Here's something else to blow your mind. You know how Konata cosplays as Haruhi at her job and does the Hare Hare Yukai dance from the ending credits to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Well, Konata and Haruhi are both played by the same person 
I believe that's true of the English dub as well.

I thought the way they characterised him was too brash. He felt far too irritating to be the darker side of Sherlock that he usually is portrayed as being. Key word there is "usually" though - you're right in saying it was a different take, but it wasn't necessarily refreshing in my opinion.SckizoBoy said:
I also didn't like the fact that he didn't feel like he had any connection to the crimes he was said to have been behind. He just sort of showed up and gloated. I don't know, maybe that was the point, but I'd have liked to have seen him as, essentially, Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock but a villain, more like how he tends to be portrayed.
Bear in mind, I haven't seen the second season yet, so perhaps his character has improved or changed.

Also, Regular Show suprised the hell out of me. Great stories and funny voice acting. I mean, how can you go wrong with Mark Hamill as Skips? You can't.
As for live action, either Dexter, Top Gear, Being Human (US version), or Wilfred. That last one was great and I can't wait to see the second season.
Yah, knew that, and it amuses me immensely. That, and the following:FireAza said:Here's something else to blow your mind.

1. Konata getting all awestruck at an Aya Hirano concert (shouting 'AYA IN THE FLESH!!' [footnote]depending on translation, of course[/footnote] at some point)
2. Minoru Shiraishi playing himself (both animated and live-action... hilarious!)
3. Minori Chihara cameoing as herself
4. Tomokazu Sugita playing himself (less cartoonish, but still animated)
5. Animeito-san and Sugita-kun plugging Kyosuke (ex FMP) and Kyon (ex tMoHS) respectively (read: Tomokazu Seki and Tomokazu Sugita trying to promote themselves)
6. Daisuke Ono cameoing as himself
7. Yuuko Goto cameoing as herself (as a biker, which is genuinely how she is in real life)
8. Shiroishi!
Probably the best self-parodying (as in the voice actors themselves) references ever.
Fair enough, though with only three episodes, it'd been rather forced to introduce him directly except at the end of the season, which I thought was well done (by the scriptwriters). I always thought that previous incarnations of Moriarty were a tad formulaic while this one (which I dubbed 'refreshing') gave enough room for characterisation to be absolutely mad. And I don't know about you, but I thought that he was portrayed as being quite gloriously sadistic.EscapeGoat said:
If you like The Wire, you should like Breaking Bad. Breaking Bad has a faster pace (not too fast though), but is almost as brutal to its characters as The Wire was. The writing and acting are top-notch as well.BloatedGuppy said:
OT: I love a lot of shows, but it is Breaking Bad. It's no contest really. Since it first aired, I don't there has been a single dud episode. It maintains such a stupidly consistent high quality.
Oh I do intend to watch Breaking Bad, no worries there. I just want it to finish its run so I can watch it all back to back. I've heard enough praise for it that it's at the top of my must-see list.DustyDrB said:
He also said "If you were in the public eye givin? someone else a try.DustyDrB said:
And you know you better watch your step or you?re gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone?s gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside."
He said a lot of things. Most of them while high as a kite. =P
Thank god I'm not the only person who thought that. I watched three episodes and went "Is this all, really? Comic better not be as bad as this". Took it out of the library next day, loved it. Still do.CODE-D said:

The only shows I watched on a regular basis were Dr Who and MLP: Friendship is Magic.
I'm not a big TV fan, except for the odd documentary here and there. Dr Who and My Little Pony are the only shows I really enjoy watching anymore, they put a smile on my face between being bombarded by depressing news stories.
God damn it, reality, why can't we have REAL magical horse characters?!!

Aargh, this is a tough one. If I had to pick one, I think I'll go for Breaking Bad. The one who who introduced this to me was, ironically enough, my science teacher. Best teacher ever.
On the other side of the globe, my favorite anime of 2011 is Steins;Gate. 2011 was a good year for anime with quite a few gems. But S;G shined the brightest to me.
