Finished Korra this week, and Book 3 ended up being my favorite. Zaheer and his group made for interesting antagonists! For whatever reason I never really got into Kuvira, but the show was really good for being more about fighting ideas than just a single bad person though. Not much to say about the ending of the show as it was obviously spoiled all over the internet when it first came out, so I was watching the last couple seasons with that all in mind.
Much like with The Last Airbender, I'm very curious to know more of what happens after the show finishes up. I've been reading the graphic novels of TLA, so hopefully some Korra ones come out too.
I haven't read TLA ones yet but i'll get to them eventually. I always wished they did a TV movie epilogue of them finding out what happened with Zuko's mom rather than make it into a comic but Nickelodeon has treated the Avatar franchise like #### so i'm not shocked it didn't happen.

You should definitely read the TLA graphic novels. The hardcover book that combines each series into one book is fantastic and has extra notes from the writers and artist. They're enjoyable and do a good job of translating the show into a printed medium.
Just finished One Punch Man. It didn't live up to the hype for me. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was good, but people are talking about this anime online like it's a masterpiece. Yeah I didn't think it was THAT good. But I was entertained for the most part and got some good laughs out of it. I'll watch season 2 whenever it comes out.
Just binged through RWBY. It's a cool online animated series. I really like the fight choreography and the characters are pretty entertaining. Volume 3 in particular was really intense. I'd recommend it.
I've enjoyed the heck out of DBZ abridged, it's a youtube show where they heavily edit the original series into a comedy show, I'm consistently impressed by the extent of the editing and quality of writing, the first episode is a bit uneven, but after that the series is gold and stays gold.
If you loved the original series as a kid but now consider it unwatcheable garbage, this is the show for you

I was specifically coming in here to post about DBZ: Abridged. Super well done and incredibly hilarious. Some parts, with Vegeta specifically, had me in stitches.
I'm in the Android Saga and enjoying it thoroughly.
Re Zero is not at all what I expected it to be, am interested to see where it goes.
ReLIFE is a new one that is interesting as they released the whole season right away. I quite liked it, a little different than the usual slice of life fare.
Started watching Orange, also has an interesting premise.

Ugh, I've been trying to power through Death Note for months now, probably 3/4 finished but the pacing is driving me insane. I've hit a wall with the show. I'm just past where
Big ol spoiler. Seriously. Don't click if you haven't seen it
Spoiler!
Spoiler!
L dies
and have lost all motivation. Worth my time to finish this off? I've loved it up to this point but it's feeling tedious now.

I think most fans would agree that there are definitely two parts to Death Note: before L dies, and after. While the show as a whole is still very good, the first 25 episodes or so are much better than the last 12. You could probably stop now and be no worse for it, without spoiling much, because it comes predictable.
L was the best character, and his replacement isn't nearly as fun.

I really thought it started off as a kinda happy go lucky type anime where Subaru would just fix everything but his dying is taking a long term toll on him.
Trying to keep everyone that matters to him alive has driven him to insanity turning him in short order from a prideful idiot to an empty husk driven mad by despair. The entire episode was brutal, disturbing and depressing, especially when the credits roll.
Betelgeuse is an absolute lunatic as well. The mutilation and that eyeball lick...
Apparently this is when everything gets a lot more serious, at least from what people say about the source material.

It's like the writer painted himself into a corner by offing him and had to rush to quickly wrap everything up neatly.

Finally starting to watch the original Fullmetal Alchemist. I'm only a 6 episodes in but i'm liking it so far. All of my friends keep on telling me Brotherhood follows the Manga closer and that it's better. Is it better if I watch Brotherhood first?

Yes. The story is better in Brotherhood and makes a lot more sense than the original after they ran out of source material.

Brotherhood is definitely the better show but I think they are both worth watching. Brotherhood rushes through the introductory parts of the story so I'd actually recommend watching the original first if you're planning on watching both.
