I really need to start watching that one. As one of those oddballs who doesn't enjoy Gundam anime except for G-Gundam, I imagine it'll be glorious.
A buddy and I started going through TVTropes "Anime by the Decade" lists, pointing out all the ones with fantastic plotting or scenery porn. We're probably going to make a list to start watching. It's going to be hilarious, because I love Gloriously 80's series, while he's more a fan of 90's Anime stylings. I might have an answer for you after that.

Also...whats the manga series people most want made into an anime? For me its Girlfriends by Morinaga Milk, I just love that series
There's this one Manga I read a while back- a couple of shorter, self-contained story arcs set in the same universe with the same basic premise, that would probably make fantastic movies (animated or live action- might actually prefer the live action, even), called BioMeat. Scientists developed these... things, that ate anything organic and budded off more of them, and they were made out of meat. But, as you can probably guess from the 'eat anything organic and make more' bit, things don't go well.

Currently my favorites are Log Horizon, Durararax2, and an older show called Sket Dance.
I'm always looking for a new show to check out.
Draconic, I definitely agree on watching Durarara in one go. Did that with the first season and tjd first 8 episodes of season 2, and man I'm sitting here looking forward to Saturday at Noon (EST) for the next episode.

This sounds like it came from the same minds that made robots more sentient or to breed dinosaurs in a park with increasingly less safe protocols or the evil corporation in the aliens series (i.e. idiots).

So I watched an anime and liked it, then I looked into the manga a bit, and found a bonus chapter that ruined any positive feeling I had for the anime. I actually feel kinda ill.

You can't say something like this and leaving it like that. Details, man! What anime are you talking about?

Honestly, they had these things in a giant concrete pit where they dumped the trash from super-high up, and harvesting was done super-carefully. If the whole think hadn't been handled like your typical Hollywood Zombie outbreak (I.E., "That can't possibly be eating people and turning them into more of itself! I'm going to have a closer look!") it would barely have been a story at all.

WHAT HE SAID!!!
Look. You all are going to judge me for this one, but I binge watched "My Wife is a High School Girl" last night. Despite some painful portions, and a truck load of cliches like most ero-manga adapted into anime, but over all it was silly, and the MCs actually behaved like a rational couple thrown into a strange circumstance... mostly... which made me kinda happy. So I went looking for the manga so I could see what the canon ending was, but the scanlation team quit at chapter 35 out of like 147. The last work they did before vanishing into the ether in 2011 was 35.5, a bonus chapter consisting of a rape and lead in to more rapes for the female lead. A. really not my kind of porn, B. if you make a character well enough that I like them and invest in them, then kinda off hand deliver a rape scene, not as part of the plot but for the hell of it, I will hate you and your creation.
In other news that you guys will judge me for,
Testament of Sister New Devil is paying off quite well as we come to the end of the season. For an ecchi harem that doesn't so much flirt with the hentai line as sloppily make out with it, it's actually pretty good, the characters are fun, and the universe it lays out makes sense for most of the "dirtier interactions". The censoring team is probably the worst enemy here, which will certainly drive DVD/Blueray sales up in Japan, and make it a wildly popular torrent here. So far the ending is quite satisfying, and is presenting a few tropes and cliches in a manner that is enjoyable at the very least. It's certainly no Infinite Stratos in the sense of being the mental equivalent of junk food, addicting and mind numbing with a powerful sating affect, but all the same surprisingly good. This season had a lot of harem fantasy action adventures, and I found Testament and Aria of Curse to be pretty good.

Judgement? Concerning Hentai / Anime tastes? AH, don't be absurd. We all seem to be grown ups here and we manage to distinguish reality from fiction
Interesting to know, I went ahead and checked the chapter and I guess it doesn't matter to you, but canonically the rape never happened, it was all a dream of hers (not sure if you "rage alt-f4ed" before the end).

ehh yeah what mkmy fellow lord said. porn is a form of entertainment, if you like it in your general entertainmnet so be it. Personally, I don't mind fan service, though over the top does bother me when I'm watching osmething seriously.
If the porn has story to it, and is supported by emotion or situation, it morphs into something that adds to the story, as opposed to something you 'suffer' the story for.

Oh dude I rage quit hard. Rape is one of those things that stirs up the killing need, and I knew you all would be cool, I was just joking.

