I'd also like to apologize in advance for the length of this page. For what it's worth, I'm not expecting you to read all of this. It's mostly just for me XD ALSO: Spolier Alert! If you haven't read one of these series and you plan to sometime soon, you might want to skip it's entry. I talk about some stuff that happens late in the series in most of them...
SO, in no particular order...

Inuyasha
Ships -
All canon, with a little InuKoga mixed in XD (I'm a sucker for slash sometimes)
Favorite Moment -
When Inuyasha was possesed by that lady flea (whose name escapes me) and tried to seduce Shippo.
There are not words to describe my hilarity.
The series finale made me cry. Not because it was particularly sad, but because I was so depressed that there was no more Inuyasha for me to watch :(
Ouran High School Host Club (both Anime and Manga)
Ships -
Tamaki x Haruhi, Hikaru x Haruhi (I'm a very conflicted person)
Favorite Episode -
Tamaki's Unwitting Depression. Simply the visual of Tamaki being severely depressed and then also
everyone freaking out was just great.
Full Metal Alchemist
Ships -
EdWin, Roy x Riza, Al x May (ahahaha)
Favorite Quotes -
"DON'T CALL ME SMALL! I'll BREAK DOWN YOUR LEGS AND STICK 'EM ON YOUR HEAD!" - Edward

TINY MINISKIRTS!" - Roy Mustang
"Oh, and get a wife!" - Hughes (to Mustang)
"Who would want to eat white liquid secreted from a cow!?" - Edward
Favorite Characters -
Edward - Naturally. What's not to love? Ed has completely changed my mind about short men, fyi.
I am now convinced that they can be totally badass.
Roy Mustang - Purely because of episode 13 in the original FMA anime. Also, he's pretty great.
Shao May - Ahahahaha win.
Pride - TOTALLY the Sota from hell! (Inuyasha reference) Which is pretty cool when you think about
it.
Harry Potter
Ships -
Harry x Ginny, Harry x Hermione, Harry x Draco (yes, ALL THREE.) (and no love for Ron, unless it's with Dean XD LOL)
Favorite Line -
"Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much
left ter do." - Hagrid, Book 1 (about Dudley's tail)
Favorite Moment -
In book 2 when Harry gets a musical love-o-gram and he tries to run away before Malfoy hears it but the dwarf delivering it
tackles him. Funniest EVER, makes me laugh every time I read it XD
Mamotte! Lollipop (Save Me! Lollipop is the Anime name)
Ships -
Nina/Zero, Rokka/Ichi, San/Forte (Yeah, pretty much everything canon. Although for a period of
about ten pages I was convinced that Nina/Forte would be cute. Didn't last, though.)
Favorite Moment -
The Love Potion. Y'all know what I'm talking about.
Such a sweet story! I LOVED the manga, but the Anime is cute and definitely worth seeing too. I actually saw the anime first, and was then inspired to read the manga for closure (The anime stops after the end of the exams! O^O). The whole thing was very cute, although I wasn't sure about the epilogue. It was such a total Ichi fan-service, just so the Ichi fans wouldn't file a lawsuit. (Read the manga if you're wondering what I'm talking about ;D)
Danny Phantom
Ships -
Danny and Sam, Tucker and Valerie
This is another case where a little kid's show is too cool just to be left to the little kids. And I'll be honest, I think Danny Phantom is cute. It's true.
Boys Before Flowers
Ships -
Canon, although I can't help but feel bad for Ji Hoo... (oh Kim Hyung Joon, who will love you now! O^O Oh right, Ha Ni will XD)
Favorite Episode -
The one where Jan Di gets a job as Jun Pyo's personal maid XD
Hottest F4 Member (in my opinion) -
Oohhh so hard! I'm gonna have to go with Goo Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) though. So Yi Jung is second, then Yoon Ji Hoo, and least favorite is
Song Woo Bin. Really though, it's on the verge of a three-way tie. I feel bad because Woo Bin always gets the least love, on the show and from the fans, but it's just how it is.
Fyi, this show was my gateway drug to k-dramas. It's quite seriously the best one I've watched, although You're Beautiful is a close second. However, with 25 hour-long episodes it's a bit of a commitment, so if this is your first k-drama I'd go with You're Beautiful or Playful Kiss. They're shorter and less drama-heavy.
You're Beautiful
Ships -
D'awww they all deserve her!!!! Of course Tae Kyung and Mi Nyu won out in the end and I loved it, but I felt so bad for San Woo and Jeremy! They
need love!! The scene where San Woo follows Mi Nyu but then she leaves with Tae Kyung KILLED me, as did the scene where Jeremy sings his song
about the greatest words and he has to sing between sobs. TT^TT I wish they would both find happiness...
ALSO, I really hope Go Mi Nam gets the girl! It felt really sad in that last episode or two when it was hinted that Go Mi Nam kept trying to win over Yoo He Yi but she was just using him to make Tae Kyung jealous (and failing, his heart belongs to Mi Nyu!). Poor guy... his bad taste in girls will be the death of him. I hope he falls in love with a real sweetheart... kind of like his sister only not a nun and not his sister... and not in love with Tae Kyung...

Just let me take a moment to squee over Jan Geun Suk and his super cute/sexy smile.
DKLSFNSLBFOAYBSJU SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~ LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE SANGHAE OPPA~!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3 KYAAAAAA~~~!!!!
*Ahem* Anyways...
Personal Preference
Ships -
Okay, so who else thought that No Sang Joon and Lee Young Sun
should have ended up together? The rest of canon was great but why
on earth did Sang Joon and In Hee have to end up together? It was just
too weird.
Favorite Moment -
When Jin Ho goes to buy pads for Kae In and those girls are standing there making him super uncomfortable.
I would reccommend watching Boys Before Flowers first, just so you get maximum Lee Min Ho-ness out of this series. Although really it doesn't matter as long as you watch them both at some point.
Playful Kiss
What I love about this series is how goofy it is. There really isn't a lot of the heavy soap opera stuff that other k-dramas have. Everyone has a goofy side to their character (except BSJ, but that's just how he is) so it makes every episode silly and fun. It is called "Playful Kiss" after all...
Favorite Character -
BSJ's Mom = Best mom ever! Love her! <3 I love how she's always stalking people and pretending to go out of town so Seung Jo and Ha Ni can
be together :3 So cute!
Another thing about this series -
I detest Kim Hyung Joon's ridiculous perm. Oh, why did he have to go and ruin his beautiful straight asian hair?? TT^TT
We Got Married with Jo Kwon and Ga-In
Kyaaa so cute!!! I love this couple! If you're going to watch it I'd recommend learning something about each of them first though. It's more fun when you know who they are. Also, they make a lot of references to their lives and careers outside the show, so if you know nothing about them you'll be totally lost.
Favorite Episode -
The first one <3 I love how awkward they were, it's just adorable ^-^
