From what I've seen of ToonamiGAF's reactions, you should be in for a ride.
Madoka did it better.

Burrrn!
Though I know you make this comment with nothing but love for Gainax, /XX/.
Sounds bad, man. (As expected)
Also, I'm going to have to start counting the times you actually publicly drop a show!

Well you certainly seem them employed in from time to time between Sunrise and BONES but it's still fairly rare. I was mainly talking about Macross going downhill though!
Judging by the posts on fairy Tail episodes it's at the beginning of the latest arc in the manga, I do wonder where they're going to stuff in filler though so they don't catch up.
And yes, I think Ixion DT is weening me into watching a secret Yaoi show, or something.
Outside of the initial and persistant motivation of one the girls, yes, yes it was.

Isaac has a kind streak it seems. Offered $10 million to enact justice? Take the job for $3 million. Client gets offed immediately after accepting and no hope of payment? Do it anyhow because that's how justice is served. Criminals in this are so about overkill too. Let's send a runway vehicle at some kids to off them but let's throw a bomb in the front seat. Just to be sure. :lol
Dat future tech.
This is how crime is committed in the future: with huge robots!

And that's the episode that killed the OVA!
It happens more often than you think; I just don't always announce it! The last five shows that I dropped as they were airing were probably...hmm...
- Aoi Sekai no Chuushin de
- Teekyuu
- Tari Tari
- Campione
- Utakoi
And that just goes back to the beginning of summer.

To think such a potentially entertaining concept would be handled so badly. Ah well, it would hardly be the first time.

Hmm, I see.
Perhaps, I get too caught up in the sheer amount of shows you do post on.

Wait, what was that thing Rubinsky was in that people seemed to appear and disappear from? That was weird.
edit: I think the thing that sticks with me about this episode is that the High Admirals suddenly are not just uptight pompous military figures and appear to actually have lives and quirks.
Haven't slept in 24 hours, brb.
This is the first time we've seen Reuenthal openly (at least to himself) pondering how he's gonna take over Reinhard's throne. Holy fuck.
Watching Reinhard in aspects of life other than military and political ones is extremely moé. Nice to see he's becoming a connoisseur of the arts, but more importantly, him developing balls and finally mustering the courage to confront Fraulein Mariendorf on the marriage proposal. But damn dude, that's like a death sentence. You need to watch more animu.

I thought it was still kind of too early to start animating the current arc. I guess they could really slow down the pace or drag out many of the events, the OP seems to even have really recent stuff.
The original writer is working on that at the moment, I believe. And that new title might get adapted... eventually.

I didnt think it was that terrible, though I guess I did go in in with really low expectations. Why drop it when its only like an episode every few months, might as well stick with it.
Nice. Thanks for this.
I think I vaguely remember catching one of the Macross movies on the Sci-Fi channel years ago but I have little to no memory of what happened or even which one it might've been.
There's so many results by just searching on MAL so I had no idea where to begin lol

I'd imagine it was the movie edition of Plus. OVAs are the way to go there.
It's kind of baffling. Why draw inspiration from video game characters at all if the show isn't really going to parody anything? The console war premise pretty much stops at the fact that there are Sega and Nintendo-themed kingdoms at war with each other.
Normally I'd just stick with it, but if I saw a character speak another line like this:
I might just curl up into a ball and stay there for several days.

I remember going to Anime Expo (I believe it was 07 or 08) and some friends and I went to the Gurren Lagann movie screening. Afterwards the staff had a panel and answered questions and what-not.
Then they decided to give us a sneak preview of their hot new upcoming show and seeing a bunch of people coming off of the high of a Gurren Lagann movie with huge expectations from GAINAX and seeing... that was one of the funniest hype deflations I'd seen in a while.
With Macross: Do You Remember Love? as the example, we can see that those youngsters & self-declared fans that worked on it are still over there, continue on the industry... just not on the same level of involvement, obviously. It is sad to see how it seems they can't pass on to the newer folks what they accomplished themselves at their prime; their sparkly passion (these herbivores of today, tsk tsk...).
It's easy solution time! Just put them together again for another crazy one-off project!
O.K., you got me, I was semi-defending them... but I'm also realistic and know duckroll is right on this, I only wanted to tease him a little.
Now excuse me, I'm going to cry in a corner remembering what they used to be...
But not cool 'à la Godard', isn't it? Hanamaru Yōchien was that cool.

