[...] Well… let’s not get carried away. I mean… are there robots involved? This affects my answer. I suppose I did caption that image “Fuck yes,” but really that picture was just enabling some fine-ass Kabitzin punnery. [...]

Yup, you can count on me (somewhat) to deliver the lolis!

Oh my god.

So I just watched Detroit Metal City…like three times in a row.

OK I have an ugly, ugly confession to make. Yep. Never saw it. Dunno why. Just… didn’t.

People are talking about Tytania because it’s from the same original author and same director as that classic of classic anime space operas, Legend of Galactic Heroes.

I think LoGH is better than Star Wars (and that Iserlohn Fortress is infinitely cooler than the Death Star, despite being a blatant rip-off of it, kind of), so, yeah.

@coburn: *gasp* but it’s Artland!

Though I know nothing of Artland.

I’m a firm proponent of the wait for other people to tell me what rocks approach (which tends to mean no adaptations, fanservice, pedophilia). Though I’ve not seen any of the bad GAINAX productions so that’s one cert.

Personally I find posts like this more digestible than full on season previews, because they help me to skip over the gay vampire sports icons. People seem to be talking about Tytania though.

OGT, I can’t think about it if you’re EATING MY BRAIN.

lelangir, Ugly Yet Beautiful does not count. It was indeed a suck-fest. I mean, horrible. I can’t say enough bad about it. If you look hard enough, you’ll find a horrible review of that piece of crap on this very site.

But Gainax, despite their notorious problem with endings and budget management, has done far more good than bad – Nadia, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Otaku No Video, Gunbuster, Mahoromatic (from what I hear, still need to catch up with those 2), and some truly transcendent stuff: Wings of Honneamise, FLCL, Evangelion, and Gurren Lagann. And blah blah blah. That’s an excellent track record, and for my money they’re still the otaku’s otaku’s studio. Or something like that.

Kabitzin — I sincerely hope married life is going well (unless it hasn’t happened yet, in that case post-date my sentiments). I also want you to know, I’m on the phone with the pope and he’s putting the paperwork through now to have your wife canonized.

Looks like the plot just cost that one girl an arm and a leg!

Dude I am so watching Gundam 00!

But seriously, I too am going to be viewing the proverbial Ef, Clannad and Xam’d. So that, with G00 makes it my fall quartet. Kannagi is probably the next up for possible shows.

Gainax…”This beautiful yet ugly world” I heard sucked massively so…yeah. I’m hesitant. Mind rape anime is never my first choice.
