Series of four (unrelated? I think?)OVAs Shakugan no Shana-tan G (first episode) is out, the next is likely the same time, although that's more of "When it shows up, I'll find it somehow" sort of thing for me  Whetheras anything main-series related I actively look for/wait for/look forward to etc etc. | ||

As for season 3 of SnS...eh, can't care less. One of the least interesting long-running light novel series for me. Bakemonogatari worked out very nicely in spite of how the author never intended for it to be animated (yes, that's why Hachikuji makes nonstop meta jokes about getting animated), does make me wonder how some of his more animation-friendly series would work out. With SoRaNoWoTo, k-on resemblence is just fine, main character looks like Ui, Ui gets her well deserved attention, I am all for it. :p | ||

I don't really know why I'm watching it, maybe it's because it's been adapted from a popular K-drama that I haven't seen and has cast the actors from the series to do the voices, or maybe it's because I'm a little girl inside. Who knows? your thoughts on it? I had a really hard time watching it with my mom (the drama i mean. my mom made me watch it lol) | ||

It is incredibly funny but the characters are way too easy to relate in a negative way. Not that I am an otaku or hikkikomori but it is very easy to understand their way of thinking. for a positive feel you can try genshiken | ||

There's nothing wrong with the Japanese dubbing...except in the last arc. Three of the four main characters aren't supposed to be able to speak Japanese, and you're to imagine them speaking English throughout most of the show. However...they end up doing a lot of weird transitioning between badly pronounced English and Japanese in that last arc (which takes place in Japan). That gets REALLY annoying. But once again, I have no idea what the English dubs are like. | ||

What the fuck is that garbage? It's as bad as DBZ with the event stretching, but on top of that it doesn't even make any fucking sense! -_- | ||

Not sure what genre you're aiming for, but I highly recommend Baccano. Though it can be confusing Baccano has some supernatural elements set mainly in America's 1930s gangster years and is very similar to the movie Pulp Fiction in that there is no main character and it jumps around time. You can't really judge off just the first episode as it really is like Pulp Fiction in that it gives you many fragmented stories that you will piece together. Better in dubs in my opinion because of the American setting and you get accents with dubs. | ||
