I watched Blue Gender before and the reason I didn't recommend it is because its not marathonable. And the pacing change once they get to the station is pretty bad, like you're watching an entirely different anime.

May I ask what you didn't like about it? :/

1. the guy is quite literally retarded
2. the quality sucks
3. the show didn't even really come off as likable, the whole thing just felt like a cheap B movie horror flick
4. it didn't help the entire episode consisted of the lead screaming his brain out, running, cowering, and pissing on himself
5. the whole thing was just really poorly executed
The only real redeeming quality it had was that the girl had a cool mask and I liked her English dub VA. Other than that... it was pretty much terrible.
Old shows are one thing, I liked SDF Macross, but old and terrible... nooo. >_<

(click to show/hide)Speed Grapher is about a photographer. He ended up being a war-time photographer and discovered that seeing bodies get shot all to hell and blown up while looking through the lens of his camera really turned him on. After the war ended, he pretty much became a crime scene photographer.
He hears about a secret organization, where any wish you want can come true. He investigates, sneaks his way in... and sees all the politicians and rich people there, doing some insane stuff. He ends up finding his way to where some ritual is happening, a girl floats down from the ceiling, gives him a bit of tongue... and next thing you know, his greatest desire comes true: whenever he looks through the lens of a camera and takes a picture, he blows shit sky high!
And then everyone is out to kill him.

That..... doesn't even sound like something I'd like. :-\

I did say you'd hate the main guy for the first few episodes. He grows some balls later on. The series as a whole takes about three or four episodes to really get going. (And really, wouldn't you be freaking the hell out if you got rudely awakened like he did, assuming your "disease" is about to get cured, to see gigantic f'ing bugs eating people? Cut him some slack!)

You gave Mnemosyne a 10/10. I view them both as very similar series. But if you don't like bad animation, then you probably won't like it, as the style looks very dated *shrug*
Tiffanys:
I just watched the first episode... wow, that was fucked up...
I'll watch a few more, but I think you really have me pegged completely wrong. Because I liked Mnemosyne doesn't mean that I'm a Sadist. That was actually the one thing about Mnemosyne that I didn't like. :-\
I have a thing for immortality, and yuri. That, and the action and story was pretty nice. But the sadistic torture part of it, I didn't really enjoy that.
