Manga
I've been reading Full Metal Panic: Sigma, while watching The Second Raid alongside it. It's interesting, considering it has some differences from the anime. Some for good, others for worse. I prefer the Anime, but the Manga is good too.
The other two manga I've been following, The Lies of Sheriff Evans: Dead or Love and Shibuya Near Family are both still fun.
Anime:
I've recently watched Gundam 00 - I wrote more about that here.
Tokimeki Tonight is still a fun show when it comes to the wacky comedy and artsy backgrounds.
Ranma 1/2 (1989) - Rumiko Takahashi's writing is consistently entertaining, and over a dozen episodes in, it keeps delivering. Will the show be able to keep up? I hope so!
Another entertaining show is You're Under Arrest!. Is it copaganda? Yes. Has a certain aspect of the show aged poorly? Also yes. What the show excels in, are the villains of the week. Strike Man will be living in my head rent free for a bit, I suppose.
Dragon Ball Z is peak, over 60 episodes in.
**Western Animation & Live Action **
I'm still watching Gravity Falls, and it's good, if formulaic. Apparently people dislike Mabel and like Dipper? Because so far it's the exact opposite for me lol.
Also, I started Andor. I like it so far, but it's clearly still cooking at this stage.

I have started on one piece (again) even though I am (1) far too old for one piece and (2) actually very time poor because I'm an honours by research student. Around 100 chapters in which is close to where I gave up last time because the place I was reading changed from a pretty good translation to one that was so piss-poor I couldn't figure out what was going on - I got up to the initial meeting with Dorry and Brogy iirc. This time I'm just past the entry into Grand Line, Luffy has promised to come back and duel the whale and they're fighting their way out of whiskey peak after the betrayal.
It's still a fun read! Maybe overrated but as I say I'm really not the intended audience.
