She's also in Kemeko DX and Nogizaka Haruka No Himitsu if I'm not mistaken. |

Having seen both Kemeko and Haruka's Secret neither of them are anywhere near on the ecchi scale to Kanokon.
EDIT: Though I haven't watched Purezza, so that may be. |

Yeah, Purezza was....definitely upping the ecchi level. (Needless to say, it wasn't as good as season 1) |

Then I'm glad I dropped it after the first episode. Kanokon really isn't my kind of ecchi anime. I prefer fanservice shows with actual plot over the mindless kind that focuses mostly on boobs and panties. |

I watched 1 1/2 episodes of this series some years back online...and my god...That was MORE than enough. I thought anime was going to hell after watching this. WHY do they bring this BS over to U.S. WHO is asking for the BS in the U.S.???

Ah, come on now, fella. I can understand that certain shows aren't to people's taste, but it does seem rather mean-spirited and joyless to argue that fans of such shows shouldn't be provided for.
You can't even use the tiresome argument that this stuff 'is killing anime' (I know you didn't say that, but it's a common complaint); look at all the other good stuff coming along. Durarara, Eden of the East, Hetalia, plenty more! Anyway, uh...yeah. Having said that, after seeing bits of it on YouTube a good while back, all I can say is: Goddamn. Where else can ecchi go after this?!

That's a question probably best not asked. (See Seikon no Qwaser, where the super-powered warriors empower themselves by sucking on the breasts of nubile girls - no, I'm not making this up.) |

Haha! I did say 'ecchi', not 'batshit mental borderline hentai'!
In defense of what I have seen of Seikon no Qwaser (episodes 1 & 2), it felt to me that the show was perfectly aware of just how silly its premise was, and played up to it. Really, I was chuckling at it all the way through those two eps. Then the preview for episode 3 came up and introduced goth loli Katja, so I stopped watching. I am not going there!  I've also been told that episode 15 is the ultimate in WTF mentalism: spoiler[Sasha is lectured to by a pair of breasts.  ]

I've been asking the same question for years. Several years ago, I read one-two chapters of the manga and that was more than enough. It's really nothing but fan service and more fan service. Though I do know how wants this brought over into the United States and that is group of otaku that rather watch shows that have only fan service instead of plot instead of shows that use plot instead of fan service. I do wish less of these shows were licensed and dubbed and more intelligent shows with a solid plot and limited fan service were licensed and dubbed. You see one fan service show like this, you've seen them all. |

The same people who ask for other ecchi fanservice shows or even hentai anime. Oh no, anime isn't a pure hipster art form that commands respect and praise because of, gasp, nipples! |

Oh, I agree. That's what's made it watchable for me.
So you don't want to know, then, that she turns out to be spoiler[a lesbian dominatrix who essentially turns the bully-girl into a virtual sex slave?] (Again, no, I am not making that up.)
This is, in a way, completely accurate. I really have to get around to finishing that one. . . |

My favorite character. Just saying. I actually somehow did manage to finish this one. |

See, it's this kind of anime that pisses me off and makes me wonder why people complain that "why don't we get good storylines anymore". It's because people keep wanting stupid girls in fox tails or something along the lines of it that Japan writers keep writing this instead of giving us good shows like Durarara and DTB.
But, if this is what the people demand, let it be. |

Whoa, pump your brakes, Sonic. Ecchi fans demand stuff like High School of the Dead, Mahoromatic, Girls Bravo, Dirty Pair, and Tenchi Muyo, shows that have ecchi and are very entertaining for one reason or another. The fact that stuff like Kanokan gets made is proof that you can't hit home run every time at bat. Sometimes you swing and miss (in the case of Kanokan they swung, missed, the bat flew out of their hands, hit an elderly man in the head, and then got ejected out the game for being a complete idiot and danger to the fans). |

;; Hmm... She was in Rin/Mnemosyne, which had its sexual moments, but most people probably wouldn't lump that OVA series with Kanokon. There are one or two other series mentioned in her list on ANN that might have had some sexual humor, but they're not ones that I've seen.
