Yo AnimeGAF I figured I wanted to try more anime but haven't a clue where to start and I was hoping for a few pointers. I'm looking for any of these things (roughly in order of priority), the more of them the better.
Weird stuff = Scary stuff
good worldbuilding = elaborate plots/character dynamics
ridiculous melodrama
good fight sequences=humor
BL (the less noncon the better)/ homoerotic subtext

Because people can't handle the truth.
I can't attest for Bagi, but the 2 things after that on the list should be a treat for you after the last 2 you watched.

Ojamajo Doremi fits pretty well for 2 (both world building and and character dynamics) and 3. 5 kinda happens, but it's not prevalent/looking too hard for things. 1.... there's weird stuff. 4, there's humor! IT FITS EVERYTHING!
try No. 6?

Wait...this isn't the Harry Potter and Hitler thread?! :O
Code Geass
No. 6
All threads are Hitler threads
You should watch X (the TV series, not the film) for all of the above except humour.

Damn you Godwin!
It's worse than any Sawano OST.

My first thought was non conformist, but then I realised.
I still don't. Is it worth knowing?

I don't like her precisely because I feel like the show wants me to like her. I like her snarkiness, I like her character design, but I don't exactly like her as a character.
I'm not entirely sure that makes much sense at all.
Anyway,
Hiroomi/Akihito BL doujinshi when?
Truly the Hitler of WWII related popculture.

It's kind of like saying the n word instead of n

Bleh. Took me time to figure out Noncon myself.
It's a fanfic term for rape stories of any orientation; while it applies mostly to slash because of the nature of fanfic, it's used for hetero stuff too.
Otherwise, the point stands - it just means rapey.
There's probably a good reason for that.
Thanks for the suggestions folks, I'm gonna give these a try and maybe post impressions
Noncon is sometimes used in other contexts, I just use it because I'm one of those people that worries about triggers and all that.
I've been trying to look for BL that doesn't have any period but the only one I've found (Bukiyou na silent I think) switches gears to a beta couple that I didn't care about. I love the bishonen aesthetic and mushiness, I don't like the constant obsession with molestation and people forcing themselves on each other.

I read it as non-canon until I read this post.
Yeah, the unwashed peasantry simply sucks

"The suspect was arrested on suspicion of noncon" does sound more palatable. It's like saying "passed away" instead of "died", but out of respect for a criminal in this case
sounds like you have a future as a doujinshi author.

As much as I enjoyed it, I can't help but criticize the series for its heteronormativity.
Everyone is bisexual (or, considering the fact that they have bonobo genes spliced into them, Pansexual
), but only until they're adults, when suddenly everyone is in a heterosexual relationship. I'm aware of the way the society and people were intentionally engineered so it would be like that, but it bothers me as a bisexual that the whole "it's only a phase" meme is essentially made into a plot point.
okay that's a horrible joke please shoot me

Infinite Stratos S2 2
Having action that lasts longer that a minute makes this episode better than the last. Having more bullshit pandering and ass shots detract from it. Damn you three episode rule. You know what? Fuck it. DROPPED. Moving on to something else now.

Dragging this out from the archives, since there's been a bit of new news on it:

Seven minute digest preview video of the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYYdevvn1vc
The Ghibil Int'l Twitter also has been talking about subtitles for Kaguya, though of course they haven't announced any plans on screening it internationally yet.

I don't think the story approves of that any more than it approves of
murdering your own children and erasing all memories of them.

No. Just, no. This guy needs to never ever ever be in anime again I am so sick of his voice
I like the voice actor for Riki, even if I recognize it as the "Little Kid Voice From All Key Animes"
...and Brittney Karbowski once again typecast as "Love Interest From All Key Animes". At least she won't be the one saying wafu~~ here. I think she has a little too 'much' attitude in her voice for Rin.
This is probably my least favorite dubbed KEY anime. The acting is even more poor than it usually is. Everyone has just been completely miscast in this one. Which is a shame, because it's my second favorite KEY show.
You shouldn't be as disappointed with the next entry, although I should warn you it DOES have dull moments.
And remember, made by the God of Manga himself. lol
YESSSSSSSSSSSS
I am so buying this. thank you!
Yeah. No Platinum no fucking sale!
Will watch tonight.
WAT
OMG @ Hermione
!For me in Texas, EMS takes 4 days from Japan, while FedEx Priority takes 2 and has more reliable tracking (USPS seems to forget to scan packages half the time so I'm never quite sure when it's getting here). So I like FedEx better when I can get it.
But EMS came through today with anime!
And miscellaneous anime-related things: http://i.imgur.com/deenDhX.jpg
The Akisora illustration book that came with that issue of Champion RED Ichigo has some illustrations by guest illustrators, one of whom is Komatsu Eeji, the illustrator for the Golden Time novels that have a TV anime running this season, so I figure I'll link of photo of that in case anyone's interested, but although all naughty bits are covered it's still quite NSFW so be warned: http://i.imgur.com/5P8O49u.jpg
EMS does typically come through in terms of quality of service. I always feel secure getting stuff shipped through EMS.

If you say so. I haven't really noticed any issues, and I'm not sure if most people would provided they enjoyed the premise.
