I'm actually rather new to anime, but have found I enjoy it very much. My last show I watched was "Madoka Magica" plus the movies, and that was the coolest show I have ever seen in my life. It was such a great story, and just took twists you would never expect to happen. It looks like a cute little girls show when you see pics, but it's actually really deep. It takes all hope of you away as you go deaper into it, and then the final episode gives it all back and you get just the coolest feeling. Dang it I cried so hard with that show. It's subbed btw.
But since I finished that, I currently have started "fairy tale" of which many told me I should watch due to me liking magic, and now I'm listening to them. After that, which will probably be a long time though, I'll probably start "Sailor Moon" for I wanted to see that one too.
