Was shocked that a series that sells ~30K debut for manga volumes got an anime, but I guess it was a bet to take, or a gamble?

Psch, half of Theonik's Love Lab impressions have been titled "Rabu Rabu". Which isn't even a proper romanisation of the actual Japanese title (Rabu Rabo), so I think that counts as wanton Japanisation of a series that's already Japanese =p
Code Breaker is good fun.
Fucking yessssssss.

I second the Code:Breaker recommendation.
Either Fullmetal Alchemist series.
Rozen Maiden Zurückspulen Episode 01
Ah that wasn't so bad.
I don't really care about dolls or lolita fashion but I'm a sucker for good atmosphere which AnimeGAF tells me this has quite a bit of. As I've never looked into this series before, the first episode seemed to recap the previous events of the story well enough. Wasn't nearly as messy as I expected and the plot seems simple enough to grasp. It's certainly a bit darker than I was expecting, which isn't a bad thing at all for me. Gonna try to speed through this show and other summer series before the fall thread starts up.
Also, now I finally know where that whole "desu" meme sprouted from.

I'm pretty sure that is a harem character requirement to react like that.
Arata ? shonen with cool action ? We must not have seen the same anime.
Hunter X Hunter is all you need.
If you want more afterward go with Toriko.
No offense DTL but whatever you do stay away from Arata.
Or they're telling the audience her boobs grew.
What are those?

Hunter x Hunter and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Ignore everything else.
Guys! Guys! I think I can come up with a totally accurate reproduction of a conversation between some executives in charge of the Sneaker Bunko light novel brand at Kadokawa!
Executive A: We have a problem.
Executive B: Damn right we do. Nagaru Tanigawa isn't writing any more goddamn Haruhi books!
Executive C: So what? We have a whole library of light novel series! We're not just "the Haruhi guys"!
Executive A: Yeah? What's the most popular series we've got right now that isn't Haruhi?
Executive C: Uhhhhhh... NouCome?
Executive A: I repeat: We have a problem.
Executive B: Nobody cares about us these days. It's all about those Dengeki guys. They've got all the series that people are actually reading; we've got squat.
Executive C: Okay, okay, no big deal. If we can't get Tanigawa to write more Haruhi, let's just get someone else to make a spinoff series! Easy money, right?!
Executive B: Another Haruhi spinoff? Do you have any idea how many of those we've already done?
Executive A: We're not stretching out that franchise any thinner. End of.
Executive C: Uhhhh...all right, then. If we can't get more Haruhi, we should just get someone to write us another series that's like Haruhi! Pretend it's something shiny and new, while following the exact same formula! That's a surefire recipe for success!
Executive B: Dude, the entire light novel industry has already tried that. There are uninspired Haruhi clones on every shelf of every bookstore. Making another one now isn't going to catch anyone's attention.
Executive A: Yeah, sorry, but that idea's a dead end.
Executive C: Then, uhhhhh...how about we do the opposite? Instead of making a series that's a total copy of Haruhi, but pretending it's not...we could make a series that really hasn't got anything to do with Haruhi, but make it look like it has! Put Haruhi's name in the title! Copy the Haruhi cover art style! Hell, we could even get Tanigawa to endorse it, he owes us that much!

Ore no Class ni Haruhi wa Inai
("There Is No Haruhi In My Class")
"Looks like Suzumiya Haruhi isn't going to show up today either." There's an empty seat at the back of the classroom. Rumour has it that there's a mysterious beautiful girl who never shows up at school. My seat is right in front of hers, but no mystery ever presents itself. Nothing that seems like it should come out of a story would ever happen to me. Yet one day, on my way home after helping my childhood friend Kasuga take the first step on the road to becoming a seiyuu, I find myself randomly invited to a meal with an anime scriptwriter called Makoto-san, and suddenly I'm surrounded by all sorts of industry pros?! Thus begins a super-miraculous tale of youth, bitter yet just slightly sweet.
I wish I was joking.

Motto! Ojamajo Doremi 5
Motto! continues its grand shake up of the cast from the moment it split everyone off from each other, that the SOS Trio is no more since the two that stuck together found a new member, so Sugiyama gained another partner to form a duo.... and it doesn't go well.
Momoko and her english pride helps them because she understands them. Now I understand her, I love me some slap stick too, but she pretty much gained a trait from Hazuki from laughing at bad jokes... well bad slapstick jokes. Guess there will be much competing for attention here, even if Sugiyama's partner already does that since he's smart and good at basketball.
Unrelated: loved how Doremi was slowing down with Onpu when she was talking about her job. Pears!

So Hunter x Hunter is getting moved from Sunday mornings to 1:29 AM on Tuesday.

I actually think Accelerator is almost the only decent character in the series. He actually gets some character development between the seasons.
Before Railgun the choice was him or Thouma and Thouma's only personality trait was "YOUR USING MAGIC/SCIENCE, HULK HATE PUNY SCIENCE/MAGIC, HULK SMASH!"
