Fate/Zero was the big thing on AnimeGAF pretty recently and is a pretty safe try.
Heartcatch vs. Suite transformation theme debate doesn't even matter because all of the Takanashi transformation themes (Fresh - present) are so far below everything that came before that it's not worth discussing. Takanashi murders anything that he touches, and the transition from orchestrated themes to synth shit at the beginning of his Precure reign of terror is no different.
I guess the Suite theme gets the Best of the Worst title.

You should watch Heroman, my favorite non slice of lifish (kimi to boku, sekaiichi hatsukoi) anime they have up there, as well as watch Kokoro Connect, and Ano hana.
If actually being a lesbian isn't enough I'm doomed.
Listening to these, I get the sense they were keeping things light and more orchestral until Fresh, when they added in the rock and guitars and things got awesome.
edit: Hmm, seems my opinion is the exact opposite of Mad Pierrot, though I don't consider the earlier ones bad. Also I didn't know the composer changed at that exact point too, which explains things.
Listening to these themes on these old Sony headphones at my parents place makes me really miss my Fischers. I think I'm becoming an audiophile and I'm so scared. Somebody hold me.
Well, truth be told, the Takanashi transformation themes aren't bad for what they are, I just really, really dislike very synthesized sound compared to the older orchestral themes. They're good compositions but cheaply-performed.
That's fine, personal preference and all. I've just never liked anything that he's worked on. Modern Precure music is bad, Fairy Tail music is bad, Oda Nobuna music is bad, but I certainly haven't seen everything he's been involved in.

SDBurton is post-lesbian. lol
GAO!
They didn't even ask about the movie and how it worked into their co-marketing plans!
What does that mean?!
On one hand I can hear what youre talking about because its a more classic pure sound. however IMO magical girl shows should feel rather epic, and the overblown synthed recent themes give a much more grandiose feel to everything.

Think of it like post-modern work.

I didn't care about the anime shows that were delayed, but I missed the Brazil show.
Good to have you back (again)!

How about a tsundere lesbian?

PoLes is a new form of sexuality not bound by actual being. It's a state of mind!

Knight in the Area is still stupid, but this is what amounts for women's soccer in anime just as Nadeshiko Japan continues to play into the Olympics:
NSFW maybe (there's bloom censorship, but GAF is full of prudes!) - http://i.imgur.com/iaa25l.jpg
I wonder if anyone from the team actually watches this shit. lol
How do you feel about Sailor Moon's various transformation themes? They use a combination of orchestral and electric/synthesized music (though mostly orchestral) and I personally believe to pretty great effect.
Nope, still in full swing.

What about neoclassical lesbians?

I'm more of a Baroque man myself.
The game is pretty neat. Having animated cherry blossoms glide past the characters was a really nice touch that stood out for me (dunno why). With the help of
Atlas and AGTH
he would talk to himself in a mirror, but on the other side would be someone else that looked like him with a different name. This is when the translation got a little iffy and to this date I have no clue whether that girl in the mirror was a sister he lost long ago or just his inner self.
Anyway, best girls are Kaori Kamichika and Kayleigh Glanzelius:
One of them invites younger women to empty classrooms after school. Can you guess which one? :3
I like that. And saying that simply being a lesbian makes you a superior yuri is kinda offensive. :lol
I like a good amount of henshin themes. Some of my favorite stuff in anime music. There is a great deal of fun/excitement in those themes and it brings back those childlike feelings of excitement seeing the heroes kicking the bad guys ass in. Its great shit.

I like the chibis way better than the full-sized versions.
Can't be better because I'm not tsundere.

Not bad, a little slow but I think I will stick with it.

Why should it be? We all need something to hate to get through the days.
I'll show up more now that the Swimming events at the Olympics are over, but I probably won't catch up on all the stuff I missed until after the closing ceremony. I get really caught up with the spirit of competition, haha.
Goddammit.
Clearly there'll be enough episodes to
beat all of the other Legion leaders!
Oh yeah, you'll be facepalming quite a bit too.

Isnt the source material still ongoing? I cant imagine that was even a possibility when the anime was announced, unless we get 25 more episodes.
Yeah, I think so, and I was kidding when stating that. I just didn't expect the show to get stuck in such a shitty arc for so many episodes.
Edit: A KH3D avatar, huh? Goddammit.

Well since Crunchyroll has A LOT of stuff, it's hard to just recommend something without knowing your tastes. What did you like back when you watched anime?
Also, it may not be on Crunchyroll, but find a way to watch Gurren Lagann.
Gurren Lagann is oh Hulu, I don't think you need a subscription to watch it either.
I just woke up from an alcohol induced haze to this?
Maybe you should just go back to sleep.

I think they probably made money off of that, so not really.

Hell, they're making bank now on it. Seemed like a damn good decision.
