he watched!
I say Trigun or Rurouni Kenshin. Both have action, comedy, and nice art! Both don't have deep stories that will confuse you either.

If I was only ever able to have Monster Hunter and EO games in the future, I would be a happy man.
Holy crap I misread that so bad. LOL sorry! Well going off those three I'd say Yu Yu Hakusho would be a great anime to watch next. Although it's pretty darn long. (Not on Netflix). Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a fantastic anime on Netflix though.
