My gripe with the anime is Akame and Tatsumi's hair. They look much cooler in the manga:

A minor issue but just a pet peeve of mine.

As someone who watched it live, let me just warn you: everything good about Strike The Blood gets balanced by shit of varying quality at some point. Namely, a promising first arc and an unsatisfying last arc... unless Season 2 gets an announcement.
In terms of manga, im reading: Naruto (This needs to end -_-), The God of High School (highly recommended, has nothing to do with high school tbh), Green Worldz (Horror manga), Tenkuu Shinpan (Horror) and i also recommend another horror manga called Doubt. It's a short series (21 chapters) but worth the time to read IMO. In terms of anime though, i don't really watch much due to fillers. I am highly excited for Hanamonogatari, and if anyone is interested in watching it when it comes out (August 16th) i advise you to watch the other parts (Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari, Nekomonogatari, and Bakemonogatari Second Season)
Attack on titan season 2 is in pre production!!!!

After to have planned so long to read it, I just ended yesterday Fourteen by Kazuo Umezu: one of the most crazy and not volountarily(?) ludicrous manga that I've ever read, but I loved it.
The story follow the different point of views of different characters fated to interact between them throughout the plot and all the work is full of wtf moments with unpredictable plot twists, reasoning based on absurd assumptions, unprobable technologies and the inclusion in the plot of any kind of sci-fi theme: very briefly there is literally no way to predict what will happens, but just this contribute to keep fully alive the interest for reading it; more I ended to be really fond of the main characters and the ecologist message of the work.
Just for giving some examples of the absurdity and comical feeling that I meant:
And the real crazy thing is that all this nonsense end to make some sense in the end! XD
By the way this is actually a serious manga with a dramatic plot, it's just that often absurdes plot devices or on the opposite pretty simple to appear almost silly, make see the thing with different eyes. However I believe that this effect was very likely something in the mind of the author.
The drawing is old style (nothing too much strange considering the age of the author) pretty simple with a good use of dark/light, however the author is able to create beautifule pictures in the covers of the volumes or for particular moment or close-up.
Has to be said that some parts of the manga are grotesque and violent, not suitable for everyone even if always more in the concepts than in what is visually showned. If I've to find some faults are the slowness of the first two volumes, apparently not for true storytelling reasons but almost giving the impression that the author was stalling, more some things never completely explained (but well, considering the nature of the manga they appear ordinary storytelling and not plot holes
).
Fourteen was the last work of Umezu and maybe his longest one: now I'm definitely planning to read his most known "Drifting Classroom" hoping to get the same feelings.

"During the Q & A session, which took place on the panel, Wada gave way to questions from the fans and confirmed that it currently was in the phase of pre-production. More exact information he could not yet tell." It's cool to see that they've at least started working on it! I'm also trusting Crunchyroll as a reliable source. haha"
Bring on the Hype train xD
