Man I just recently finished watching Usagi Drop, but stupid I.G Production didn't adapt the whole manga and I heard the 2nd half of the manga is the meat of the whole story, might be the first manga I'll ever read... lol
any good anime/ manga to reccomend?
Have you seen the classics yet?
Clannad+Clannad AS, TTGL, Code Geass+Code GeassR2, FMA:Brotherhood? Those are a must watch for any anime fan haha you will shed manly tears in each of them as well
Some other (quite recent and new) animes you should definitely check out are: Steins;Gate (man this anime just made it into my top 5 of all time, so good), Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (Same company as the one who made Steins;Gate, quite similar too, friggin love it) and Usagi Drop (heart-warming slice of life anime), Maid-Sama (shoujo, pretty funny series) and Ao no Exorcist (typical shounen, very good).
Also currently airing animes which are extremely good too are: Mirrai Nikki (similar to death note
), Guilty Crown (probably the best visuals and animations out there), Fate/Zero (which finished airing not so long ago).
But yeh limme know which genres you like, I'm an anime junkie lol can recommend heapsssss xD
