    Sword Art Online (spoilerish): I know a lot of people don't like this show but it was perfect to me when I watched it, until after the first story arc. I absolutely loved watching it and it made me want to look for more shows like it and that's when I found BTOOM! and Log Horizon. Before this show I would just watch border-line hentai anime alongside reality television. Pretty glad I picked it up but pretty disappointed in the ending arcs for both seasons. I've watched the first story arc multiple times with friends when introducing the show to them and they have all seemed to like it as well.

    Shin Sekai Yori (From The New World): This was one of the anime that drew me over to watching almost exclusively anime shows outside of a few television series when they run. Something about the settings just clicked with me and I enjoyed it till the end. It's a short show but it was able to tug on my feel strings. I've watched it multiple times and I still get those same feelings watching it each time.

    Log Horizon: Again with the setting, I was drawn to this one after watching Sword Art Online wanting to watch another Anime with the MMORPG setting since I'm a huge fan of MMORPGs. It fits a different niche than SAO but it was still extremely enjoyable for me. It's not a show I'd watch multiple times due to the pace though.

    Parasyte: I loved the music that they put with this anime, it made the action scene seem much more intense to me. I loved the story and kept waiting every week for a new episode to come out. I could definitely watch this show more than once, I loved some of the scene and would recommend it if you like sci-fi action.

    Your Lie In April: Watching this show for me was just a roller coaster of feelings, I enjoyed almost every aspect to it and the classical music played in it was a big plus for me, it was a different pace and I'm glad I watched it. I wouldn't watch this one multiple times but I would recommend watching it if you haven't seen it and like slice of life, romance, music anime.

      SAO started so well, the first few (2 or 3 I don't remember) were really enjoyable, but it went downhill for the whole season. I did find a few enjoyable episodes near the end of the 2nd season. I prefer LH over SAO, but I feel the S02 of LH was a real let down.

      You should watch Overlord this season, same usual setting of being trap in a MMO. Hack//sign is pretty decent too.

      Shinsekai Yori is just godly. Now go listen to Dvorak.

        Where can I watch OverLord? I've got Crunchyroll and I don't think It's on there, I'll give it a go though! I've watched the first two episodes of Hack//sign but every time I try to watch it I get distracted by another anime or game. Thanks for the link as well!
