I think a series that people would love to see on here would be Re Zero.

People that hate Sword Art Online would get a massive kick out of it.

Don't know what it is about Gundam series, but I just can't seem to get into them - G Gundam aside.

That is not the same ending theme.

Why is it not the same ending theme? sad

[up] What? That's the same theme.

While this show has mech-battles it also has an actual plot though. So every episode where there is a big fight, the next episode winds down to cool the tension & advance the plot.

Seriously though, after ep 15, Re Zero deserves to have a bigger audience on TV here in the west.

I would love to see the reactions of casual people that watch it.

If you thought Schinichi experienced Despair.........

[up] Its prolly cause the show was still going on even when it started so it sounded a little different with people talking & screaming over it.

Don't know what it is about Gundam series, but I just can't seem to get into them - G Gundam aside.

G Gundam is the Oddball in the Series for being a Super Robot show. The other shows are Real Robot series with a heavy leaning on politics.

@ Prime: It's an acquired taste. Most of the series are heavy-handed with the politics, whereas G Gundam is an awesomely hot-blooded ham buffet that starts out with the protagonist kicking ass.

@ Maestro: Same ED, just at a different point since it was used as an insert in the episode proper as opposed to Toonami skipping ahead for the credits.

That's a really nice waiting cell.

I was expecting it to be a bit darker and despair-ier.

Well Re:Zero is pretty popular so its possible at least.

I would like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure to come on board too though.

Oh, I'm aware of the difference between G Gundam and the others. [lol] It's part of why I enjoy that one so much more, especially with how silly some elements are.

Other Gundams I always wish to get into, but I find my attention drawn elsewhere. I don't care about the giant robots here and, while I like political stuff in stories, something about their takes just never engage me.

So the first half of the episode consisted entirely of the heroes sitting around doing nothing.

I mean, I appreciate the unhurried pacing, but I'm hoping something a bit more interesting happens in the second half.

It's part of why I enjoy that one so much more, especially with how silly some elements are.

Nothing like two guys punting a skyscraper from out of the ground and 50 feet into the air without their Gundams. While one of them has a broken ankle. Or a horse getting its own Gundam. Or the fact that every country's Gundam is National Stereotypes personified.

But yeah, I hear you. SEED was a slog for me but I made it through MSG, Wing, and 00 no problem, so it kind of varies by series, too.

Does group conflict sound interesting enough? Because I think that's what we'll be getting for the rest of the episode.
