Hey guys,
I'd love a discussion thread. Although I couldn't marathon it because of, er, slow procurement.
I could start from next week.

The solution to this is both affordable and effective. All that is required is the use of a small screen as opposed to a large one. With such measures in place, differences in resolution between various media become negligable. One can but admit that this suffers drawbacks, though it is a solution to the issue at hand nonetheless.ayase said:

My small screen went to the tip when I upgraded to an HDTV Zin5ki. I neither had the space for it, nor the inclination to keep it after a strange blue glow appeared on the screen.
I could use my laptop, but the native resolution of its 17" screen is in fact higher than that of my 1080p television...

Welcome to the NHK 20-end
Good stuff. At some point I started loving the second ED and now I've bought it on iTunes, so I can feel miserable yet hysterically hopeful at the same time wherever I happen to be. The series was strong throughout and I liked the end even with the change in tone in the later episodes. That was the weakest spoiler ever - being careful!
Neo Angelique Abyss 1-4
Err...so far the most attractive and interesting character is actually the main girl, which is a bit of a problem in a bishounen harem show. There's no character development at all (ok, it's only 4 episodes in but it's a very short series!). I have high hopes for the flouncy green haired chap in the next episode preview but this show so far hasn't been very good at all. I optimistically bought the second season as well so let's hope it improves.
Strike Witches 1-8
My husband's watching this. Unfortunately, my desk is in the same room as the TV, so I am suffering through it too. It's even more absurd and dumb than expected, though it is providing us with a lot of laughs as we make fun of everything.
Slayers Revolution 1-4
We're watching this together so it's slow progress. Love it so far! I was a pretty ferocious Slayers-otaku back in the day so had some concern this might not have the same spark at first, but it's actually perfect. The sequel will be preordered in my next big purchasing session.
Kujibiki Unbalance 1-12
The next episode previews were always better than the episodes themselves. This show wasn't actually that bad despite the horrible character designs and pointlessness of it all. It was a joke carried on far longer than was necessary though and I really didn't care about anything that happened. Solidly "meh".
Gundam 00 second season 1-7
I was meant to be waiting on the Beez release until I suddenly cracked and bought R1. It's important to me to see as much 00 as I can before my trip this summer as I'll be on the merchandising trail for it and want to limit spoilers. I know a lot of people ignore 00 now it's out in R1 and fashionable to hate on it but as Neo Angelique Abyss sadly shows, pretty faces aren't enough to hold my interest alone. The new, older character designs are stunning and the plot so far is great. Sergei is moe now. Season 2 is doing a superb job of picking up on loose ends from the original run and giving them a tug, so it doesn't feel horribly bolted on like Gundam Seed Destiny did.
The second volume isn't out for a while yet and I can't stand it. I'll switch back to Beez's version if they catch up by the time I'm back from my holidays.

I should warn you, I felt the second season went a bit downhill around the mid-point ish, only Ali's return and That whore Nena's death kept me going. It wasn't terrible, but as slightly inferior second seasons go I preferred Code Geass R2

I was under the impression that everyone didn't care about 00 because it was in the way of Code Geass R2 and the latest Gundam since the ill-fated Gundam Seed Destiny.ilmaestro said:Really?Rui said:I can only put this down to "it's fashionable to hate on everything".
Glad to hear you're secretly enjoying Strike Witches.

Finished Neo Angelique Abyss season 1 last night. It remained steadfastly mediocre and shallow, though the character designs are at least very pretty. I'll take a break before starting season 2.
Argh, four more episodes left ;p
It might be bearable if the whole pants thing was removed (poor choice of wording here by me) and the focus was entirely on the older, less annoying girls.
We've also started Lucky Star, which is better because the characters wear clothes more often. I'm not too sure about it in general yet though. A few more episodes are needed to form a solid opinion.
On 00, I checked out the review for the volume I watched the other day on ANN - second post started, "A B+ for this heap of disappointing and messy faecal matter?". I don't get it either, but there's a certain class of anime watcher which seems to immediately feel the need to hate on things as soon as they are "popular" without bothering to explain why.
Even if 00's quality drops for the rest of season 2, I felt the first volume more then gave me enough value to continue buying. Annoying that the movie is due out in September rather than August...grr.
