Summer 2012 Anime |OT3| Where All the Waifus Are Made Up and the Points Don't Matter

The sex is in the novel, it just doesn't fill entire pages with it. The manga follows the original story, but it detailedly draws all the sex, turning it into kind of the main selling point.
Somebody has to love the losers
I have no hope of keeping up with regular streams. Thats why I buy stuff. In this case everything there except Gundam, but those other four are particularly strong buy recommendations.

No need to be confused!
It's even serialized in a SHOUNEN magazine!
No translations online and it's an actual novel.
Worthy successor!
Thank goodness they're skipping that in SAO.
They are skipping "2 years worth"? DROPPED.

In journeys you discover yourself, and while doing so experiment new things with others along the way, is customary... or something...
...now seriously, that I think is a typical premise of many 'road-movie style' or enlightening voyage works, and sex is always part of it for tight groups of youngsters in search of themselves, like in the gem Y Tu Mamá También. It really is a good example of that.
It got dropped when the online stuff got published as dead tree pamphlets.

Awesome mobile suit designs.
It never existed. But the US fans did think it existed because they thought everything on the website version was canon. 16.5 was just a doujin that the author wrote. The author wrote it but a doujin nonetheless.
There's apparently male-male sex too... idk...
Yeah, the only thing that make those two comparable is they the most remarkable and define each studio in early 2000's.
I want to see both, but I want to pick one at time, so I'm asking.
Thanks!
I'm wrong.. but that list make thing undestandable somehow lol.
Sengoku Collection - Episode 8
This episode centers on Hideyoshi. For those familiar with Japanese history, or if you just played a lot of Onimusha, Sengoku Musou, or Sengoku Basara games, you will know that he is the mastermind who succeeded Nobunaga and unified Japan, ending the sengoku era. Let's look at a comparison between how he is remembered today, and how Sengoku Collection represents the character:
Right, okay, that... sure is... similar. Hold on while I make another appointment with my psychiatrist. It's going to take a while to get this strangeness out of my mind. Anyway, yes, so Hideyoshi in this show is a little girl who loves rice, rice, and nothing but rice. As a cautionary tale to other girls in Japan who might find themselves loving rice too much, the story in this episode is a homage to Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, and whatever other insanity lies in the realm of dreams.
Hideyoshi performs a harvest dance ritual, chases an escaping onigiri, and falls into a hole Alice-style and ends up in a dream world with talking rice. I'm not making any of this up. This also happens to be a very, very pretty dream world. There is also a lot of intentionally nonsensical dialogue, and.... at some point there is a tank moving across a desert. There's a lot more bizarre stuff which I couldn't spoil even if I wanted to because they have to be seen to be believed, but I'll leave you with some shots of the visuals to prove I'm not lying:

Sex and sexuality no longer being taboo is a somewhat lazy way of showing that society and the times have truly changed. Whether there's more to it than that or not, I dunno.

Red is better, but yeah, those outfits are pretty silly looking.
Most, if not all, episodes of Sengoku Collection reference specific movies to some degree of blatantness. I can't say I've seen it myself, but I gather this episode pays a number of highly specific homages to this Eastern European version of Alice in Wonderland.
Apparently.

Why so prude?
I see no problems if the sex parts are well integrated in the story and anime.

That's a brilliant movie; recommended to everyone in the thread.
They're in post-apocalypse world after some kind of
X-Men breakout n killing human
The low-wide ribbon ruins the female design. As an ascot it isn't terrible, but cinching immediately under the bust while not putting it on display is the province of maternity wear and toddlers' jumpers.

I don't see a problem either way. Maybe we'll even get a Nice Spaceship ending!
Rarely have I seen this well executed...
hahahahah, we even roped duckroll into the Sengoku Collection cult, it seems. 18 and 19 are the other ones that you should watch for the time being. I really like 16 too, but it has no actual artistic merit, it's just a great comedy episode.
Months, even!

Sengoku Collection - Episode 8
There's a lot more bizarre stuff which I couldn't spoil even if I wanted to because they have to be seen to be believed, but I'll leave you with some shots of the visuals to prove I'm not lying:
So, I guess the real question for you, and for other Sengoku Collection fans is: how badly would your "enjoyment" of the show be hampered if the background art had been farmed out to some C-tier studio? As Sengoku Collection is a work with a really loose tenuous grip on reality I feel like Studio Pablo are really allowed to go all out when it comes to their amazing backgrounds.

Pffft. Excuses, excuses.
I've never seen maternity wear with a bow like that.
The only reason that I've made it through most of the truly terrible episodes is because they're visually stimulating. Narratively, ninety percent of the show is utterly vapid shit, but it's often really really pretty vapid shit. The amount of genuine artistic talent poured into the show is truly dumbfounding given the subject matter and limited audience:
edit: these aren't necessarily examples of images that come from "bad" episodes, I'm just skipping over the Kaneko episodes since duckroll is posting the highlights. If anyone here wants to experience Studio Pablo beast mode, just watch Episode 18. It's the best episode of the series anyway, even above the Kaneko episodes.
Not with that bow in particular, just in terms of having the visual waist at that level rather than riding above the pelvis.

The one with the school bus wasnt boring
that was the episode when she finally saved up enough money to visit the girl that was her penpal that died like right the day before right?
that was the one with the girl who had amnesia and was traumatized cause Nobunaga kept her from the frontlines, right?
the color is just barely different, but it really does look like that unless you look really hard.
