Oh, am I glad this thread got refreshed. There's some sparklingly good ones in the last couple of posts.

Don't have any new ones myself yet, but I keep thinking that there has to be a good one for Sword Art Online. . .

Here is Hellywood
Put together as many male and female teenagers as Hamdo had lving in close quarters, and there are bound to be hijinks! The current OVA release explores this aspect of life in Hellywood - one that the original TV series unaccountably skipped over.
Thrill to "The Ghost of Hellywood"! Giggle along as we find out that Lala Ru was a transvestite all the time. (The name should have tipped us off, really.) Happy days.

Magic Knight Ray
Just after solving the mysteries of her origin, super surgeon Ray is zapped into a magical realm, Cephiro, where she sets about using her unlikely powers to heal various wondrous creatures of what ails them. Unfortunately, in a world of magic powers, Ray's special abilities of vision are almost as pointless as in our own world of high-tech medical imaging. They come through however in a few slightly contrived situations, like that of a dragon's magnetic, magic-repelling tumor with legs that scampers around the poor beast's system when it hears anyone pick up a scalpel.
Ray finds herself pitted against a fearsome foe, who (we come to learn) is a manifestation by Cephiro of the darkest wishes that Ray carries in her own heart. Turns out though that the whole thing was a misunderstanding, based on Cephiro's mishearing of a lunchtime conversation between Ray and Hospital Director Sawa. All is cleared up and Ray returns home in a huff.

That's an easy one...

Gun Art Online
After Kirito and his friends finally escape from Aincrad and wake up again in the real world, they find out that Akihiko Kayaba is releasing a sequel to Sword Art Online! They happily stand in line for the Limited Edition and start over in this new dangerous world where all swords are replaced by guns. Will they manage to stay alive until the 100th floor, even when they can get shot any minute?

This looks fun

Mysterious Girlfriend XY
We finally learn why Urabe is not like any other girl.

Studying!!
Working's (Wagnaria's) interquel that follows our characters studying for school, or attending classes when they are not at the restaurant. Do they have a life outside of the people they see at work? What does Otonashi's friends think of his cute loving?

Blue Pegasus
While Fairy Tail waits for the manga to make more, we have a show dedicated entirely to Guild master Bob, Ichika, the rest of the boys, and actual female members that we have not seen.

Hell's Lost Property
And you thought that Ikaros and the other Angeloids caused trouble.

And I can think of the name Occult Kindergarten, but can figure out how to mix Occult Academy with Hanamaru Kindergarten.

Tenchi in Tokyo Hot

Washu decides that it is way past time for Tenchi, and her latest scheme puts the "H" back in "Harem"! With the title of "#1 Wife" at stake, Aeka, Ryoko, Mihoshi, and the rest of the gang each gives their all to be the one with the highest-selling video.

Warning! - If you have never heard of Tokyo Hot, it is live-action porn and please be forewarned that an online search will produce extremely graphic NSFW results.

Evangelion: 33.3 You Could (Not) Care Less
Gainax becomes aware that they might have gone to the well once too often.

An actual sequel this time:
Bock: Mesquite Chop BBQ Squad: After playing South by South West (SXSW) in Austin, the van breaks down. While awaiting parts Koyuki and other members of the band spend several days around Austin Texas. Koyuki has a dream where Stevie Ray Vaughn is serving him brisket and pinto beans and warning him to NOT eat the potato salad that John Lennon is offering. The entire band spends several weeks stoned, drunk, and stupified by smokers and enthralled by their results. Several new songs are penned, but..... who knows if they will remember them.

Aria the Punishment: Director Junichi Sato has confirmed that a new series of the popular franchise will be aired in 2013. "Following the critical and popular success of Aria the Origination we've decided to give even more emphasis to the dramatic and psychological side of the story," Junichi Sato told our Japanese correspondent. "To that end we're using Crime and Punishment as our inspiration. We'll also be setting the new series amongst the canals and waterways of Novy Sankt Peterburg. Sorry, Venice."


The main characters of Aria the Punishment (left to right): Araskolnikov, the student who commits a thrill kill; Inspector Aporfiry who delves into his psychological state; and Asonya, the undine and prostitute who convinces Araskolnikov to confess and leads him into the embrace of the mother church.

The author already more or less beat you to this one, since this is pretty similar to the setting for books 5 and 6

Full Metal Alchemist II: The Con of Wrath. Hey, as it turns out, Wrath was only playing dead and now he's back with a vengeance and ready to make Roy T. Mustang sorry he ever held a position of command. "Wrraatthhhh!!!! Wrraatthhhh!!!"

Azumanga Daioh: Class Reunion. Yeah, it's not exactly what you think as I'm thinking of a different movie, maybe; Ten years later, the class gets back together again only for them to be killed off one by one. Guess who the killer is! No, no, you're all wrong, that's how these movies work.

Madlax Beyond Thunderdome. From fighting to the death in a rigged inhuman contest to playing the messiah for a bunch of orphan kids to, well, shooting a lot of people, Madlax's continuing adventures both amaze and make no sense.

Okami-San: Wolf in the Big City. A darker take as the beloved fairy tale characters come to blows with the reality of a uncaring writer/director. Expect pain, suffering and three singing pigs.

Yamada's Second Time. Yeah, still an incorrect title. Third time's the charm!

Girls Bravo 2, a Michael Bay production. More family unfriendly violence, more guy/girl buddy action, far less nudity. Oh, still no plot.

Midori Nights. What does a guy with a girl for a right hand do when the lights go out? He sleeps...

I'm aware of that, I already said it was easy. Wink I haven't read those books but it sounds so silly that I had to use it.

Sorry. It's like a switch in my brain I can't turn off...

An installment in the Here is Hellywood OVA: "Many Happy Returns!!!" A Little Lemony Kiss for Hamdo!
Hamdo has missed Abelia's birthday and, anxious to make it the best birthday ever, uses Hellywood's time-travelling powers to return to the start of the big day and do it right. Needless to say, things don't work out the second time either... or the third time... With multiple future Hamdos running around and trying to avoid each other, rest assured that there are capers aplenty.

He sees a partner in crime in Lelouch, spoiler[who wants to kill his father,] until they realize they're too different and want to murder each other. Because Light won't care about spoiler[Nunnally's] fate... A battle of wits and powers!

Dragonaut Z- Jin and Toa's young son is captured by an alien race sparking revelations about Jin's past, galaxy traversing adventures, and lots of wasted time, as characters grunt and scream for long periods of time "powering up" which in the case of the female dragons only increases the size of their already ginormas boobs.

Sister Princess Mononoke- In this sequel movie to the much-loved Miyazaki film, San spends the entire 2 hours to write a 2 sentence letter to Ashitaka.

Cockatrice- tv sequel of Basilisk. We discover that the whole first series was a premonition seen by Ogen (leader of the Iga ninjas). Seeing the horrible tragedy she would have caused by terminating the cease-fire, she moves up Oboro's and Gennosuke's wedding date to before the shogun succession dispute. Everyone lives happily ever after.

Heck Girl - Tokyo having run out of nasty, despicable people, a new mysterious spinoff website appears for those merely annoyed with those who take parking spaces, and barge into grocery lines with eight items. Once summoned, the avenger will annoy the foe with various is-this-bugging-you stunts, transport them to the edge of town and drop them off. But there is a price to be paid, as those who summon often break shoelaces and misplace cellphones later.
