My Grading System
A lot of my grading is just done on foppery and whim.. I also have a tendency to drop a series if I don't find it entertaining within the first few episodes, so below average scores are rare for something that I've watched all the way through.. With that in mind I'll keep things short and simple!
10 - Almost perfect and I could see future re-watches being just as enjoyable!
9 - Excellent series that may make one or two small mistakes along the way.
8 - Above average series.
7 - A series that was average, but still entertaining.
6 - Barley escaped being dropped.. But still must have some entertainment value if I finished it.
5 and below - Garbage.. The series must've taken a major nose-dive somewhere.

They're all amazing, watch them in release date order. It's amazing how the director could make new installments of the series 20 years later that still captures the vibe perfectly.
The only ones I don't like are the awful spinoffs, Irvine and Finder. Mellowlink on the other hand was amazing so I definitely recommend that one.
Yep. It might be a strange recommendation for you, but I think Fushigi Yuugi had the second best villain I saw last year next to Lecoque. Just like Lecoque he was one that for the most part did not get his own hands dirty, but toyed with everyone else around him. Love villains like this.
Glad you liked Dougram though! Vifam or Tekkaman Blade? I'd say you can't go wrong with either. But it's easy to say Blade is darker and more grim, so if you want something more serious that might the choice for now. And like always you've seen mean say Vifam has some nice Ryvius comparisons... so yeah can't go wrong with either.
Man am I glad I got all those Dragon Boxes when I could... they sure spiked up in price pretty quickly. I was almost tempted to buy another one or two to hold onto for awhile and try to make some profit selling them back, lol.
Yeah I guess some people like it or dislike it for different reasons; I couldn't get into it myself so that's why I was asking. But I don't like Jazz and the western atmosphere all that much, the characters didn't stick as excessively good either to me, they're not really my kind of characters. Spike was ok in that he had a great backstory but the character himself didn't click that much for me.
To each their own I guess, I can see why most would like it though.
They certainly have material for a continuation, they had plans for season 2 such as Jeremiah's sister being a dead look alike for Lelouch and Suzaku being linked to Geass, but those plans were changed so they could use these early ideas and incorporate them into season 3. My instincts tell me they're gonna go with a new seperate series but considering they are still characters like Nunnally, Kallen, Suzaku and so many others that I like, I'm hoping for a third season anyway.
Yeah when a series doesn't grab you it's hard to stick with it but they are shows who do a 180 during their course and I like to finish everything I start to. For example; I'd have dropped Darker Than Black based on the first 10 episodes but if I had done that I would have missed out on what becomes an amazing series.
I thought most of the characters in Code Geass were solid and enjoyable so I don't mind more even without Lelouch, if it's the same director and with their ability to make great characters, I see some awesome yet different mecha shows being made.
Oh, you changed you're profile. Yeah I can relate to not wanting to finish something that is 5 or less but if I didn't I wouldn't be a able to call them for the garbage that they are with absolute certainty lol.
Right now there just releasing a few OVAs, they probably will be good but nothing to be too excited about. It seems Sunrise is going the same way with Geass as they did with Gundam, a 50 epiisode anime followed by side stories OVAs. My prediction is later on we'll have a new series of 50 episodes that will either follow up on the current one or be set in an alternate universe. TBH I'm glad Sunrise decided to make Geass the next Gundam; because I personally find it better than the Gundam franchise, even though both are good.
Seed as really gotten better since it started. I like the characters so far and the story/action and pace seem to be doing fine.
As I watch the Gundam series I realize why Code Geass was such a hit, Sunrise took the best of it's past series and put it into one show with an anmazing director.
Yeah Scrapped Princess was a unique show, during the first 3 episodes I was like "Ok this isn't so bad but..." then episode 4 threw me off. Great story, great plot twist and Mecha in Middle-Ages = win lol. The Peacemakers make their appearance in around episode 4 and they're some of the best villains in anime. Like Code Geass the ending alone makes the show worth it, as soon as it hits episode 20 it went even more crazy then before.
Claymore, a female and male lead, the male is the annoying weakling brat, go figure lol.
Lol, found some trailers that might help you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0NwbDAZz5Q
The girl is the main character and the guy with the sword's her brother, he get as much screen time and controls the Mecha like thing (don't ask it's weird). Yeah, they are Mechas of sort in it they just didn't show them.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYkSVXhKwb0
Again, a group of three, the two guys pilot quick ass mechas and protect the girl, I'd tell you why but it would ruin the show lol.
RahXephon, is it really that great, I heard it was like Evangelion which I found average.
They're from the same producers, but that's it haha. No relation whatsoever. But pretty comparable stuff, power armor shows that aren't quite full on mecha, but definitely have the vibes and all. I personally like Tekkaman Blade a little more than Casshern Sins, it's a bit more straightforward and to the point, not as artistic, but yeah both are great. I'd really love to see Tekkaman get a reboot like Sins.
Yeah rule of thumb for MAL, always copy your posts before submitting. Lots of us have gotten used to doing that around here... so much lag and crap sometimes.
"Yeah I plan on checking out Tekkaman Blade ever since I finished up Casshern Sins.. I thought Bryking Boss was a interesting character in Casshern Sins even if he got little screen time and I'm interested in his past which I hear is shown quite a bit in Tekkaman Blade."
Huh? lol, Casshern Sins and Tekkaman Blade don't tie in at all.
Yeah Julian's growth was really amazing, in a way it almost feels like he could kind of be the main character, or who the series wanted the viewer to connect with perhaps. Great stuff.
Ikumi is the one character that throws me over the edge the most, both times I've seen the series so far. He just completely loses it towards the end there, was ready to shoot... jeeze. I kind of believe Kouji's indecisiveness is his strength. Whereas every other single character fell to other ideals or lost themselves in the conflict, Kouji remained himself through the whole thing.
Lucson and Charlie are awesome, haha, love the VA's in Japanese.
Yeah Scrapped Princess as a female lead, but they're a group so you got her brother as a collected strong warrior who gains mecha like abilities. The main character isn't whimpy or annoying like Sakura in Sakura Wars but she's not exactly a fighter either.
