I don't know what you've been watching, but from what I've seen, most H-anime goes way beyond just "hot making out scene."

Aside from regulation, I think it's because watching people make out is not very interesting by itself. Basically making out is the same as foreplay, except the former doesn't immediately lead to sex. So, I'd rather watch the whole thing instead of stopping in the middle, and I assume this is true for most people as well.

Furthermore, make out scenes are not very good plot devices, either. A simple kiss or (implied) sex is enough to establish the context and invoke an emotional response from the audience. Again, it is at the awkward middle where it either takes too much screen time (compared to a kiss) or doesn't pack as much a punch (compared to sex scenes).

I believe this is pretty much true for all forms of fiction, not just anime. The one exception I can think of would be teen movies. Since the pattern there is ones first sexual experience, a make out scene definitely would fit somewhere along the story. Come to think of it, is there an anime that follows the teen movie template?

Anyway, the closest thing I recall to a "hot making out scene" is in KareKano. What you see is Anima & Yukino passionately making out, but it's pretty clear that they're really having sex; Gainax just can't show it.

Nana has quite a few scenes. Nana and Ren pretty spend all their time making out or having sex when they are together.

Yep there is a second season and its already started airing from Jan 6 .

New winter Anime.

[Guardian Enzo]

Unfortunately, I believe that is a rebroadcast.

[physics223]

It's a rebroadcast. You have been punk'd.

[blahdida]

yeah, it led to the same official site as it first came out, but what im curious about is whether the light novel of the serie goes further than the anime, cus if it does im really interested to find the scans for it. Hoping for a timeskip of some sort

[aliensporebomb]

Bummer - I'd like to see a second season - it would have been interesting to
see how that would have panned out.

I was wondering why is there a version 2 for episode 8 avi version?

both of them had the missing TL @ 16:04. episode 12 might be out the week of march 11th, so stay tuned

[Zu Ra]

Yes it was the best romantic comedies of 06 IMO .Regarding a season 2 : How many GNs are out leaving season 1 ?

[outcast_within]

They show peaked early for me.
It didn't get as good as it was after episode four.

But i really liked that episode. The brown haired/half sad tenko had a kinda epic feel to it.
After that with the ai stuff and devil stuff it became it bit more generic.

But the start and the idea was really interesting.
Also the primula was fun to watch.

[kamikazex]

watched this a long long long long time ago...and i just re-watched it and it was still good lol
