The anime generally keeps this stuff toned down and under control to a good degree. It's the OVAs and manga where things get like that.

Have you seen
Only in OVAs. In the MANGA though... oh boy it's always lewd.
On the sexualization avenue, I was surprised to see this was an official poster for Valkyrie Chronicles 3.
Them's some Rob Liefeld angles.

BlazBlue: Alter Memory Episode 2 The Azure Successor
They could have really focused more on trying to include some plot in here, as I think its really just not being helpful for people who never played the game. Motiviations, and even events and happenings are just not explained well and leaves alot on assumptions. Fighting too isnt even up to par still where it seems like they are taking shortcuts in fights, throwing blows then quickly cutting to something else. Every hit feels weak as well. Good music though.

I caught up on the manga after the anime-exclusive arc. No point for me in waiting when the manga is leagues ahead.
Didn't they announce that the anime was coming back? I wonder why nothing's been said about that. Surely the manga has reached a point where it's far enough to at least announce a new airdate or something.

For fairytail, theres only like half the fighting fest unanimated and then the little bit of this current arc. Theyd catch up pretty fast since Fairy Tail anime adapts at a fast pace too.

Look at those assets .... the king was really a fool to ignore this...
He ignored a devoted follower that was one of the last of a super human race all for nothing ... if he just took advantage of this , not only he would have won, but he would have been unstoppable. Instead he just died like a fool.
i mean Look at that ...... you have to be a gigantic moron to ignore this.
Quite obvious that they will include a filler after the tournament ends , to prevent the anime to catch - up fast..thankfully fairy tail world is quite un explored for the viewers, especially after the "jump" there is clearly some material for filler territroy to take advantage of
I had to stare at this for a few moments before realizing what show you were referring to.

I remember reading Fairy Tail at one point. Then the "meet the newest baddie he's more powerful than you" formula got boring so I stopped. Not to blame it exclusively on Fairy Tail since it's a general shonen issue, but shonens just don't appeal to me as much as they used to. Besides Jojo and Shingeki No Kyojin.
As an item of discussion what has been your favorite bastardization of a real brand in an anime? By favorite it could be either you laughed at the name or you didn't think this could ever appear in an anime.
For me?
Good Ol' Heireken. Amen Harrerrrujah Peanut-uh Butt-aaaaa.Though everything in Brack Ragoon was fantastic. Runner-up would be whatever recent anime I watched where McDonald's was called like McRonards or something.

The anime doesn't get THAT fanservicey, but it's definitely not all innocent.
As for the OVAs and manga, well.... (relatively NSFW)

Pokemon the origin - 03
2nd episode was quite good..i wish they could have adapted some other moments , but it's nice to see Red acting confident , rather than dubious even if his moves aren't optimised ..
The show still is giving a great vibe overall .

Just how bad is the Danganronpa anime adaptation? Playing the game now and it's got me pumped
Hunter x Hunter 100
Killua being awesome. That's what I wanted to see and that's what I got. Even when he's hiding his abilities, he'll still tear everybody apart. As for Gon, even though I've read the manga, I still chuckled at the part where he just instantly trusted Meleoron. Anyway, to me this feels like the turning point of the arc. Up until this point, with the exception of a few ants, most of them were shown to be heartless, ruthless, sadistic beasts. Colt may have shown some compassion and sorrow, but that was due to memories of his past life (more of a subconscious thing).

Meleoron, however, is different. He made a conscious decision to side with the hunters against the king, even though, at this point, the odds are definitely in the king's favor.

As somebody who didn't play the game, it was quite enjoyable and experimental looking for anime.
From what I read of those playing the game:
- First case and last case are done justice while basically the rest of them are cut down to the bone to be able to fit them in a 12 episode anime. I personally didn't see many issues but like I said, never played the game.
It's not an anime per-se. Anime generally has animation.

Toss out any form of the optional characterization and just about the bare bones of the cases that'll still make sense.
It wasn't bad though and still enjoyable to watch.

This is probably the oddest part of Danganronpa for me, the only way to really learn anything about the characters and their motivations most of the time is via the free time social links, and even then half the time what you learn in that has no impact on how the rest of the game plays out. Then you have the fact that certain characters die really early meaning you have to replay those chapters to get their social links up. Worse is that even if you knew who's going to die you have to replay chapters 2-3 times to max them out simply because the game doesn't give you enough free time before they get waxed.

