This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.
Rules:
Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don't personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person's recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.
If you want to post something that (you know) has been recommended before, but have another recommendation to add, please link to the original, so that the reader has both recommendations.
Please use the comment trees for genres. There is a meta thread for comments about future threads.
If you think there should be a thread for a particular genre of media, please post it to the Other Media thread for now, and add a poll to the Meta thread asking if it should be a thread every month.
In progress manga: Uchuu Kyoudai, a story for grown-ups about becoming an astronaut. Also neat because nearly all the characters are intelligent (and even act like it!), and that's treated as normal and fun.

Anime/manga:
* Oyasumi Punpun scanlations have continued updating: the series is becoming ever more harrowing and difficult to read as it nears the end. I'm glad I started but I'm not sure I'd recommend it.
* Milkman manga: weird and sometimes hilarious.
* Thermae Romae anime: even weirder and more amusing, and the 3 episodes means that it doesn't outwear its welcome before the gimmick gets old.
* Upotte!! anime: I enjoyed the battles and found the gun nut parts mildly interesting, but the sexualizing and fanservice with a weak finishing episode mean I can't recommend it.
* Humanity Has Declined anime: lovely artwork, hilarious end to the first episode, and it's continuing to hold my interest up to episode 6; we'll see how the rest goes.
* Joshiraku anime: a disappointment, and I say this as a Sayonara fan.
