And could someone tell me if its worth my time to seek out Ideon? I know it ends with what made Tomino famous, but if its not that good I won't waste my time.
Do you like Evangelion? How about original (UC - Amuro/Char/etc) Gundam? If you like both, you'll probably like Ideon. |

Finished Soul Eater awhile back, it was good until the story fell apart which happened around 40-something. Its really too bad, they had a good framework but there was never much attempt at telling a story within that framework for whatever reason. As if they came up with the concept and the show started airing before they decided what these characters were going to end up doing. Its worth noting that the subs got terrible due to C&D's from Funi, I think by the end they were being translated by ESL Russians or something.

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

Do you like Evangelion? How about original (UC - Amuro/Char/etc) Gundam? If you like both, you'll probably like Ideon. I like the Gundam movies anyhow. Char's Counterattack was a steaming pile of shit. Its like something Joss Whedon would have written. Cept with less quipping. Evangelion was good until the last 2 episodes and movie which it decided to go off the stupid end. Though apparently Ideon at least gives it a happy ending of a sort, as opposed to bleakness. Plus the Ideon is just a kickass fucking robot. Too bad there really aren't any easily available cheap toys of it. Some shitty 80s Tomy toys with ass proportions, ancient model kits which are probably similar. A Yamato toy that's hard to find but probably the only one designed for the nerd on a budget, and then the amazingly awesome o riffic Soul of Chogokin. LOOK AT THIS SEXY BITCH. IT WANTS ME TO WASTE THE BETTER PART OF A PAYCHECK ON IT: http://www.collectiondx.com/review/2007/ideon     Yet the price.. ye gods Japan. Make something normal semi sane nerds can afford.  |

Probably just random art - Gainax chucks up a new random picture on their homepage on a weekly basis

Abe Hiroshi and Nanako Matsushima (Takashi Sorimachi's wife - they starred together in the live action GTO) are brilliant casting calls.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni
From 07th Expansion (Same folks who gave us Higurashi no Naku Koro ni) and billed as a Murder Mystery.
Set in 1986, the Ushiromiya family arrive on Rokken island, owned by the family. Much of the first episode is comprised of introducing the slew of characters (the extended Ushiromiya family and their servants.) The Ushiromiya family was a prosperous family in the late 1800s and early 1900s but their fortune was demolished by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923. Ginzou Ushiromiya was given the reigns and he brought the family back into fortune, though he claims he had done so by trading his sould for 10 tonnes (20 billion yen) worth of gold to a witch named Beatrice.
Now that Ginzou is old and crotchety, his children begin viciously squabbling over his inheritance (largely because they all seem incompetent and need money) and the anime (as is typical) appears to focus on the exploits of the younger generation (as in Ginzou's grandchildren.)
Lecherous Leading Man: Battler
Violent Counterpoint/Leading Lady: Cousin Jessica
Creepy Loli: Cousin Marie
Clueless Big Tits: Servant Shanon
Quiet Emo Fuck: Servant Kanon
Background Color: Cousin George
The animation and dialogue appear to be above average quality and the story flows well.
Even if they didn't do Higurashi which I loved, I'd definately give them a shot based on the first ep.

Guess what this week's Haruhi was called? I saw one Endless Eight and its all I need. Slightly tweaking each episode with different things taking place isn't worth my time. if Haruhi wants to do Groundhog Day she needs to get Bill Murray and do it properly goddamnit. I don't watch recap eps why would I watch the same episode only slightly different? |

I just finished watching the first ep and I concur, S'okay. But really, since virtually nothing at all actually happened until the end, and I'm still ready to watch ep 2, I guess it's got something going for it. Oh, and the detailed drawings in the opening credits were pretty cool.
Otherwise, I've been horribly negligent on checking out the first eps of other shows...

Anyone tried Canaan or Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 yet? I've heard mixed things about both.
