As for unseen characters there's also this loli

The text is terrifying mumbojumbo and I have no idea wtf "Noumundusu" is supposed to be so I'm willing to leave this one for symbv to get specific translation... anyway, she's called the Chairman and fittingly enough she build Pharos, the guys who keep the whole Vox operating business going on. Commands considerable influence, has the right to decide bla bla bla. Under the innocent surface unbeliavably arrogant personality and way of speaking are her characteristics.

Novamundus, the organization which owns the Vox. They can't pronounce it worth a shit (and I think they romanize it as "Novumundus" in show) but it should be pretty obvious by allusion that they're just one more "renew the world by means of robopilots" paramilitary gang.

*Pokes head into this thread* What is this series? Seems mech-ish and no one will stop talking about it like that Sacred Seven or Star Diver stuff.

The three main pilots are female, two of the six episodes that have aired so far did not have action in it, and there are no monsters are in it. So it may not be up your alley TDSA.

So what makes this anime so good that there is more discussion on it over Aquarion Evol? I already haven't seen some of those fancy pants new mecha anime you guys have talked about since I came here and I don't want to feel left out.

I think it is because more people here are watching it than Evol, even Symbv is watching it and he usually does not watch mecha titles, as to why more people are watching it I’m not sure perhaps it’s because its different than your average mecha? I find it interesting because it is different to have a female as the main pilot, and I want to see what happens to the boy band in the end. If you want to watch it TDSA by all means watch it we are just saying that you may end up not liking it.

Hmm.... Welp, looks like I found the next episode of TDSA Takes on X, the X in this case being Lagrange: The Flower of Rinne! (or however it is translated)

See Soul? I can post unrelated expression images too. You have my approval!

Although in all seriousness, why the disapproval?

Maybe I'll check this one out. So far in your opinions how good is this?

Probably the best show of the season, at least out of those I watched. 7/10 or so (although less if you can't handle the colossal amount of corporate shillage)

On my current season ranking (I tend to cherry-pick titles):

1st Another
2nd Nisemonogatari
3rd Moretsu Pirates
4th Lagrange

With the exception of the credits, there's no sign of a Nissan emblem in any of the 6 episodes (except for their cars making cameo appearances). Furthermore the show also serves as Kamogawa's official promotion as a local tourist destination (a low-cost alternative to Okinawa).

Otherwise Megu's OP/ED songs are a consolation.

That energy drink last episode is a real drink jsyk. and yeah the constant namedropping of Kamogawa is also part of what i was referring to

ep01 of Mouretsu was dropped-on-the-spot material; i might give it another look later, but probably not. Another I haven't bothered to look at. I actually also dropped NMG, mostly because the amount of fuck i can give about anime at once is not large and two shows is already pushing it. and Aquarion is pretty funny and certainly better than the first one so far, but it sucks compared to Rinne.

TDSA takes on episode 1 of Rhinos say no to Lagann!........ Wait, that isn't the title, but who gives a f**k! My reactions as I watched this:

First minute: Looks like this will rip off Fafner.

Opening theme: HOLY CRAP THAT ANIMATION IS GOOD! The music is okay, but HOLY CRAP!

First half: Nothing happening (people like stuff like this?), nothing, nothing, Eureka clone, nothing, nothing, DID SHE JUST PULL HER UNDERPANTS DOWN!?, nothing, nothing

Second half starts: Wow, nice moon scenery! And aliens! Is that base TERRA's base from RahXephon or that island city from Detonator Orgun? Okay, variable fighters are NOT THAT SKINNY!

Action begins: I can't tell, are they ripping of anti spirals or zeravire? Demotorios? What kind of name is that? Look! I have a shield that reflects lazorz! What kind of a name is Array? YOU'RE LETTING A CIVILIAN THAT JUST CAME ONT THE BASE TO PILOT YOUR WAR MACHINE!? WHAT. THE. HELL!?

Good mech vs. bad mech: Look I'm going to ram! Wait, DAT SHIELD! *transforms* Look! I'm breaking da shi- PUNT B**CH! O RLY? Choke slam!

Credits role: Oh great their ripping off Diebuster's opening.

And those are my first thoughts on this series. Stay tune next time for episode 2! You have my approval!

When you spend most of your time watching stuff that wasn't new when you were born, the technological step-change to freshly-minted animation is bound to be a shock.

ahh, right

the fuck is up with loli chairmans in anime anyway. Just in this season first EVOL does it and Lagrange follows.

Granted EVOL justified itself by bringing MOTHERFUCKING TANGE SAKURA to voice Crea but that still doesn't change the fact generally loli chairmans are shit characters

Funny, reverse positions of Rinne and Aquarion and it would be my assesment on season's titles so far

So yeah.... I'm gonna be following this semi-ripping-off-Obari series with you guys like I am with Gundam AGE and Aquarion EVOL. And what is this talk about loli chairmen or whatever?
