Akagami no Shirayuki-hime, Aoharu x Kikanjuu both look at least watchable, but there's nothing really special about them,

Charlotte, Classroom☆Crisis, Gangsta, Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri, Rokka no Yuusha, and Working!!! are all probably going to be the most enjoyable out of the season (varying degrees of enjoyable admittedly)

Jitsu wa Watashi wa's manga is really funny but I haven't seen the first episode yet, so take that with a grain of salt although I'm sure it'll be watchable as well

So pigtails/twin-tails unnaturally look amazing on anime women, but look horrible on real-life people. It's either my addiction to anime, or they just look bad with twin-tails.

I googled "women in pigtails" and it made me disagree with you.

so on recommendation from ywjf i watched darker than black.

it was entertaining to watch, i enjoyed that character development and story progression... but the plot was difficult to follow, and i feel like i've failed to understand some crucial details of what was going on. especially regarding yin, who was really starting to grow on me before halfway through the OVAs. i don't even understand what happened to her. and the ending seemed to be inconclusive. now i have nothing left but emptiness and sadness.

Yeah, Darker than Black has some really bad-ass characters an action scenes, and they really hit the atmosphere hard methinks. The plot has always been its weakness though, and I never really understood completely what happened in the ending, which probably contributed to my disappointment in Seasons 2 and 1.5. Not that Season 2 was any less confusing, that probably had one of the most confusing endings to an anime period.

Darker Than Black was actually one of the first anime I watched lol. Good Gateway anime.

Can't believe I just caught up to Berserk I don't know what I should do now. Anyone got any manga recommendations that are similar to Berserk?

You could try Ubel Blatt, Vinland Saga or Kingdom. They're not exactly like Berserk but they give off a similar kind of feel in my opinion

I posted some stuff on the OP in terms of recommendations, but to be honest with you I don't think there's a manga quite like Berserk. Vinland Saga and Vagabond are probably the closest two I can think of to Berserk. Vinland Saga is basically non-fantasy Berserk w/ vikings. Vagabond on the other hand, while being violent, is a lot more about self-fulfillment and character development. It's a very honest manga.



Speaking of manga though, I'm re-reading One Piece. This manga is fucking amazing, I swear I read it again and its still just as good. Probably my favorite manga right now again.
