♥ Honey & Clover (see picture above) We just finished watching the second series of Honey & Clover and I absolutely loved it. The first series didn't end so much as just stop, leaving everything kind of drifting and unresolved (part of the subtle beauty of this series). I knew that the second series was going to tie things up somewhat, but I really didn't expect it to end how it did. The second series wasn't as funny as the first and is only half as long, but if you enjoyed the first series and care about the characters and want to find out what happens to them, then you must watch the second.
And if you haven't seen the first series but are at all into anime, you really should start watching it. Even if you think it's not the kind of anime you're into, give it a try. At first it'll seem a bit weird and you won't really be sure where it's going, but then you'll realise it's not really going anywhere, and that's the beauty of it. It's all about the confusion of youth and not really knowing what you want. I love it. Best animanga ever. Go on, start watching it now. (Oh yeah, it has a really weird opening credits, but don't let that put you off.)

♥ Ristorante Paradiso A really sweet 12 part anime series (though I've only watched seven episodes so far) about a 21 year old girl who gets a job working in a restaurant entirely staffed by middle aged men who all wear glasses XD She develops a crush on one of them in particular and begins to pursue him quite shamelessly, so if age differences squick you out then this isn't the anime for you, but the series is much more than that. Most of the episodes focus on one of the men in particular, explaining their backstory and/or exploring their personality, and it can be really touching and thoughtful. It's nice to see older characters in an anime for once, and characters that actually look their age too. And you can stream the entire series for free (legally!) over at Crunchyroll.
