I thought I was the only one to watch PGSM before the anime.

"Shinbo", assuming he's a real person, is an auteur in both the positive and negative sense of the word. The thing is, he's the only person outside of Yuasa who seems confident enough in expressing a specific visual aesthetic that most people seem to be afraid of doing in TV anime.
Even Nisekoi, which is complete garbage, is elevated by being adapted by Shaft. If it was a JC Staff or whatever adaptation, it would have had little redeeming value beyond the waifus sparking silly waifu-wars.

For sure, which is the main reason I'll always have an affection for SHAFT even when they occasionally get on my nerves. Not enough auteur-driven stuff in the TV anime world.
Most studios have a "look" to their work. I just feel like Shaft found something that really works for their way of doing things and they should stick with it.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica ep 3.
Hmm... I guess that's that then. Rule of thumb,
Hmm... I guess that's that then. Rule of thumb,
if you're not the protagonist, do not get cocky.
You'll continue. People always continue.
It just feels so weird when a character sits back and does nothing only to be a Deus Ex Machina or some huge plot device or something.
Having an army of incompetent minions is a visual aesthetic?
Gus, I need some advice again... Just like you guys said, I have watched Toradora, and also watched Pet Girl of Sakurasou (which is very good IMO, since I can totally relate to sorata and nanami). And despite kinda generic, I liked Say I Love You... I guess Im a sucker with char development shows...
So, any more recommendations?

Insert Bones joke here.
A goddess
Oh boy. If you think that now...
Honestly the nudity doesnt really factor into the show much.
Mekakucity Actors was the show that made it feel super obvious to me.
I've been a member of the toku fandom even before I started watching anime, so it was easy enough for me to make that transition. Plus it's written by Yasuko Kobayashi. Love her work.

I liked it so far, the artwork is astounding, and the story is quite good.
Yeah, he seems like he will grow into a selfish little bastard very fast, but eh, as long as the 14 episodes before the game are not that bad I'll just give up on the rest so I don't tarnish my memories.
And that comment about the nudity was just a joke thought, it is very quick and just for a bit.

It honestly wouldn't look that bad if she appeared similar to the first image that pops up in Google.

At least now we're finally getting some plot advancement now that
the entire group truly believes in ghost Menma now.
That is one of the most adorable things Ive ever seen.

I tried to like Nana, but what I saw of it was basically the anime version of a CW teen soap.nana
skip beat
lovely complex
kimi ni todoke
chihiyafaru
did I mention nana
I'll take that as the highest praise.
if that is the case I really need to start watching CW teen soaps as they are loaded with fun music, and a story that after the first few episodes just keeps up a nice pace of character growth
easily nana is my most listened to OST... so many great songs to it
winter sleep is rather pretty
meanwhile both rose and lucy rock (and these are just a few of the songs... i mean the people who did the music for the anime actually went on an Nana tour with just music from the show

Madoka-2
Witch Realms are like someones on a baaaad trip.
Not much has happened. Madoka is a moe-blob, Homura is going to be the villain with good intentions, Sakuya is annoying and Mami is life. QB makes me want to hit someone, his smug ass face could make even Gil angry. Man, if anything happens to Mami I'm going to rage.
Well onto EP3. Guess this is where ''shit gets real"

Hitsugi no Chaika Season 1
Finished the show today and really liked it overall. Chaika was the highlight without a doubt for me, she is to adorable. I assume at the end of the last episode that Viivi
I suppose we will find out this fall.
Working! Season 1
This show was great, Popura was one of my favorite parts of it. Didn't think a show about people working at a restaurant would be so great. The cross dressing episodes were a highlight as well and Popura's reaction to it. Going to watch season 2 soon, looking forward to it.

Granted I didn't watch much of it and it has been a few years, but you're making it sound much more light hearted than I remember it being.if that is the case I really need to start watching CW teen soaps as they are loaded with fun music, and a story that after the first few episodes just keeps up a nice pace of character growth

Well, that's true enough.

I know right. As someone who is almost exclusively a giant robot show watcher, this was an amazing thing to randomly stumble upon years ago when it first aired. Simple premise and does not take weird anime brother sister love harem twists.

Yep. This is definitely going in the direction I figured it'd be going in.

hmmmm?
The only things I said is that nana would be a decent show to watch and it has good music, at no point did I mention how light hearted it was
their last line was
not list off light hearted shows so I am not sure where in the world you got that from.
Anyways, while nana can be light hearted when things are going well overall it is not a light hearted show, heck there is a better than average chance that at points you will want to cry watching it. But that is because they develop the characters well and get you to care about them, so when the sad moments come they can really land and make you feel it. As for not watching much of it... the first 4-5 eps of nana really aren't all that good/anything special, after those though I really enjoyed the ride to the finish (despite all the darn recap episodes ><)
If you want a more light hearted show go watch skip beat, nodame or lovely complex (all of which have drama moments but are overall full of more comedy then drama)
