Okay, not sure if it counts for manga. But I've been reading something called Hive, and it's fucking amazing.
It's basically about a guy who gets caught up in an apocalypse full of Wasps stinging people and trying to take over South Korea (and I assume the world) by laying their eggs in their bodies and making more wasps.
It's pretty cool, it's kind of like a Zombie Apocalypse but a bit more interesting, since the MC has to go through larvae, wasps and people who are basically "zombiefied" by the wasps and act like zombies.
It's really cool, and you guys should give it a read if you're not super afraid of bugs.

Who made it? It's kind of hard to find something specific by just googling "Hive".

Starting to read Berserk. I already like it and don't find Puck annoying at all.

Berserk is an awesome manga, but it's hell once you have to start for the next chapter. The one year hiatus is finally over but I am afraid it begins again.
What I am currently reading: One Piece, Naruto, History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, Berserk, Yotsuba&!...
Then there are manga I stopped, but I will read them again later: Bleach, Claymore, Toriko, Detective Conan, Doraemon...
What I am currently watching: Shingeki no kyojin...
To put it in a nutshell: I mostly read/watch "famous" stuff.

So, I just finished the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series (thanks MexicanAnime) a little in advance in accordance to my vacation. I was just supposed to check the first episode to see what it's about and ended up watching the whole show :D
Uh... If anyone wants to watch the show, do so and don't read my post. So... Spoilers, I guess. Nothing major but I do feel this show needs to be watched knowing nothing about it in advance. Honestly, if I had known what the show was like beforehand it propably wouldn't have had such an impact on me. I'll put everything in spoilers just in case.
Seriously, I wasn't expecting such a dark story from a magical girl show. It was like the Higurashi of the magical girl genre, just not as bloody. I also would have never thought a character who does so little for the most of the show would be such an important and central part of it all. And, a magical girl show whose main character actually isn't a magical girl until the very end of the show? The opening lied to me so much, I love it! It's all the show could have been and I couldn't be happier with what I actually got.
I actually thought the ending was one of the coolest and most epic I've seen in anime. Then came Rebellion. They turned what was a happy ending completely upside down. Poor Madoka. Everything Homura did she negated with her own actions. At least Kyubey got what was coming for him and learned one important emotion at the end. Fear.
Seriously, I don't remember when I've been this depressed after a show ended. Man. Dem feels. Oh well, an episode of abridged MLP fixed that.
Another thing from Rebellion, I totally loved the over exaggerated dance parts when the characters turned into Puella Magis. And seriously, 2 hours? That's amazing. It's the longest animated movie I've seen thus far.
I would love to see the spinoffs made into anime series as well, even though the manga series in itself was made after the anime, apparently.
Btw. Kyubey reminds me of something...

That is the face of evil, I tells ya.

I love this show, but I hear it's best watched twise. One not knowing a thing about the show and another to catch the hints of what is really going on. The two things that I have to say are Poor unfortunate souls and Bunny-cat is a dick.

Bad day.
Eh, could be worse. I wouldn't mind, at least.

I'm actually crying right now. So many things from my childhood have been brought back only to be completely ruined for the true fans, but they are genuinely trying with this. I'm sad they didn't keep the same theme song, but what they showed in this clip has me so excited.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR JULY 5TH!

...Well shit. It wasn't that way when I saw it! I guess it was getting too much attention and the uploader didn't want to deal with it.
Not as good as what I originally had, but it's something:

Hearing that Bayonetta's anime film is getting an english dub, makes me wish for an anime series of Bayonetta. That would rule.

Wow. I wonder if this is the work of Toei not wanting it to be leaked?
Basically what the video showed was the entire new opening so we got to see all the characters of the first season, including the Dark Kingdom. Then there was a sample from the first episode which showed Luna giving Usagi her transformation brooch. Funny thing is this scene was exactly like the one in the old anime, except for the new art style and neat 3D transformation.
