Nah, the Shiro / Aina thing wasn't really that developed. The whole infatuation was far too quick and shallow. They met like twice and spent a few hours together and then they're suddenly in love and all.

I disagree.  I saw it more as a chance scenario that blossomed into love. These were two soldiers who thought the other side were enemies & evil, but through working together to save each other's lives, something unexpected happened.  It didn't just happen overnight, cause both of them were still focused on their own side of the war, but Shiro still thought about her even despite knowing that the chances of seeing her again were slim to none, especially considering that she was a Zeon soldier.  Through twist of fate, they did meet again, and then realized they had feelings for one another, but even so they had to part once again.  All it took was that second encounter to make Shiro question his involvement in the Federation, and made him realize how much he cared for Aina.  When you meet the right person, a lot of times all it takes is 1 or 2 meetings.  It's similar to Romeo & Juliet.

To me, the story of Shiro and Aina is the truest telling of a romance story, that being one of chance.  That's what love & finding the right person really is all about.  It's about chance encounters.  I honestly thought Domon & Rain would wind up together from the very beginning of G Gundam.  But with Shiro & Aina, going into the series blind, I didn't know.  One could've wound up killing the other, or one could've died saving the other, or they both could've been killed.

Oh, I know! 

[HokutoNoBen]

Just about finished my Sengoku BASARA-a-thon. It's all I got until Sengoku BASARA 3 and Season 2 hit next year, after all.

Might have to give Guin Saga another look, for more manly action.

Yeah, 08th MS Team ended up being one of my fave Gundam series, because I thought this romance was told quite well, along with a number of other things I thought were done well.

Hopefully, one day, I'll once again see another Gundam series that does for me like 08th did. For right now though, the Gundam fan in me has been largely asleep since mid-way through SEED, and beyond Gundam vs. Gundam and various SRW appearances, has little reason to wake up.

08th MS Team is my favorite Gundam series, because I thought it had the best storytelling.

And isn't Gundam Unicorn coming out this winter for you, Ben? 

[HokutoNoBen]

I'll admit, Unicorn does interest me. Especially right on the rebound of that "other announcement" from earlier this year, which resulted in a PS3 game... 

But we'll see if it has what it takes to keep me hooked, beyond the obvious "Red Comet" connection that may exist.

If nothing else, I hope a nice Gundam vs. Gundam game comes from it. The suit designs I like. Katoki does it again!

[Protoman Blues]

LoL, I'm interested in what they do with Mineva Zabi. 

[Sapphire✧9]

I am downloading [spoiler]Ai Shimai ~Futari no Kajitsu~[/spoiler]. I'm sure some people here know it. <.<

[Flame]

Claymore.

wut. Theres Raki with a crush on Clare, and she eventually returns his emotions a "bit" but not enough to call it  "romance" she gives him ONE kiss. and its more action than anything else. that's what it focuses on.

[Gotham Ranger]

[tornado fang], I guess I better put 08th MS Team on my list of Gundams to bother watching. [tornado fang] it, may as well start from the beginning.

Claymore focuses on psychological romance. Not physical. <.<

[Sapphire✧9]

Canaan ep.2, Bakemonogatari ep.2, Umi Monogatari ep.3 and [spoiler]Ai Shimai ep.1-3[/spoiler]. First 3 are still downloading and other one is downloaded but its impossible for me to watch now. Since my parents are at home (THIS.IS.[spoiler]HENTAI[/spoiler]).

i'd say to watch the entirety of UC in timeline order, but then i remembered you have to sit through a horrid OVA before you hit Zeta, and then you might wind up watching the shitty Zeta movie compilation.. >>

[Satoryu]

[spoiler]HENTAI[/spoiler]

be specific.

[Sapphire✧9]

Ep 02 of Bakemonogatari was priceless. Animation style, music style and storytelling is just magnicifient.

[Dr. Wily II]

Started watching Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season (I know it's still airing...), first 5 eps in.
I totally wasn't expecting this season to be half the size of the previous season... I guess they are running out of stuff to animate.
So far, so good.

Posted on: July 15, 2009, 15:00:14Up to ep13 now.
Seeing Hinagiku in a parody Meer Campbell costume, singing Cruel Angel's Thesis... Awesome.

Posted on: July 16, 2009, 21:13:55Lawl triple post.
Caught up to ep15 of HnG!!, thus becoming a weekly watch.
Also finished the Eureka 7 movie.

[Shiki Tohno]

Opinions on said movie?

[Dr. Wily II]

I posted them in the Eureka movie thread.

[Gotham Ranger]

I'm going back through Neon Genesis Evangelion. I didn't catch enough of it for any of it to make sense during its Adult Swim run and I missed the final two eps which is where [parasitic bomb] goes crazy. Again, because of psptube being my only medium, I'm getting the unique experience of getting to watch both Dub and Subs at once. *shrugs* As long as I get everything thats important.

Edit: Just got done watcing End of Evangelion. Jesus holy [tornado fang] almighty, what a headtrip. I've gotta go detox after that.

[Nekomata]

[tornado fang] anime, i'm watching Venture Bros.

[tornado fang] anime, i'm watching Venture Bros.

Good call.

Meanwhile, can anyone give me any idea as to what I'll be getting myself into if I decide to watch Mitchiko To Hatchin or Eden of The East ahead of my "wait for new laptop before watching stuff" schedule? I wouldn't like it if these shows turn out to be great but I can't finish them due to crappy current laptop related issues.

Edit: Thanks Gundamheads above, now I wanna re-watch 08th MS Team as well.
Edit 2: JESUS, I need to visit this thread more for recommendations. GaoGaiGar just got on the list for Kharaxel's post alone.

I have the O.S.I. theme memorized.   

[Shiki Tohno]

Watch Higashi no Eden. Fantastic series for such few episodes. At least (AFAIK) two movies have been confirmed.

[Police Girl]

I'm watching Cowboy Bebop right now, classic so far...
