General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[gamemaster1991]

Alright, after much procrastination I finally finished watching A Certain Magical Index II. Now I'm just going to take a break from this series and not watch Railgun S instantly. So, in the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions for a no-bullshit anime that doesn't dawdle with monologues in the middle of a fight scene, try to have a lame moral or use awkward moments and naked schoolgirls as comedy?

Madoka Magica. No, I'm being completely serious as it's a great take on the magical girl genre that handles its themes well in a mature and well written matter. This is all courtesy of Gen Urobuchi, who wrote Fate/Zero, Psycho Pass, and a few other works.

I agree with him. It's a little weird watching a magical girl series which never stoped me from watching Card Captors but the series is a real interesting series that handles what it would really be like if a little girl got magical powers, as well as not sugar coating deaths to "just sleeping" status. Also, It's a great series to rewatch just to catch the hints of what will happen.
