Too Good For You
So by second episode, it looks like it's going to be Twelve Monkeys: the anime, which is a huge huge huge plus. On the other hand, no matter how hard I try, I just can't find it in myself to like the characters. The designs are ugly and uninspired, and every time the main girl shouts "I hate the occult!" I just want to crap my spleen out.

I LOVE the designs. The main character has the most awesome facial expressions ever!

I like how the protagonist is a Tsundere towards the occult, and how it was lampshaded. "That word didn't exist in 1999!"
By the way, did we have mobile phone cameras in 1999 at all?

Seconding Arilou.
^ The Other Wiki says there were some projects to design a camera phone, but that
The first commercial camera phone complete with infrastructure was the J-SH 04, ... marketed from 2001Incidentally, I really hate how dowdy Abe Minoru looks. I think it's the combination of light green suit with orange tie...which makes me think of a carrot, or something.

Is the future!cellphone being the Key, and therefore the source of a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, too obvious to come true?
Now that I think about it, why did the photo with the skull show Maya's future instead of the mirror's?

"That word didn't exist in 1999!"
Is it true? I wasn't into anime at the time...

Oh. My. God. Her name. Maya. As in "calendar". How did I not notice this instantly?

So, Aliens, Espers, and Time travelers who also happen to be Espers. All we need now is a Rei clone.
"That's not how it works here. First, we have to argue incessantly over semantics. Then, one of us has to hurt one or all of us."
I'd love to see a crossover with Maya and Haruhi in the same room...
Maya would do Nietzsche proud.
Wrath of God
I love this show. But then she had to go tsundere-mode. Please, Maya, I WANT to like you!
I'm actually starting to like her whole "Occul—" "*glare*" routine.
The Vice prez is just annoying, though. Ms. Dango head indeed. >_>
But Episode 4 was quite good. I like that they include what otherwise might have been minor characters in the main story.

Better this time around. Having difficulty finding anything to like about Abe, though.
^ I think that's the point, he's the Butt-Monkey.
I loved the part when they startled JK and Smile, i lol'd.

The series is good enough on it's own, but I could seriously watch it solelyfor Maya's facial expressions.
They need tobe turned into icons for posterity.

I see the Awesomeness.
They are really good. I especially liked the response to "I never even thought of you that way".
Fight smart, not fair.
Wrath of God
Shipping Bunmei and Mikaze like the fist of the north star
is Maya being jealous I wonder?

Is the pope catholic?

Depends on whether you're a Discordian or not.
Episode 5's ending was scary as fuck.

I just took at as her thinking he meant it in a "I don't find you attractive at all" way.
