When I'm watching Naruto, there is no time to watch anything different. I've been syced for each weeks new ep since 2 months ago when the filler stopped and the epic began.

I honestly teared up a little when Naruto met his Mom. :'(
There are things I don't like about the series, but after following it for years... guess I've gotten more than just a little bit attached to it.
Anyway, I've forgotten my AnimeList password, and I have no idea how to recover it, so I'll be doing this the old fashioned way. :wtf:

I'm a bit obsessed with Guilty Crown right now, it's fantastic how they spent most of the first half of the season meticulously setting up tons of classic anime tropes just to blow them up in your face; it's like no episode can end on a happy note, ever. They're also actually putting the main character through some incredibly harsh character development. Like, personality-altering. He started as Shinji, then became Luke Skywalker, then Darth Vader, then King Lear, and now... perhaps he just became one of the most awe-inspiring male lead heroes of any anime ever? He definitely had a keen look in his eye at the end of episode 18 after......he got over having his arm cut off and all his powers stolen by the man he once idolized as being the perfect leader.
Bit of a teaser, all the clips are from the first episode so it's not much of a spoiler.

Also loving every second of Nisemonogatari, even went back and rewatched Bakemonogatari. Thrilled that Kizumonogatari is getting a movie.

Nisemonogatari Episode 4 - Araragi & Shinobu Bath Clip
I think this is technically a harem anime, although he's only going out with one of them.
Might add some manga later. ;)

Forgot [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. Completely weird, but strangely compelling anime.
Liked it a lot. The basics are that there's a sort of game under each country's economy. Players cash in their "future" and it's translated into game money, which can also be used in the real world. Your future also manifests as a creature you use to battle against others in the game. The entire system is monetarily based, you invest during a battle by authorizing your creature (pretty loose term, since most are humanoid-ish and completely sentient) to use attacks.
But there's a catch. Losses in the game hit you in reality, by changing reality.
Sure you'll have less money, since you lost. But you're not just gambling with your money, but your future, dated from when you started playing the game. You could leave a loss to find out you never had the job you had the day before, or you were never married even though you just celebrated your 10th anniversary. Or your children might simply... disappear from your life, completely unremembered by anyone else but you.
And if the game gets too unbalanced... the damage becomes more than personal. Entire countries could be wiped out like they never existed, or the contagion could spread to games underpinning foreign economies, whirlpooling them into the destruction. It's a fascinating, albeit heavy-handed, concept that'd aimed pretty squarely at how much our reality is so completely dependent on such an arbitrarity as money.
Neat characters and engaging battles with a curious plot and a fascinating, utilitarian villain. The ending is a massive cliffhanger, though.
It'll give you goosebumps after what's been happening in Europe. -.^
