Well, what should i do? Everyone says Clannad season 2 is awesome ...
Season 1 is better than number 2, so if you really don't like it, quit. Unless you like me have zero drop policy.

But, boring?  :o

Sit back. Do something that will rack your mind for a couple hours like homework/ studying / browsing the internet/ work. Go to sleep. Wake up. Cook breakfast. Eat breakfast. Sit back and day dream for 10 minutes on non anime subject. Turn on T.V/ computer. Then watch it.

I have a "near-zero" drop policy.
Only the truly horrifying shit gets dropped by me.

About to start Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (finally) in T-2 minutes. Right after I go get some popcorn and something to drink.
BD player will take a few seconds to auto setup anyway.

I loved that one, so hopefully you'll enjoy it  :)

Finished Macross 7 with specials and OVA. Clearly the weakest in the Macross complex so far. Not really liking the MC isn't helping  :no:
Remaining are Macross Frontier TV and films...

I'd just drop something if it's a waste of time from the start.

I've found that sometimes you need to be in the right mood to watch some anime.

Even with the ones that are really good, if you aren't in the right frame of mind/mood, it's just not going to work for you.

There have been several anime that I have tried to watch a few times before actually getting through the whole series.

I'm currently watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Maze, Ranma 1/2, and Maison Ikkoku.

I dropped Urasei Yatsura and Gintama for now.  I'm in the mood for continuous stories right now, and they're just too randomly episodic.  I'm sure I'll come back to them at a later time.

I had actually finished watching Maison Ikkoku, but now I'm re-watching at a more relaxed pace.  The story was so good that I put in some marathon sessions to watch the last 1/3 of the series.  Great, memorable ending set!   Now that I'm re-watching, I'm enjoying how the characters are gradually developed, noting when significant events happen that affect later parts of the series.  What a wonderful piece of work!

Maze is one of those animes that I have to be in the right mood for.

For the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I need to be fully alert and awake.  The dialog flows so fast sometimes that I miss quite a bit if my mind is drifting.  Fun, interesting series, though.

Ranma 1/2 is just enjoyable so far.  I'm just a few episodes in, so there's quite a bit of exposition happening.

In alphabetical order:
- Chu2koi Ren
- Golden Time
- Hoozuki no Reitetsu
- Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha
- Kill la Kill
- Mahou Sensou
- Mikakunin de Shinkokei
- Nagi no Asukara
- Nisekoi
- Noragami
- No-Rin
- Onee-chan ga Kita
- Phi Brain S3
- Pupipo!
- Saki: Zenkoku-hen
- Sakura Trick
- Seitkai Yakuindomo*
- Seikai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda
- Strange+
- Strike the Blood
- Tonari no Seki-kun
- Witch Craft Works

On hold till Blu-Rays:
- Pupa
- Saikin, Imouto no Yousu ga Chotto Okashiinda ga.

I dropped Golden Time, because Kouko really got on my nerves with her clingy behavior and bad attempt at comedy. And also because Banri is too much of a pussy to tell her to go fuck herself and break up.

Mahou Sensou was weak from the start. I didn't like Mui or any of the other characters and I lost all motivation to watch more after 4 episodes.

And No-Rin has also worn me out. The humor isn't all that good and the main guy's childhood friend is an annoying bitch.

Ranma 1/2's pretty episodic, too. 

On a random note, just make sure if you ever get to China that you avoid any hot springs...   :whistle:

Now and then, Here and There (don't really into that animation ... but story is decent - 70%)
Kimi ni Todoke (Just to much bowing and

steins gate needs some time to pick up.

I'm watching Blood lad right now, and watched coppelion before that.

Coppelion had some potential but let it go to waste by not establishing the characters properly. The background art was nice, and since I'm used to dealing with hatable characters by now I didn't even mind the whining that much. It get's a 6/10, since I liked the setting and the art, even the characters were okay objectively speaking. I disliked the fact that it was a "let's all be friends" type, but most series do this nowadays anyway...

Yep, Stein's Gate takes a bit of effort to watch, but rewards you when you get further in with an interesting take on much used science fiction cliche.

Still waiting on those Love Hina specials to turn up in the mail (tracking number says they were delivered this afternoon, so I should be able to pick them up tomorrow)
So, in the meantime, I am watching the Sailor Moon Memorial (recap+narration)
Edit 1:
Just watched SAO episodes 15-19
Uh, ok. I can accept the change of pace and direction, even the new way shit works. But ffs, why does every anime have to degenerate into a pile of turd. The whole, we're not related by blood or we're cousins thing is the worst ploy ever. Then there's the clichè oh I love him (i think) but he doesn't know. Oh, I met him somewhere else (but I don't know its him and nor he, I) I think I love him instead. (later) omg, they're the same person. Forbidden love FTW.

Yeah. No. Not my thing. Ever. Period.

Ugh, now what to watch. Thinking of rewatching Air Gear.

Edit: halfway through March:

Watching Infinite Ryvius | Mugen no Ryvius

^hated the MC but liked the show (of ryvius)

As for me, I was forced to watch Tokyo ravens until ep 20 because I accidentally started reading the Girl return arc, while the girl again arc was not yet translated.... I feel they mutilated the novel pretty badly, cutting out at least 40-50% of the dialogue, all internal monologues and descriptions. As a show it's still good, but I honestly recommend the novels over the anime. It get's especially bad with the sudden introduction of characters in the latter half.

Right now, I started on watching "I couldn't become a hero so I reluctantly decided to get a job". The first episode was funny, then I started reading owari no chronicle volume 2-A, so I haven't continued it yet

I finished watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya... kinda left me frustrated.
I finished Maze, too, and was kinda glad it was over.

I'm still watching Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku.

I had actually finished watching Maison Ikkoku as second time and loved it so much that I start watching the series again for the third time straight.  I love it, love it love it!

Ranma 1/2 is still enjoyable as the story line is still carrying on.

I think I might start up Inuyasha and make this a Rumiko series experience.

Aside from airing anime, I'm also cracking down on anime that I've had on my to-watch list for a while. At the moment I'm watching Hyouka, Nazo no Kanojo X, and Oda Nobuna no Yabou.

Oda Nobuna no Yabou is... a truly excellent anime. I cannot express how deeply satisfied I am with it so far (7 eps in).
