Best anime episode I saw last week has to be Steins;Gate ep. 16. I love this show, might buy it if it is released in the US or the UK.
Other than that I seem to be a big fan of slice-of-life shows, I think the last Ikoku Meiro no Croisée, Natsume Yuujinchou San and Usagi Drop (despite reading the manga) were great. Hanasaku Iroha is also still enjoyable.
I don't like Kamisama Dolls very much, the story is a bit weird and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I also dislike the main girls Hibino and Utao.
And Blood-C... after 3 half boring, half interesting episodes I think I'll skip the first half of every episode from now on.
No.6 episode 3 on the other hand was very interesting, I like the sci-fi setting and the mysterious deaths involving bees. There were the first signs of BL in this episode though, so I'm hoping it won't be a big part of this series, I'm not into those anime. Up to this point the best Summer anime to me.
My guilty pleasure of this season (or anime I like which I know is bad) is Mayo Chiki. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but still I seem to like this.
I ordered two manga series today, the second half (9-14) of Chibi Vampire and all of Genshiken (1-9 + "Guidebook" ). Also the new FMA 25. Now I have to wait two weeks for the package *sigh*. Oh well it saves me €26 shipping costs. I already pay enough shipping on all those EMS packages from Japan. >.<

Really? I'd recommend Mayo Chiki! to my friends if they needed something to watch
In fact, Mayo Chiki! is probably my second most favorite Anime I'm watching this season (first being Baka/Test season 2)

I'm sorry, as an anime fan it seems I just passed the Elitist stage and entered the Tsundere stage.
According to a certain blog there are 5 stages of an anime fan and I must say they are totally right in my case.
The tsundere stage basically means this:
_____________________
"I’m only watching this because it’s terrible. It’s just laughably bad. I don’t enjoy any of this. Every minute I spend watching this trash is making my IQ go down. I’m just watching this so I know what I’m talking about when I chew this show out later on my blog. I don’t think any of this is actually funny. I don’t like any of these characters at all. Nope. Not me. I’m too classy for that. *snort* Oh Natsuru, you’re so silly. *cough* I mean, one-dimensional and shallow. God, you’re such a waste of animated organic matter.
…I’m not enjoying myself, am I…?"
______________________
Yeah that sounds exactly like my previous post. Maybe one of these days I'll be honest with myself and move on to the last stage: Acceptance.
But at this moment it's a show in which in the first episode the main male character
-trips,
-falls over on a guy,
-his clothes rip off magically,
-oh no! It's actually a girl!
-his hand lands on an awkward place.
I just can't call that a good show (yet?
).
As for Baka to Test, I'm enjoying it very much as well, but considering the first two episodes are a beach episode and a trap beauty contest I can't call it a good show either. But good doesn't always equal enjoyment.

Well if I had to evaluate what kind of fan I am of Anime, I'd say I am more on the 'casual' side but slightly leaning over to the side where I may say out loud around my friends "Aaarh... I have one too many dimensions
". In fact, on my MAL, most of the series I listed as completed on there I've rated 8+/10. I'm not really a 'critic' about what I watch; if I find something interesting, then I think it's good.
Literally most of the Anime I watch is the slice of life/romance comedies, so in Mayo Chiki! I already knew that kind of buildup was gonna happen. Is it getting tiring for me knowing the main character is all "O_O OMG" when it happens? Not really. Because I am a huge 'fan' of silly events like that, I find it interesting.
Baka/Test S2 I enjoy greatly because of the elements it has like use of comedy, characters, and the voices behind those characters. I am aware that right now after two episodes (raws for episode 3 are out, not subbed yet at this time), it's kind of getting out of track in terms of the story... like the series was started out with fillers. For me, I don't think that's a huge problem because in my opinion, the above reasons outweigh the fillers. Also, since Baka/Test S2 is a 12 episode Anime, filler arcs aren't going to be terribly long; at most two episodes for an arc.
Above all, I watch Anime mainly to laugh. How Anime gets me to laugh is if it's interesting or not
