For obvious reasons I won't do hentai.
I'm doing it in a format similar to the Big List of Anime thread, but the rating's replaced with Interest, so it'll be like:

Way back in the early 80s, Gainax (then Daicon Film) created a short called Daicon IV which featured a bunny girl doing battle. This became somewhat of a legendary film and was paid homage to some 20-odd years later in the opening sequence of the super-popular Densha Otoko drama, created by GONZO. The bunny girl that GONZO used was named Mina and was featured quite prominently throughout the Densha Otoko series. The character of and the merchandise around Mina became so popular and the demand was so high that GONZO decided to create an actual anime about her.

When the World War ends, she`s transported to the city of Olympus to live peacefully and finds out that, in an effort to protect the human race from future wars, humans have created the Bioriods, a geneticaly enhanced race of people that have restrained feelings and therefore cannot hurt each other. She discovers, however, that not everyone is happy with this Human-Bioriod symbiosis: many humans treat Bioriods as a lower species and a threat to their future, the human-controlled Military is seeking annihilation of all Bioriods and the Bioriod-controlled government is afraid of a coup d` etat. The task falls on Deunan to bring peace to the world again. In this she`s aided by her former lover, Briareos, who has lost his body in war and has become a cyborg: a brain in an artificial body.

Maplestory
Summary: None but I can easily predict the plot: Main guy (warrior) goes on a journey with his love interest/childhood friend (mage) and their friends (archer and thief) to go to someplace far (Ludi, El Narth, Zipangu, etc.) while getting job upgrades to kill a boss (Balrog, Alishar, Crimson, etc.).
Thoughts: It seems this is gonna take over Gurren's time slot when it ends. But that's all the info I have.
