This is truly bizarre.

Have you seen AGE, man? Stuff's awful. Unless you're talking about Rah Xephon, in the which case I prefer the Evangelion where Asuka doesn't suck.

00 worse than 83 & AGE?
...

Yes, because 83 is laughably bad. I mean, it's bad, but it's funny bad. AGE is awful, but since it doesn't have a movie as terrible as 00, it was saved.

WHAT?!?

Seriously? Worse than Gundam Seed Destiny let alone AGE?

Seriously what did 00 disappoint you with besides the terribly bad movie?

The movie was the tipping point, but 00 is pretty much the worst Gundam anyway. What's hard to understand about this? I mean, let's not forget that this show kills off and brings back the exact same characters on separate occasions. Specifically
the two Lockons and then also the girl that was basically Nena Trinity in the movie.
Let's not forget the hilariously insipid plot (Aeolia Schenberg tooooootally planned on using terrorists to force the world to unite into a shitty government his terrorists would then use Trans American Rainbow Powers to fight until prepared for aliens) nor should we forget the equally awful writing (OH BOY I WONDER IF THIS IS ALSO PART OF AEOLIA'S PLAN!?), the unoriginal and simultaneously contrived cast (Setsuna F. Seiei is Sousuke Sagara with Shinn Asuka's character design if Sousuke Sagara was an awful piece of shit character who NEVER improved; Felt is Lacus if Lacus wasn't important in any way.), nor the absurd names (RIBBONS, REVIVE REVIVAL), and the utterly pointless romances, cast of like 500 characters, and the way people gained power ups without any rhyme, reason, explanation or preparation (00 CAN TELEPORT! Louise is an ace pilot in spite of never having touched a mobile suit in her life!)

No, the real reason Gundam 00 is the worst fucking Gundam, and an intolerable piece of shit is a two-way tie between the GIANT SPACE FLOWER ending and that GODAWFUL SONG that somehow everyone could hear.

But lest I seem to be going too easy on the show, I'd also like to point out that it couldn't be troubled to keep SIMPLE CHARACTER RELATIONS STRAIGHT, such as Kujo's old college boyfriend not knowing her old college idol, even though all three are seen together in her flashbacks. Oh and the haphazard decision to make Innovator and Innovades something different from one another in the last ten seconds of the show.

Basically Gundam 00 is horrible in every conceivable way. Yes, EVERY conceivable way. By the end of the movie even the action, which had once been good, had devolved into nonsensical colorful lines flying across the screen while nothing tense or important ever bothered to happen.

At least in AGE they didn't invent a second type of X-Rounder on the fly in the last ten minutes of the last episode. At least in 0083 you could laugh about how awful it was. At least in Destiny they had the good sense to drop the terrible lead halfway through.

Attack on Titan 7

That was great. Mikasa is one of the best strong female characters I've seen in years. She's so cool and I'm totally okay with her taking the spotlight of the show. Although I can't imagine DTL will be too happy with that.
The new titan is interesting. Could it have something to do with Eren?
This show is pretty good at getting me excited for the next week.

You really think RahXephon was as bad as Gundam AGE? Disliking it is one thing, but that's extreme.

I really do, but for different reasons. AGE is actively terrible and Rah Xephon is passively terrible. Rah Xephon's problem is that it spends all its time either ripping off Evangelion or not bothering to explain questions it promised to answer in the first episode.

Not a whole lot that I didn't like, it just didn't touch me as particularly amazing, either. There was some good, but the brevity of the series left a lot unresolved, which I found dissatisfactory. There was also the character of Sigyn, who I did not like at all. There was a twelve year old with the body of a 20 year old and a 20 year old with the body of a 12 year old, which kinda hurt the two characters, and I wasn't entirely fond of the show's faces.

That said, it was a good show, with a really good OST and some freaking awesome battles. It just wasn't enough to bump it further up on my list.

Fair enough. The brevity and unresolved parts are kinda due to the fact that the manga is still going (the ending of the series differs slightly from what happens in the manga).

If it were to extend out into a full series, I'd raise its stance. I didn't think it was bad, it just didn't elicit the kind of response other series did from me. It was pretty good, though.

