Yeah, that monthly update thing is what's holding me back a little from picking up the manga where the anime left off. But I'm also super-impatient for a second season! There are so many mysteries that need to be solved!

Ah, righteo, that's good to know about Free! I will persevere. :) Ta for the advice.

Hrm, I'm not huge on the gory/scary stuff... can stomach it usually, but it's a bit of a turn off. I'll probably get around to it at some point, but might put that one further down the list then.
