    True.

    It's very jarring when it's like High School of the Dead.

    Mind you Fairy Tale's fanservice is okay, and so's freezing.

    Although, one character is always swims naked...

    The World God Only Knows.

    Watched the first two seasons about 2/3 years ago. It was quite funny but nothing really special. So much so that I was going to skip season 3. I am glad I didn't. The 3rd season really makes it. I liked it so much that I am now reading the manga!

    I felt the complete opposite. I loved the manga initially but I felt it really fell of in terms of quality around halfway through the goddess arc

    Some parts of that arc did seem a bit messy especially after watching the anime first.

    I am mainly reading the manga to find out what happened after the Goddesses Arc (and to fill in some of the skipped bits) but he has changed direction and it will be awhile before he get backs to what I am looking for.

    The current arc isn't great but it does add to the story and there are moments...

    High School of the Dead

    That was hilarious! It was so outrageous! Those bullet dodging scenes!

    A bit of shame really, as I liked the story. Perhaps, I'll pick up the manga.

    High school of the dead was amazing,

    Samurai Champloo, my all time favourite.
    Downloaded it again for a rewatch.

    I actually don't mind the fanservice in HSotD because it's so OTT and the show itself is very tongue-in-cheek, so it's not like I take the show seriously at all. What especially annoys me about fanservice is when it's in a serious show and it sorta breaks the immersion in the story, and that's always a bad thing.

    Yes, great show. Don't forget to watch the OVA before the second season.

    Is the manga any good?

    Gantz really annoyed me.
    I kept shouting at all the characters cause they were so unlikeable.
    Maybe I shouldn't have had that bottle of vodka before watching it :)

    I'm only 4 episodes in, but yeah, unlikeable for definite so far. I didn't have any illusions of it being deep and amazing, just a sci-fi action gore brutal mess :p sometimes I like that in a show. ;)

    showing herself Jin-Roh :D

    I haven't watched it yet but I hear the anime is dreadful in comparison to the visual novel!

    Re: Gantz

    The anime stops right as the manga starts getting really good (volumes 10-24 or so are brilliant.) Shame the series ended so badly.