These episodes alwayhs have weird space facts in them. It'd probably qualify as edutainment if the bar set by Element Hunters is anything to go by. Of course treating space suits like they're scuba gear might prevent that. Can't have kids wandering around in space with the wrong info in their heads.
That said, the idea of a rally race in a gap in Saturn's rings is fucking cool. It's amusing to see Bowie has as much of a reason to be so disenchanted by the world as the Blaster Kid did given the show effectively begins with teaming everyone up with a "Hey, you. You're on the team."
Those guns? Bryger ejected two space motorcycles that transformed into them.

Well it looks like you can probably recover before the next episode airs according to the initial press release.

This is supposed to make me not want to watch the show?

Working your way through something chronologically is usually the best plan of attack. Usually.
The episode has a ton of c-tier ecchi humor. More accurately, it just has characters say perverted things with the expectation that the audience will find it inherently funny but there's not a lot of actual humor behind any of what's said so it just comes off as awkward and flat.
Yes. That screencap would make me not want to watch it.

Why is Link an asshole? Why does Mario have a sword? Why was Sonic's speed obtained rather than natural? Why would Tetris be so obsessed with sex if he's just going to disappear upon connecting with someone?
I kind of like this.

PKing and factions? Hell yeah.
I liked this one for the same reason I really enjoyed the first: it sort of scratches the MMO itch that I fight with when I get to watch the characters get a first taste of the world and better acquaint themselves with it. I hope the more lighthearted atmosphere is retained as the seriousness of the SAO "death game" was getting overbearing.
PKing and factions? Hell yeah.
Players exploiting to get pictures of Asuna is hilarious yet true to these sort of games. :lol @ Kirito being all-in for ALO. He would have signed up even if she wasn't there. 
double :lol at his stats/inventory carrying over from SAO. However, the hesitation in deleting his old items? Yeah, that hit too close to home.

If you were a true Gainax fan, you'd have appreciated art meeting life with a Gainax ending to call your own.
Errr, yeah, I have absolutely no idea where to start with NeraGaku. it's... an odd, odd movie. The tone was pretty much the exact opposite of what anyone seemed to be expecting - it's kind of moe-moe, it's incredibly comedic. It's almost like it's channelling KyoAni at times, having a very similar sense of humour...
It's also an incredibly confusing mess, narratively. It makes not a lick of sense by the time you get to the end, and doesn't really deliver much in the way of, well, schools in peril, or psychic school wars, inspite of its title. BluWacky, who at least has the benefit of having seen the 1981 live action version, thinks that it's expecting you to have read the original short story in order to piece together what's actually going on. For those of us who haven't, we get a comedy trip to the beach in the middle of a typhoon right when you'd be expecting the climatic battle...
Yeah, it's odd. Xenoglossia-level subversive, really. It's just kind of peculiar that a movie which claims to be about communication fails to actually communicate what it going on in a coherent fashion. Might be the point, I guess. I think the people who left before the end of the credits may have a completely different impression of the ending, too.
It is a fairly pretty movie, though, short some slightly-too-frequently used CGI ocean shots (Enoshima again, by the way). Mostly decent character animation, if exaggerated in terms of the lack of gravity at times. Lots of lens flair. Lots of cherry blossoms, too.
I'm pretty sure the movie is going to pick up a fan base purely for the heroines, though...

HOLY SHIT!
HOLY SHIT!
Aw, man, shit's about to go down. Hidden camera in the break room; how did I not see THAT one coming from a mile away. It's official now; Makoto's a lying, two-timing shitbag and EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. Including Sekai. The floor beneath Makoto's feet are collapsing, and oh how glorious it shall be!
Kotonoha really just became one pathetic creature. To be in such denial... damn that must suck. Props to Setsura for finally-finally!-getting Makoto to officially break it off with her... and then fuck her ass for going down on him herself. Some friend you are.
But, hey, that's minor. All that's important is that Makoto is going to have to answer for his actions...
...
AND I HAVE TO FUCKING WAIT BECAUSE MY AC ADAPTER FOR MY LAPTOP CRAPPED OUT ON ME SO I NEED A NEW ONE. FUCK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bahahah what a terrible time to have that happen
One thing I failed to mention earlier, Jexhius; Hayao Miyazaki & Co., may miss people like Mr. Kanada with nowadays lack of expertise in mechanical animation (http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=40106848&postcount=148), but I'm sure they will absorb for the production of their next movie much of the talent available on that field, and you... and me, and everyone will have their fix on beautiful animated machinery. Amazingness awaits, I'm sure of it:
