It takes more than a transformation sequence to make a show a magical girl anime. If it didn't, you could call Kill la Kill one, which it most definitely is not. I like tragedy and drama in anime, but only when it's done right. When it comes to tragedy and shock value, one moment has far more impact than dozens of moments strung together. I stop feeling anything if it's piled up constantly; it loses all meaning and the characters don't really grow as a result of it. With Madoka, if they had stopped with episode 3 and given the characters time to process it and the impact it had, it would have been a better show. Instead, they moved right along and just kept on piling on the misery, and it lost all impact. Misery for the sake of misery does not make good viewing.
I watched the Danganronpa anime before I played the game, but I get where you're coming from, aha. The games are stage based with a few cutscenes in between like Dynasty Warriors, so the character development for the main characters is actually about the same. Judge End fails a bit because there are just so damn many of them, but the first two seasons are great for it...and the movie is just plain crazy. Did I mention how good the OST was? This is Nobunaga's theme. xD
Oh? Which anime have you seen that you couldn't stand? I'm curious :3

In order to deconstruct a genre, you first need to be a part of it, and I wouldn't consider Madoka a magical girl series...that isn't just because I dislike it either. I'm surprised the game hasn't been localized; they showed the clip show movies in American cinemas, after all...
The first two series are loosely based off the first two games, and The Last Party/Judge End are based off the third game, Samurai Heroes, yeah. I've not played the first two games, but the third series and movie do a passable job of adapting the source material...the movie takes the awesome ending route, and the series adapts the standard route and gives more focus to the extended cast, rather than just the ones that actually matter. xD
I'd say whether it's a good thing or not depends on how much like Chaos;Head it is...that's pretty much my standard for these things. The more like that is, the worse it gets, aha.

Yeah if something takes more work than anticipated, I usually take longer to do it. It has to do with impatience, mostly.

I'm not a huge fan of cute Pokémon but I like cute things in general. ^^

Yeah the overdose of pink makes you seem cute and huggable. :P

I procrastinate the procrastination, actually.

If I wasn't lazy I would've finished it already. :P

It's cool that you like pretty things.

4 years. :P

Yeah, I don't write very often, and it's not my job, so it takes a little longer.

Yeah, I'm kind of in the minorty with this one...I can't stand it. I'll spare you the rant. xD
Well, 00 is a little less politics and a little more action; I think they did a much better job of it than they did Wing or SEED. Basara is just plain fun, although I'd say definitely watch The Last Party before Judge End. It adapts the same material, but the movie is just sooooo much better. If you like Engrish, you will love Date Masamune - he's arguably the star of the show and he's constantly using it <3
I always go with one or the other; rarely will I watch what I've read, or read what I've watched...inevitably ruins my view of it. Printed works are usually better than their counterparts, though.
I guess that makes Steins;Gate the odd one out, aha. Chaos;Child was their next project, but I'm not sure if that's getting an anime adaptation or not...and since it's set after Chaos;Head, if it did I definitely wouldn't be watching it :P

It's a girl who after an accident finds out she has powers, and basically her dealing with them. ^^

Better, I'm working on an original project.

I'm skeptical, but I love writing about magical stuff.

Well, the target audience is typically young Japanese girls, so it's not too surprising...I have to admit, I cringe sometimes at some of it, and I love the magical girl genre, aha. I'm typically wary of MAL recommendations and ratings...after all, Code Geass and Madoka are both high scorers on there, and those are awful, awful shows. Different strokes, I guess.
For action...hmm...well, you definitely can't go wrong with Gurren Lagann, but Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is pretty good as well. Sengoku Basara is good for some mindless, over-the-top carnage, as well. Lots of special moves, dramatic statements, and glorious Engrish. xD
I've yet to see a horror anime that has scared me as well, although one that did keep me on the edge was Another. Up to the last two episodes, it's great fun, because someone gets killed off every episode. But as for who it might be...it likes to lead you around a bit; it's quite fun sometimes!
Robotics;Notes is on my to-do list...I'm kinda wary of it, because I think Steins;Gate was a bit of a fluke. I watched Chaos;Head first, and I hated every second of it. xD

What do you like the most about science?

I think you're not interested in religion stuff. Well, neither am I. :P

Aha, I know how you feel...I pick up a lot of shows but end up dropping a lot of them after the first few episodes.
At the moment I'm watching HappinessCharge Precure, A Certain Scientific Railgun, Go! Princess Precure and Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. Not sure I'd recommend any of them without knowing exactly what it is you're looking for, aha...although if Shigatsu keeps things up it could be the fourth anime I give a perfect score on MAL. What sort of thing are you in the mood to watch? :3
Sometimes you just have to be in the right state of mind, no? I had to try three times before I could bring myself to watch Steins;Gate because of its awful start...but I loved it in the end~

I have no idea. Mohammed had a vision in his dreams and he believed it so strongly that bam, Islam is the religion with the most supporters nowadays.

(it also helped that Mohammed was great political leader, but you get the point)

Well, you could hear Jesus' voice in your dreams, but that still wouldn't prove God exists.

Nothing really catching your eye, or just a lack of time? :O
I've got four anime on the go at once at the moment...five if you count Pokemon, aha. I've not watched Mekakucity Actors yet - I started to, but I don't think I was in the mood for it, so I dropped it. Might pick it up again somewhen in the future though~

Oh yeah, that's it!

But why did you decide for atheism? The church bored me, and I was never too comfortable with having a god.

That's understandable. I just care about the chocolate. It's a very important day for Christians, but I don't share their faith...

Nope, not much of a religious person. I don't even know why we eat chocolate on Easter.
