Started watching Devil Survivor 2. I'm up to episode 6 now. I haven't played this particular game, but i'm enjoying the show so far. It's definitly different from the Megumi Tensei's I've played. I'll give a better synopsis once i catch up to this weeks episode.
Maybe if you shut up and stop over analyzing everything you just might get it........

I haven't watched Jo in ages but the image of Eva-01 lifting the cannon has stuck with me to this day, and is the crowning moment I recall when I think of the film.
Really beautiful, i honestly have no idea why i haven't watched Rebuild before.

Why'd it take this long?

I had to watch one anime series to ease my stress from the studies. :D

So my medicine was Baccano!

Underrated masterpiece that has everything, for me: superb characters, "complex" story, and different settings compared to the typical modern day anime's.

And DAT JAZZ.

G Gundam was pretty okay, I don't really have much to say about it. Watching Macross Zero now and Turn A after that.

Don't worry Dream, you're not the only one.
I didn't watch New Theatrical Edition until early last year, and I've been Eva obsessed since seeing it for the first time back in the late 90s...

Don't know how that happened, hehe.

:chinscratch:

Anyway, I look forward to your thoughts on 2.0 and Q.

Okay, I know I post in here a lot, but I juggle series' a lot.

I like to live dangerously.


I've started on Uchuu Kyodai (or Space Brothers). It's really good. The animation is excellent, and it blends the best of drama and comedy. The story is that of a man who, as a child, aspired to be an astronaut with his younger brother. The younger brother make his dream a reality, but the old brother does not. After getting fired from his job and blacklisted from the industry, the older brother decides to become an astronaut, too.

Only problem, really, with Space Brothers is that it moves really, really slowly. Especially later on, when there's mini recaps in every episode, even in recap episodes. Still a good show, at least as a week-to-week watcher.

Finished Macross Zero. It was pretty, and Sara's song was very nice. I did not care for the CGI at all.

I started Turn A Gundam and I love it.

I also started Valvrave again. It's still awful and Shoko is still the best because space makes autism kawaii.

Nope.

I'm loving it. It's gotten progressively better by the episode. It's the only of the three that I'm really looking forward and feels like a real mecha show.

Right? I like Gargantia and Valvrave is ok, but I'm actually enjoying MJP more than both of them, I like how team rabbit started off as the fail five.

Rin and them lollipops :heart:.
I like Kei, her mech has a unique role and Tamaki is annoying but she has that Gainax bounce :lol:.

I haven't watched much since I got back from college, I have a really inconsistent internet connection with a slow download.

I gotta say, the end of 1.11 is probably why I went and watched the rest of the series. I had never heard of Evangelion before, but happened to see 1.11 when they played it on Toonami. The tension and everything else during the last 20 minutes or so is why I had to watch 2.22 online the next day, which led to me watching everything else over two days.
