Is it wrong that I love "The World Only God Knows"? I watched episode 10 last night...it didn't help that Shiori's voice was really high pitched - my 15 year old brother thought I was watching porn!

A wonderful series =3 I wish I had enough money for premium membership though.
 
Amagami Episode 24

Loved the Tsukasa arc, they certainly saved the best till last. Decided to re-watch the Haruka arc later in the day and i find that Tsukasa just nudges Haruka from my number 1 spot. Last episode next week with the special character and apparently its an hour long too

So basically its Tsukasa-Haruka-Kaoru-Nanasaki-Sae-Rihoku

Still going slow, to the point it has a second series airing next fall, much rather a fast paced two cour series.

I'm quite surprised to hear that. Most Jump adaptations (and a lot of adaptations in general) suffer most imo from rushing through stuff and losing some of the original's atmosphere. Within reason, I would always prefer a slower paced, better thought out adaptation.

For me it was nearly that, but then episode 24 was boring as ****. Saved slightly by Haruka's Santa outfit, and bringing back the "10 Years Later" idea. My order would be Haruka-Kaoru-Tsukasa-Rihoko-Sae-Ai
 
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu eps 12 to 19 - I still don't understand how it's possible to watch the Endless Eight episodes and not totally appreciate what you're watching. I understand how it's easy to jump to a snap decision and love trolling, but that's another matter entirely. The level of fidelity is incredible, the merging of form and content perfect, and the areas in which the show always impresses technically (voice acting, sound editing and background music, frame composition) stand up to this most vigorous of tests.

The World God Only Knows ep 11 - I love libraries, and I love books, and this arc has been my favorite so far. Shiori is a wonderfully delicate character. Second half of the season has been so much better than the first.

Otome Youkai Zakuro ep 11 - When even a show's character names stand out as being especially beautiful, you know you're on to a winner. Tsukuhane's story was told just as well as everything else has been in this show, and it continues to be at the absolute top of this season's shows.

Fairy Tail ep 58 - Nice emotional episode, Lucy is a really great character, keeps the series feeling fresh. Not quite as good as the Loke/Lucy episodes, but high quality.

Fortune Arterial ep 10 - Built up the atmosphere really well, fairly predictable outcome but required for the series to come to a head. Has been fairly consistently entertaining when it focuses on the vampire side of things.

Milky Holmes ep 10 - Arsene's relationship with the girls is probably the only interesting part of the show, but overall this seems to have lost its way. G4 are the most entertaining thing going on by a long way. Having said that, I still find it vaguely amusing, but not in any way that makes me pay much attention to it while I have it on.
 
Fortune Arterial ep 11 - Erika and Iori are both great, for very different reasons. It's been nice to have this as a slightly more "spectacular" and perhaps more traditional adaptation of a ren'ai game than the others currently running.

Shiki ep 20 - You could conceivably have been worried about how this show would fare once it was forced to step up the pace, but the more brutal side of things has had at least the impact of the more contemplative stretches. Still a contender for show of the year.

Ore no Imouto 11

Oh I see where this is going, I think, good episode, Nekomimi Kuroneko FTW. I think that the good ending will end with Kirino leaving for america but I don't think either this or the "true" ending will end with a pairing though

Out of interest, what lead you to your prediction for the "Good End"?

Crunchyroll seemed to withhold from me last week's episode of Panty and Stocking. As such, I had to endure the hardship of going without such a series last week.
Fortunately, it seems not that missed any crucial plot points.
 
Bakuman Episodes 9-11
My Little Sister Can't be this Cute Episodes 10 & 11
The Legend of the Legendary Heroes Episodes 23 & 24
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Episode 12
Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls Episode 11

The weekend is basically the only time I have to catch up with anime :p
 
I'm guessing you must be enjoying it if you're still watching it, but I would love to hear your opinion on DenYuuDen (or anyone else's, for that matter).
 
To Aru Majutsu no Index II ep 11 - speeding through half a volume in one episode certainly lends a frantic and tense atmosphere to proceedings, but hurts areas such as Stiyl's change of heart re: helping Himegami, and also maybe took away from the impact of Tsuchimikado's fight with Oriana just a little (although the slight reduction in scale and detail of the fights has been a general issue with how they have adapted this series). Outside of adaptation issues, I love the sequence of events leading from the hilarious sense of displacement with Komoe scolding Stiyl, up to Komoe's shift from teary eyed hopelessness to determination strong enough to compel Stiyl to go against his "pro" instincts.

MM! ep 12 - Actually a big step up from last week. Focusing more on the character side of things rather than just playing for silly laughs definitely worked. I don't think Mio is quite Taketatsu Ayana's best role ever (in fact, it's clearly not even her best role of the season), but she is very cute and vulnerable in her own way, and they use that well in this episode.

Bakuman ep 12 - Whereas focusing on the relationship stuff in this series is just totally blaaaahhh and feels like an episode wasted at this point.

Milky Holmes ep 11 - Hmm, I don't know if they left this too late for me to actually care, but it's good that they finally got around to recovering their Toys. Arsene's ultimate goal is, ostensibly, predictably villain-y, but I think she will end up predictably non-villainy by the end.
 
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru episode 11 - Thought this episode was the best of the series, from the return of Mr.Moriaki math stress to the Josephine arc, loved it and to be honest the Mr.Richman/Poorman segments didn't effect my enjoyment.

Fortune Arterial episode 11 - The tension is carried on from the last episode and the series really hits the "vampire" theme really well, a bit predictable however i'm looking foward to the final episode.

Amagami SS episode 24 - Technically not the final episode but Tsukasa arc was well done considering the short time it was made, the arcs before her's (except Haruka) could of benefited from the "10 years later" as maestro suggested

As for favourites i'd go Haruka-Tsukasa-Kaoru-Rihoko-Ai-Sae

Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge episode 11 - Its quite strange seeing the majority of guys playing like girls on beach (oh wait its Arakawa, I should of expected that) really funny stuff when Sister tries to join in.

The World God Only Knows episode 11 - The presentation was jaw-dropping, all those books falling off every floor was a really memorable moment for me and a fantastic end to the Shiori arc.

I like Coconna. She's silly.
