Eh Is the best description. Noone Sounds as insane,Senketsu sounds like a different guy(in terms of characterization) and Satsuki doesn't bring out my deeply-hidden inner sub the way she should.

Mekakucity Actors:

Fascinating story, would appeal to those who were interested by how Mawaru Penguindrum's writing was. Stylish as all hell. Probably gonna buy the soundtrack. A lot of the style probably comes from it starting as a series of songs adapted to light novels adapted to a manga adapted to this very pretty show. That soundtrack, tho.

Yes, I've been interested since I ran through the songs a not so long while back which despite me being very distant from understanding the real plot in the backdrop have inspired a great deal of feelings in me. That and it being done by Studio Shaft have me very much interested. Though I am waiting to begin until I am a season behind, as is my custom.

There is going to be more Build Fighters this Fall, Bells (and the rest of you). I'm going to have to buckle down to watch all things Gundam if I'm going to finish by then, which means I'm not going to finish watching all things Gundam by then. At least I'll get the references through Zeta this time, rather than just waiting for Heavyarms to get blown up.

Knights of Sidonia:

Interesting space/mech anime taking the 3D style that RWBY went with. In terms of visuals everything except the characters stand out, unfortunately most people are generically designed and it gets even worse when their mech pilot helmets obscure most of their hair. Starts a little bit rocky, but it's picking up pace on the two main mysteries of the story: The true nature of the Guana, the zerg-esque super space alien menace, and the full story behind the seed ship Sidonia, which is traveling to another star system to colonize since Earth has long been destroyed by the Guana. Character interactions have some moments of depth but doesn't go far enough to make the development scenes interesting.

M3: The Dark Metal:

A mech anime with the vast majority of the focus being on the characters, primarily in a psychological aspect. The setup is interesting (an expanding area of the earth is taken over by some strange force that destroys psyches, corrupts physical objects and creates mysterious monsters) but the show is in no hurry to play all of its cards. If you're into mech stuff, you'll probably be disappointed, at least for the first 8 episodes that are out so far, since the mech combat is an afterthought since the mechs themselves get a very different role in the story. Definitely for those who like anime with a predominant psychological theme.

Oh believe me, i'm splooshing all over for this... how would thought that an anime about kids saving the world by fighting with plastic robots would be so fun and engaging?

Also, they gave me the BEST re-imagining of Wing Gundam Zero since the original version. Makes me have High hopes that we will get a ''Endless Waltz'' revision this season

Also, from the teaser image, bets are up that one of the main Gunpla will be a revised Zeta (Others are betting a Xi + Zeta mashup ) both options would be great. For Zeta, you can just watch the revised movies "Heir to the Stars'' its 3 movies that compile a ton of stuff and looks amazing even today, totally worth it.

I expect some heavy influence from Unicorn into this season if you haven't catch up to it just yet...

I've got five episodes left of Zeta. I'm doing this the long way, no recap movies for me.

phil_ · 06-23-2014, 11:42 AM

So, those last five episodes of Zeta were quite something, but I'm enjoying the beginning of ZZ more than the beginning of Z because I'm a child and prefer goofy hijinks to dead parents.

But that's not what I'm double posting about. I'm double posting to raise my hand as the only human being on the planet (we aren't counting more cunning chimps or gorillas here; I can't speak for them because I can't sign) who cheered at the end of last week's Jojo because the best "Stand of the week" showed up for next episode. I was sure they were going to skip Wheel of Fortune, because who gives a crap about Wheel of Fortune other than me, and I was wrong. My anticipation is immense. Maybe we'll even get The Sun and Sethan at this rate.

Does anyone know what anime this is from?
