Yeah, I guess those are the only options...to be honest I don't go out of my way to watch something that is deemed horrible, even out of curiosity, but I'm just going to have to accept the fact that I will eventually come across something I hate, even in a series that was good for its first 22 episodes.
Anyway, I'll do what Anno says and watch 30 and 31. One last question before I do though. When I begin to watch episode 30, is there really anything I need to know in terms of previous episodes(23-29) to fully understand it, or can I just take the fact that Grandis men having a competition is just a dream?
Edit: Nvm, I just realized what I just said.
