Did someone just say Gundam AGE is the best Gundam series?
Because it is.
Because it is.

Not quite, but 0083 is really bad. It's definitely down there with some of the dregs of the franchise.
Still better than Wing and AGE, if nothing else.

To AGE's defence, I really think that except for the last half of Kio's arc which was pretty bad, Flit's arc, Asemu's arc and the first half of Kio's are pretty good.
The only gundam show that I ever truly disliked was G-Reco for how of a mess its story was. Which is really a shame since it had awesome mecha designs, great music and amazing visuals.

Super awesome show.
I'm invested in the story and I like the little twists and turns so far. Gotta love the French samurai otaku girl who knows more about Japan than the natives and the Spanish kid who keeps getting shat on by all of his friends. I do hope the video streamer gets speared. Dude is annoying AF. American soldier stays wanting to shove stuff up peoples ass. Thats how we do it in the US of A fuck yeahhh.
I really wish PA Works toned down the CG for this show. Its excessive at times. The scene where everyone took the train to go shoot cosplay was awful to look at. Garbage CG train, garbage CG environments. PA Works does such an amazing job at background art that it upsets me when they go CG instead.
Another thing that kinda bugs me is how episodes dont transition nicely onto the next one. Like an important event would happen at the end of an episode then the next one starts completely differently in tone and content. Its not really that big of a deal but something that bugged me a bit.
Episode 17 was hype. I loved the hell out of it. Eager to finish the rest.

What in the flying fuck. I could buy
and yet the weirdest part of the episode was the lack of nipples. After an episode in which Embryo decanted how nice Ange's nipples were while pinching them, we get her giving frontal nudity to the camera but no nipples to be seen. Weird.
Oh, and Ersha saw the light, while Salia plunged deeper in her foolishness. How can you be so stupid? Because someone wrote you like that, I guess.
What in the flying fuck. I could buy
the frying pan stopping the bullet. It's far fetched but hey, she was wielding a frying pan during the episode so whatever. But surviving a fall and an explosion? Surviving a bomb strapped to the chest?

It's art people.

I don't get why so many people are down on Magical Girl Raising Project. I mean yeah, it's not the next Madoka, and there's nothing outstanding thus far, but it seems pretty competent. The characters aren't particularly deep or interesting, but they're entertaining enough given that most of them are meant to die, and it's only 12 episodes. It's dark, but that's in the premise, and it hasn't gone nearly as grimpderp (yet) as it could have. Nothing particularly stupid or incomprehensible has happened. The fanservice outfits are a bit annoying, and it's taking things a bit too slow, but neither seems like a deal breaker.
It's embracing the transformation concept the genre pays lip service too fully, with characters changing appearance, age (in both ways), gender, and one doesn't even look human. Both deceased characters died because of their flaws, not a random act of cruelty, and both managed to give story contributions before they bit it. The powers are given enough variety without being completely broken. It is about magical girls, in that it turns out if you half-haphazardly give magical powers to people like most MG shows do, most of them are not going to be the ideal heroes they're meant to be, if they're even heroes at all.
I'm not saying it's great (though I'm enjoying it plenty), and I understand not feeling it or disliking the premise, but I don't think it's done anything to be worth hating.

That's hyperbolic Animegaf in a nutshell. Some people here always go extreme when they don't like a show.
Captain Earth is Duckroll's favourite anime.
I haven't watched it yet but the dark magical girl trope is so overdone at this point. Most of these shows aren't saying anything with the combination of a light genre with a dark theme and the magical girl genre is much more interesting as empowerment for young girls and women instead of dreck that would fit in at a Hot Topic.

So the fatty got crowned.
Meanwhile a new challenger approaches. One witch leaves and another witch enters. Snow White's stepmom material. I mean that horrifying laugh justifies that image alone.
The only thing I don't like in this series is that Oscar is always there on the right time and the right place. She does have her faults, but it compared to other characters it doesn't really matter. Feels weird to connect historical characters with fictional ones. I don't know if it's some kind of power fantasy the author had.
At least we saw a golden livre.

Maybe it's a good thing Corvo doesn't post here anymore after all. His rage posts nowadays would probably cause more meltdowns than applause.

He'd be the one melting down when people would call him out on the nonsense.
Episode 23, in which she hands off her warm panties as a good luck charm has to be just right behind.

Oh man, that fucker is back... Things are going to get super interesting with him back in the fold, I'm just not sure how I feel about the way it went down.. Either way, this episode continues the great mix of action, adventure, comedy and good story entertaimment

The BDs for Season 1+Movie got a S.A.V.E. release and are dirt cheap. Will be even cheaper come end of Nov. too.
Season 1 was really good, but didn't hit it's overarching plot till later. It's a very Igarashi show in terms of how it's handled and I tend to enjoy his stuff a lot.
Season 2 has been very good so far too. The story it tells at the start fills in the history of one of the characters from S1 in a meaningful way.

It's a real shame Funimation will never release/license right to left and Exodus with a DUB since the series did not do well for them. I would really have liked it :/

I still find it hilarious that, to stream the entire series, a person needs to go from Funi to Daisuki to Funi to Crunchyroll.

That was awesome. I mean, the end with Lyon completely sucked, but the action in this episode was great and the way thr handled the battle was really well done. When this show is on it's A-game, it is top tier for sure. Still angry at that ending though, Lyon and Gray were awesome together.

That's only recently, before it was even worst were left to right was just nowhere but on illegal sites. At least now we can watch it completely, but yea it's very dumb.

I will say this, hosanna had less of an issue with it than I did for the earlier episodes because I felt it was aiming to be a boring EVA clone. The best way of getting through it is just to burn through it as quick as possible.

Thanks. Saw that and considering it, would be my first time purchasing physical anime in a long time.

So, if I got this right, the whole show was about Embryo-sama finding himself a girlfriend and utterly failing at conquering her heart. Couldn't he have done it like the rest of the world? Could have saved those thousand of years of waiting only to be rejected.

I've found MGRP to be entertaining so far. It's not the most revolutionary series, but it doesn't have to be, and I've had fun with everything so far.
There's an OT if you're interested in joining the discussion there.
He had to wait all those years just for his perfect waifu to be born.
