Just read the manga. The first anime adaption is shit (with an exception for a couple episodes like the chimera ones) and the second adaption is alright (especially toward the end) but the manga is still better.

Some mind blowing stuff right now. It really looks like Araki is going harder into the universe restart stuff than I thought. We already knew about the split from the end of SBR, but it's going crazy now. Jojolion could really end up as the best part, it's been nuts since the get go.

I take it this is the first time a Doujin ever sparked a good amount of readership, following, and comments from MangaGAF?
Man, Molester Man is just that awesome huh

Well this author already had a cult following.

I don't know, if the manga ended there it would have been one of my favorites ever, the followup is horrible.
I loved how in the anime L washes Light toes, like Jesus did with Judas.
In the anime he's more aware that he losed and that he's gonna die.
Interesting stuff, thanks for bringing these up. Also fuck N.

That's why the Death Note movies had a much superior ending.
It sucks at everything else though, but I wish they could remake the whole manga with the movie's ending.

So I'm confused, I was looking up Kindaichi Case Files and on wikipedia it says there are 59 volumes released and then goes onto show different series with the cases listed under them. And from what I can understand Amazon doesn't have anything after the first series. Someone mind helping clearing this up for me?

A Doll and His Master (one shot)
Pretty good story and world with the magicians. Thought it was a compelling base concept of how eating another Magicians heart can grant one abilities as well as the ability in this universe to try to place souls or etc in dolls and use dolls bodies to form magic objects. Really liked interactions between the magician and his doll, Seneca, as well as the plot

You know you're a badass when you can make exposed midriffs work.
Goodnight Punpun (IT. HAS. FUCKING. RETURNED.)
Setting the stage for some dumb/melancholic shit no less I bet. I also have the weirdest boner after that kiss Punpun laid on Aiko...
Magi
Aladdin's coming into the mix now? With all those mixed Fanalis as well? This is going to be fun. Kou Empire also looks like they'll be making a mess of things with this all.

Good Lord, the random Jojo's moments in this manga are inspired. :lol

Why did I hold off on this for so long?
If I recall correctly, that's Chapter 57 isn't it? You're gonna like Diana, I guarantee it.
The World God Only Knows 47-76
Okay, done for today. I think.
Shit seems like it's going to get real soon. Still Team Haqua, although Elsie has found a pretty favorable niche with me as a punchline to all the good jokes. I'm liking Diana and Tenri so far. Step right up, Two for one special on young nubile haremites!
Updated Rankings:

I can't wait to see your reaction to Chapter 116 and beyond.

Cobra 1
Whoa.
Cobra 2
How has Hollywood not yet commissioned someone to adapt this gold? It's the perfect excuse to do crazy stuff and still come across as reasonably self-aware!
Both of these volumes rock. The art's generally expressive, full of great little details, and undeniably creative; Terasawa's dialogue straddles the fine line between Golden Age dead-pan and more modern profanities; above all, Cobra's just a great character, and his interactions with Crystal Boy and the rest crack me up. I just wish Lady Armaroid found something to do.

Eyeshield 21 Volume 1-3
YA-HA! Boy do I regret not starting this earlier. The arts pretty good so far and I'm excited to see it improve as I continue. The story so far has been pretty good and it's engaged me enough to keep me reading but what's really shined is the characters. A bunch of new ones just got introduced so I'm looking foward to seeing more of them. I really like that the humour doesn't take away from any of the serious moments. Unless it gets really shitty I'll hopefully finish this before the new year.
Hayate the Combat Buttler 389
Poor Hina, she's destined to lose. I really want her to win but it really doesn't seem like she has a chance.

One of the more creative strategies I've seen in a battle shounen. That shit is Araki level right there.

Marika chapters confirmed for best chapters. Chitoge grudgingly gets +points for scoring the highest.
Hayate 389
And nothing happened.

And not just that, but he followed it up with a quick part 3 reference too. Yoko is such a JoJo fanboy.
Told you so!
What's up with Nisekoi these days? Did IS dropped it? Chapter 55 and 56 are translated by two different teams.
Molester Man
I don't think I stopped laughing once during the whole chapter. Speedwagon part killed me.
Anyway since when did Kansai and Undie switch in roles? She's such a bro now, I like her. I'd say why didn't he talk to her more all along, but like with Loli, it doesn't seem like Molester likes that her brand of attitude that much.

Read Jojolion.
One thing that has bugging me about Jojolion is the family tree.
In the end of Part 6 we see
alternate Jolyne
So is Jojolion happening in the same world of the end of Part 6? Or is

I was hoping he would die actually. It would be the Zeppeli thing to do.

I'm really enjoying the interaction between Molester and Kansai. She's just so much better than Miss Undie and definitely not as boring.
Of course they won't end up together.

The first two chapters are already incredible. "How are you supposed to exert compressional force upon your body?" :lol
Molester Man
And the plot thickens, so Kansai used the stalker thingy as an excuse but I'm not sure to achieve what exactly. Miss Understanding is much better being a supporter than the love interest. Two days till the next chapter with dat cliffhanger, fuck.
Nisekoi
It was alright, Marika doing what she's best at, being a joke character. Ruri's expression was great.

Someone put me out of this misery please.

How funny would it be if one of the girls actually read his thread on 2ch?

I stopped reading it bout a month or two ago cos frankly there was no real further plot development other than them doing the nasty. Out of boredom i thought I'd check out this chapter and doesn't look like much has changed.
Weirdly enough, I used to get annoyed that most romance manga/anime would kind of end with the characters getting together and not really look at what happens afterwards. Now I know I've been too greedy.

Goddamnit not the dogs.
Man, it's been awhile since I've brute force marathoned through a series, especially one this long, especially to like 5 a.m. Seriously fantastic, which is surprising to me because the person who i originally thought was the main character is kinda insufferable, although she does improve. Just love how it can be at once brutally nihilistic and also optimistic, the exploration of various post-apocalyptic scenarios, the exploration and depiction of a post-apocalyptic Japan and also the characters for the most part are pretty interesting, as well as the way the various team and relationship dynamics are developed.
TLDR this series is bloody fantastic.
