Suisei no Gargantia episode 6 or How to do fanservice right.
That episode was one of the sexiest thing I've seen and yet, it kept it classy and not erotic.

I don't know what it is about the series but I really like it so far even though barely anything has happened.  I think the "good feelings" in it are contagious...or some shit like that.

Sexiest anime scene I've seen is, of all things, a fucking haircut in FMP. I really wish I could say it proved you can be sexy WITHOUT cheap fanservice, but at the very end they showed some boobs anyway.

Funny thing is that I just watched that haircut scene a few hours ago.

^ Do they ever hook up anyways or was it always just the will-they-won't-they?

Sousei no Gargantia
For a silly episode idea (it was effectively a stand-off for half an episode) it played out with quite a bit of intensity and had some interesting implications with regards to alien warfare that Ledo's life dealt with.  I like the sociological aspects too, the two completely different worlds that Ledo and Earth-humans deal with but are in a very similar environment, but with different circumstances. 
Ledo fights aliens as they fight back; and Earth-aliens and Earth-humans share a coexistence and mutual prosperity.  Bravo.  I see a THEME developing!!!
I also love the soundtrack.... but am totally numb to the op/ed of the series itself for being particularly uninspired.

...also worth noting, speaking our main girl's job of playing a messenger [?] girl in a hang glider, we rarely get panty-shots.  Yay!

EDIT: I was also praying that shit would 180 and Ridget would shoot that fucking squirrel.  I HATE ANIME CUTE THINGS.  Especially ones that serve little purpose beyond squealing "cute noises" when things get a bit quiet.

I'm usually pretty grim and going "This is the worst anime season ever" every season... but last season and this season were/are actually really good. I can't say I have any complaints overall.
Hell, after the eternal mecha drought, it's almost a flood now - which I'm fully fine with =)

The best part of playing Tale of the Abyss was the constant abuse on the mascot character from Luke.

Can anyone recommend a great manga/anime movie thats similar to or better than Ninja Scroll or Fist of the Northstar (2 of my favorites of all time.)

Try looking up Legend of the Black Lion (if I recall the name correctly; its either Black Lion or Ghost Lion but I think its the former). Either way its about ninjas, quests for revenge, and stuff I don't want to spoil for reasons you'll understand once you watch it.

Black Lion is alright!  I got it in my manga collection few years ago. Thanks for responding!
