My room mate and I were on the floor wondering what we had smoked (neither of is do drugs) after 26, and then we put on end of eva

Oh man, I can't even imagine what End of Eva must look like without the context of the rest of the series.
How different was it compared to the original anime? I imagine once we get to the new events like going to the other city, the beach, and then everything during the ski trip will be completely new, but some of those don't happen until later on.
I never saw the original anime, but this is crazy fast paced. Lots of time on Marie though. Her scenes felt normal, everything else felt absurdly rushed.
I wonder if they are just rushing past a ton of stuff to focus more on Marie since there is going to be a ton of retread with this anime.
I'll probably watch it tonight or so, but it sounds like it's rushed similar to the beginning episodes of FMA Brotherhood. It's trying to get the material that we've already seen out of the way and set up so we can get to the newer content faster.
Yeah, this is most likely the situation. It seems it's only going to be 12 episodes compared to the original anime's 24, which I feel was a good decision.

Wait till it airs on Toonami and watch it with us
The concept is that this is "NG+". Yu is crazy overpowered (he takes out hundreds of shadows in the first episode), there are no introductions to any characters (it assumes you already know who they are), and its a bunch of choices that you would not have had the stats to choose on your first playthrough (ie, making King Moron your complete bitch).
I hated it, fwiw

That's actually a pretty cool way to do a remake anime based upon a remake game, too bad
An Eureka Seven sequel? There is no such thing, it doesn't exist. I don't know what you're watching but it's non-existent.
Hmmmm, interesting take, especially the fact they go with some choices you couldn't originally make due to not having high enough stats on your first playthrough (makes me wonder about future episodes).
Actually, now that I think about it, if it's NG+, it makes me wonder if they'll include
the secret Margaret fight & making Izanagi-no-Okami.
That was my position. I regret trying to change it, going to perform self mind-wipe now.
As much as I love Eureka Seven, I realize all the hate it got when it aired on Toonami and I would rather it be left dead gracefully instead of dug up and pissed on.
I moved onto watching Persona 4 Golden ep. 1. I'm not sure what the hell they are trying to do with this, doesn't make much sense given the recent Animation. Still it would be pretty awesome if they ran the original run and this on Toonami.
As a first time watcher, I felt Eureka 7 was pretty evenly divided between 'love this series' and 'hate this series' when it was airing. It definitely didn't receive the broad level of 'hate' that GXP, SAO, Beware the Batman, or Shipuuden did. Apparently this love it or hate it stance is just kinda how reception to the show is. There were a few very harsh critics but also some very vocal fans.
Personally, I was at least interested for much of the way through and I liked certain moments, but I really didn't care for how it ended.
This pretty much sums up my feelings. When Renton & co. got stuck on that beach, that's when the show just dropped in quality for me, which was about....6-ish episodes from the end?

Eureka 7 had great animation, a good cast (once JYB settled into Renton), good music, and I have little to no desire to watch it again.
I do thank Meta for his help in explaining some of the later stuff.

They should have been put in the ruins of Tokyo or something instead of an empty beach. Outside of that the final episode was great.
Because of the way many elements and terms of Eureka 7 are introduced - learned via context rather than a proper explanation (or perhaps the explanation is delayed/deferred to later in the series), I do think a rewatch could definitely be interesting in picking up on things that were pure jargon the first time around, especially early on.
However, I am right with you that I have zero desire to actually do that.

Yep, pretty great first episode, hope it airs on Toonami once dubbed.
I only saw the first episode and....man, I don't know if I can deal with that weird CGI. It's like from a budget video game. & strange why Netflix got the rights to have it be exclusive to them when it was on about 6 different Japanese TV stations.

Did anybody here watch Space Brothers? Great show.
Miss watching it every week, hopefully the anime starts up again soon.

it's pretty generic and all of the characters are as thin as can be (i told two of the love interests apart by their hair), but the action is good if you can get over the CGI (either i'm getting used to it or it improves toward the end of the series) and some of the story stuff can be kinda interesting.

I was really into it, but fell behind while
they were training in the desert.
If it's in hiatus, might be a good time to catch up.....

Yeah I think I took a break around then too. The first 40 or so episodes are legit awesome though.
The book was fantastic and was much better than the movie. Never got into the manga through. I assumed it was exactly the same as the novel.
Finally watched BLue Exorcist from last week. A meh episode at best, but as I've said, part of the appeal of the show is the fact that I am watching it at 2:00 in the morning most of the time, I have a lot less tolerance for stuff at normal human hours
BTW, this is a super super super long read, but the last few days in the Lebron thread have been magical http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=843425 Bish is now offering custom tags to people in it if they drive to Lebrons house
I've only read the Manga, but I really liked Edge of Tommorrow. I'm a mark for Tom Cruise so my opinion is tainted, but it's probably the best blockbuster of the summer so far.

I just bought Unlimited World Red for Wii U after picking up a 35 dollar Wii eshop card. At the same Target they also had Nintendogs Golden Retriever for 3 bucks and ME 3 Special Edition (aka why buy this for 60 when PS3 got all three games for 60 Wii U version.)
I can't pass up anything for Wii U under seven bucks or so, it's like I'm small krev.
OP is downloading remarkably fast since the eshop update.

At later points in the game I guess it sorta spoils the arc we're watching. Sorta.
That too I suppose.

Terror in Resonance seems interesting. The ED is top notch. Possible Toonami potential depending on where it goes.
And hey AoT/Dandy promos at 9:30e/8:30c on a Thursday. Who says Toonami doesn't gets promotion during the week!

Best thing about both Space Dandy and AoT promos is less chances for us to get crappy AS original content commercials during Toonami
I think both are amazing

Oh, I know. I just always seemed to catch them at like 3 in the morning or something.
