I've been watching anime for quite a while and I've been keeping up with the current releases. The series I've watched are probably too numerous to list and it would probably be best if I didn't do so.

Anyway, has anyone seen Steins;Gate yet? I know it's by the same writer as Chaos;Head but I haven't tried it out yet.

What do you recommend for a man who likes intelligent writing, prefers a show where people don't get punched into the sky by schoolgirls and gets annoyed when every character on a show is a child?
 
In Cross Game they're at least teenagers, and it manages to sidestep all the obvious cliches, even when the characters seemed destined for stupidity.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is rather good for intelligent writing, the main character is a teacher easily in his 20s. A lot of the characters are his class (which is about 75% female) but the cast also includes his random public figures and adults.

Ex:

The Kara no Kyoukai series of movies is also a good option, physics are approximately normal, everyone involved is at least college age, and there's a lot of philosophical banter. Especially the epilogue which is 30 min of pure philosophical banter.

That's just off the top of my head. I could probably name more after looking through what I've seen.

Welp I'm amused. Thank you, sir.

I've been watching Steins;Gate and enjoy it. It's pretty fun despite being utterly predictable. Amusing characters makes it watchable.

Best shows this season imo are Ano hi mita hana no namae bokutachi wa shiranai, Hanasaku Iroha, and Nichijou.
 
A slice of life anime I have been watching as of late in A Channel. It may be boring to most viewers, but I enjoy it.

I have also taken an interest in AnoHana (actual title is VERY long). Anyone watch this yet?
 
Last slice of life I enjoyed at all was Minami-ke. But only the first and 3rd series, and it doesn't hold a candle to Azumanga.

Good luck with that. If you can get to ep 8 without stopping I think the rest shouldn't be a problem.

And I might as well mention that Chie is a huge reference to Ciel. However she doesn't appear until the later episodes.

I'm already almost done with the first season. But something tells me the last four episodes of it, is gonna be more than just hectic. Rena's sudden "snaps" just scares me...

Nichijou was good. The others didn't really catch my interest.

Ore-tachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai has an interesting plot device, being a harem series it has the usual pandering but behind that it's doing something interesting with multiple personalities.
 
Best slice of life anime for me were Genshiken and Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. I highly recommend those. I don't think anyone who appreciates the slice of life genre have ever been disappointed by those two.

Okay I've been looking at random clips for this show and I rather like what I've seen. But I'm a stranger and novice when it comes to torrenting and finding fansites for dubs and all that. Where can I find this show online for the watching? Preferably legally, so I know everything's above the board but if that's not an option then could you at least point me someplace trustworthy?

PMing the details, I tend to prefer streaming.
 
I flushed Bleach down the toilet.

Currently watching
Steins Gate(Mad scientist)
Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai(something I would never watch because of all the silly ecchi, but it has some twists that interested me)
Ao No Exorcist(typical entertaining shounen anime)
Yondemasu Yo Azazel-san(Vulgar humor)
