I've gotta get something off my chest. I've been seeing alot of people praising how awesome Gundam OO is but I don't get why its getting all the love? Admittedly the first season was badass, it had a great plot and character development and everything, but the second season seemed like typical generic fluff.

Spoiler

Basically season 2 was just your typical "Big evil government takes over the world though oppression while duping the public and the heros join the rebels and help overthrow them blah......blah.....blah.....boring." And don't even get me started on the goddamn movie. All this stuff about bringing an end to wars and whatnot and everything that the humans and whats-his-name (the founder of the resistance movement who invented all that stuff) was able to create and what is the point of it all? What was the guy trying to prepare humanity for? World peace? Enlightenment? Nope-

!!!ALIENS!!!

Granted it was at least a unique take on aliens, and by that I mean it wasn't your stereotypical "We're here to conquer your planet and/or tentacle-rape your women!" kind of aliens. But still at the end of the day its still-

!!!ALIENS!!!

Like I said, the first season was awesome and really different but after that the whole thing just fell apart for me. Complete waste of potential imo.

It's the Gundam Seed to Gundam Seed Destiny syndrome I tell you. But despite all that, I enjoy them for what they're worth.

Rosio Vamp... not too sure what I think of it but I had fun watching it and that's all that really matters I guess, I doubt I will buy the blu-ray though, on that note Steins Gate looks like it is going to cost me a fortune :'( I hate that I can get the full series of claymore for just £25 at my local exchange yet a single volume of Steins Gate cost £56 oh well, at least I get a free capsule toy.

The RV anime was kinda stupid after the first season was done. Thats my opinion though and I guess I feel that way cuz they completely broke away from the manga during that season, the story they came up with was totally different and they even changed the way Moka's dad looked (Also in the manga it was Moka's mom who was one of the Three Dark Lords, not her dad). The manga had a far darker theme and story and I preferred that one.

That's cool, I actually prefer when the anime is different from the manga, that said I still enjoy anime that do stay true to their manga. Yeah I had seen some people saying they didn't like rv which is why I didn't get round to it for so long... then again I heard so many negative things about Madoka that I put off watching it for awhile and it turned out to possible be my favourite anime of all time. In short forum critics are idiots who think disliking something makes them look like they know what they are talking about. IMO.
