Funimation licence Speed Grapher

Yes, being Duran Duran is rather scary, and the song is a bit terrifying, but I'm really enjoying the anime so far. It's lewd, violent and over-the-top, but still manages to gather together a good plot. The bad animation doesn't really bother me, since I prefer a good storyline to animation.
 
Once you've seen the first few episodes the OP theme seems oddly fitting, the main character's a photographer after all and the show has all the decadence and sleaze the eighties is infamous for, I think it was a coy move on Gonzo's part.
 
The anime certainly basks in sleaze. I'm becoming rather addicted to this series, I even love the minimalistic (read as cheap) animation. The storyline really seems to be coming together at such an early stage, and could be something phenominal by the end.
