Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
I decided to veer off my usual anime route and I just started watching Code Geass like 2 minutes ago. Can't be to horrible based on its popularity.
No. It's pretty shitty. Your funeral though if you want to watch it. AALLL HEEIRU BRITANNIAAAAH
But... it's not an anime! :o37 of ZZ Gundam o:
So I finished Code Geass and it lived up to my (low, thanks to fffA's [may I call you that just once?] comments) expectations.
The last thing I watched? Something called Gunparade March. It's... not terribly good. Nice mech design, yes, but the concept of a high school class being the military's secret weapon is ridiculously cliche'd and it was a fairly stupid idea to begin with. It looked better on the cover art though...
But... it's not an anime! :o
(regardless, ++ for great taste and omg you're about thirty episodes ahead of me)
I liked Kamille and Amuro because they were anti-social idiots. Moreso because they actually faced the consequences of being anti-social idiots. Brightslaps ftw. :DAhaha I love that song. ZZ's probably my personal favorite of the UC timeline along with 08th MS Team. I really like Judau much more than Kamille and Amuro, and Puru is... cute >.>
F91 is so much wasted potential that it hurts. :(been blowing through Gundam series though, since I've made it my goal to get through every gundam series before the fall semester starts, minus the crap like SEED and Destiny. Just watched F91, and started Victory Gundam this morning!

Also, my favourite UC show would be 0080. All-grunt fights, competent women pilots, beautiful animation and just the right length for a series... pretty much Gundam at its best. 08th is also good for similar reasons, though it's been ages since I watched it.

And SEED's not *that* bad. It had great music and mech designs!
Destiny, I haven't watched yet. But eh, if I enjoyed Geass R2 in a trainwrecky sort of way then I guess I can enjoy that.
edit: oh... and the burning question for any gundamhead at the moment. What do you think of AGE? :o
I only know Garrod from Super Robot Wars, but he seems like a cool guy. That mission in @G where Judau and Garrod sell their Gundams and Usso is all "guys this is not a good idea" was hilarious!that's actually partly why I liked Garrod in X >.>
But Wing had ugly mech designs and... a good soundtrack... erm, you might have a point. :3The same can be said of any bad Gundam series though D:
I don't think I'll be watching it. I don't hate AGE for being targeted at a younger audience - hopefully the show will introduce new fans to Gundam (would be especially great if AGE gets localised and becomes popular like Naruto, Digimon, etc. because mecha sure as hell needs a PR boost in the English-speaking world) - but at the same time I don't think I could sit through a whole episode. The designs and the general atmosphere of the show seem just too kiddy, though I suppose one shouldn't make these assumptions before it's even aired.Now I'm not sure what to think of AGE. animation looks a little silly to me, but that's mostly me just wishing they'd go back to hand-painted cels instead of digital animation. I'll probably end up watching it though. It's airing in October, right? That'll give me something to watch alongside Persona 4 :D
