i don't recall seeing Kurumu's mom shooting beams from her tits when she made her appearance in the manga. how far is the show deviating from the manga?

Nooo! What the hell have they done? Laser boobs, she's a succubus. They took an awesome manga and ruin it, missing the majority of the really good parts out. And the season 1 finale Ah! Ruined. Sorry for venting, it's just this series would be so freaking epic, if they stayed closer to the manga.
The manga already feels like an anime, with an entire chapter as long as an anime episode, not to mention the second half of the manga being called "Season II".
I like what Gonzo did to the anime version, it keeps things fresh and you don't know what will happen next (unlike the formulaic Tales of the Abyss anime and manga, which follow the source material by the letter, so I already know what happens in the end [but I still like it anyway]). I just wanted to see Moka and the rest in anime form, and Gonzo keeps me lol'ing while I do.
wow that's the first time i've heard someone say it was a good that an anime isn't following it's manga counterpart. but i have to disagree with you though on claiming the manga is similar to the anime in it's chapters. the lay out of the chapters have a linking story line between them, sometimes occasionally leaving a cliffhanger ending for them. while the anime is more along the lines of "monster of the week" or "how long Moka takes to win a fight" sort of thing. those kind of things just killed the anime, along with the notion that it has to be only about fanservice, and no real emotion shown from the characters. plus it's not fun to canonically throw a story off balance like they did with this series either.

Stop right there. I didn't say that the R+V manga is similar to the R+V anime. I'm saying that reading an R+V manga chapter is almost like watching a full anime episode.
Take this as an example: For Bleach the number of manga chapters it takes to make one Bleach anime episode is about 3-4. But for R+V, if the anime were to be truly faithful to the manga, an episode equals an entire chapter.
This is evident for the very first episode of R+V season 1. It covers Chapter 1 of the R+V manga entirely.
