Man, I have so much stuff I need to finish...
I definitely do not pretend to be a Real Fan of Rei. Heck, I don't even know if I qualify as anything more than a "fan" of NGE. I mean, I really love the series and the characters, but I'm no True Scotsman.

If only there was fan art, of course, in their plug suits too.

Medaka Box Abnormal 6
Been said a bunch already, but Naze's voice is PERFECT. It fits the character so damn well. Can't wait to see more of her next week.
Glad to see Koga's crazy break-dancing/acrobatic fighting style translated well to animated form. Stellar choreography that's only problem is how little there is of it.

so is it Capoeira or actual dancing kind of like Mugen from Samura Champloo?
its one of those things that look great animated, but are kind of hard to pull off
Well my understanding is that people like her because she fits this idea of a traditional Japanese housewife, personality-wise. The submissive part is a big component but also motherly as well.
Sounds like she's just too deep for you. It's okay.

It's not Capoeira, but it's not really straight up dancing like Mugen either. It's just stylish acrobatic and flexible movements. I mean, she stands on walls and ceilings, which I'm pretty sure isn't part of any real world martial art.
Deep like the vaccum that was her character for 20 episodes out of 26.
Anyway:
Zoids: New Century Zero I'm up to episode 24 now, and I want to bring up the fact that Vega and Sarah are essentially a very warped version of Shinji and Misato, right down to Vega wearing a plug suit (which are common in mecha anime now. Hell, Leonard Testarossa wears one. But Leonard is a white haired pretty boy, so yeah.). Anyway, the point is that it's a grown woman lugging around a messed up exceptional pilot that has a mecha that goes Berserk. Only where Misato used her gruff exterior to hide her care for Shinji, I'm pretty sure Sarah is using her sweet facade to disguise a much crueler perspective. At least things are finally heating up in time for the show's finale.
Gundam Seed Up to episode 30, and I am SO GLAD that Kira/Flay is OVER. Hate hate hate hate hate her. Blech. And also Mu La Flaga is like the coolest guy in this show. I'm surprised he isn't the Char Clone, because usually Char Clones are the coolest. So sick of Yzak, too. Kinda pissed he won't be dying soon.
Is this your first time watching Seed? Are you watching the HD Remaster?
Well I actually somewhat disagree with this but not for any factual reason really but more because I feel visuals always take the precedence when it comes to any visual medium, other than writing which I feel is crucial for any work. You can get away with mediocre audio if the visuals are impressive enough. That said, audio can both enhance and also detract from an experience if they're exceptional in one way or another on the quality scale.
I don't think this is the HD Remaster, no. Yes this is my first time watching SEED. I watched Destiny when I was in High School, and only understood like half of it. So I figured it was time I fully acquainted myself with the series. I liked Destiny, but I didn't understand all of it, y'know?
Shinn is an infinitely worse protagonist than Shinji Ikari. Can't stand Shinn. UGH. I didn't even KNOW WHO KIRA WAS and I was still happy he hijacked the plot.
I've decided though that Mecha anime are at their best when 1)The fights actually matter (FMP does a great job of maintaining the drama even AFTER Sosuke gets his super upgrade, whereas Bit loses like, a grand total of once in Zoids.) and 2) They're good even when not in giant robots.
You're watching SEED. Oh dear, my sympathies. Well, SEED is not offensively bad like Destiny. SEED would actually be half ways decent if not for Flay. She's probably one of the worst Gundam characters put to screen. Heck, she may even be worse than Shinn.
Oh man... you should've been watching Seed Remaster. It's on youtube and they just finished airing the last episode last week. They redid scenes and stuff so it looks better sometimes.
Eh, from what I've seen the HD remaster didn't add that much. Heck, they even made it worse in some ways. You aren't missing much by sticking to the original.
Uh... They changed up quite a bit of stuff in the action scenes and many of the derp faces.

If I had seen the original I would still give the HD remaster a try, the OP/ED, the eye catches, and lots of the remastered scenes on the blu ray are totally worth it.
You'd love Tomino's stuff. 0079, Zeta, and Char's Counterattack are amazing. While I don't believe Tomino did it, but the 08th MS team is awesome as well. Than you have Victory, which is divisive but I adore. Also, Turn A. It reaches Evangelion levels of trolling, but you have to know gundam to effectively be trolled. There's a reason it's my favorite Gundam show.
Man, I hope Gundam the Origin's anime turns out to be a full 50 episode remake of 0079. That'd be the best news ever. If it is what I fear it is, a small OVA that just adapts the new parts from the manga, I'll be really sad.
Codebreaker 7
Indeed.
This was pretty sweet, really funny stuff. There was a lot of humor mixed in with sweet action at the end, with the actors and music selling both aspects. Gotta be one of the most entertaining episodes of the show thus far. All the codebreakers together as one made for some great hijinks.

