crasis Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Neither of us have seen Gurren Lagann and I personally am not in a rush to see any Gainax show. Honestly, you guys are missing out on THE anime series of the past 10 years or so, hands down. I'm not a Gainax fanboy at all, and initially wrote this one off as more wanking from them. But on a whim, I decided to watch a few episodes, just to see what all the fuss was about. I then found myself watching the ENTIRE series in about a day. It's just that good. If you think Macross 7 is over the top fun, just wait until you see the epic WIN that is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (emphasis on EPIC!)!

If you go back to the original discussions about the series, I was really close to writing it off after the first episode, but admitted that what I saw amused me, so I kept watching. Boy, am I glad I did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy, am I glad I did! Thirded. Its probably the best mecha anime made in the last decade (though frontier may change that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginrai Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 There's not a lot of point of reviewing a series every other podcast has already reviewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 There's not a lot of point of reviewing a series every other podcast has already reviewed. Its not about reviewing it. Its about basking in its glory, and celebrating its greatness. Its red meat, porn, and guns, all wrapped up into one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginrai Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm also usually too busy to watch a whole TV series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubaba Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 So...when are you going to do Dynamite 7? I'm interested in your take on Mylene almost getting space raped by a space lesbian after drinking the spiked space juice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubaba Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 See, that is what I was talking about... I'm JOKING! Please don't use my words to further more Mac7 hate. Every time you say something bad about Macross 7, Geperunitchi sucks all the spiritia out of a kitten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time you say something bad about Macross 7, Geperunitchi sucks all the spiritia out of a kitten. I don't hate, I'm just not happy with the direction Kawamori took. Its like the Jar Jar stepping in poo jokes, I just don't get it. I really like alot of the music, I love the opening, and I really enjoyed the episode with the Meltrandi fleet. Hell, I wish the entire series had gone down that road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GogDog Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) You guys need to bring back the feedback at the beginning! I have listened to nearly episode, and I miss that from the later ones.

I really like alot of the music, I love the opening, and I really enjoyed the episode with the Meltrandi fleet. Hell, I wish the entire series had gone down that road. To be quite honest, I do too. Episode 44 ("Nightmarish Invasion") was also as close to a mecha-lover's dream as Mac7 gets. If someone hates Macross 7, I can understand why. If someone adores Macross 7, I can also understand why. me, I'm still kind of on the fence about it, but as I just watched episodes 43-45 today, right now I'm firmly in a "Hell yeah I'll listen to Basara's song!" phase. So forgive me if I get a little too fired up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or more importantly, the direction Tetsuro Amino took. And the Maltrandi fleet episode is totally jokey and silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have listened to nearly episode, and I miss that from the later ones. Ginrai, are you Jeremy or Andrew? I'm Jeremy, and we've been getting almost no feedback since the contest ended outside of the couple of posts we get on the blog or if we do something Macross and post it here. Which reminds me, I need to finally post the results of that contest. But seriously, no one has emailed us in months and months.
