There are so many shows out there which have pantsu that I don't even know what you're complaining about here.
Like BATMAN!

To Love-ru 17
Haruna is cute when she's scared, and quite strong apparently.
And that last bit? No fucking clue man, no fucking clue.
It's summer, so of course they have to have ghosts stories, and since this is To Love-ru, of course they actually exist.
I don't think fainting is something you want to happen...

Anymore SAO porn gone up on the facebook page?
So is this the thread where I could ask for anime recommendations? This may sound weird, but I was looking at Evangelion at the exchanges between Misato and Ritsuko thinking, "Yeah, I could watch a show like that."
Basically, after watching Nazo no Kanojo, I'm growing bored of High School anime. Sometimes, it seems like the only thing that's ever made. I'd like to see an anime that
1) doesn't take place in a High School
2) preferably centered around college age people and older
3) set in the present day (i.e. not feudal Japan or a robot/cyborg-heavy future)
4) has at least a little comedy in it.
I guess in a way an anime similar to many American sitcoms. lol.
Well, those criterion certainly eliminate most anime, but at least I can recommend:
Usagi Drop
The Tatami Galaxy
Paranoia Agent
Natsuyuki Rendezvous
There's more noitaminA shows that fit your request but I haven't watched all of them yet.

Voices is dubbed in the dub of Macross Plus, but there are obvious plot-related reasons for that.

I don't want to say that I called it, but kind of nonsense seemed inevitable if that was the route that they were going to take for the second season. None of the space-plolitics in the first season was particularly coherent, believable or interesting so focusing on that seems like a terrible mistake.

Along with the other suggestions, Ristorante Paradiso is pretty much a light RomCom, so that fits the bill perfectly I think. Antique Bakery is fine too, and it actually makes gay jokes that are relevant to the characters/plot. Go figure.
Oh, I'll also say Yomigaeru Sora Rescue Wings, because no one else will say it. lol

That's not an argument!
Hyouka - 18
Went in expecting the worst, but I enjoyed it. The chemistry between Oreki and Chitanda works pretty well at this point, and it was reminiscent of episode seven (another episode I enjoyed) in that regard. The show just does better when all four of the club aren't present at once; they have room to breathe, to expand.
That said if this was a KEY property this is where a truck would swerve in and hit them both.

Well, actually, I assume that when you chose to make an adaptation the 'point' is to make a show that will already have a built-in potential (because they like the original) and to appeal to new fans (so that they can go buy the light novel/manga/visual novel/whatever). Or rather, this is the 'business' reason for making an adaptation. I imagine they don't want to risk pissing off the fans of the original stuff by cutting stuff out that they might like.
Now, creatively/artistically speaking I agree but it's not often that you see a studio chop and change a property to that degree.
Moreover, I'd hope that the point of doing an adaptation would be to make a good anime.

It figures that they needed to explain this. lol
For the most part, other than not having the chance to have filler episodes that aren't tied to a character's backstory (and it looks like Badminton boy is going to get the short shrift), this show feels like the first season of Glee insomuch as I am able to accept its optimism and unlikely BS because I am enjoying the story on an emotional level.
Intellectually, I know that a lot of it is just silly and contrived. For one, when
the other four leave Sawa the song over her voice mail, it didn't cut them off and go to her voice mail even though just minutes earlier, we saw that you can only leave messages that are a few second long. Then there's the dad stuff and the horse riding ending.
Still, even though I am thinking about this stuff, I don't really care. They need to amp up the drama to have the feel good ending and it works. I only regret that they just don't have time to do filler episodes that are just the characters hanging out with each other as opposed to just supporting each other when they have their breakdowns. It'd give the series a bit of time to breathe at least.
Thankfully, this show won't get Murphy'ed any time soon. lol
I kinda want to recommend Moyashimon since it has everything he asks for, but since everyone here thinks it's boring, I wonder if it's not something a lot of people like...
Hyouka's background art is amazing, even compared to other KyoAni shows. It's a shame that Chuunibyou is definitely a step down from Hyouka in that regard (at least from the pictures we've seen), but it's a tough bar to reach.

