FullMetal*Panic!

Just recently began airing. I think the second episode is out by now... Anyway, I just watched the first ep and... WOW. Incredible animation and character designs plus an intriguing story (it's based on The Count of Monte Cristo, after all). http://www.gankutsuou.com/ Check it out. It's beautiful.

Kira grew a mullet. All hope is lost.

It's too bad that fansubs have been slow in coming out (in English, at least... there's a French group...) because this show gets even more awesome with each episode. Having just watched 9, I can safely say it's even funnier than 6. Now, for a brief summary... The group comes to a checkpoint, where ...

The more I think about it, the more this could turn into Zeta... You've got the fresh faced, idealistic youngster (Camille/Shin) with a brand spanking new, technologically advanced Gundam (which will almost certainly be obsolete halfway through the series and require an upgrade of some sort, possibl...

Am I the only one who's still watching this? Seriously, we should stop harking on Bakuretsu Tenshi and start watching Samurai Champloo. It's THAT good. Not only is it funny as hell but they've got an actual developing story line. I'm not going to summarize all the recent eps but I want to do six sin...

Half the characters look like Athrun... Shin is "Young Athrun After Getting a Haircut" and Gilbert is "Older Athrun, Having Forsaken Haircuts." The chick in the skirt is Lunamaria Hawk, apparently... Shin's love interest, most likely. I want to see how Kira and Lacus will fit into this. I mean, they...

You know, the series is half over and they have yet to develop a real, continuing story. Just a bunch of two part stories. Assuming the writers were to, suddenly, pull a story out of their collective asses, does anyone think it could save the series and make it into something more than a mediocre (a...

I agree with Reaper. I'd really like to see maybe a 13 episode OAV detailing the situation with Spike and Vicious in the syndicate, maybe in a John Woo A Better Tomorrow type thing. Not only would it be more Bebop action, it would give everything more depth without getting stale and being just stupi...

I've pretty much stopped watching the show but I'm relying on this thread to tell me when and if a decent, continuing plot develops, so I'm all for the discussion continuing.

Waiving the revolver and thumbing the hammer back, he grinned as his friend. “Whaddya’ say we score some booze and whatever t...

Not too much discussion in this thread, which is sad because Samurai Champloo is pretty awesome... But, without further ado, episode three! Spoilers! This episode pays homage to the old Akira Kurosawa movie Yojimbo (a personal favorite of mine ^_^). Things open with the Fuu complaining loudly to Mug...

Hey, all I want is a nice, innocent, moving, Kiddy Grade-esque scene between Meg and Jo.

And, considering the recent trends in anime, I think I'm gonna get it.

Regardless of how her name is spelled... I'm hoping for some girl-on-girl lovin' by the end of the show.

Anyone else seen 7 yet? Since no one else has... Spoilers! Kyohei actually goes on a date with a normal girl from his cooking school to an international food convention. Afterwards, while walking through a cemetery, she's kidnapped by a giant robotic crow seen in the episode introduction. When the p...

I trust you all slept well.” That is how Tessa addressed the assembled pilots and support crews in the hangar of the Excalibur at 6:15 sharp. The sun had only just risen and damn near ever...
