Don't know what you expected; this happens every time an anime gets popular.

Honestly, I don't think I'll be watching OPM anytime soon. Outside of some fantastic looking animation, there doesn't seem to be anything that I'd find interesting in it.

Concrete Revolutio 10-12

Okay, I caught up. I'm not sure how I feel about this show, as it's slow, but at least it started to pay off. Episodes 11 and 12 finally started to show more and answer a few things. Kikko also obtained that
devil form
pretty quickly. I'm still not sure if Claude is really good, he really doesn't seem so, as he exploits Kikko. Hell, I doubt any character in this show is completely good, maybe other than Jiro.

Gargantia OVA - Episode 2 (End)

For some reason I forgot to watch this even though I watched the first part. Maybe it's because the first part was relatively uneventful and I just didn't have the urge at the time. It sure is Gargantia. Not much to really talk about overall, but there were some interesting hints that the setting is much larger than just the ocean that was suggested in the TV series. Too bad we won't see any of that expanded on in any animated form since they cancelled the planned second season. Boo. I'm sure the hooks towards the end were meant to tie in to that.

Gundam AGE 1

It's very colorful and the character designs make the somewhat serious beginning hard to take to seriously. And those enemy mobile suits look weird as fuck.

I should have started SEED instead.

A comfy end to a sweet show about girls having fun in the amusement club. The first have was fun with the comedy act and the brat bringing the bugs in. The second half was super sweet and reminiscing about the series in general got me emotional since there probably won't be more of this show. While the third season didn't capture how fun the first two seasons were it was still fun. I'll miss these kids.

Wow, the cancelled TV series sequel is mega depressing now. It looks like the OVA was totally setting it up. It would have continued 2 years after the OVA story, with the focus of the story shifting to the land nations mentioned in the OVA. The two leads would be a whale hunter from one land nation who meets a moe squidgirl, and a daughter of a minister from the opposing nation who is chosen by another super mech to be a pilot and she uses it as an excuse to find freedom. Looks like Ledo and the Gargantia are still part of the story too. Sadface. :(

I didn't expect this to expand to so many "supernatural" things. We have superheroes, ancient legends, aliens, robots, kaijus, yokai, magic...
Click to expand...

Well, that's the basic premise of the show. An alternate history with parallels to real Japanese history where many thinly disguised versions of 60s and 70s anime and tokusatsu characters (often fusions of multiple characters into one though) coexist in a single universe. Thematically, it seems to be moving towards some criticism of Japan, although it's not exactly clear what it's going to say yet.

Asia-Pacific expo lol. I didn't realize expos were so big. Well that's America for you. They make everything as exact as possible. Chloe sure knows a lot about Japanese architecture for an American middle school girl. I really don't get why Emily is Glitter Lucky. She's been having bad luck from day 1.

It's rather disappointing to hear that, because it suggests something really bad must have happened behind the scenes in order to justify a cancellation. Gargantia wasn't perfect, but it had pretty good sales and the universe was left open to further exploration. I guess it's fortunate that novels will continue the intended story, yet most of us will never be able to read them.

Wow, I didn't know any of this. I loved Gargantia a lot (I have a bit of a thing for water worlds). This makes me all the more disappointed. ):

Yeah, I found out they parallel real historical incidents with the various events in the series. It's a really neat detail that I had no idea of while I watched this.

Eventually, when I get my hands on the original. Saw some comparison shots of the remaster against it, and didn't like what I saw.

That's it. The good qualities (mostly the food) aren't enough any more to counterbalance the generally mediocre production, the annoyingly exaggerated character behavior, and most of all the trashy sexual edge where cooking becomes an act of sexual assualt. Dropped.

Could I, perhaps, interest you in some Shigurui ? It's a romantic tale of two samurai vying for the hand of an heiress to a large fortune. It's like Tokyo Ghoul cause it features a morally grey world and it has hmmmm all the gore your heart could possibly desire. And It's like uuhh ... Barakamon ! cause it has some calligraphy stuff in it ! And it takes place in countryside !

I'm kinda surprised you made it this far. But really, at this point, watch it to completion.

I was expecting you'd have dropped it sooner. At this point though might as well as finish it no?
