I watch anime on a 52" HDTV which is backed by a 5.1 setup, although TV anime is pretty much always 2-channel stereo only.
When I'm away from home I like to use my Touchpad to watch anime, since the screen on my laptop is pretty awful.

Idk, man, I might just be an unappreciative pleb in this regard. I don't really feel as if my viewing experience is being detracted from in any way. Just to clarify though, I do watch my animu on my comp, or even my tv from time to time.

I've been debating a tablet purchase for the longest time. Though, it does look like I'm waiting till Win8 atm. Android doesn't interest me in the tablet space, and I see no reason to grab an ipad at it's current entry price just for anime/manga. I missed out on the HP firesale

Urobuchi needs to do a crossover with Saya no Uta where Caster summons Saya. Would be cool.
Rider looking good in his new shirt. Hoping he gets to go outside and wander around next episode.

Hahahaha-screwdrivers-hahahahaha-where does Sorachi come up with this stuff?
When the greatest music ever written is in the public domain, it is indeed a win.

Yeah, I love him in that shirt. <3
Though why does he need pants? Did shorts go out of style? It isn't like they are tiny bike shorts.

I rarely ever watch anime on my telly anymore, and I've gone through quite a few series thanks to the Crunchyroll iOS app.

If you have an AppleTV you can airplay the Crunchyroll app onto your TV. The shows will even be in HD provided you are a premium member (And have an iOS device with an A4 or better)Regulus Tera said:

Gundam AGE 6
The cliffhanger. Ignoring Emily, the cast of Age is really cool, Flit, Wolf, and Grodek. Grodek really knows how to get things done.

Though what is Woolf talking about, what in the world could be better than a Gundam?!
Android has a Crunchyroll app, not sure if Android has something like Airplay but keep in mind Airplay is essentially the same as any other media server streamer just made by Apple.Miri said:
I actually have my PC hooked up to my computer and watch Crunchyroll through XBMC, but that's not actually supported by Crunchyroll, and Crunchyroll has Android, Boxee and Roku apps along with being included in some televisions. They're pretty progressive.
That depends, they have more content viewable abroad than Hulu but at the same time the amount viewable abroad is so minuscule that it's hard to say they're any better. I'm going to say "mostly empty words." I say mostly because there is some stuff people in Europe can watch but that shit is basically a total afterthought after NA.Defuser said:

Persona 4: The Animation - 3://Being Friends with Yukiko May Be Hazardous to Your Health
Catching up with this show finally.
This is the first episode which has showed some variance from the game. Dialogue is different, for instance. What's important is they are making an effort to tell the story in a way which is different from the game, which make sense since it is an entirely different medium.
The animation seems the same as ever, bizarre use of 3D shading continues to distract from talking scenes but as usual the fight scene animations are quite good.

They don't have a 360 portal, however, and haven't given word to one, which sucks. That's the only set top box I own, and am ever buying, so I'm hoping it's in their plans somewhere. Especially since Microsoft seems to be grabbing every content provider they can think of with this next--fall--dashboard update.

Ninja:"Yo my ninja skills is so awesome am going to talk about just how awesome my rad nin-jutsu is for the next 5 mins"
*5 mins laters starts to fight only for a second then stops to show off his so awesome demon sword*
Ninja:yo see this demone sword am going to tell you just awesome it is for next 5mins and its back story only for me to put it away to reveal that swords aren't my style".
*after 20 mins of boasting how awesome he is and his gear is, he loses in one hit"

Nonoha's title is great, actually being a worthwhile character makes her consistently enjoyable. I like this mini arc of sorts.
I cant wait for next episode.

The American POG head guy is bringing back suspense that was missing. The building ought to have collapsed faster. Puzzles were all easy though.

Persona 4: The Animation - 4://Being flammable may be hazardous to your health
This episode contains a lot of material not seen in the game. It's likely that a lot of stuff was written for Yukiko's backstory which simply could not fit in the game's narrative, so here it is for the first time, and in animated form!
I don't know why some people complained about this show's OP, it's just about perfect for the source material and its stands on it's own as an enjoyable Shoji Meguro inspired-Engrish song. It's quite well-animated as well. We're starting to see a lot more original music now, and tracks from the game are being reused less and less as Meguro is presumably composing more tracks while the show is airing.
The show's very limited budget pretty much always shows during non-action sequences, but I'm starting to believe this is by design. The action sequences are by far the centerpiece of the show, and despite the hurr-durr nature of the editing they are very well-directed and always enjoyable to watch. They seem to be purposefully starving the non-action portions of resources, and the ugly character designs are not helping this. However this tends to pay off rather impressively when the fighting starts. The Shadow fights have all been handled very well so far, with this episode's nearly 10-minutes long Shadow fight sequence the most enjoyable so far.
You really get the feeling that the staff, the writers, the director, and Meguro himself are all kind of feeling their way along with the material, as each episode has shown marked improvement in almost every way from episodes 1 to 2 to 3 and somewhere between episodes 3 and 4 they finally got to the point where they really "get" the source material and now things are really clicking and the show is humming along nicely now. In terms of how much it's improved, no show has come further from the rather lackluster first episode to where it is this episode so far this season.

Okay, How does a company with shit stacked above their heads produce something as amazing as Gankutsuou. Better players have tried and failed miserably on most accounts, but their adaption holds up even with the liberties they took. In most cases, it just gives it their own unique flavor while bringing forth the wonder of the novel.

Persona 4: The Animation - 5://Being a girl's doormat may be hazardous to your health
The first (of more than one?) S.Links-centric episodes.
The girl fight between Chie and Ai was awesome. The basketball game subs for the action scene in this episode and it's nicely directed with scenes of the fight placed neatly between scenes of the game. It's not quite sports anime territory here, since nobody yells out their special moves or charges up for a huge attack, but it was enjoyable to watch.
There are now remixed versions of game tracks standing in where the game's ordinary music would play.
Adachi and the Dojimas get some decent screen time as well.
I guess the plan now is to open each episode with a visit to the Velvet Room, so we can all enjoy Igor's awesome JP voice work.
There's a nice little sequence after the ED you might miss if you normally skip the EDs.
