No problem. I have seen the first episode of Seven Deadly Sins and caught one or two later ones when a friend watched them. I thought it had a lot of neat things in it (the pig is amazing), but I didn't feel like watching it, because it felt like a lot of other "gather the crew, fight the bad guy" fantasy anime. Calling it that is of course very general, and I know plenty of people like it, I just didn't get into it.
I collect the recommendations from the July Who Gives Who in this thread: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1530124
I only got the idea last month, and I may not do it every month, but I figured I might as well just watch something that a lot of people think is good. :P It's not a surefire way of determining quality, but it usually does weed out the bad stuff, because people can usually not agree on what is good, but there is always something on which everyone can agree is bad.
Thank you! That's quite the compliment. Very nice of you to say.
I've been following Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (by the same creators as Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan), though I've only one episode left. I'm also following Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken) with a friend. Other than that, nothing else. I finished up a bunch a few weeks ago, so I'll prolly pick up a few of the most-suggested Comedy anime from the Monthly Anime Club that I haven't seen yet.
So in the Monthly Anime Club, I suggested to you Hunter x Hunter (2011) and Code Geass to watch. The two are quite different from another, but they're both really good and easy enough to get into. I'll try and justify why I think that they might be up your alley.
I haven't seen much of HxH, but it has about the same mix of comedy and spectacular fights as One Piece, which I've watched (and read even more of). The animation is gorgeous, and the fights aren't just about powerhousing other powerhouses, but they're genuinely clever. I can't really go into a lot of detail on this one, because like I said I haven't seen much of it, but generally the people who've enjoyed other shounen like One Piece or Fairy Tail end up liking Hunter x Hunter quite a bit. (I would've suggested Fairy Tail, since it's even more like One Piece, but it's probably too similar, and not very good, in my opinion.)
Code Geass has a bit of the feel of Kuroshitsuji (I'm working mostly from educated guesses--I haven't more than an episode of Kuroshitsuji, but friends of mine were avid fans), since they share the same sort of strict society that mirrors Victorian England (literally in Kuroshitsuji, slightly differently in Code Geass) combined with mecha a la Gundam. The main character is overall best compared to the protagonist from Death Note, so if you end up enjoying Code Geass, that might be a nice follow-up. The focus isn't on the mecha, but on the chess master-like plots between the main character and the antagonists. It's got a lot of twists and turns that leave you wanting to know what happens next as a result of the changes in the situation. I could go on for a while, because it's really good and one of my favourite anime of all time (and I was really hesitant to watch it because I typically don't like mecha anime), but I feel I shouldn't go into too much detail and allow you to experience it for yourself.
I know it's super popular, but I'm not compelled to watch it as of now. Maybe in the future...
Fullmetal Alchemist rocks. I miss watching the 2003 version.
I agree with you, but I'm acually afraid of One Piece's end. If it will be a bad ending it'll just ruin everything it built all those years... I don't want this to happen, I'd like it better endless

Merry Christmas, btw.

I think it's Fire Fist Ace (:
When I started to watch One Piece it was also because I saw an AMV about him and it was fucking awesome
By the way great profile pic. Ace (:
