True Tears? What happened to your inner curmudgeon? (Sorry for not being fluent in your viewing habits!)

Yeah Chirico definitely seems like an interesting character. These other characters are pretty goofy too, the girl and the afro guy (can't think of their names).

I hope that you managed to enjoy Manabi Straight, be it for the political area, the character interactions, even the character designs if that's what works for you. :P

I guess I totally lied about Turn A not giving me that "urge to marathon" a batch of episodes, because I definitely watched like 10 or so today, haha...
I think it's official, I'd go gay for Harry.

Haha, Harry's yellow striped shirt at that one party when he first meets "Laura" was hilarious. Can't wait to see more of his outfits...
Chirico definitely seems awesome, I always heard from /m/ that he's basically Rambo and I can definitely see that.
Oh and just noticed that's what your forum avatar is from, heh.

I've been enjoying Turn A quite a bit, but it hasn't really given me the urge to marathon a chunk of episodes yet or anything (but I guess that's not always a bad thing). The last few episodes I just watched though, 16-18 really seemed to pick up the pace - things are really getting intense now and whatnot. I really have no complaints and I suspect I'll come to like it even more in due time, since I sometimes hear it gets better later on (maybe I'm at that point now? lol). Oh and Harry = Epic, I hear something about "UNIVERSE" ... I don't know, whatever the heck it is it sounds like he gets really crazy later on. And I'm dying to see just how powerful the Turn A Gundam gets, since I often hear it's supposedly the most powerful Gundam in the whole franchise.
The music is really amazing, I'd expect no less from Yoko Kanno. Even though the show has some obvious Tomino idea's, I like how it's really original compared to pretty much every other Gundam. I'm not sure if I really like Loran all that much, but he's not bad either, just very ... effeminate I guess I could say. Ord, Sochie, and Soriel Dianna I all really like so far.
Votoms is really good so far too. It also seems like something that might not pull you in instantly, but I think I'm really going to enjoy the series. Pretty heavy on the sci-fi and the atmosphere, very dark, etc, the music is really good, and I've been impressed with the art. So far not a whole lot has happened (still just getting into it I guess), but it kind of has a weird Mad Max feel to it at times, lol. Well, basically the hype definitely hasn't let me down on this one so far.
Oh and LOGH is absolutely breathtaking. It's definitely going to be in my top 5 eventually,I have no complaints whatsoever with it and it's pretty much everything I had hoped for.

I just read an interview with Goro Taniguchi that I thought you would find interesting. In particular, he notes that two episodes were cut from season 1 of Geass because of their religious content (a shame) and complains about the way he was screwed about with the TV timeslots in Japan between R1 and R2 (which presumably impacts on what he originally wanted to say with Geass). It's a very revealing insight into the way he's dealing with the show, especially liked his comment towards the end of the article on Suzaku (probably my favorite character in the show) [Interview] [Further comment]

I just finished Legend of the Galactic Heroes! *SNIFF!*
Let me know when you finish it so we can discuss the series!! =)

Well I just watched the first two episodes of LoGH itself, I think the movie still happens beforehand. Not a whole lot happens though really, I think the main point of the film was that it just introduces you to Yang and Reinhard being their first encounter with one another.
Definitely not the expert on that, but yeah for the most part it seemed to basically be a prequel to set you up for the series.
This'll be one heck of an adventure. I'm liking Yang a lot so far, but the Empire seems cool themselves. Everything about the show does I guess!

well im doing a stupid thing which i bragged to all my friends about...which is to watch all the gundam franchise in its chronological timeline starting with the UC and im just now im up to zeta and im finding that while char and bright really make the shows...the hero is something you cant just casually make
amuro...while seeming like a shounen hero was much better than kamille is at this point
although the fact that kamille gets slapped in damn near every episode is a definite plus

I took some random recommendation from /m2/ (while 4chan was down for awhile) and watched LOGH: My Conquest is the Sea of Stars to setup the full story. It was completely ... epic. The atmosphere and art really won me over and I liked how the sci-fi designs seemed a little different compared to a lot of older stuff. Weird stuff I seem to notice, lol.
I think it's safe to say I'm really truly am going to enjoy the series, a lot.

Hmm... I didn't know such a logical fallacy existed. I guess my argument wasn't necessarily an appeal to novelty, because I don't think novel things are always good. I think it's good to try new things sometimes, rather than just sticking with the old. It's like a civilization living in just a small area, and never going out to explore the world around them.
It's not just the unoriginal ideas and conventions I don't like, it's also the degeneration of effort that comes with them.
Big eyes do have an appeal, but only to a certain extent, and only to a certain market. With most anime, the style seems to hover somewhere in-between realism and absurdism, due to realistic bodies and unrealistic faces.
Yeah I totally agree with you about generalizations. I think that sometimes they're necessary.
And thanks for approving of my Nausicaa review. Just a year ago I thought the movie was perfect, but after thinking about dialog a bit, and watching some classic movies I came to the realization that some of the dialog was unneeded. I guess it's expected, since it was an adaption from the manga, where it's not uncommon that characters narrate for the reader's convenience.
I've been hearing a lot about this manga. Some comic book fans (here in the U.S.) who don't usually read manga, say that it's the best comic book they've ever read, and the most mature one to boot.
Apparently the movie is an adaption of the first two volumes, while there's six volumes in total. I wish someday that the other four are adapted into films.

Hey, people have been saying my arguments in my anime videos suffer from faulty generalizations and an appeal for novelty. I'd like to know what you think on the matter.
I don't see what's wrong with novelty.

I also disagree with him with that notion. I believe that good stories do change over time, I think it really depends on a lot of things, like culture and knowledge. Kinda like how some jokes don't age well because people forget who or what they're referencing. Although movies probably take a lot longer to grow old.
P.S. I just posted a youtube review of Nausicaa.
