    Saw Ponyo yesterday: a good movie but a very average Miyazaki: perfect if you still have a child soul

    I'm onto Ideon since last week: it's rather hard to get into it, mainly because of the old animation and the slow pace of the story but I like it. A lot of elements are similar to Macross: it seems that Ideon was not a source of inspiration for Eva only...

    That's a Super Dimensional DVD

    Wasn't it supposed to be a movie?

    Wasn't it from a novel instead, written by the Strougatski brothers?

    I have but I didn't like it: you're the second one to tell me this on this very thread, I seriously begin to think I should give another try to this show

    Yesterday having been a hard wake up, I decided not to start the comp' and began to rewatch Blue Gender instead of continuing onto SRW: watched the 11 first eps in a row 'cause this show owns

    I didn't like the OVA series: maybe I'll give another try to it one day though As for the games, I don't own a GBA but I wish the PS2 ones to be released in the west before the end of times... At least one

    Finished watching Ride Back the day before yesterday: it's not a bad anime at all and the political stuff was rather interesting but the whole show was too short to really develop this aspect of the story; it's a shame because it really had a good potential... The mecha designs were original and rather funny but also underused IMO (i.e. not enough action scenes) Now, I'm onto Super Robot Wars Original Generation: about 4 eps so far and it looks promising, or at least very different than I expected

    After a hiatus, I came back to anime a few days ago with the Gurren Lagann movie: it has its strong points, but almost all of them come from the footage of the original series; the rest is watchable but disappointing, mainly because of its awkward pace. All in all, it's the typical "TV series to movie" fail I began watching Rideback yesterday. I love how the "hero" of the show finds itself piloting the main mecha of the story: a bit of originality doesn't hurt. Second ep was more expected but rather entertaining nonetheless; I think I'll keep watching the whole series

    I was kidding...

    You mean, "If Gundam had come to the west earlier as a butchered series it may have stood a good chance" ? C'mon: all it would have done is the guys at MAHQ bitch about this as much as we do here on Robotech... /Me wonders what additional show Macek would have chosen for this

    It seems Gundam is popular nowadays: I'm rewatching 0083 at the moment For the little story, I heavily played the Zeon campaign of MS Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon recently, so it made me want to rewatch it

    Finished Kurogane no Linebarrels a few days ago: it's very average but not as uninteresting as some people said when it began to air; actually, it's quite funny sometimes Otherwise, I watched Cobra The Animation: The Psychogun which was disappointing: the pacing of the story was not good and most of these eps looked like fillers. Though, plenty of action and humour make it a watchable show...

    And a full, 52 eps series, F-91 According to Simmons' Official Guide, this story happens one century after Char's Counterattack and is presented as a "story of the Third Universal Century", whatever it means...

    Same here I'll give a try to the 2 or 3 next eps though, just in case...

    Still looking for this one Since years...

    One hard fact I can give you, and I already mentionned it pages ago in this thread (it was 3 or 4 years ago though, so many of you may not have read it...), well, there's no reference at all to HG in the french edition of M7 Trash by Glénat (which is not exactly a small publisher in Euro, actually it's one of the biggest comics editor around): I own every volume and none of them have HG written anywhere It seems to me that these so-called worldwide rights actually are limited to the US...

    I think Manhattan is more the symbol of military nuclear power, that is something very powerful but unable to take its own decision and always controled by someone else (the guy who has the finger on the button); on the human side, it's also more interesting to consider this super hero as having all powers except the most important: the power to take a decision Concerning the removal of Intrinsic Fields, I clearly remember one of the big head of the research labo (the one where Jon was disintegrated...) saying that the exact circumstances of this accident couldn't be reproduced again. Think about it: if creating super heroes was as simple as that, every nuclear powered nations in the world of Watchmen would have their own Dr. Manhattan...

    Mac II's destroids look cool: I like how the designers revamped them Actually, I like almost all Mac II's mecha designs, especially the VF-2SS; even the Marduk zentrans have good-looking mechas, though they look weird sometimes (pods without legs... arf...) but this weirdness fits them well IMO

    Mmmh... Not really: Maximilien, in particular, is rather rare, because it is pretty "old" and therefore sounds snobbish I think; on the other hand, one of our most famous singer is called Mylene (Farmer is her last name: probably a pseudonym though...) but of course this has nothing to do with M7

    It may be something like that, yes... I don't remember all the details of this movie 'cause I watched it years ago but I thought it was very good, precisely because of its "out of time" atmosphere: it is probably very symbolistic but like almost all works of this kind cannot be appreciated by everybody, just because these symbols don't obligatory interest anyone It is definitely art, and precisely surrealism: that's the main reason why some people will not like it; exploring unconscious is often a very personnal journey

    I'm still on it, and it's not bad at all, though it's not very good either: all in all, an average show but enjoyable nonetheless
