That's weird. But also kind of neat; shows his versatility in genres. Still doesn't make me want to watch Love Hina though lol.

I can see some Genocyber as well. That name thing is pretty weird. I doubt we'll ever figure out why that is, but it's fun piecing together everything he worked on. Also, he wrote on LOVE HINA WTF?!

Speaking of uber-violent anime, you just completed Shoujo Tsubaki; isn't that the anime that one guy made because he couldn't get a studio to do it?

You crazy

Damn! Finishing 2 anime in 1 day!

It's funny you mention you mention his OVA days, because Aikawa previously collaborated with Hirano on Dangaioh, Zeorymer and the OG Vampire Princess Miyu OVA's. Heck, Rouran credits him as "Noburo Aikawa", the name he used for most of the 80's to 90's ). So in that regard, Rouran could be seen as one last hurrah to those OVA days. I can certainly see the Iczer comparison, mostly in Rouran's design. The character designer also did the designs for Slayers, so I can see some of that too.

That is one interesting article. Definitely long, but what I've read so far is really damn cool. The sekaiki description seems to fit Rouran thus far pretty damn well.

Yo man, started watching Kikou Sennyo Rouran and it is pretty friggin weird. Even for Aikawa this seems pretty damn out there. Giant robots fighting occult monsters with conspiracies and out-there concepts galore. It's gonna be an interesting ride though, I'm certain of that.

Is //sign the only .hack anime worth watching? If not, which would you recommend?

What did you think about it?

I had to be honest.
While you had issues with MHA I had issues with Food Wars LOL

Comedy gold here:

I'm. Fucking. Done. With new anime. Recently I watched In This Corner in the World...WAY better than all the new anime I've been watching when I started seasonal anime in 2016.
So I'm sticking to older stuff.

Damn. To be 2 years YOUNGER than me you sure have a deeper voice lol.

Nice Vids Man. I Really liked you BNHA Analysis Video "I Used to Like MHA". I Realize someof the Faults by Studio Bones but For a Shonen It isn't that bad. The Manga Covers things a bit better and IMO The art is WAY BETTER. I reccommend you go read it. If you want to start where the anime ended in Season 2 Start from Chapter 70 of the manga. The parts after S3 get way darker in themes so You might like it more.

How was winter, and how's the current spring season for anime?

You're better off not watching it. Ever. Honestly, I haven't seen Outlaw Star but comparing it to Daybreak is an insult to Outlaw Star. It was a weird, sort of prototype for Eureka Seven based on a video game. Except none of the characters were as interesting, the mechs looked like underwater Patlabors, and it probably has the single worst character writing I've ever seen. You know how it is when a character speaks in really clunky exposition but you're okay with it because, hey, it's exposition I can live with it? Imagine an entire show where 95% of the dialogue is like that. That's honestly why I rate it so low; it's not any lower because the show at least looked nice, had a fairly decent plot, and some alright stand alone episodes. But yeah, I would not recommend. Only memorable thing was that there was a dolphin in a robot suit, that was neat.

That's certainly true; you've liked Enokido & Igurashi's other shows so you may enjoy Captain Earth. And that is a pretty strange coincidence with the OP's. All I knew about Captain Earth's OP before was that the song was really dope. I do fully expect you to get something worthwhile out of it; and hopefully the same with me when I get around to it. Plus, it's a Bones mecha; when are those not kind of nutty? I'll tell you when: Mars Daybreak. And it sucked for it.