Holy crap you guys aren't lying. This show is freaking terrible but Saki's amazing.
Too bad it looks like it may be a one off with her trolling the girls in Haruto's body, shit we needed more of that shit, would have been awesome but since the cat is partially out of the bag the show will probably not bother with that again sadly.

If everyone that uses a Valvrare becomes
a body swapping vampire,
I don't think we've seen the last of these
body swap
shenanigans. It's an easy tool for comedy that I doubt they will just leave unused.

Naw I get where you're coming from. I disagree on those points, but I understand. Yeah, that said, the manga is released at a snails pace and they've kinda opened up a new, previously unannounced/rarely talked about nations and a character and arcs that are manga only
and Zess is personally leading a new attack against Hodr's kingdom, and Sigyn actually divorces Hodr and actively pursues Rygart
.

Yeah, but see,
this is what I don't like about Sigyn. I guess the show just doesn't provide enough of a reason for WHY she doesn't like Hodr, and so she comes off as kind of in the wrong for wanting to betray the husband who is waging a war to keep her alive.

The fervent dislike mostly stems from the 2nd half (episodes 15 and on) of the show.

Akibaranger season 2 ep 6

Back to standalone akibaranger antics which I prefer instead of the official sentai heroes cameos. hmmmmm Maaya Uchida has a nice body......

Awesome combination of combining the MMZ01 and 02 into a Bayonette Gun.

I don't think the body swapping is going away, I mean more specifically chicks getting trolled by other tricks in a man's body! There's a difference! It's very specific. Saki's now popular, lol, and has the school cheering for her so I don't think she specifically will straight up do shit like she did in this episode from now on. Eventually though the amount of people who are going to know about the body swapping thing is going to grow and grow and either somehow still remain a secret for the lolz, because honestly at that point Haruto should at least come out with it, or, the show's going to devolve into "the Thing" which could be amazing.

This post broke my computer. It was stuck on this image in fullsize mode for over 5 minutes.

IT WAS FUCKING GLORIOUS.

I always got your back.

OMG yes! I looked up Kozue Aikawa the other day too, and she's also great!

I think
they chalk it up to just incompatible personalities since she's really been after Rygart from day 1, basically. Like they're banking on it being a still burning flame in her heart that damages her relationship to Hodr. It's a bad reason, yeah, but outside of the whole war plot point not an unrealistic idea.
And correct my memory if wrong but
she presents the divorce papers prior to the war no? I think she just doesn't actively pursue the divorce during the war. I mean, she's actively contributing to the war effort too. And is she ever made aware of the "unwritten" condition of the execution of Krishna Royal Family? I thought it was basically just shared between Hodr and Rygart. I can't recall.

It goes from something that was mostly just dumb to what led firehawk to label it worse than child porn.
Well I got nothing from the first half. It just annoyed me with its dull protag and all the characters craving his dick. The second half felt like more of the same but with
incest and tentacles
. At least I got a fun Takehito Koyasu delivery out of the second half.
I C. Let me perch for that episode then. But so for lahv it




;__;

Hey, if you're enjoying it, more power to ya! I just don't get it.

I stuck with SAO for the first half. It ranged from boring as hell to mediocre with some neat action scenes sprinkled in every once in a while.

But episode 15

That was the breaking point for me. I mean. I know I watch a lot of stupid things from time to time but man, that was pretty bad.

Yup that episode jumped over the shark and then murdered it.
Oh well.

By the way, Korvy-kun, what do you think of the Kiddy Grade ED? I think its totally beautiful.

Valvrave - 06

I lost it (laughing) when
after her turnaround, the missile hitting her became her father beating her and her mother cutting her with scissors or something.

This show just goes the extra mile.

Blonde is hot too, but Shoko is still the best.
 
First 5 minutes of Doki Doki Precure 16

I am having a severely hard time trying to get through this episode, because I keep fist pumping the air and getting super giddy over the fact that Regina is just screwing things up to the point of messing with the group's dynamics. THANK YOU REGINA
 
Hidamari Sketch 1

My quest to find a slice of life comedy to watch continues. Going from Nichijou to this was a bit of a leap as the ugly Shaft visuals really stand out, especially the awful backgrounds. This episode mostly bored me, I'll give it a few more episodes like I did with Nichijou, but right now I think my quest is doomed.
