  1. Can agree with those that recommended Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy and the Codex Alera. Also, though the writing itself isn't very similar to Sanderson's, I HIGHLY recommend the Inheritance Cycle (Eragon). Also, someone mentioned the epic fantasy list on goodreads. The list of books with interesting magic systems might be of interest as well. Finally, there's a reddit thread with suggestions of books with the best magic systems with a spreadsheet containing a tally of all the votes. Frankly, Sanderson's books were rated the highest, and a number of the other top-rated series were also suggested here too, but there's still a bunch there to look at.
  2. Ryan is correct. Gintama has some great moments and some terrible moments. For me, the annoying thing was having a million TL notes per episode, for which I had to pause and read so I could understand the jokes. I really have to agree. It was superb up until the Chimer-ant arc (which was just horrible), but it seems to be picking up now which is promising.
  3. Some of my favorite series are (not in any particular order): Bleach Steins;Gate FMA Brotherhood Trigun Cowboy Bebop Attack on Titan Code Geass Mirai Nikki Deadman Wonderland Blue Exorcist Baccano! (all you Durarararara fans should enjoy this) High School of the Dead Death Note Hellsing Ultimate Others I'm currently watching/following: One Piece Fairy Tail Hunter x Hunter (2011) D. Grey Man Gintama Black Butler I guess these are basically the top JUMP anime plus most highly-recommended dubbed series As a clarification, is the OP meaning subbed anime (is that what you guys assumed), or does he mean just generally? As a general rule, I watch the English dub when available. This is mostly for 2 reasons: many series in Japanese have translations with cringe-worthy grammar, and because I have yet to find a bad Funimation dub of any decent anime series. (I do not mean to imply that the dub is always better than the orig Japanese cast.) Mostly I find that if I'm watching a series with subs I feel like I'm reading and not enjoying the animation/graphics; if I want to read I can just grab a book...
