DH and I just watched the anime Another. This one surprised us, because it's a horror story and we normally don't like horror (except for the Lovecraftian kind). But it started out more as a supernatural mystery and slowly built up the horror elements until by the time the over-the-top gory horror ending came we were completely hooked anyway. It was a really well crafted story. We finished the 12 episodes in just two days because we couldn't stop watching.
We have also started watching The Mystic Archives of Dantalian which is set in a sort of turn-of-the-20th-century sort of setting and features artifacts called "Phantom Books" that are magical books filled with knowledge which is, more often than not, not meant to be in this world. The protagonists are a Lord who has inherited his uncle's mundane and mystic library and a "Biblioprincess" who has specialized knowledge and access to the Mystic Archives. It's very interesting so far.
And we've started The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya which I had seen people mentioning fairly often in various places so I got curious about it. It is infinitely more insane and awesome than I anticipated.
