This is the first I'm hearing of anyone treating Dulce Report as anything but porn.

I'm sorry!
Yomiko Readman from Read or Die - more so in the OVA than the TV series - is ace.
Runner up:

Best megane is Nagato Yuki. No contest. Someone post the gif with her trying grasp that paper in the movie.

Rewatching this on BD. Ghibli moves are always great at twanging heart strings. The ending is probably one of the saddest they've ever made.

It's easier to talk about a characters physical traits if you show a picture of said character.
You just can't beat Mai x Reo. I don't even care if Reo is a fairly obvious tsundere character type.
Think.......Kangoku Senkan/Taimanin Asagi with slightly less blurred, incoherent scenes but similar silly faces.
Despite it not being a female VA, if Norio Wakamoto doesn't deserve a mention for amazing voice roles, I don't know who does. Jouji Nakata as well.

You COULD post links to prove validity of said sentence.
In fact, you should.

Yomiko is one of the very best! Even her English VA is hnnnnnngh.
God shes so awesome!
That's why if you say who the character is and maybe why you like them, you can provoke conversation by adding content to your posts!
Maybe!
Or we could just post images and have no-one reply to them, that works too.

I actually got into a really short discussion about this a bit ago in the K-On thread over a request for a glassesless version of a picture. My argument was just that depending on the character type, looks, etc. sometimes glasses work and sometimes they just don't. Like an example that was already posted is that normal Nagato looks better without glasses, but they work fine for Moegato. Same thing for Homura and Moemura, I guess.
edit: I guess the type of glasses also make a difference too.

My general preference does lean towards no glasses though

Fully agree. Glasses really don't work with every single character but when they do, they REALLY do.
People like different aspects of character design and that's why there are so many.

Isako from Dennou Coil (right). No-one else wields glasses better.
Also seconding (or thirding) Robin from WHR. Through fire, justice is served.
One billion points for the Mischief Makers reference.
Is Witch Hunter Robin a good show?
It is quite.

MAKEOVERS FOR EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERYONE!!!
ZZ Gundam 19
Judau's got 99 problems and an imouto is only 2 of 'em.
So do things "get serious" in episode 20, or episode 21? I was told it was around this point the series underwent a tonal shift. Here's hoping it doesn't wind up like the second act of Zeta. Gundam shows tend to have a rough second act.

Nailed it.
That ep was so hardcore. I'm still bitter about that terrible twist.
Probably more value knowing going in because yeah, that bad.
It's not a bad show. I enjoyed it, but mostly for it's characterization and unique setting. It's got some troublesome exposition in parts that can occasionally be Kamiyama-esq (I say this as a good thing), but it usually just slows down the show which is unfortunate. I would say give it a shot if you're curious. Obligatory AS promo.
Oof. I blocked that from my memory.
Code Geass 18
So basically the question is if Suzaku can drop the Atomic Bomb or not. Let's face it, though: this guy has a hard time even murdering the bastard who took everything from him, he's not gonna pull that trigger.
You know, #ROLO has been using his Geass a lot. Why hasn't it misfired? Oh yeah, because misfiring Geass isn't a thing.
"Filled with conceit, as ever." Uhm, what? Isn't this the guy you just begged and praised? Dat situational trust. Oh well, shouldn't expect Lelouch to be a decent piece of shit at this point.
Sayoko's "Ninja" outfit should be another big clue that the writers don't give two fucks anymore, along with the fact that Sayoko is a Ninja-Maid.
Kallen and Ogie are the only reason I even root for the Black Knights. Tamaki almost singlehandedly encourages me not to. And by the way
Also, Toto is kind of the unsung badass of the show. Everybody KNOWS that Kallen and the KOTR are badasses, but Toto has to fight the actual battles while they're off having their dramatic duels.
And as of this moment I declare Cornelia to be the new Best Girl.
Nina is almost as trigger happy with her nuclear weapons as Flit Asuno.
WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THAT IS SOME CONTRIVED BULLSHIT.
Fuck it.

you may now add "rescuing Kallen" to the list of promises Lelouch failed to keep.

