@Lyi And hopefully the franchise can do a little better too. I’m still holding out hope, and it’s still a lot better than Macross 7…

There's nothing wrong with a filler here and there, but the most recent episode was pretty dismal. Surely the people who brought us <em>Vision of Escaflowne</em> can do better than this!

@Shin what sad times we live in when a dominatrix is less sexy than a carrot. That said, I am amazed by anime fans’ vast array of perversions. Take you, for instance :D

First of all it was "I wish I could quit you".  ;) Second of all I agree with you on how fanservice isn't just related to sex, it can equally be related to other things. Much like how the mascot cat-suit in Azumanga Daioh is fanservice, or the way the close ups of the cool gadgets of the Mach-5 are fanservice in Speed Racer. Pretty much a carrot suit with a moe character wearing it would be fanservice. “but as a famous cowboy once said, I can’t quit you.”

Sheryl has kind of iridescent hair on big budget days, but just crappy two-tone hair on other days. @IKnight I’d be perfectly happy if they cut the battle episodes just a bit in order to make these a little more watchable.
