I've been following this thread for a while in order to see what anime to track down when I get the chance. There has been a few things that have caught my eye. However...
Out of the pictures that AduroT showed earlier, I can say that this one suited me best.
I really enjoyed Akira (and even have the Manga) and I liked both Paprika and Perfect Blue. I haven't seen Redline, so that is added to my list of anime to find. Looks similar to Dead Leaves.
With that in mind, and that I'm in the process of collecting all the Studio Ghibli films and I'm a big fan of GitS... <=== Obviously...
What can you recommend to add to my list? I'm very much into it for the artwork, probably more-so than for the story. But a good story is also nice.

I kinda wish they had waited to reveal the Akatsuki. leader.
On another note (Spoilers on the leader of the Akatsuki Be warned)
Spoiler:
What's up with there being more Uchiha? I thought it was just the brothers? The leader of the Akatsuki being an Uchiha who fought the first Hokage is interesting, but it seems almost copout-ish to make him an Uchiha. Why not make him something more? a Jinchuriki for example? (NO spoilers)

Ah. This is the point where Naruto stops even having the pretense of being a "Ninja" show/manga, and just wholeheartedly admits that Shinobi are basically Wizards that know kung-fu. Madara is essentially a Liche.

All caught up on Irregular highschool. I'm starting to lose interest in it though tbh. I do not tend to like main characters like the one in the show. The too cool for school silent types that are perfect at everything.
When Shinsekai Yori first came out I didn't hear about, so I started it a couple days ago. An man I'm lovin it! As the show goes on it's actually gets more interesting and drives me to watch more episodes to see what happens next. I really like anime like this, that have just a long ongoing story instead of filler episodes with an overarching plot. It does make it harder to find places to pause and the show a little dry at times, but Shinsekai Yori has a good enough story to keep me interested.

Especially Rena; hearing her talk about Oyashiro always gives me chills.
Forgot to reply to this, Rena is pretty much my favorite character hands down. I still need to finish the second season, although if I remember correctly the first season ends on an alright note. The only arc I end up fast forwarding through is the weird one with the detective in the future or whatever. Very bland and slow. But back to Rena, this is currently my desktop
I know, the last arc of the first season really develops her character. I think Mion would be my favorite, though I like all the characters. Something that doesn't happen that often when it comes to horror, really.
The first episode of the Second Season covers the aftermath of the Season 1 finale. I suggest watching it. It is a bit slow, but it does fill in some gaps.

All eps should be watched, tbh. All of them offer some kind of info or explanation about what happened. And once the truth has been revealed, you'll understand what really was going on and why there's so many arcs.

Ya I'm like halfway done with the second season. It already explains all the different arcs back in the first season though, during the last arc.
Err I may be wrong about this^ I'm starting over from the beginning so I'll find out eventually lol

Alright, I'll give that a go after I finish Angel Beats later in the day today. Gotta glad I found this one. Damn good music, I like the animation, good stuff all the way around.

I think the above gif captures perfectly how much I hate what just took place in Naruto Shipp.
Spoiler:
Not only did some of the most awesome characters die but the cliffhanger with Naruto giving some of Kuaramas chakra to Hinana was just insane!
Emotions went from shocked to sadness to anger then to "squeeing" ( I think thats the best word to describe it) then back to anger since the ep ended. Looked forward to next weeks one.

Armies I want:Lizardmen, Warriors Of Chaos, Dark Eldar
Armies I may get: Dark Angels, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts
For those who saw this week's NGNL and had no idea what that reference was at the end:
In case anyone is interested in what they were referencing during the preview, this is the note I left the show's editor explaining it:
Well, this is probably... incomprehensible to an English speaking audience, so I will explain for the benefit of editors and other people who might care. In an obscure SNES RPG called Bahamut Lagoon that has no english localization, or official one anyway, a hero and king of a certain country takes his queen for a ride on his dragon, Salamander. "It's so fast!" she yells happily. Years later, when he's away on a journey, she has an affair with a general from a neighboring country, who also takes her for a ride on his dragon. (I mean literal dragons here, btw, not as a metaphori- you know what, never mind.) While she's riding on his (literal) dragon, she yells, "It's way faster than Salamander!" 'cause she's a bitch? I guess? Anyway this quote, for reasons known only to the japanese, has stuck around as a metaphor for your wife or girlfriend choosing to ride another man's (metaphorical) dragon.

And Angel Beats is finished... Glad I found it. Ending had an appropriate amount of feels...
That anime was ridiculous. I was either laughing or crying. One ep would be hilarious, the next one would make me want to go into a fethal position and cry. SO many feels.

To get attached to the first Guitarist for the band and BOOM She passes on! Its only EP 3 don't make me feel like this already!
Yes, that's when I realized that anime was gonna break me...
Spoiler:
I was moved with her story: Her courage to take on the world to accomplish her dream, such courage, all this after such a rough life. Everything was going ok... then that gak happens. All because of that beating she got from her father. Yep, started crying right there and I don't think it stopped for the remainder of the episode,

I know.
I really liked that character. She was one of my favorites Angel Beats is possibly the only show I've seen that hit the metaphorical feel button with sufficient strength.

Aye, Its one of the top. Many Feels were had all throughout. Consequently its one of the few Animes Ive felt alright with the ending of. Don't get me wrong, I'd hop on the feels train for a 2nd season, But the way it left off felt right. One of the few I wont tear my hair out because its not continuing.
On the bright side I have a ton more Awesome Music thanks to the show so there's that as well!
