I have a feeling char characterization would have been much better in CCA. If the story of CCA was in ZZ instead of being condensed in 2-hour film format.. but that's tomino for you.;p

Maybe, but Char would still need some transitional development. We need to see him go from good to the crazy new Zeon dictator of CCA.

I don't think Tomino understands the difference between a 2 hour series and a 50 episodes film and a 3 episode OVA. He'll just cram whatever time he has with whatever plot he had in mind regards of how well it fits.

Ore ga Ojousama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Rachirareta Ken

In a hidden school surrounded by mountains, young ladies of good families are taught everything a high class lady needs to know. They are also completely cut off from the outside world, keeping them sheltered and innocent. However, a problem has come up recently-- more and more graduates are failing to cope with the modern world after graduation. To deal with this problem, they've decided to kidnap a male commoner student, and enroll him as a student. They hope that this will be a gentle way to introduce the girls to the outside world.

Kagurazaka Kimito is chosen for this dubious honor, mostly because he seems utterly average. However, the school leaders also seem to have concluded he's a homosexual with a muscle fetish. When Kimito hears that the alternative may be castration (to protect the girls' purity), he eagerly plays along with this misconception. Now he'll just have to survive the attention of many high class young ladies that are completely out of touch with the world!

Has to be an anime soon, right?

Jesus Christ at the Titans. Literally burning through Colonies like it ain't shit. These guys are worse than Hitler ever was. I mean the Zeons were nowhere near this bad. The Titans are definitely somewhere in the Stalin range. It's just so insanely black and white of a situation that I think it really does disservice to the show and concept at times. Oh and,
Hey wanna taste?

Huh?

My candy.

I love this dub so much.

Also fuck Reccoa. Wants some dick bad enough to sell herself out and commit genocide. I could understand if she had some legitimate reasons but she just wants to be fucked.
 
Having so much fun

pity everybody's either dropping spoilers like easy or letting newbies look the whole thing up on a wiki

I didn't have no damn wiki in 2001

I never understand the desire to spoil yourself with something like a wiki on purpose. That's just ruining the fun of actually watching the events unfold.

Then again they watched Deadman Wonderland so none of them deserve mercy.

I hate Manglobe for what they did to Deadman. The manga is actually somewhat decent and Manglobe just literally shat all over it. That lost any amount of respect I still had for the studio.

Staged death for overdrive modo

And when Michael Jackson just says, 'Hey you all need to do this' everyone just kind of accepts it. Oh man.

I hate to think you're right here but I bet you are.
My initial viewing (that I never followed up on) had me feeling Scirocco was influencing Reccoa with Newtype magic hence her not being able to remember anything on her spying mission and her falling for him after realizing she'd never get truly close to Char.
This would make sense but it's probably just a case of him being extremely charismatic and her exceptionally needy in retrospect.

The Light of El Cantare
Futari wa Precure Splash Star 01:

I made it through the fire, nothing can hurt me now. I defeated the final boss of Precure and this is just the bonus level.

It's going to take a Herculean effort of good characterization to ever be able to see Saki and Mai as anything other than inferior clones of Nagisa and Honoka. I mean, hell; their character design and personalities are the same, their transformation devices are the same, the mascots look the same, they have their own Marble Screw, monsters explode into tiny creatures upon defeat. Somebody please tell me that Max Heart tanked toy sales or something because I'd hate to think that two really well-developed protagonists were unceremoniously booted solely because magical girls over the age of fifteen are verboten.

So, I guess this is nature-themed, huh? What with the Great Deku Tree and the decidedly non-urban setting and the crazy humanoid plant villain and the invoking of nature spirits during attacks, it's about as conspicuously nature-y as it gets. Seasonal themes are all in the execution, so I can't comment after one episode. It was a rushed introduction, and I can only pray that the plot bullshit is kept to a minimum because we already have all of the worst staples established: there's a other-dimensional kingdom populated by critters, it's been taken over/cast into darkness by evil dudes, evil dudes are looking for a macguffin that will enable them to fully take over the kingdom fo realz. Reason number blahblahblah why Heartcatch is the best.

Flappy and Choppy have to be the worst mascot names in the history of the genre.

Actually Max Heart sold more toys than...anything up until Heartcatch, while Splash Star sold the least and forced them to reinvent themselves completely with 5. So yeah, booted.

Sounds quite painful, up there on that crucifix.

Spring is the season for eating shit. We have a show about shiteaters (Aku no Hana) and a show with a shiteater (Azazel-san Z).

It sounds like they've announced more anime for To Love-Ru Darkness. Don't know if it's just more OVAs or another whole season. More details in the next issue of Jump SQ in a couple weeks.