Seriously that doesn't even make sense. That's just blatantly bad writing. That's just stupid bad. I don't. There's so much about what I just saw that I can't get my head around that I don't know what to say. That's just the worst writing.
Why would you load a nuclear weapon into a gun? A gun which can miss at point blank range? Why would you DO that? Why would Lelouch's "LIVE" command force Suzaku to fire that gun? If it had hit at that range, it would have killed him, too. None of what I just saw makes any sense.
That's so.

Yeah the art is pretty meh but it is entertaining in other ways.
That's just mean.
Hataraku Maou-Sama 7
That girl from the previous episode is Maou and friends' new neighbor. She doesn't really seem to have much personality. She wears a kimono all the time, so that's something I guess. Oh, and she's hot for Maou. Not really sure why. He's been a good neighbor to her I suppose. AnywayA, she makes a lunch box for him as a gift and puts a heart in it, which. makes Chiho go bananas. She's rather possessive.
Emi seems to struggle a lot with Maou and friends' life in Japan. On one hand, they're behaving well and even making friends, which is a good thing. They're not being evil and terrorizing the world, which is a big plus for peace if they keep it up. On the other hand, if they're being good, what is her purpose now? She feels like she's acting like a stalker because she's just waiting for them to do something evil so she can stop them, but they just aren't. So what is she to do now? This internal conflict she has really seems like the key driver of her character and possibly the show in general
Well, at least she can fight now. Thanks to her friend's tonic she received, her powers are largely back. And she's got some slick moves too. She was dodging those lasers from that guy very deftly. Problem is he can nullify her celestial sword. Or whatever its called. I would guess it's another general, but seeing as how she's never encountered this before, that seems pretty unlikely.

Wanna know something? That's not even the worst part. Hell I didn't think that was as contrived as what happens later on.
Oh and your hatred for Nina? How high is it exactly? Because her reaction to her
nuke
On the other hand, look on the bright side! You got what you wanted! Thanks to Lelouch's sloppy Geass efforts, SOMEONE
he tried to "save"
blast!
Seriously though. You think this is bad? You're not even at THAT point yet.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Brosuaders 2000 OVA 2
Jotaro clearly gets all the women in the yard.
The color set is still rather dark and rather foreboding, without much fabulousness, but we gain yet another bro to the group! Yaaay, that's what Jojo is all about, bros being bros.

Jewelpet Kira Deco 18
For a few episodes now the normal OP and ED have been replaced by scenes from the then upcoming film (released last August) and running commercials at the end to promote it. Now the episode itself moves into promotional mode, as it introduces the Sweetspets (like Jewelpets except their entire body is made out of, well, sweets) who are the key component of the film.
But since the film doesn't take place in Kira Deco continuity, the show is free to do whatever it wants with the concept of animals made of candy. And it's chosen to explore just how creepy said concept is. Sakuran is a Sakura Mochi pet who has mysteriously become so hard that no one is able to eat her without breaking their teeth. Saddened by this, she seeks the help of the main cast to find a way to soften her up so she can become edible again.
So first bestiality, now cannibalism, what taboo will Kira Deco break next?
For some reason crazy eyes were the theme of the day. Also: mackerel sighting.

Every time I see that gif, a part of my soul dies.
That episode, and the previous one (I think it's 14 where
Robin is attacked in Touko's apartment
But you're right, they did rather fluff it afterwards. I don't think I've ever gone beyond those episodes on the DVDs, actually!
I really enjoyed Witch Hunter Robin back in '02/'03. It looks a little ugly these days thanks to the terribad CG background art, but the animation was half decent and Taku Iwasaki's score was fantastic. It's not a particularly exciting show, but it does the whole episodic detective show thing half-decently and I thought Robin herself was a very strong lead character.
Its major weaknesses are its flat supporting cast (although Sakaki, in the right frame of mind, is unintentionally hilarious) and tendency towards heavy exposition.
