Battle Programmer Shirase

 

Here is a funny one as hell, mainly for those who like programming and computing.

The story of BPS revolves around a "freelance programmer" named Akira Shirase. He's a very talented, yet mysterious computer programmer. Because of his incredible abilities, he's contacted by several individuals to do all sorts of strange computer-related hacking/security jobs. He's a very quiet guy who lives alone in a small apartment near his niece's house, he is more like a hikikomori guy.

Bartender - on holding

Yep, exactly it's a story about the nightlife of Ryu Sasakura, a bartending prodigy who is said to mix the best cocktails anyone has ever tasted. Sasakura bides his time in a bar named Eden Hall, hidden in a nook of the Ginza district in downtown Tokyo. It is said that normal people cannot simply find and enter Eden Hall, but they must be invited in by the host. Over the course of the anime, various figures of high and low stature, all of who share unusual troubles and heavy burdens, are "invited" into Eden Hall and are treated to Sasakura's fine drinks, which, with guidance from the young bartender, lead the customers to reflect on their lives and decide on a course of action to tackle with their problems.

I'm still watching and like it very much, it's a different view about how to appreciate a drink and to know why to get drunk is not a way to feel better about the problems in life.

Bakemonogatari - on holding

Bakemonogatari centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third year high school student who is almost human again after briefly becoming a vampire. The series tends to introduce only one new heroine per chapter, each involved with a different "apparition". Most of them have an item which symbolises their spectres, such as Hitagi's stapler - the claw of a crab, Mayoi's back pack - the shell of a snail, Suruga's leggings, and Nadeko's big hat and baggy jacket - the head and skin of a snake.

I'm still watching the anime, besides the moe thing, the animation is really neat and there are some good action scenes. There are a lot of novels, btw.
