This week I finally forced myself to finished ZZ Gundam. God that took forever and I'm so glad it's done. The show definitely got better but the show just flopped everywhere. It was tonally a mess and there were weird episodes even towards the end. There were also a lot of weird fillerish episodes that didn't deserve to be in there. A lot of the Dakan episodes most notably. The beginning episodes were pretty trash. The only obscenely bad episodes in the whole show for me though were Moon-Moon and the Tigerbaum episodes actually. The stupid harem thing was just retarded. I don't really have a lot more to say since I've talked about the show in many past weeks. Overall the show is a 7 for me I think. Does it deserve that? Probably not. I really just have a massive hard on for Gundam so it get's too many points for cool suits and good production values. Overall the show feels incredibly skippable. I absolutely would not recommend someone watching UC gundam for the first time to sit through it. It's horribly paced with many bad episodes. The show actually has very little plot in that not much really happens on the greater scale of things. It can all be summarized very easily I should think.
Digi Charat(16/16) So yea I wanted something a bit silly to watch right after ZZ. The end of Gundam series are always so emotionally taxing for me... So Digi Charat. For those of you who don't know it's a collection of 16 3 minute long shorts. It's a weird and bizarre little moe comedy sketch show from the late 90's basically. But I liked it. It's actually fairly funny with a lot of amusing gags. The music is pretty amusing too. Nothing of any substance here that is worth talking about but it was fun.
Ulysses 31(2/26) So... This is a 80's kids show produced by a japanese and french studio together from what I've heard. It is basically a space retelling of the Odyssey complete with Ulysses the Space Moses, 2 kids, and an annoying robot sidekick. That said the show is actually very good for a kid show. It's graphics are surprisingly great considering it's age. The plot is decent enough and the show manages to be really fun to watch if nothing else. I won't be watching anymore of this show I suspect since I really only did it since someone mentioned it on /r/anime in a somewhat interesting way.
The Big O(3/26) What I actually intend to watch next. This show really does feel like Batman+mecha. A lot of ideas feel straight out of Batman and the character's feel very comic esque. So it's pretty great. I'll finish it by next week and post my full thoughts on it then.
