Simon needs to go into rage mode more often. If he does, this series will win!

Yoko is def hot. I really don't want her to fall for Kamina though. :(

YOKO <3

Also Kamina got quite GAR there, I feel his full epicness has not yet been shown.

You should at least watch the third episode for the 'combination' scene. That was utterly hilarious.

Watched the first 2 episodes this morning because I keep hearing so much about this series. It was ok... Kamina is definitely cool. I will watch more to see if it gets better... but for now, it's getting a 7 (if it wasn't for Kamina, it would get a 6 =P)

Ah, well definately make sure you watch the next episode. It's what sold the series for me. That's still my favourite episode.

This show reminds me of some kind of FLCL meets Evangelion meets Final Fantasy kind of thing, and that's awesome.

I'm glad to see an enraged!Simon. It's a welcome change. :]

Kamina is... so utterly and completely GAR. His attack names cracked me up. Yoko is pretty cool too. I still have a hard time not laughing when I see the mecha, though. Hopefully they'll either gain proper bodies or I'll get used to it. :P

The only thing I didn't really enjoy was seeing that Kamina's father was already dead. It felt a little too fast for me. Ah well.

Oh hey it's a gay dude! Awesome!
The annoying queen type though.

This has such a lame storyline an even lamer mecha, but somehow I'm just loving it.

Not bad, not bad. It's still holding my interest. It makes me laugh anyway, which is always a good thing. Nothing wrong with a bit of laughter...Well, except at funerals. That's something of a faux pas.

Very entertaining, I love Yoko, I would have to say I'm not too used to the Mechas quite yet. I do wonder where this show will lead to though, besides Yoko, nothing has quite really HIT the spot for me yet :D

Love it... everything from Simon's rage... to Kamina being crazy... and of course Yoko for obvious reasons. The over the top action works so well with this series... and I'm not usually into constant action series... so that says a lot.

Mm I liked it but somehow I'm not sure I can see myself finishing this anime. Though I did feel bad for Kamina, there isn't much that makes me want to continue. Guess I'll watch up until episode 5 or so to see if I get hooked like everyone else~

I think he broke it when he punched one of the enemy mecha. This show is better than I expected it to be, and I expected a lot considering its Gainax...

...I have a feeling that Kamina will land on my favourites list VERY soon xD He's just beyond crazy.

Leeron...oh my GOD, Leeron xD
So far, nothing special enough to call the show epic, but I'll keep watching, as it amuses me.
