As soon as Louise's captain showed her that picture of his wife, I knew he was going to die. Also apparently GN particles make you a Newtype.

Speaking of Newtypes, i'm about to watch Gundam 0079 compilation movies right now! After that, it's Zeta right?

And you watch Bible Black for the character designs clearly.

Did someone say Bible Black?

Has there been any word on when the new series of Black Lagoon starts ? Along with Ippo and the new FMA probably my most eagerly awaited anime next year.

FMA's going to fucking rock. I've actually stopped reading the manga so that I can appreciate the TRUE ending in all its animated glory, whenever the manga decides to end...

I was relieved when I found out the ending of the film wasn't the true ending of the manga (since it obviously hasnt ended yet) as it annoyed the fuck out of me no end. In fact I never realised that the anime went off in such a tangent compared to the manga!

Yeah, it really becomes apparent how inferior it is as a story once it goes off in its own way. It was always designed to, but it's damn jarring.

Oh man, the

Lust/Flame Alchemist

fight is going to be seriously epic shit in animated form.

I've been watching the Robotech boxset over the last two weeks, after getting the whole thing from CEX at the bargainlicious price of £20.

Working my way through "The Macross Saga" and I just got up to the part when

the Macross and Bretai's forces defeat the Zentradi invasion fleet.

This surprised me as it's only 2/3rds of the way through the saga, and I thought it would be the end of it (as that battle forms the basic outline of the last missions of the game Another Century's Episode 2 for the PS2 - though in a moment of anime heresy, I actually did the mission with a team of Hikaru, Heero Yuy and Domon Kasshu in their respective machines).

A look on Wikipedia reveals that the series went through some development hell whilst still SDF Macross, even before all the Robotech stuff, so they changed how many episodes had been commissioned several times during the run. Consequently, I don't know if, now that initial arc is over, the rest of the series/saga is going to be a meandering mess.

Also, I'm looking forward to getting onto the next saga as I'm really curious to see how they managed to stitch the different series together.

There have been some clever ideas. I liked the take on the "clip episode" most long mecha animes have, that usually give a "story so far" feel. Gundam Seed's were unashamedly contracted summaries; Robotech/Macross has two, one which is a report given by one character back to the Earth's military, and another that forms the fevered dreams of a character whilst in a comatose state. Although I didn't need them as I'm watching it on DVD, it was probably great at the time for people that had missed a few key episodes.

What REALLY surprises me is despite the at times harsh editing (the chinese restaurant fight scene has flash frames of speedlines whenever a fist makes contact, and some episodes were replaced by montages of still images with a voiceover), some of the more adult themes were still left in the series. I had expect them all to be removed. For example, Minmay's nude shower scene is still quite explicit (though not sexual in nature), and the "gender politics" (whilst not exactly brilliantly written), as well as the death of certain characters, and most importantly, the bit

where the humans tell some of the Zentradi where babies come from

was all still intact.

That, and the thing is still a visual and aural treat. It's just so kitsch, with the porno guitar music, terrible hastily written lyrics for Minmay's American song dubs and the animation yo-yos between terrible and great, but the designs still show through as years ahead of their time.

To sum up: It's pretty good.

The rest of the series is actually really good. It's more of an aftermath than anything else, leading up somewhat to the SDF-2.

At which point you'll need to see Flashback 2012 and explode in a fountain of cheesy '80s J-pop jizz like I did.

Just bought the Girl who leapt through Time and considering buying a film called Origin Spirits of the past. But is it actually any good?

No. Most anime is fucking terrible. Remember this.

It's really true, though. Ask anyone who's been burnt enough by the absolute shovel-loads of utter shit out there.

I find you just need to cherry pick what you watch. This is a good thread for it as I rarely end up with anything duff. Having said that most of my anime watching these past 6 months has been mostly One Piece. Can't get enough of that show.

I'll add it to the list. Though I do fancy watching something a bit less cutesy and more serious. Similar sort of thing to Gungrave with a decent story to get my mind round.

Black Lagoon perhaps? Maybe PlanetES if you want serious although there's not much gun toting action.

girl who leapt through time is excellent , origin looks nice and starts really well but quickly gets very boring and loses all scientific credibility

A volcano on legs with lava still stooting out when not even connected to the ground? that`s just annoying.

. Would be good for kids though I`m sure if it wasnt a 12...
