1 I've never seen it but the show does look eminently plunderable, though the readers admonition against Queens Blade has me flummoxed. (Perhaps there was a choice given?) 
In any event, my vote is to plunder, pilfer, purloin and pillage purposefully.

2 I made it about five episodes into this when it was airing, and then became utterly bored with it.  All I remember is that the story was a complete mess and the cheesecake wasn't enough to overcome it.

Your mileage may vary.

I've been working backwards from ep 12, and yesterday I finished ep 8. It is so heavily depressing, though, that I've been having a hard time sticking with it. Alka, the nominal heroine, is suffering from the worst case of PTSD I've ever seen in anime, reducing her later in the series into a quivering pile of angst.

Early in the series she was just stoic, never showing any expression or emotion. Late in the series she spends all her time crying.

I don't need help feeling depressed, and I'm not sure I've got it in my to finish this.

Maybe I should download To Love-Ru and process that instead.

I gave up. Instead I just ran the rest of Nanoha Vivid and got another 82 candidates.

And I've downloaded the second and third To Love-Ru series and will be taking a look at them tomorrow.

5 The hard part there is finding enough SFW shots...

6 To Love-Ru is amazing in the sense that so many story arcs end in a crotch faceplant.

7 After 13 episodes I've only seen two of those. (One each Haruna and Eve.)

8 Steven,      the one thing I remember about this series with some fondness was the closing animation, with the innkeeper doing the dance with the fan...
