I usually just watch the recent animes that come out... but eventualy a go around cata, Kroptik, UruseiNeo and sometimes janus list to see if theres anything to see to pass time... Darker than Black was one of those... ;D

This websites... Animekon and Tvkon are a good source to find anime or reviews.

I rarely update my MAL exept on the things that catch my interest. many times I don't feel like completing anime even though its good and time passes and I eventually forget so I drop them.
this are very good sites you gave falling I'm bookmarking.

since there is no manga recommendations I will post this here
while I was looking at the site tv konI found a trailer of a very good manga that is now getting an anime adaptation.
its called Mirai nikki or Future Diary (giving me a hard time finding the licensed manga)
if you like Death Note this is sort of the same thing with twisted plots but more action oriented
here is the trailer I saw
#Invalid YouTube Link#
this is something I got Cosmic king hooked on

I go to every of my friends' Anime list once. Add every series that has either 9 or 10. Ahah, this is my way of making sure that I'm not wasting my time. xD

Hmm... Then you're missing some good animes... because I sometimes act as the Russian judge in a olimpic event... Even if every other judge gave a 9 or 10 I'll give it an 8... XD
Not because I didn't like it... it's mostly because I'm waiting for a 2nd season... XD

Most of my TOP ANIME EVER!!!! (lol) is rated an 8 on my Anime list because of plot holes and/or fillers/some boring episodes. Samurai Champloo and Xam'd: Lost Memories are examples. LoL

you are a really tough in rating anime. The lowest I've given was a 2 and only because the anime was a sequel that turned to a completely different direction, comepletly lacking the elements I liked about the first. actually I have a second worst from the same series, but I forgot to include it in my list

@Superchick24 mirai nikki and Future Diary are the same series, the second name is the translation of the first.
If you are not convinced, copy and paste this at google translate 未来日記

I'm tough in rating but I'm not tough when I recommend Anime to people.

Call me a nerd but when I watch Anime, I always rate each episode from 1 to 10. Then I see what the average classification is. That's the rating I give the Anime in question. When I rate an Anime, story, art, episode fun (basically if the episode was amusing), music and characters. All together make a rating of an episode.

As you may already know, it's REALLY hard to have results higher than 8. In fact, even getting an 8 at the end is really difficult. One Piece (yeah... +400 episodes on a math count I know LoL) began on an 9 to me. On episode 10 it was close to 8,5. However, fillers and slow pace story hurt its rating quite a bit so it's like 7,3 or something.

But like I said: Hajime no Ippo on my list is an 8 but OMG!!!! what a masterpiece!!!! So, when ratings are 8 is like saying "awesome BUT beware for fillers/boring stuff, too".

@janus: Sorry i meant to say i love Mirai Nikki as well as Pandora Hearts...I realize Mirai Nikki and furutre diary are the same...lol...but have you heard of Pandora Hearts?? Its a great manga and ive seen the anime. Very Interesting. Badically its very action packed and uses ideas from The story Alice in Wonderland.

I'm not aiming to be a judge, though. I'm aiming to be a lawyer. ;D

But yeah, I'm tough on ratings, I admit. =)

I usually wait for one of those visual guides that contain little reviews on the newest anime series

Sometimes I wait for an anime to end as way for me to fully enjoy it

Mirai Nikki looks promising in that video
