Amagami is totally worth the watch (3 episodes in).
Also, I literally burst out laughing in episode 3 (spoiler: Miya is the cause).

I dropped Ookami-san 3 episodes in. I know episode 4 is out now, but I have no interest in watching it.
It just felt like a pile of meh to me.
I can't wait for Amagami SS 4 to be subbed, and I'm still following High School of the Dead, stereotypical as it is.

A little update:
I'm still watching Amagami SS, because as olde as romance series are, I find this one fresh enough to keep me interested.
Oh, and finding out which female body part the main character will kiss in each arc is kinda awesome.
Ookami-san has been off my "Currently Watching list" for a while, no interest in catching up on it.
I just dropped High School of the Dead (Haven't seen Episode 8). Fan service in this series is way overdone, with the plot being incredibly cliche.
I watched the Legend of Koizumi OVA for some reason. I don't know why, really. It's about world leaders duking it out in Mahjong.
I lol'd, so I guess it was worth the watch.
Oh, and of course, still watching K-on!! season 2. Only 6 more episodes until the moe blob series is done.

It must be all the segued hails.
So, I get the idea from looking at Instanz.net's main page that the new season has started. Anything of interest this time around? Personally looking at 'Yosuga no Sora' and 'Oreimo', I might check these out... It's been ages since I've watched any anime. I've even stopped watching Bleach in favor of the manga...
Arakawa under the Bridge x Bridge (it's just the second season, nothing new, but I recommend the series)
I'll probably watch the second season of "Toaru Majutsu no Index" as well since I saw the first.
Only real new show I've checked out was "Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai" or "World Only God Knows." I mainly checked it out because I was curious and I doubt I'll keep watching due its unappealing plot, but I'm glad I watched it. Why? It has a great opening song. Thinking back, the show kind of reminds me of Code Geass, but applied in a different approach...
I want to check out "Fortune Arterial," but haven't gotten to it yet.
I can't believe I forgot to mention it...
IRON MAN ANIME WOOOOOO
...it doesn't look as bad as the Wolverine one.

I'm finding it really hard to watch any anime lately. I just came to the conclusion that most of the best anime are based on manga, so why not read the manga? Why risk an anime series leaving out important manga plot points or adding needless filler? Why risk an anime not lasting until the manga end and cutting off early with a filler ending? Why not read the manga and get a much more condensed story saving on time? Why not read the manga and get the latest story as it happens rather than months or years later?
It's been bugging me too much. I have to screen anime series too thoroughly now before watching them.

Yeah, but for some series, it's all about the voice acting and soundtracks.
You can't say the manga for Azumanga Daioh is better than the anime.
Well, you can, but then I'd have to cut you.
At this stage in my anime-watching-ness, I find it easier keeping up with new series, than finding olde torrents and hoping the download was worth it.
Not that I don't find occasional awesome series.

Have to agree with you on the initial sentence though. Some anime really seems like it would be much less worthwhile as a manga just because of the effect the acting and music have on you. Clannad, for instance.

Two reasons. 1. Animation, some things are just better animation. Gaara vs Rock Lee fight for example. 2. Alternate storytelling. NHK is a decent example, even though I haven't gotten around to reading the manga yet. The anime is good, and definitely worth watching imo. But even then, after watching it you can read the manga and get a whole new viewpoint- since it's different.
But yeah, I can understand the whole filler ending thing. Soul Eater is a great example. The last 2 episodes were utter pieces of ****. So bad that it was actually the catalyst for getting me to read manga. I'm still glad I watched the anime though, because up until that point it was superb.

Fist, full, of, courage...

Thanks for reminding me of NHK. I really need to read that. ****! Now I've got "Puru Puru Pururin" stuck in my head.

I agree for some series. I enjoyed Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni a hell of a lot more as an anime than a manga. The sounds really make the difference. Same with Ouran High School Host club. Without the voices attached to the characters, it's terrible.
Obviously both were in Japanese with English subs. Edward Elric's voice coming out of Tamaki's character is just TOO messed up.
It saddened me to watch the end of Strike Witches 2.
I hope they decide to work around and make another, or a spin off series. I mean, who will fight the war on pants now?!

Agreed. Although they definitely set themselves up for a spinoff... I just don't know if it will be as good.

It certainly helps that the artist does more pornographic works than non-pornographic ones.
