Regarding Manga I'm reading these days...

Currently reading the Naruto and Bleach chapters to see if either have any hope. Signs not good.

One Piece - looked at the latest few chapters, one of the better shounen series available it seems. I've started reading from the beginning. You don't want to know how many chapters I read in a row.

Eyeshield 21 - still going strong, nearing the endgame. Also, loved the latest chapter for many reasons, but one stands out in particular.

To everyone who was in the ES21 RP way back when - Darth Yukimitsu is officially canon. Ya-ha~

So, yeah. Varies. I find I tend to appreciate novel-based anime more, anyway...

Eh. Trinity was ok until it started getting retarded near the end.

Actually, if you want an anime based on a novel, Kino's Journey is criminally underappreciated.

And there's Howl's Flying Castle. Can't go wrong with Miyazaki.

I chalk the weak ending arc to the fact that it is incomplete. I believe the original author died of a massive heart attack shortly after finding out it would be adapted. I personally like the bumbling, perpetually hungry Abel myself. And thankfully, that's the Abel we see most of the time. I mean, he wasn't always going Kresnik. I believe in Nightlords arc, he went Kresnik only at the end?

Funny thing is, no one I've shown Trinity Blood to at work says they like Abel. They don't hate him, but they like other characters more. One likes Tres and the other likes Leon. I actually really like the relationship Abel shares with Astaroshe (I keep wanting to call her Astaroth. DAMN YOU SHADOW HEARTS II!)
