just finished fate/stay night

i have to say i was impressed (i have very high standards)

gilgamesh is the shit

I am following Gundam 00 (season 2 is almost here!) though, which has been a return to form after the travesty that was SEED.

first 4 eps of that show are rather boring but gradually gets better and better. the later parts of the season are hella awesome, especially the last few episodes. i agree about SEED though, I thought it was boring and only watched a few episodes

I have watched two episodes of this...I like it.

World Destruction is good, Maaya Sakamoto does Morte's voice. Allmost very anime she's done VA work for has been really good. There are other really good VA's for that series too. Im a fan of Maaya's music, I love listening to her voice so its reason enough for me to watch that series.

Sadly though the series is only 13 episodes or so so i dont really know how well its going to turn out unless they do a second season.

i agree about SEED though, I thought it was boring and only watched a few episodes

SEED starts off slow and doest really get better till the end i think and Destiny is good after episode 22 or so. Gundam 00 is pretty so-so untill the last 5 episodes, 00's story moved so terribly slow, The second season looks to be promissing though. but SEED/SEED Destiny are like the beset Gundam series since Zeta. 00 is promising but we'll see.

I guess I had the benefit of watching 00 all at once, so most pacing issues were lost on me. Still, I like that it has some very clear themes and the characters are quite interesting (Graham ftw), not to mention the battles are pretty well laid out.

I'm still ambivalent about SEED... The series had some potential, as did Destiny, but it lost all direction towards the end (hell, Fukuda himself admitted he had no idea where he was going) and Destiny ended up being SEED redux (Jesus!Kira's aimbot saves the day, wtf).

Anyways, cool to see Gundam still getting some love 'round these parts.

I've heard the complaints before (Not reasons though) about Lucky Star. What's so bad about it? To be fair, I haven't really watched it either, getting as far as the opening theme before closing the window, I'm just curious.

you would have to be a really really hardcore anime fan to understand most of the humor in it. If you ever met anyone that says that they understand every joke, they're lying....or if they really did get every joke then there is a .000000001% chance of him ever getting laid.

The best way i can explain lucky star is that its the "meet the spartans" of anime. The humor is in the references, not because anything is actually funny.