So after fanboying over Madoka Magika to my friends they made fun me most notably calling me an emotional masochist... more importantly I was suggested a list of animes and one that came up was Anohana: The Flower We Say That Day. Quick wikipedia says it's not that long with just 11 episodes so I decided to give it a shot.
Anohana 01-02
So far it's not bad, I had feels but they're were mostly bittersweet/pseudo-nostalgic ones as the 'incident' is quickly explained from the get go. So far a story about friends that drifted apart and during the same time a tragedy happened. Is the tragedy the cause of said drifting? I predict that's what this show is going to center on while bringing in the group of childhood friends back together as the episodes progress.
Yeah I'm expecting feels but what I've seen so far I don't think it's going to give me the same 'intense' feels I've had from Stein's Gate, Penguindrum, and Madoka Magika. But hey, we'll see.
Edit: Oh yeah one more thing, I really enjoy the OP

Butthead Kotake learns the value of teamwork. Or something. Honestly I wouldn't have blamed Itou if he told Kotake to eat a dick. He was being a pill. He's kind of a pill in general. I wouldn't mind if no more episodes focused on him.
Greg Schiano approves this message.

non non biyori 2
the art is nice, and cutes are cute. still not too into the humor. a bit too low key and slow for my taste, but a fine show anyhow.

I liked the mech designs in Gundam X. Thats what kept me coming back. It's a shame Gundam X was a dud in Japan. I think it was one of the worst performing Gundam until AGE lol. I'd like to have seen more X.
I think that had a lot to do with the ratings and possibly getting their budget slashed. It had such bad ratings they moved it to a morning time slot at a god awful early hour.

There were so many bastardized whisk(e)y brands in Polar Bear Cafe pretty much every time anyone went to Grizzly's bar. A lot of them were single malt, too.
He has to be my least favorite of the side characters, at least off the top of my head.

Actually only the last case was done properly .
The first case had plenty of cuts ( even if the flow of events remained mostly the same ) , it was still a dumbed down version.
it became decent in anime toward the end , because the game narrative is that strong , but the anime did a terrible job with it.

That show is melodrama at its best. And I don't mean that negatively I mean it in a positive way (lol)
The death is the driving force of the drama, but the way they've all changed, certain secrets, feelings and issues are also driving forces. The only reason I'm looking forward to the movie is to skip the whole thing until I get to the new material that takes place after the anime ends.

POkemon The origin - 03
AWESOME.
AH this episode was superb
20mins of giovanni ..
It was so good.
Intro was cool , the second encounter was way more messier than expected. it was actually a good change of pace.
Second part was bollock-it's-so-freaking-good kinda good, with the reveal & the clash of ideas , the internal monologue was actually a nice touch , that explained things and tied the ending properly , the animation during the fight was great and the final strech was a good moment , truly it was awesome.
As of ep 3 , those specials are trully nailing the first pokemon Gen feelign perfectly ... A real shame that the real pokemon anime wasn't more like this and instead went for the boring route ...
AWESOME.

If he was just a little more on the left , i could have made a fate stay night joke with a "Are you my master" but i can't.

Oneechan ga Kita Sisterly Love 4-Panel Manga Gets TV Anime
Yep, that sounds like a comedy 4koma alright.
Ano hana is a weird show. It has a big heart and a touching story but it goes way off the rails for whatever reason.
Lololololololol. I'm pretty sure it'll turn into a harem but I don't think it was episode 2 that gave that away, more like, outside of turning it into a harem there's absolutely no reason for the enemy to be all girls, or objects that traditionally had human crews in the first place. So really the setting from the start was just telegraphing that it'd be a harem.
Actually, I like it when an episode centers on a single battle, I rather like that pacing myself.
Hmm, i dunno. I both like the idea of the lone submarine going up against the world(hey it's a nostalgic theme) and large naval battles but I don't like harem antics so having this "fleet" bicker and do harem shenanigans while shooting missiles and shit would be kind of a turn off. I'd actually rather each one get their own captain and human crew.
Infinite Stratos 2 - 1
Well I hadn't at the time, reading it now gives me some insight into the mind of a deranged fan though! Like, I can't tell if you mean Laura and Charlotte hanging out was the highlight means it was actually good and a real treat or if it was just the best part of a terrible episode but still a crappy part. it's always hard to tell with you because you seem to like the things you say you hate. Hell, in the review you said you may have to lower, or, raise the score, what the hell does that mean? Are you creating multiple ABFs in your head that went each way or somethin'?
Regarding Outbreak Company
Thinking about the problems in that fantasy world aren't too out of place for the viewer I think because the show itself addresses them. It's got illiteracy, slavery, classes, the poverty and lack of time that comes with being an agricultural society for the peasants, racism, the viewer isn't just asking themselves where that stuff is, the main character is observing it and pointing out how those things are hindrances to his mission of exporting anime and manga to that society.
What is unknown about Outbreak Company is how realistic it would treat any changes to this society. Is it going to go the super happy route and just turn the country into Little Japan overnight or are they going to go a little deeper and maybe show some of the problems that arise when you do start unraveling a fuedal society?
Don't know how far back you wanna go but everyone should watch Twelve Kingdoms.
