About that episode, what I thought even more amusing than the Iron Chef parody was that they seem to have the "five second rule" in Japan, too. Not to mention who it was, of all people, that commented on it.

Tsukuyomi Moon Phase - Good setting and supporting cast.
Mai-HiME - Most fun overall.
Bleach - Decent. Nothing earth-shattering, but good for a watch.

... and this is actually all I'm still watching. I didn't care for anything else I saw that's airing currently.

Well this will bite them in the ass ... they just haven't realised it. I'm going to have to disagree here. This is a Japanese company, so unless you buy the Japanese/R2 DVDs of a series, the people this is going to bite in the ass aren't the Japanese companies like Media Factory, but the companies ...

Eva. For one thing, there's a problem with a show if you can go a third of the way through it before you find a single character that is remotely likeable. When you add this to the fact that the last third or so of the series is completely nonsensical and takes itself way, way too seriously it makes...

He's referring to the licensed DVD release of the series. Vol 3 is the third disk in the release, vol 4 is the fourth and so on. I watched most of ROD the TV a while ago, and I've got to say about vol 3, that if I hadn't seen the next episode then the two month wait between eps 12 and 13 would be a ...

CO2A seems to have this curse where his artwork kicks ass, but the anime series they're related to end up, well, sucking.

This sounds like it could be interesting, though, so I hope it doesn't suffer from said curse. Any idea when it starts?

@ ZyreX Ooh, thanks, that's a pretty nice variation. Though, I'm sort of thinking of maybe a different image of Saber. Or Rin. Or Caster... Well, probably not Caster, there aren't enough images of her out there. @ Circle There've actually been people who translate games around for quite a while now....

My desktop. I've actually been using this one for the past few months. I was considering changing recently, but after playing through the newly translated FATE/stay night demo the other day I've decided to stick with it for a while longer. Ah, and the resolution should be 1280 x 1024, but I shrunk ...

Top o Nare! 2 / Gunbuster 2 The main character so far is one of the most irritating characters I've seen in a long time, much less among the ranks of main characters. From the first episode there really is no plot given, aside from that the main character wants to be a space pilot, and there are so...

Having just checked out the trailer available on the Uta-Kata website I have to say... Keiji Goto sure seems to have lost all semblance of the creativity that his character designs used to have. There's even someone who looks exactly like a young Armblast. It's kind of sad, really. Anyway, after wat...

I remember watching the old, short promo for this quite a while ago and it sparked my interest. Now that it's finally come out I just watched the first episode and it's looking quite good. Definately looking forward to more of this one.

Is it just me or is the thought of a blatantly caucasian girl like MJ Hart playing the role of a "Ryoko" a little weird?

If you were stuck as the only interesting character for the first dozen episodes alongside the rest of SEED's cast I'm sure you'd snap too.

Glad to help. And I know what you mean about wanting to see the rest of it. I didn't think much of the series when I first heard about it, but then about a month and a half ago I had the opportunity to meet Johnny Young Bosch for a bit, and he suggested it to me and a friend of mine. So, I picked up...

Volume 5 (the Best Buy near me put it out a week early for no apparant reason) has the specs for the Disith warships
