Wait...you haven't seen Full Metal Panic yet? Do it. Do it now...watch it in order of season.
Woah I wasn't expecting that, you make it sound like it's worth watching.  I was only curious because the jarring genre switching reminded me of Muv-Luv.

The serious seasons, certainly. The fanservice/fluff season is take-it-or-leave-it, but does have a few funny moments.

Definitely an enjoyable series. Got a good dose of action, comedy & serious stuff.

" A few"? Huh. Personally, I got a laugh pretty much every episode. FMP! Fumoffu (the 2nd season) for me is pretty much all the funny stuff turned up & laced with happy drugs. 3rd season goes back w/ the source materials serious stuff (but still had some fun).

For me it mostly depended on the mood I was in, and it was a while back, so my judgement might be off. Certainly there was a lot of d'aww.

Yeah I watched the first few episodes of the first season.  The manga is written pretty differently but the characters and settings are identical.  It's still pretty entertaining and the large alterations keep things fresh.  Also I don't know why but man...

It is pretty nice.

Fumoffu is a season? I always thought it was a separate spinoff.

I recommend Bakemonogatari to anyone. If you want to understand why it begins the way it does, read the light novel Kizumonogatari. The intro of Bakemonogatari is a brief overview of that.

I started watching Busou Renkin. Holy shit is this just the epitome of awesomely cheesy shonen action.

More reason to watch Bakemonogatari: Gabriel Blessing's crossover fic Honor Thy Masters.

Anybody happen to know if Fairy Tail picks up at all?  Its not directly offending my sensibilities like a lot of anime does, but for an anime about wizards its been a little boring so far.  Its got like 150 or so episodes, so it must get better though, right?

Read the manga, it gets a bit silly and less silly in some aspects. There are some pretty epic fights (if I imagine the action in my mind, since manga), but I'm not sure if that justifies it.

I just watched Steins;Gate, and I'm glad I did. that was a very entertaining watch. It's definitely one that takes a little while to heat up and see where things are headed, but i found the journey worthwhile and it's one of the few shows i might watch a second time someday, because of the strength of the narrative in the second half (i still have dozens of shows here to try out)

 Holy shit, I regret not watching shin-chan the first chance I got. First good laugh I've had all year.
