Either some episode has no audio or some episode dont work all together. I need a more reliable source to download. I also try to download the episode individually but no one is seeding. Any other site would help, thank you.
I've never had this problem with tokyotosho. =/ Are you downloading from well known subbing groups or are you just downloading whatever?

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any other Animes out there similar to this one. Clean (No Hentai) but very funny w/ sexual innuendos or jokes. Look forward to anyones input, thanks ;D!
Mitsudomoe comes to mind. I don't know how good it is though since I've never watched it.
Edit: What the. That was supposed to be an edit...

im downloading whatever. which subbing group do you recommend?
When in doubt, check out the anime on myanimelist and see what people say about the subbing groups. For instance: http://myanimelist.net/anime/2251/Baccano! recommends Ayu, and I think that's what I used when I watched the show. Just keep in mind that other people's subbing preferences may not be your preferences.
http://www.ji-hi.net/ does comparisons of different subs, but it only started up recently, so it won't have anything for older anime.

Golden Boy is a perfect fit dude. I'm not really into comedies or romances, but this anime is truely hilarious with many sexual jokes and no hentai. I think this anime best fits your needs.

Edit: Notice a lot of animes are based in a school setting, interesting! Just an observation. Continue on.
There are also a lot of animes where the first scene will be at school. Then they NEVER go to school again.

IMO, in Bakemonogari, they walked around alot, talked about alot of nothing, had lots of stupid camera angles, and was in general a pointless show without a plot.
I'm sure I would have enjoyed Bakemonogari a lot more if I understood the wordplays. SHAFT did themselves a disservice with the seizure image flashes and the live action cut-scenes, so I was quite annoyed by it.

I can't answer you really, so.
No.
Just no.
Oh an Kizumonogatari got greenlighted for animation. I'd personally prefer nisemonogatari, but that's just me.

Blu-ray helped, and the image flashes with text was essential in getting across how the original novels felt. Like I mentioned to Southlight, I find it surprising that Zaregoto, a series much easier to animate, has yet to be taken up for animation.

More like words failed me as to how someone can call Bake a show without a plot.

Explain to me the plot the show had. The entire show was about talking about nothing, confusing stuff about Kanji that non-Japanese speakers would never understand, and suplexing lolis.
Or, like Rakkyo, it focuses heavily on the normal and the abnormal, the boundaries of the two, and the individual struggle of the characters. If you define a plot by a story having a defined purpose, like those old RPGs, then you might be able to say that there is no plot. However, each character arc has a plot of its own, and they are all connected thematically to form an overarching plot.
Gahara-san's arc showed us the abnormality of Araragi and introduced us to the concept of the abnormal. From the initial look, we'd think that it is just a case of the helpless normal folks preyed upon by the supernatural, but that is not the case., as we see when the arc ended and the explanation of how Gahara lost her weight. Hachikuji's story is much weaker, but again it reminds us the whole mentality we have by jumping to the conclusion that normal people are victimized by the abnormal beings. It also provides us with the first glimpse of what things can be like from the perspective of the abnormal. Similar ideas with Suruga, but here we start to get a better picture of what Araragi is like, paving the way both into kizu and nisemonogatari. Nadeko arc showed us the case of someone just victimized while further developing Araragi, and Hanekawa's story was something that explores those who live on the borderline of normal and abnormal, as well as the strength it takes to persist in walking down a certain path. The characters also fit particularly well into that, with Araragi taking upon the role of Shino upon the latter's departure from the town, Gahara-san's determination to regain what she has lost, or rather, wished away in her weakness. Hanekawa facing the reality that she has to put up with rather than running away, etc.
In all, if you can't stomach the style, that's that. Nishio Ishin's style is not exactly one that everyone likes and Shaft's adaptation can't have pleased everyone. But you can't really deny the fact that each story in bake has a plot in itself that ranges from average to excellent. They also connect extremely well into the sequels and prequels, but since you don't really have a chance to see kizumonogatari for a long time, well you'll just have to take my words for it.
