Well I mean, ZZ never made it to the states in any form iirc.
F91 is very good, though.
Unicorn is pretty, but otherwise just okay.
I watch way more mecha animethan is healthy.
yes this is me
I have a lot of investment in the UC universe and while sure the themes aren't too far from what's to be expected from Gundam, the writing is just really engaging and touch on some new things to help flesh out the world as it stands in the series' present as well as the past, like the first Spacenoid migration. For the most part the characters are nuanced and not like caricatures or rehashes of old archetypes. It's a love letter to the fans and a clarification on everything that UC Gundam is about and everything just feels fresh and exciting, in my opinion it's the best Gundam in decades.
To be quite honest, my favorite UC anything is 0083.
I just...do not like Banagher. I need to go back and rewatch what's been released of Unicorn back to back. Because as it stands, all the characters are super forgettable to me.
You wanna talk about Eureka seveN? Or Evangelion? RahXephon? Gun X Sword? Escaflowne? COME AT ME, BRO
I don't know if 0083 has really held up too well for me (all of the main characters are pretty unlikable) but I love the music and mech design. The Neue Ziel is one of my favorite robots.
How many episodes of Unicorn have you seen? He's gone through some interesting character development that I guess is pretty standard for a Gundam protagonist, but he comes across as being empathetic rather than whiny.
Eureka 7 I'm halfway through, Evangelion I think is historically important despite the hate it gets, RahXephon has been on my to-watch list for ages, Gun x Sword I'm not familiar with, I've heard good things about Escaflowne but have only seen about 2 episodes, though I have seen Dunbine and enjoyed it up until the ending.
I've seen all of Unicorn. But I've been watching them since the day they started airing, so I need to go back and actually not forget what happens in each individual episode.
Eureka seveN I think is sort of weak until you hit just past halfway into the series where the lore starts pouring out. One of my favorites from recent years.

Anyways I'm gonna sleep because I was supposed to do that an hour ago and have been posting about robots instead, but as a parting gift here is an old endorsement of Giant Robo
First season of Big O is legitimately one of my favorite animes.
Second season less so- it's pretty good but I don't like it for the same reasons I like the first.
Also if you like Big O you should check out the Giant Robo OVA- a lot of the same production staff of Giant Robo basically made Big O in between episodes of the OVA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiTKfVU1J94
Retro 60s-style animation, men in three-piece suits fighting characters from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, music by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. Did I mention it was helmed by the director of G Gundam?
evangelion sounds like it is everything I hate about everything made into a show
take all the worst things about all the terrible jrpg protagonists you can imagine and bundle them into one person with literally 0 redeeming features and you have eva's main character.
it's fully worth skipping over.

I
still kind of like End of Evangelion
although I actually think the crazy incomprehensible series ending is better, if you can actually piece together what the fuck is going on
no shoe, cartoon planet is back
it's not exactly the same, but it is still pretty decent
and plays johnny bravo
Yeah both those movies had some fantastic animation. Gainax knows its business.
Pretty fucking awesome
Some fantastic animation and leaves on a cliffhanger that leaves me wanting the third movie

well I have boomerang but I'll take more brak and zorak any way I can get 'em
Second one is very good. Though I'm not really sold on the new girl. That could change in the upcoming movies though.
I loved the last ten minutes of the second movie.

nope
it's not the same format as before but it's brak and zorak bookending retro cartoons
powerpuff girls and johnny bravo, i know, i can't remember if they did anything else
hopefully this means we'll get to see the johnny bravo where he goes out with a deer because that episode never gets old
I like the story, I appreciate what it was trying to do, and I like the ideas behind the ending and what Rebuild suggests about it.
But it's hard to watch again. I think listening to the horrible dub commentaries also soured my experience.
Oh god yes that entire scene.
Gorgeous.
I'M DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY 40 IN MY shut up brak
oh fuck
wait
does any part of Rebuild actually address End of Eva
because if it does the implications of that are miiinnndddbblooowwwiiinnnggg
