My bad, Toonami airing in the Saturday midnight slot is still messing with me. Wish it were on earlier.

I like your posts.
I liked Blood+, but then again I like a lot of really dumb stuff.

Speaking of Trinity Blood, that show just starting showing on the FUNimation Channel recently lol.

STEREOTYPED BLACK GUY ALERT
I wouldn't say that. I see a lot of hate for the series around the internet and a lot of love for it. It's a weirdly polarizing series. WHY it's polarizing, I have no friggin' idea. I attribute it to the fact that the things that really make it unique only really appeal to a niche audience. The kind of person who is going to be interested in references to the work of Sir James Frazer AND simultaneously interested in awkward teenage anime romance (with giant surfing robots) is a pretty darn specific sort of person.
Edward's entrance here is the best.

Yeah, Holland's a jerk. I remember him getting a bit of a reckoning but I think it's happy endings for everyone when the show ends, can't remember precisely though. I think maybe you should have seen it through to the end though, some decisions that may not have made sense are given a bit more context.

Most anime shows are niche...
and if you compare Eureka 7 to John Cena again I will kill you. I will physically kill you.
I always saw Trinity Blood as SOTN Crossed with a failed attempt at the Vash the Stampede "Heroic Idiot" archetype. I'd say it was one of the least-memorable of all their shows, which is kinda sad, as I believe the Author died before the manga could be completed, or something to that effect...
I rather enjoyed Eureka in it's first run, though. I remember the final ep re-air thing! I like the fact that the older-than-14 characters are actually interesting, and developed as the story goes on, as well. It's like the show starts with a normal anime forumla, and then makes it into it's own by taking the characters in a bit bolder direction.
And kudos to Renton for actually admiting he LIKES the girl, rather than being a "Tenchi" about it.

Around this part of the show though he gets pretty tall. When the timeskip to the Promised Day happens, he's quite a bit taller than Winry. Dat delayed growth spurt.

Best thing John Cena did was be Juliet's brother, FACT!

These are not the alchemists you're looking for.
Yea, that was almost the dealbreaker for me, so much agreement in the posting.
Another Psych-o in this thread? GET OUT.
He's already taller than Winry, I think they showed it last time they met up. I really like the way he actually, well, grows up through the series.
Trinity Blood was pretty interesting. Some crazy stuff in there.
Not what I'd call bad though.
Nah, it wasn't that bad. Was pretty inconsistent on some things though, which was annoying. I liked most of its OP/EDs though.

No it's not. Some of the aspects are great like the fact the author's brave enough to
Cause permanent harm to everyone's favorite Colonel Mustang

I think your opinions are terrible

The look on Ed's face as he was being carried away is priceless.
I'm obviously talking niche even within the niche audience for anime. Or do you know tons of anime fans with a great love of 19th century comparative religion?
Also, huh?
Edward's sense of aesthetics...

Blood+ is the one anime I get angry with when watching, and not in an "annoyed they're dragging this out so fricking long cause it has potential" way like Bleach. It just infuriated me so much.
So it's like my version of cosmicb's E7.

You're not actually wrong. Renton putting up with too much bullshit is what actually makes the show bad. It's like BONE's Mary Sue-cliche there.

What? When did that happen?
I didn't like Brotherhood's ending because it effectively gave every Alchemist a free wish as long as they gave up alchemy. Sort of a cop out.
Also the fight with Father was pretty lame I thought. Not very engaging.

You... don't know about John Cena?

After all the "LOL, everything in Casshern is SEX!" stuff in this thread, I wonder how everyone here would take
Riku's death.
I don't think most people who love E7 are in it for the allegories to comparative religion. If you broke down every series into component parts and tried to venn diagram them all, Eva would be the most niche series imaginable. That series tries so hard to alienate viewers, it's surprising it's so popular.
As for E7, it certainly only appeals to a certain group of people. You have to love mech action and can deal with/actually like teenage angst.

Hey thanks
Maybe someday since I've heard good things about AO, though only just getting "context" isn't exactly reassuring. I want despair, not context.
Yea, I had that issue with both Renton and Shinji.
