omg in the forum it looks like the smoke from that guy's cigarette is moving =D

... by the way, what was your previous name? lol. I just realized who you were, but I can't think of your last name for the life of me. Terrible short term memory.

And how about that 00-dumplage? What a horrible sequel. I'm pretty sure I'm done with following modern Sunrise for awhile, after I finish 00-2. I'll keep an eye out on the Gundam 30th anniversay thing, whatever it'll be, but I'm not too optimistic about it at this point. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's CG-R2 all over again, but it's still a downright disappointment (pretty much unredeemable at this point I'd say)... I think rah-rah had a really good point when we talked about it awhile ago... in season one you could tell the plot/world/ideals was more of the focus, with character development second. Regardless of that, everything developed smoothly, you still cared for some of the characters and knew them, etc. Now with 00-2, they've shifted the development solely to the characters... the plot never feels like it's going anywhere, all the characters REAL development apparently happens in the background/stories from what I hear (how lame is that?)... etc, it's just a mess.

I mean shit, when I smile whenever I see Nena pop up on the screen, that's just sad, considering I hated her last season.

They really fucked up with Mr. Bushido also. Graham was definitely one of my favorite characters last season, what a way to handle his alter-ego. Yeah, Graham died. And who's the main character!? lol... =_=

Stop splitting your series Sunrise!

I would say more, but I see you're not totally caught up. Let's just say, they "appear" to be bringing in even more previous Gundam cliche's, which just makes me hate it even more. Yeah, way to ruin the 00 world by stripping it's originality.

I saw your comment on Cihan's profile about Votoms, I'll just say, don't be too quick to judge it. At least for me, the pacing was a little slow at first but it does end up really being one of those shows that feels like an adventure (if that makes sense. I know it' sa weird comparison, but Turn A kind of fits in my "adventure-esque" list of shows too... the payoff is incredible. It's also broken up into 4 major arcs in different locales, with a lot of different themes and vibes to them. Lots of people seem to love the second arc in Kumman, a jungle area. Shit does hit the fan in this one and you end up meeting Chirico's rival, Ypsilon.

Upon rewatching the first episode of Votoms a few days ago, I was kind of ... speechless at how out of character Chirico actually seemed, seriously. He's a character that doesn't ... show a lot of character for the most part, but it's handled really well. He's probably one of the best untalkative characters in anything I've seen.

Votoms also has by far one of the best endings I've ever seen, it's way over the top and just full of "holy shit" moments in the last arc.

Knowing your tastes a bit and how you can appreciate old stuff, I think you'll definitely like it! Another one of those shows like LOGH that really makes a man out of its watchers... heh.

Thanks, its the best way to start the viewing experience I think, the transition from the movie to the OVA is seamless.

I see you started Votoms, another mega-sci-fi series on my To Watch list. Hope it lives up to the hype too!

Brethren before wenches!

*raises fist*

Thanks. :)

I'm sorry to bother you, but I saw you mention "Eden: It's an Endless World!" on KakashiGaiden's profile and I've been looking for it. Do you download it, buy it, or do you know a manga reader/streamer that carries it?

I totally love that "Brethren Before Wenches" graphic.

I'll definitely give it a try then, cuz it sounds like something that might be pretty good.

And Brethren before Wenches indeed xD

Maaaan Gantz is so good. I really need to find another one like it. Sci-fi + Badass = Epic Manga.

I might give Eden a try some time :)

Haha, yeah I want to rewatch the whole thing again already. Wish CA was a little faster with the DVD remastered episodes, but whatev.

Yang's Gaiden is a bit different though ... the animation is a lot more cel-ish, like later 90's shows. Doesn't really seem to have that classic look most of LOGH had, that and Yang has a different VA. I'm sure it's still great though, but I imagine Reinhard's past was probably more interesting.
