From the Bestiary alone, you have:
Chuul
Froghemoth
Medusa
Mimic
Ochre Jelly
Otyugh
Roper
Shambling Mound
Shoggoth (duh!)
Vargouille
Violet Fungus
Yellow Musk Creeper / Zombie
Any of these creatures have a direction you're shooting for in your anime inspired game? I have a bunch of books sitting around here to pull from.

One thing I have to warn you is that anime freaks are very likely going to be expecting more out of the melee classes, at least if their anything like the anime freaks I know.
Just be prepared to be asked why they can't do X and how to do Y and be ready to do somehomebrew is all the advice I have for you ^^

Most of the players in my group are veterans of 3.5 and Pathfinder, so they know what to expect. The only complaint I get is that I have so far disallowed ninjas because they dodn't fit with the flavor I have been going for. However, the new campaign most likely will allow them.

I've played Exalted recently and I admit I wasn't a fan of the mechanics. I'm not exactly the type of guy that carries around 80d6.

A few other classic D&D tentacled creatures I didn't see mentioned above (though I may have missed them):
carrion crawler
grell
mohrg
flumph!
As a slight variation, you could take the chain devil and replace its chains with tentacles.
If you are looking for naughty tentacles, then as the OOTS cartoon suggested, the black tentacles (or a variant thereof) is a good foundation, as is the entangle spell. There might also be something in the Book of Erotic Fantasy on the subject.
Then you could always introduce oozes whose acid is particularly efficacious on garments....

lol, you couldn't know it, but one of my players has an absolute hatred of grell after getting used as a rope in a grell tug of war during a foray into Undermountain.

Off topic, have you considered re-flavoring the Ninja with the more arabic Hashhashin? Same idea, different flavor, and arabic stuff works better with medieval settings more than oriental does.