Quoted for truthiness!
So, for some animu that only Draconic and one or two more people might appreciate, my analysis of Episode 11 for KanColle, and predictions for the upcoming finale.
Serious whack job theories/ excessive spoilers for KanColle in here:
Spoiler:
So this week's ep treats us to the opening of Midway with it playing out much how historically it happened, with the 1st and 2nd carrier divisons being caught in a trap by a U.S. Naval task force. It's slightly different because Akagi and co have different escorts, including the battleships Hiei and Kongou, but Kongou and Fubuki are awaiting the arrival of the main task force from Truk with Yamato.
We're treated to these two images:
So we have three shilouettes here that are VERY important to the next episode. For those who aren't up on their KanMusu silhouette identification, Shoukaku and Zuikaku are the two with Yamato in the launch bay, which is important because 5th Carrier Division are some of the most advanced standard fleet carriers the IJN has, but the silhouette on the cliff side looks VERY strongly like the Armored Aircraft Carrier Taihou.
For reference, this is Taihou:
So that is a significant amount of naval airpower that's enroute from Truk, more then enough to overwhelm the Abyssal carrier task force and rescue 1st and 2nd CarDiv and their escorts. So where did all this naval airpower come from? It's elementary my dear Watson! The Admiral faked his own death/disappearance while leaving Nagato his warplans for Operation FS, which he knows Nagato can handle on her own, this allows him to shift and reallocate resources quietly with his freedom of movement. He can go to 5th CarDiv's base, fake their repair reports and move them to Truk, even quietly move Taihou into position. Only Yamato, the assets moved, and the girls assigned to the Truk fleet will know, and while under radio silence, none of them will be able to leak the "surprise" carrier task force the Admiral is "appearing" out of no where. In other words kids...
Now have some nice music to relax you after what was still a brutal episode:

I can only hope you are right because DAMN, THE gak HIT THE FAN SO DAMN HARD!
We'll see if they rewrite history with a IJN victory because it doesn't look that good. Awesome episode, really, my heart was beating a wee bit faster when they started the attack, knowing what happened there.
Gotta hand it to the studio, I never thought I'd enjoy KanColle this much. Adding the flavor of real WWII events was a genius touch.

That's DMM and Kadokawa for you, they work it into the game in a decent manner, albeit the girls usually get a chance to change history and win in the game. Like I said, we KNOW that Yamato (who historically was at Midway) sortied with ships that weren't at Midway or even nearby. So did the actual Kido Butai. Kongou and Hiei were with the main task force, not escorting the carriers. Ditto Yuudachi and Fubuki. So history has already changed. Significantly so most likely.

You know, I Couldn’t Become a Hero, So I Reluctantly Decided to Get a Job is a surprisingly fun little anime. Annoyingly long title, though.
On the bright side Fino is absolutely adorable.
Spoiler:
I really like that when Raul tried to undress her and she got mad, but he explained why, she understood and forgave him. You just don't get enough of that kind of common sense in this genre.

I became a big fan of that anime. Fino is absolutely adorable, the humor is fun and like I said many times before, the colors dude. THE COLORS. The anime is so colourful, it's a treat.

Congrats! I wonder how much of a *FANGIRLING* reaction you had when you got your ship-waifu I'm trying to get a piece of her too, but in my case, it's on the World of Warships.

It's pretty damn good but it has a very abrupt ending. Outta nowhere, really. Gotta wait for a season 2.
The action is very cool, Yaya is adorable and a bit Yandere, the other machines they fight with or against are very cool looking too and I was enjoying the plot. The humour has plenty of ecchi and fan-service.
Oh, and the ending song is ridiculously good. SO, DAMN, GOOD.

Don't feel bad the whole rape thing disgusts me in any background. I still have issues with the depiction of a scene in model form with the pre-rape pose of an eldar woman topless with a guardsman approaching her with his belt undone.
I was also horrified by this one hentai that i had previously seen a music video or similar for. Can't remember the name right now. It was one of those magical princess type girls and though the normal sex in it was hot in typical anime form a japanese girl has about ten seconds before getting raped and/or tentacle raped in a hentai esp. if she's attractive. There was also this part in the show where women and men were mind controlled via tentacles up their butts and lady holes and started having a mass orgy in an audience. Can you imagine that? Basically it was like a city hall or school auditorium and they were all gang-banging in it. Pretty much every person if i recall correctly. Also post-rape the female protagonist (which must be raped so frequently people know she's been raped again and about to be) went on top of a water fountain and i sh*t you not cleaned out the tentacle rape man jelly from herself and slopping it down onto the water fountain. As if i didn't already have issues drinking from a water fountain before now i don't ever want to drink from one again.
