so i just finished Gurren Lagann. Pretty stellar overall. Though as some others i have seen on the webernets have said, the ending battle drags out a bit, and even though the style in which the recap episode was in was refreshing, it was still a recap episode, so uneccesary to begin with IMO. but i did enjoy it very much, and im enjoying my Popcorn Hour a great deal, it really is great for anime! and obviously anything that isnt subtitled runs great as well!
 
Now im just decided if i want to start in on the behemoth that is Macross. I really liked Frontier, and i'd never seen any of macross before, so now at some point i want to work through the entire thing!  Should i watch it in release order? or chronological order starting with Zero?

I watched it in chronological order and was fine. Macross 7 was a bit of a chore to get through in the middle, but the end of it was ok. The other series I had no problems with shifting animation qualities. The older original Macross was by far the worst for animation, but in my opinion the best overall.

i started watching codegeass and so far its pretty good. i hesitated because i felt mecha's to be a bit of a boring concept but this show changed my opinion on that.

You'll find it's less about the mech and more about the powers, strategy, relationships and story. The mech is a means to an end. One of my top 5 of all time.

I was bored a few days ago and started watching Canaan on Hulu. Watched 6 of the 13 episodes so far. Pretty good so far, but the story seems to be dragging a bit.

Ano Hana was ok, it was a lot less mature than I was hoping for. The first 3 minutes were terrible especially considering how obvious the "twist" was.

Yeah saw that.  Now have to watch an episode or two to see if I want to buy it.  Though I might just buy it anyway, knowing my mad consumerism.

i guess it wasnt for everyone, but i thought it was definitely one of the better shows of last year.

I watched all of Gurren Laggan (however you spell it) over the past month. I actually enjoyed it a lot. At first I wasn't so sure about it, but then it got surprisingly good.

Well, I do have odd tastes and look for different shows for different reasons.  Like amongst my top 25 anime series I listed for a friend once I have Texhnolyze, K-On!!, Twelve Kingdoms, Simoun, and Sugar: A Little Snow Fairy in amongst the mix.  I'm a little eclectic and eccentric sometimes.

Indeed. Keeping up with most, currently favourate are the two 'Hana's and C. Dropped Time Paladin Sakura and Sengoku Otome ==

I'm watching Nichijou, Hanasaku Iroha, Hen Zemi, and C this season. I may pick up AnoHana some time.

 

[MrGreen]

Meh, dud season overall. Ano hana doesn't really interest me. Too much "Menma..." and "I am soo kawaii xD" and not enough plot

 

 

[Tomoyo]

I'm enjoying this season's anime since I have a good amount of anime to watch and that interests me compared to previous seasons.
