As far as the catgirl suggestions are concerned: Ehh, not much fetish stuff is my field of expertise, but I guess Asobi ni Ikuyo! (catgirl aliens + girls with guns; I haven't seen much of it but I've heard mixed things) would fit your expectations. The episodes I saw still did have a lot of comedy, so hey.
Also, I wanted to just remind everyone of something.

...we move on to the part of offering suggestions to particular users which is simpler if you do something that includes:
- Try to break up certain aspects of your suggestion list by grouping similar anime together or, if they're after multiple genre requests, group them into their respective labels.
Some people prefer being able to organise their plan-to-watch lists by watching one genre type at a time. - Possibly give your own short take on the anime titles which doesn't have to be much, even a few words is better than nothing at all.
- Take into consideration of which anime they've listed as already seen or the comparative title they're after.
- Offer a few anime titles at a time, even if they are the OVA of the same named anime title as most people might skip OVA, OAD or movies since they didn't know about them.
What I'm trying to get at by quoting the OP here is to
not leave a list of "this is stuff I like go watch this now". We're supposed to be fulfilling search criteria from a poster, not just...offering blanket suggestions. There are guides on many websites for titles major anime fans
should watch to just be in the know, so doing things like quoting those here does not help anyone (maybe adding lists like those to the OP would help).
Similarly, this is not a thread to just throw down titles you might like without any rhyme or reason. It makes the flow of the thread even more awkward, especially when you don't explain the reasoning for throwing down these titles.
Finally, at least pay attention to certain things when making suggestions. Like, if you have a request arranged like this:
Request wrote:
I watched and liked Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and Black Lagoon. Where should I go next?
A good response would be the following:

I would suggest both seasons of Jormungand (Jormungand and Jormungand Perfect Order). They have a heavy focus on action, deal with bouts of moral ambiguity, feel very different from most other action anime, and have a mature look and feel to them. The emphasis on gunplay in its action make it more similar to Bebop and Black Lagoon compared to Champloo, but the fight choreography is still there and rather intense.
A mediocre response would be the following:
Suggestion wrote:
Watch Jormungand! It's full of action and Koko is a badass. 
A bad response would be the following:
Suggestion wrote:
Watch Jormungand Koko is my waifu 
An off-kilter response would be:

Um...Eureka Seven has action and nice animation, maybe check that out?
Notice that offering a more detailed suggestion would be able to possibly highlight elements of the show that people liked. It's a matter of
finding plenty of similarities between titles, whether that'd be tonally, plot-wise, character-wise, animation-quality-wise, and so on. Generally, the more things two shows have in common while still being their own thing,
the better the suggestion is. If they ask about a show you don't know about and don't provide detail on what they liked about it, do some research. Reading a plot synopsis/reviews on sites like Anime News Network or MAL generally can aid in making better suggestions.
tl;dr: Use your heads when making suggestions. It makes it much easier on the requester.

other maybe? :3
