No. They need to make a good series.
So they need to make another series like G.
Fueled by nostalgia & something, I recently tried to go back and marathon G...Yeah, it was horrible. Glasses were shattered. I couldn't stomach more than a few eps.

I'd take a new G Gundam in an instant. It would be like TTGL.

Oh but it does. Strangely. Some of them are even vocal, bizarrely.

Depends by you mean in "the last few years" and by what you mean by "super robot shows". I mean, mecha is now a niche and 'super robot mecha' is a niche within that niche.
I mean, Star Driver isn't really anything like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. But if we're working from 2007 then there's:
Genesis of Aquarion
GR: Giant Robo
Koutetsushin Jeeg
Gurren Lagann
Evangelion 1.0 (?)
Evangelion 2.0 (?)
Shin Mazinger Shogeki! Z Hen
Mazinkaiser SKL
Star Driver Final [Episode] (??????????????????)
Gundam needs more people piloting robots which ride horse robots piloted by actual horses.

Because all they want is someone to go over material (a super-robot Gundam show) that's already bee covered?
OR
you don't like G Gundam?
I can't tell.
C) All of the above

I liked the Yuuki focus of the episode. Funny episode with the manga, I liked their teamwork. Shun as the love interest was too funny. But Ryunusuke Mangashita was a cool character.

Well at the very least,
It's kind of difficult to explain exactly why you killed a small child in cold blood. Getting rid of the diary would remove all evidence. He'd simply disappear. But after a certain point where he's already caused enough of a ruckus, hiding it stops mattering and you may as well just knife the kid.

Well, I think you're at least partially correct. G Gundam is great, but it's only liked in retrospect - at the time it didn't seem to get that much love (presumably because it was such a big break from the established formula).

This show is about as stupid as it's ever been but I feel no desire to continue. I find that eating too much junk food makes be feel a bit sick, and as this show is the equivalent of an unhealthy I have no qualms dropping it.

Don't. Seriously.
I thought the anime series was okay but then you find out what happens after the series ended. And it is just UGH. Some people are into that though.
And that is part of the answer...

I blame Ben-To!
Too late, the episode count was 9, and I could only forsee stupid shit happening in those episodes.
Looks like I wasn't that far off the mark either.
Now you have me curious as to what happens when anime finishes, back to wikipedia.
Edit: ....
I blame all my problems on anime as well. Particularly those that involve oversized breasts.
No need I will tell you what happens after the anime....
Nothing
-emo boy(yano) leaves to go somewhere, he says he will be back in 2 years but 6 years pass and he never comes back(comes back later on to be all shoujo with I can't be with her cause i luv her trope) .
-main girl still waiting for him even after the promised 2 years go by(6yrs), continues to touch her self at night while monologuing about yano(25 year old virgin, last chapters falls down the stairs and I think she might die as virgin hopefuly).
-bro boy for these past 6 years has been in the friend zone area,as soon as she thinking about giveing up he fucks it up for him self by saying emo boy came by many years ago and he told me to not tell you and am telling you it now to drag on this story.
so nothing changes, yano to busy being emo, main girl is still monologuing about emo boy and bro boy is still trolling himself

Yes!
The bad taste, we must exorcise it out of you. THROUGH A GUNDAM MATCH!
G Gundam was not well liked when it aired.

Anyhoo, KimiBoku took a break from the relationship stuff to do a close bro-love kohai/sempai thing. So cute.

One thing I just noticed about Squid Girl - last season introduced a new squid girl or some form of sea girl right at the end... but they seemed to have ignored that "twist" this season. I wonder if that was a conscious choice to avoid having any continuity whatsoever, or if they're going to re-introduce the character later on.
This is that mysterious girl:

Only because of how different it was at the time. Now that some time has passed people realize that it was awesome.

Besides Penguindrum, what are the must watch shows of this season?
Chihayafuru is the only show this season I would say anyone should pick up and try out. There's other stuff without as much universal appeal, but if a synopsis strikes you then just go for it.
"Must watch" show goes to Chihayafuru.
Ben-To for the fact that all it's rediculousness is all over half priced food.
Squid Girl for the HNNNNNG
Boku Wa Tomodachi for the lulz.
Mirai Nikki if you love psychotic murderous girlfriend shows.
Fate/Zero
Chihayafuru
I don't really think anything else is "must watch", although there are a couple other good and/or fun shows out there like Tamayura, Bento, Working, Squid Girl, and BokuTomo.
Guilty Crown is also worth checking out.

She's in the manga through, so I doubt they'd just cut her out. Don't know when she shows up again though.
Mirai Nikki 7
Damn, more censorship, but still an awesomely tense episode.

Vader vs Gunsam.... God the dialogue, is perfectly gundam. LMAO.
Actraiser is a great bargaining chip.

INCREDIBLE finale! Things happened exactly how I wanted them to, but better. Great fights, great developments, and a slight altering of the status quo that is quite befitting of a final episode. And holy shit at the post credits scene!
Overall, this was a fantastic series. There is not one character I dislike even if I was a bit sour on a few like Barnaby at first. Kotetsu is really a great and relatable protagonist. It's nice to see an everyman as the hero for once even if he does have super powers.
As I said before, I really loved how things escalated. Each arc was more tense and badass than the last one with some fantastic albeit standard villains. I kind of regret putting this on the backburner back at episode 4, because I'd probably have a blast discussing and speculating stuff with everyone.
I honestly think this series has great mainstream appeal and could legitimately save anime in America (I mean if people still bought anime of course). It's straightforward, standard but well-executed, stars a multinational cast of superheroes, and it takes place in what might as well be a futuristic New York City. I really hope Viz treats it well since this has a ton of potential beyond yaoi fangirls.
This will definitely have a top spot in my AOTY list. Can't wait for more next year.

Seems like Ouroboros is much bigger than we all thought. I'm guessing it makes a lot of sense though with how Maverick said the addition of Hero TV led to a big change in the city and helped it prosper, so it only makes sense that a few Ouroboros higher-ups snuck their way into powerful political positions.

Aww, I'm kinda on the fence. I'm going to give it another chance, even at its worst it's better than Penguin Drum, but this episode better have been a one-off.

Eden of the East 3/4
This game is rather serious. Although I wish main would get his memory back, I would be afraid he would have a complete change of personality. If given 10bln yens I dont know what I would do beyond living in a mall.

I enjoyed Eden of the East thoroughly and look forward to see how this pans out for you. Also, fuck yeah, mall living.
