Were any of these shows based off of their manga counterparts, or were they just created as anime?
You'll have to ask an anime nerd. I don't know **** (except for Higurashi, it started off as a visual novel kinda game and was made into a really good show, except for this new thing they made which is Really Bad)
there is no hope. no future.

There is hope. The anime industry isn't as big as it used to be, as soon as they realize that what they're doing to it now is the cause then they might just revert back to making good, watchable anime.

UGUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Dude, actually watch When They Cry before you decide to mock its lighter moments. The show's about a time-looping town where people are repeatedly butchered to death in increasingly nasty ways. I could do without the "comedy" episodes myself (which serve to put you off your guard when the nasty stuff comes), but the show is quite good and ends pretty spectacularly.

I have my answer. It's not very good porn at all, but oh **** this is unbelievably funny. The original Japanese dub is boring, but damn some of the scenes are just batshit insane. The English dub just takes it to where the Japanese weren't willing to go to.

Also the entirety of School Days (http://www.anime-planet.com/anime/school-days) which is probably the worst anime I've ever seen to its conclusion. People kept saying it was good but I'm pretty sure i dun got trolled.

Yeah your getting trolled. School Days is the opposite end of the fanservice spectrum. It's a Hentai game/series, but with the porn cut out, they max out the already over the top violence instead. So you just basically watched Guro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ero_guro).

The funny thing about that (kind of disturbing) intro is that Moon Phase is actually a fairly decent show (especially by vampire anime standards) and nothing like that intro. The show's actual main character isn't even in that intro. :confused;

yeah i watched a few episodes of that show. You're right it's not terrible but still isnt my cup of tea anyways. The opening is still pretty lulzy though in that "wtf Japan" kind of way.
Also NHK is actually a really good show, the pururin thing is basically a parody of the kind of stuff that's in this thread.

Yeah, I watched that show in its entirety on Funimation's streaming site a few years back, and it's pretty good. It's on my list of anime DVD sets I'll pick up...someday, along with the BluRay versions of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and The Escaflowne movie.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is in a league of its own. I would highly recommend 5 Centimeters Per Second on Blu-Ray, it's an animated canvas. The art is beautiful.

The Witchblade anime ain't bad. Takes some getting used to (pretty overtly sexual in the beginning) but it's got an interesting story--fun take on the Top Cow character.

Eh, I've seen that series, and my big problem with it is that the show is just needlessly padded, and the padding is not the least bit interesting. I'm not talking about the generally-entertaining Witchblade fights, either. IIRC the 2nd half of that series is just padded with episode after episode of people just talking to each other in a monotone fashion about things we really don't care about. The mother-daughter relationship was generally good, though.
And yes, the Girl Who Leapt Through Time is awesome. I've had the DVD LE for several years now, but I've been wanting to upgrade to the BluRay. Unfortunately, with Bandai Entertainment USA going under, that BluRay was never released into any retail store here and it's still more expensive than it really should be online. Unfortunately, I'll have to pick it up sometime in the near future because those copies will start getting scarce soon.

TRSI actually has a sale going on right now for Funimation DVDs/BluRays, so I finally got around to ordering a copy of the Welcome to the NHK DVD set for $20 (& a $30 copy of Hellsing Ultimate v1-4 BR).

I find it really funny how some places are charging so much for the NHK DVD. My best bud said he went to anime convention in Tennessee and they where selling it for 80! I got mine for 20 at Bestbuy and when I went to Anime Expo saw it for 25 with plenty of copies to spare.
It's a great anime to rewatch. There is so much forshadowing and references to future events. You can easily catch them too, espically in the opening scene of the first episode. You will enjoy it.
