One Piece because I haven't watched Fairy Tale, and Bleach took a drastic dip in quality after the first arc, in my opinion. Also because One Piece is my favorite anime of all-time. That, too.
Shiki is my second favorite anime of all-time. Fantastic plot, amazing and interesting characters, brilliant execution, GENIUS character development, beautiful art, fitting soundtrack, uses the passage of time perfectly, incorporates moral gray-zones, I could go on and on about this series, really. And the OVAs were fantastic, too- more so the second one which explained Motoko's backstory. Also, those awesome, anime hairstyles, man.
I actually got to try playing Project Diva F a while ago. A friend of mine bought a region-free Japanese version for PS3 at an anime convention a while ago, and she let me play it for a bit. Meiko's voice sounded different- and far from a good kind of different at that. More high-pitched. I didn't care for it. And then there's the Nyan Cat song. I'm still in disbelief that it was actually there.
Either Aura or Black Rose- personally, I prefer Aura.
Chain of Memories for GBA, no doubt about it. I rage-quit so many times. To this day, I still haven't beaten it. I ended up buying the PS2 version later when it came out, and I managed to beat it that time, but that card system, man. Made things pretty difficult.
FF8, but the first one that I actually beat was Crisis Core.
The first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of insanely difficult boss battles -optional or otherwise- are the Devil Survivor games. Lucifer in the first game for optional, and Polaris and his billions of demons/extra forms in the second. Honorable mention to Shadow Kanji. Took me ETERNITY to finally beat him. ETERNITY. Although, Shadow Yukiko gave me some trouble, too, admittedly.
I will eternally miss Outlaw Star and The Big O, but hey, I'm just glad that Toonami is at least back. The new lineup isn't nearly as good as their older ones, but still good, I'd say. I'm especially glad that they brought One Piece and IGPX back. Deadman Wonderland was pretty cool, too, though it's not airing on Toonami anymore.
Unfortunately, I haven't read/watch as much JJBA as I wish I had. I've read parts 1 and2 and watched the anime while it was airing- pretty good adaption, I'd say. Those sound effects and vibrant colors. But out of what I've been exposed to, it's pretty good. One of these days, I'll read more of the manga. I've been wanting to for quite a while, I've just never gotten around to it. Especially Stardust Crusaders, I've heard LOTS of good things about that part, especially. Regardless, it's still the most fabulous and pose-tastic anything I've ever so much as knew existed.
I'm not particularly fond of any of the characters, but it's still a fantastic series so far. What it lacks in characters, it makes up for in pretty much every other department (EX: Storytelling, plot, atmosphere, art, soundtrack, etc.) Although, I suppose that though I'm not particularly fond of any of them, they still help make the story the way it is, so it's hard to complain about them.
I used to read them pretty frequently. The Archie ones, at least. I jumped in around volume 120-ish, and I don't even remember where I stopped. The main thing I remember is jumping in, and there being so many more characters in the comics, and having no idea what the heck was going on or who all these new characters were and why they were there.