Nah dude. the facebook page keeps it classy.
zubu... zubuzubu... guchu
I don't even know what the heck C is anymore. Like I seriously have no idea what the show is about anymore. What is the driving factor behind the conflict? What are character motivations really? What is going on with time? Everything jumps around and I don't know why anyone does the stupid shit they keep seeming to do.
K... at least picture-wise. Not sure about written material.

The only one I can really add to this list is Hatakari Man.
Unfortunately, like it or not, most anime isn't going to be set in modern day Japan and be adults doing every day stuff. That's just not the kind of thing that gets made.

A lot of obvious suggestions are taken (I'll echo Usagi Drop, Working!, and The Tatami Galaxy), so I'll give you something a little different than what you want.
Steins;Gate is centered around college age people in present-day Akihabara. The protagonist is a tinkerer and self-proclaimed mad scientist who accidentally invents a machine that can send text messages back in time. He and his friends mess with the machine to try to learn more about its capabilities.
It's situated deep in contemporary Japanese otaku culture, and even references turn-of-the-century internet meme John Titor. It's got some light comedy elements in it, and I found it a really refreshing show when I was looking to get back into anime. My main warning is that the mood takes a turn for the dramatic about halfway through, so if you're looking for a show that is a comedy, it's not going to satisfy you.
Besides the parts of it that are totally abandoned, Old Home is a really great location. There's a good sense of lived-in warmth to it.
The entire art direction of the show does a pretty great job of building a setting that seems like it could exist in tons of different time periods. It adds to the sense that the town lies outside of the rest of existence.
If it was a KEY property
the dead stranded people would have been the teachers family, and the helicopter would have been their spirits reincarnated.

Most SAO doujins favor worst girl though. So who needs that. Besides, I was never complaining from the beggining. I like being blue-balled.
It's been said that
it's because their home planetary systems are en route to collision, and having not agreed on how to resolve this, they're fighting over who gets to keep their home by destroying the other faction.
The conflict can be resolved by blowing up the other's respective planetary system (as was attempted in the past at the cost of human sacrifice, Yurikano and Vox Aura), and the Voxes have been revealed to have had power great enough in the past to completely destroy everything.
However, since the third Vox is in neutral custody (Earth) and the galactic entities (DeMetrio and LeGarite) have 1 each, whoever has the most wins.
They have no choice but to either comply with Earth's demands and make peace (Asteria and the Foundation's plan), destroy the Vox Aura and try to resolve this with the least death through attrition (Villaguugubbd's plan), steal the Vox Aura and Madoka and force her to kill all of Demetrio, including their homesystem (Dizelmine).

tl;dr Whoever has the most robots wins. The people with the most power (girls) don't want to fight.
Ano Hana, Guilty Crown, and Black Rock Shooter all sound like solid recommendations to me!
On a serious note, Thermae Romae would fit those criteria well enough.
I only recommend one show on that list.

Library Wars!
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0!
Sure, there's a high school, but
it's being used as a makeshift mortuary so it doesn't count

I actually like Library Wars though.
Shoujo action show. It's such an eclectic mix.

So, is it actually good-good?
I always assumed it was just babby's first anti-censorship story from the premise. I have a fondness for modern anime that immediately sink into extreme obscurity so I've still always been kind of curious about it, hah.

Naw, I wouldn't say it's good-good. On a science fiction level, it's really basic.
It's just that the protagonist is a shoujo heroine who a) wants to find her prince and b) is not a doormat. So on the one hand, it's an action anime with actual romance (gasp) or it's a shoujo anime with a heroine who doesn't immediately suck.
So, I guess I enjoy it because of the genre clashes more than the actual craft of the show as a whole.
Sometimes it doesn't take very much to convince me. I'm kind of interested now!
*adds to theoretical backlog in no particular order but probably not any time soon*

It's quite something, isn't it?
Incidentally, the name on the OST for the song that plays during that scene is 快楽, "Kairaku" -- which roughly translates as "pleasure".
I'm still confused at their relationship lol
