No problem. One thing to note is that everything I listed that I didn't specifically note as saying I haven't seen it has been dubbed, at least first seasons in the case of Log Horizon and Durarara!!.

Anything by Naoki Urasawa. It's just good story telling.

I tend to say "this series is widely considered to be among the best anime, and it's because X, Y, and Z. Give it a shot, watch an episode or two on netflix, I think there's a good chance you will enjoy it."

A few anime I would suggest would include the question: What are you into?

Ha, just saw that last night since Netflix finally got it. I would say that limited series and movies differ from anime series (where I find I'm disconnected in a big way). To the point where I'm feeling like I'm not the anime fan I thought I was. Its really hit and miss I think with ongoing series. With very few…

I think a lot of the problem is some of the most trope'd elements of anime, which are now done as much as self-parody as anything, can be really annoying. The overly cute moe characters squealing "oni-chan!", the creepily perverted male protagonist, endless fan-service, the very cheesy sense of humor, all that can be…

Hmhh, reminds me of the The Big Bang Theory paradox - people who aren't nerds don't understand them and think TBBT would be just a perfect sitcom for them.

It really kind of depends on what you're looking for, but I would put forth Summer Wars, Wolf Children, and Silver Spoon, as great starter anime. They are all relatively short (heck 2 of them are movies), have great stories that are a fair bit different than what folks are used to with western animation without going…

Maybe self promotion but try something in here? http://anitay.kinja.com/where-to-start…

Women everywhere:

I was a bit confused about this article until I reread the title. I thought it said “Shockingly ‘Looking For a Girlfriend’ Dude Seems to Kinda Like Dick”.

he likes “petite women that are heavy chested”

He drinks budwesier out of a can, so you know he makes bad decisions.

Bring back the games. And have politicians battle it out for their nominations.

Might even be room for a good chunk of Justin Bieber fans if you pack ‘em right.

Fill it with One Direction fans and close it up.

I'm a copyeditor, so I should agree with you, but while "seated" is correct grammatically, "sat" is the term more commonly used in restaurants so it's more accurate in this context.

Humm. Perhaps they can completely "close the circle" with a crossover? Will we eventually learn that the Army of the 12 Monkeys is actually a deep-cover operation run by the the Ilaria Corporation? : p

I was going to say Briticism, but I don't believe there's PF Chang's in the UK or Oz. I suppose Rosa could be an expat.