Nah she was named after a friend of Ikuhara's. It was an attempt by Anno to lure Ikuhara to work on EVA that failed. Or so I heard.

That might be worth my time, then. The derp faces are by far what I like least about this show. I honestly do not remember the facial animations being so sloppy in Destiny.
The only other Gundam show I've ever actually watched is Gundam Wing, which was my introduction to Mecha (aside from Power Rangers).
And aside from the last two episodes of the original TV series, I honestly didn't feel that trolled by Evangelion. I worried that I'd hate it because I can't stand things that don't explain stuff (Like Toriyama) but honestly, I felt the show did a good enough job of explaining the basic idea of things: EVA 01 is super important to Gendo's plans, SEELE wants a, Gendo wants b, and Shinji ruins it for all of them and picks c.

you've watched destiny before seed ? until the end ? how is that possible ?
Anyway ..Enjoy seed it's got the most haxxor gundam pilot ever and the most haxxor main heroine ever ( you should understand if you've seen destiny ) but seed has a nice story .. don't worry if you hate faly , she was designed to be hated ... and her meltdown early in the series made her a "complete" character IMO..
Mu la fraga is awesome ...nuff said
Avoid it. Riiiight.
its amazing how a bit of coloured lighting makes the CG so much better
Sorry, can't agree with you there. Even more than other Char clones, Mu desperately reaches for the Char mantle and so utterly drops it. If he wasn't trying to live up to one of the most amazing mechs hero/villains of all time, he might be cool, but he feels more like a Char knockoff than usual.
Yeah, I didn't know that Destiny was a sequel until Kira showed up. And by then it was too late. It was pretty jarring to start in SEED and see a completely different side of Kira.
But yes, he's mad haxxor. I'm tempted to say even the ridiculously broken Wing Zero wasn't that broken.
But Mu La Flaga is where it is at. Loved the scene where he patted the Captain on her back and she's all "Careful commander. That's harrassment!"

If anything, it comes off like the writer was trying to shove the Char helmet on an already interesting character(and literally so in Destiny).
It felt like they just knocked off Char from Zeta, except took out all the interesting pathos of him being
a villain working with his former nemesis
He's not an actively bad character, just he's not as cool because Char exists. He's reaching for a thing he could never be. It could be worse. He could be Zechs from Wing. He's probably the worst failed Char clone. At least going forward they tried to differentiate each series' masked man from Char in some meaningful aspect.

If this is about him in Destiny, I agree that he was around that boring, which was a complete shame. Any interest you had in the guy pretty much coasted over from SEED + why he was wearing the mask(the reason being even more disappointing). After he got ahold of the Akatsuki, the parallel was complete in facepalm-worthy glory.
If this is about him in the original series I'd find it hard to disagree more.
Orignal series Mu is Zeta Char. In almost every aspect. The only meaningful personality trait they changed was that they made him a charming lady's man.
And yeah, what they did to him in Destiny just took not a terrible character and completely destroyed him, like most of what Destiny did.

I think it was from Richard III, right after the ""Now is the winter of our discontent..." part.
I'm only allowed 17.6 lies per month in my quota. This is not one of them.
If I do watch, it will because of weak will rather than any intention I have now.
You'll love it then. There's plenty of excellent art and drool-worthy clouds
Awesome! Ready to watch
Hmmm pantsu on top of leggings?? If that's the best it has to offer then... might have to pass. I need quality pantsu porn. I'm tired of all the cheaply animated shit. I need something real, and classy - (nsfw) Sophisticated panchira, that I can sip wine to.
Hmmm you mean Riroland? Wow, that actually kinda takes me back... sadly, nothing I've seen of Medaka Box has convinced me to watch it. Shenanigans and other merits aside, I wish there were more quality ecchi shows around. By quality I simply mean shows which are better animated and drawn. It kind of feels like most of them are either low budget or just lack the right kind of touch.
What is this you speak of?
Sigh, Char is not always the Char of 0079. He's not always the masked villain. Zeta turns him into the rival ally. That's what it means to be a Zeta char clone, what Mu is.
Why not do the sensible thing and claim that you have a friend who wants to know?
