Meh, I found the recent trend of anime is quite degrading to females in general. I mean, seriously, what's up with almost all recent animes being practically porn?

I watched both Eva 2.0 and the Haruhi Movie. There is no clear cut winner. It all depends on your personal taste.

Sex sells? With the new bill introduced there's plenty of potential for greatness that goes around it.

And not everything has really been that way. Take Katanagatari for example. Plus Spring 2011 is looking very promising.

It's just that when I visit Random Curiosity, it seems that 90% of the blogged shows involve ecchi element as one of its central themes.

I heard about that Japanese bill, banning all "inappropriate" anime/manga.

I feel that the anime industry is heading toward a dead end. The manga industry fairs little better.

It's just that there is no real incentive for talented individuals to go into the industry.

The only anime I am looking forward to is Code Geass season xxx. If KyotoAnimation decides to make something, I'll be sure to check that out as well.

Kaiji season 2 and Gintama continuation should be good for next season.

Perhaps it is time for you to catch up on some anime from the past.

It's a solid plan. I'm taking some extra time to watch Eureka Seven and The World God Only Knows.

Nothing wrong with a good bit of fan service. I've found that I enjoy pretty much all types of anime nowadays. The fan service and comedy series are great for when you just want to lounge around all day and watch something light hearted.

Yar, I enjoy a good ecchi comedy for laughs, but then there's great series with not too many boobs or sex jokes.

Aria, Bakuman, Fractle, Gosick, Kimi ni Todoke, and Tegami Bachi are just a few in my currently watching list that are great, but have little to no ecchi elements.

Exactly. I'm pumped to watch Madoka Magica and Index II's fanservice is doing me proud.

Though you can always go for more extreme fanservice, like Highschool of the Dead.

-returns from the dead-

This is pretty much what turned me off from anime in 2010 and now. I want a show with some substance, even if it is going to trainwreck later.

quickscan of my external shows that the last time i downloaded anime was for Darker than Black and Angel Beats.

Fractale was an interesting concept this season but I'll reserve judgment on it until a few more episodes come out.

Rather than catching up with old animes, I find it more rewarding to catch up with old manga series.
Manga, unlike anime, stays consistent in quality throughout. The quality of an anime episode is a rollercoaster.
