Psycho Pass was a good one alright! You should definitely enjoy the remaining episodes. They're epic.

I recently finished FMAB and Toradora, and loved them both. I also completed Norigami, but I was dissippinted.
Spoiler: show
The story was kind of bad, it felt really inconsistent at times. I didn't really like the characters either.
I'm still watching Kaichou wa Maid Sama, Yu Yu Hakusho and the second season of Sword Art Online. They're all fine, but nothing's amazing.

Soon I will definitely be watching Little Busters. It's constant comparisons with Clannad make me really anceous to watch it :p

FMAB is amazing. I still have three episodes of Psycho-Pass left to watch, and if they are good enough, FMAB will be kicked out of my Top 5. Little Busters is nowhere as good as Clannad and the plot is completely different. It is similar to Clannad because both Anime were adapted by the same studio (KyoAni) from visual novels that were both created by the same producer (Key), thus they deliver an identical atmosphere.

I like Noragami. It's quite enjoyable, but yes, the story is kind of weird. I'm not some sort of strictly religious person, but it doesn't make sense if you think about it and is full of plot-holes. Yato is one of the greatest characters ever, though. Yukine has a rather inconsistent personality and Hiyori doesn't feel integrated at all. That's where Noragami wasn't well written, too. A main character has to be directly involved with the plot to be one, but Hiyori is like a side character that gets more screentime than the main characters. I gave Noragami a 7 though. It kinda broke my heart when it ended, though. I suggest you to watch the OVA, at least the first one. It was damn hilarious imo.

I wouldn't say that Psycho Pass is as good as FMAB, but that's obviously my opinion. I guess it depends on your tastes which one you will end up liking more. They're both great series anyway. Have fun with the final few episodes. And yeah, I know that Little Busters won't be anywhere near as good as Clannad (As if anything even exists that would be better:p) But as you said, it's from Key, which is the original creator of Clannad, as well as Air and Kanon (All adopted by Kyoto Animations, as you said) which all have the same style that I absolutely adore. That alone is enough of a reason to deeply look forward to it, even if it will probably be different from the other three.

I haven't seen the Norigami OVA yet, but I will now that you mention it. Your right that Yato was a great character, but his personality took some getting used to. I liked Hiyori, but not Yukini. I guess it just felt too random at times. It was still enjoyable, though.

Psycho-Pass feels stronger than FMAB, imo. And yeah, I can't imagine anything to be as good as Clannad tbh. That one surpassed the maximum for me. Little Busters has a similar style to Air and Kanon (and yes that style is awesome). Angel Beats was also made by Key and adapted by KyoAni, but it's COMPLETELY different from the other shows.

Yukine has an unnatural personality. First is like the average teenager, then rages because he sees other people in his age, then turns into an asshole because he suddenly doesn't give a fuck about anyone else anymore, and regrets it because y not and turns into a good sinless doggy.

I don't know about you guys, but I like Little Busters! better than Clannad. Wait, let me rephrase that, I like Little Busters! Refrain better than Clannad After Story, there we go. The first season many not look as appealing as Clannad, but the second season certainly does, and man I've have to say I haven't cried as much with a anime as Clannad, but Little Busters! Refrain is one of those that really touch you where you feel it the most. Kyousuke and Riki's farewell made me cry like a little girl (I feel like that may make me feel embarrased later but it is true!!!11!!).

About Anime I'm watching here are the ones I'm hyped with the most:
- Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu (The first episode went off to a great start. It's not incomprehensible or unpredictable, but it certainly intrigues me.)
- Log Horizon 2nd Season (They certainly did make me want to keep watching, overall the end of the chapter where Shiroe and Akatsuki were talking about "SPOILER ALERT" dying?)
- Magi: Sinbad no Bouken (The OVA's first episode was launched a couple of months ago, but it was announced that the second episode it's going to be launched pretty soon.)
- Naruto Shippuden (I may not had be hyped at the beggining of the war, but it's turning out pretty interesting lately.)
- SAO II (Second season, yet stands out and honors its prequel. I like how they introduced guns, not just that, going deeper into Kirito's feelings for killing some players from Laughing Coffin. We didn't get to know much about them in the prequel, just 2 episodes ever were about them, and honestly, I'm kind of happy about that. There just was so much to do with these series, and there were many things left untouched in the prequel, Laughing Coffin being one of them.)

And that's it. I'm watching some others, but I'm not hyped with them as with the ones mentioned here.

Well that was an evil spoiler. I didn't watch refrain yet. Luckily I was already spoilered about the end, but I don't know about sezixor. Yeah, Kiseijuu will probably turn out to be pretty good. I only don't like how they replaced some scenes in the Manga with others just to make it a bit darker. Kiseijuu is actually quite lighthearted with some comedy, but they took those parts out. And yes, I read the Manga and it's going to become something pretty good later on. About dying in Log Horizon, that was already explained in the first season. I even remember which episode it was because it surprised me so much. It was the 14th episode called "World Fraction", where that magician appeared the first time.

I started watching Hunter x Hunter (2011) and I love it so far! The ending is absolutely amazing, as is Hisoka and I guess I like Killua too. It's really fun to marathon. To be honest, I've rarely encountered an anime that is so fun to marathon as this one is. I'll recommend it to everyone.

Gon's a bitch though. Especially his voice is annoying.

Hunter X Hunter seems like it's going to be great, I've heard great things about it. I'll definitely watch it eventually.

I've started a few new things as well. I recently started to watch Nagi no Asukara and its absolutely amazing. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with such a few number of episodes seen. Its definitely one of the best anime I've seen in a long time.

Next is No Game No Life. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions about this one, but overall it's quite entertaining and has been fun to breeze through. The characters are hilarious and that's pretty much what's made it so fun to watch. It’s still great even though it doesn’t have much of a story (To be clear, I've seen 9/12 episodes).

Another one that I've been watching is Natsume Yuujinchou. This one, on the other hand, has been really, really disappointing. I heard so many great things about it, but so far it's been a big letdown. Its sequels are supposedly supposed to be even better, but I'm not sure at this point. I'm at the verge of dropping it.

Thank god I read the forum posts from the bottom to the top in this instance, because if I hadn't, then I wouldn't have read your post about there being a spoiler until it was too late. Whatever it was, I'm sure glad I didn't read it. Not that it isn't obvious that you shouldn't read anything about something that you haven’t already seen, but it would definitely be great if we could all refrain from posting spoilers without putting them themselves in a spoiler box to prevent ruining things for anyone.

I'm actually watching Nagi no Asukara as well lol. I hate pretty much all characters though. They're all annoying to me.

That's honestly understandable, and I can definitely imagine that there are others that feel the same, since of them can be an ass at times and a few of the others appear to be kind of weak. I still kind of like them, though. They're interesting. But we all have different opinions and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's mostly that crybaby that's annoying. She's the cause for so much unnecessary drama that doesn't even need to be dramatic.

Finished Nagi no Asukara halfway, and I gotta take some stuff I said about it back. The first three episode just weren't good at all. The next three episodes it got okay, but nothing special. Then, starting from episode 7, it got super awesome. It became some sort of emotional roller-coaster where almost every episode gives you goosebumps or even makes you shed tears. That soundtrack is SOOO amazing I can't even put it in words. The characters are still annoying though, and I'm still not digging the constant over-dramaticization.

I also watched 40 eps of Hunter x Hunter now and it's absolutely great. Love Killua and Hisoka.
