Yuasa need money to buy Bento lunch.

I have two thoughts on this matter:
A) I don't think I've ever seen a Tomino series with satisfying tactical combat. Girls und Panzer has better battles than nearly everything that Tomino has ever worked on.
B) It accurately depicts how well organised combat would be with Tomino characters in charge of battles!
I love both of them.
Also for Rie as a doggie... If her cute voice gets your squee muscles going then you are in for a treat.

No-one ever expects Oshii because his interests are so diverse that his stories can take all kinds of turns: political in-fighting, actual action, comedy, drama etc etc.
Time to watch Photo Kano.

Well, there are kids in it and an animal mascot, so that pretty much covers it.
Ah man, the headband girl is great.

Episodes 3 and 4 were so wacky, they almost felt like they could have been out of Urusei Yatsura. Yet strangely atmospheric at the same time.
I wouldn't expect anything.

I don't actually allow myself to get excited, for just about anything, but this looks fairly promising.
I want you to explain that episode 3.

Regarding tactical combat can any of you recommend any shows that really do it well? It's my favorite part of GuP and one of the reasons I really like 08th MS team but I can't think of where to go for more of it.

7th hype is the worst. First Fujiko, then Saint Seiya Omega, then Photo Kano. When will the genocide end?
Wow, laying it on thick today huh?

AnimeGAF made me this way. I blame the culture.
If it weren't for us, we wouldn't be complaining about it!

Well, when Chirico isn't just killing hundreds of dudes at once Votoms can have some pretty meaty one-on-one combat sessions. Armor Hunter Mellowlink is basically all tactical combat of the lop-sided nature of the scenario.
Gundam 0080 and Gundam 0083 have some pretty satisfying combat that isn't just people flying around and shooting lasers, but it's not really to the same degree.
For the most part combat in mecha shows tends to be a bit nonsensical, tactically speaking, even though the action fighting might look cool. At the macro level of course LOGH has pretty good tactical combat but you're far away from the action that it's rarely exciting.

Hard to blame duckroll considering.
The whole "X's hype magically kills a show" meme is pretty dumb, but whatever.

Tokyo Esp is getting an anime! Woooo!!!!!!!
Yeah haha, I thought she'd be on the BL train but if she's down with the GL I'll move her up in my ranks.

Maken-Ki! - 08
As if they read my mind, Garret (the blue haired girl I was talking about in my last impression) returns for a brief moment to stir up her feud with best girl (Azuki), only to have new rival (and new OTP) Yang arrive to turn it into a 3 way battle! We also got a tender moment between Haruko and Midea.
Glad to see Aki getting more (nsfw) attention as well (nsfw). And here's a screencap for Tomat as he loves these types of girls.

Penguins could be cool. Slightly interested.
Am I missing something by not watching the older Mazinger Z first?
No, its just retelling/remake.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention Trio the Minor became deformed abominations.

Ako still assholing around because she needs to learn. We get more SoutaxAko. Gotta have the real 3 Precures be role models for this heathen. She doesn't want to sing because she's not ready to see her family, even though the Precures consider her one. She does so at the end of the episode though.
Action wise, we see TACTICS and powers being used for more than just killing things. So that was good.
Ako's singing kills a bird by the way. Not really, but it's clear who the bird really is. And yes, I'm literally avoiding Ako being in my screenshots for various raisins.

Cool. I'll start with that then move on to Giant Robo before watching Big O in japanese for the first time.
Thanks for the help.

No idea, but judging by other 70's anime shows that I've watched, probably a lot of off-model animation.

I think so far Ren Jinguji and Ittoki Otoya have had the best performances all season though Im kind of biased towards Ittoki more (that smile, etc) but Ren's performance with all the pretty effects and his bro moment was just really wonderful. Haruka seemed kind of pointless though considering who it was that brought about the whole event and made the memorable struggle and brought a great revelation. Loved it.

Why do that when they could just use the VAs and produce their own band?
Also, I'm all for advancing Mamoru Miyano's singing career.

Thanks, a lot of those were totally off my radar and Mellowlink especially seems to be exactly what I was looking for. It seems to be part of the Votoms universe but hopefully I won't have to know too much about it to enjoy it, if nothing else it might a good excuse to get into Votoms proper.
It took me an episode or two before I noticed them myself.

Most people have done a pretty good job of discussing my two biggest take aways from watching this episode which were:
i) That's a lot of fanservice
ii) This show is far more enjoyable when it's laid back as opposed to attempting serious drama
but on a more serious note I've gotten rather tired of this particular 'joke' in anime:
Hi-larious. Give it a rest, please.

Maken-Ki! is best when it's not trying to be serious.

Probably would have been crazy costly unless they get some K-Pop band that no one will like.
Not to mention, the VAs have all been established in the visual novels and hell they even been singing in those as well.
Just too much effort when you already have a boy band in the cast anyway.
