Since the average rating of E7 in animenfo is also 9.3, I decided to download E7 1-13, 14-26 and 27-39 torrent batches. I hope the show is at least decent to warrant downloading 9GB and uploading 18GB. (my personal target share ratio is 2:1 )

I had like 10:1 for a while, but then the uni mailed me and said "WTF?"

Hell, at our school, they give judicial strikes for "illegal file-sharing."

I can understand what you're saying about your opinion of it after 10 or so episodes.  After the relatively dramatic opening three-parter, the series does slow down somewhat, spending several episodes focused mostly on character exposition and development.  (I'm not saying that these episodes are bad, but they do have more of a deliberate pacing to them.  There are also plenty of plot points in there, although from all I've been told, they probably won't make much sense until you get much further into the series.)  It's actually right after episode 10 that we start to get into some of the heavier plot stuff, and that's where the series really starts to set itself apart; episode 12, in particular, is probably one of the trippiest half-hours of TV you'll ever see (but in a good way, mind you ).  From what I've been told, the episode I just saw, 20, pretty much marks the point where the series takes off on all cylinders, and from this end, it's easy to see how that's the case.  This isn't really the type of series for those who want instant gratification, but from all the comments I've heard about it, everyone who gave it a chance and stuck with it for a little while ended up completely hooked before too long.

Colonol Dekker - "I've never heard of Adult Swim, and to be honest i dont think i'll be following this line of thought much"


HERESY!   


From what I've seen it's visually appealing, obviously has drawn out character/story depth, and not too dificult to add a factor of "suspension of disbelief" even on the surfboard issue...

Ya know? Like in the 70's all those mecha I fell in love with that are way too heavy or awkward to actually move or fly right (with no apparent mechanics designed to add thrust or elevation for such huge and ungaunly masses..) BUt is that REALLY important? It was entertaining!

And from the above description, Renton sounds better than my initial impression of "Shinji-lite"  getting better all the time...

Gundam Guyver Patlabor and a bit of MD Geist FTW !

I watched E7 eps 1-10 yesterday. So far I am not overly impressed but not downright disappointed either. What puts me off the most, are the two main characters who are 14-16 year old kids. It's hard to relate and take the characters seriously. Not only that but the characters have been pretty generic types so far, but I hope that to change in the remaining 40 eps.

The domestic situation beggars belief........

It's doing it again! Kicking arse, that is. Just saw ep 27 on Adult Swim Fix, so if anyone is going to watch this on Saturday (probably just Mongoose) thar be spoilers, sort of.
Anyway, I'll just give context-less, awesome details. Ex-Special Forces peeps are a bit daft. Bullet proof vests aren't much good against point blank machine gun bursts to the gut. Exploding corpses, ala Deus Ex and Snake Eater, are hardcore.
That is all.

[Mongoose]

Yeah, I saw it myself.  Very good stuff, although it just can't top last week.  Episode 26 was one of the most beautiful half-hours of entertainment I've ever seen.

[redmenace]

Next couple of episodes are awesome BTW.

[redsniper]

Ep 26 was great except that that whole rainbow pseudo-seven swell thing didn't quite jive with me. My favorite part by far was when Charles was out in his LFO trying to nab Eureka and she was dodging all over the place, while the whole time that awesome orchestral music was playing in the background. Just... wonderful.

[kode]

the whole series' all pretty ****ing awesome. 'cept the g'damn ending, obviously.

but then again, it's BONES we're talking about. they've never let me down. anyone who likes this one should check out kenran butoh sai for more excellent character-driven mecha anime. (and of course rahxephon)

[redsniper]

* redsniper has just seen the second to last episode.

* redsniper is bricking shats.

[Fury]

Huh, you're pretty late to the party.

[Desert Tyrant]

meh, the show is just too ****ing generic, and the skybording robot thing makes it imposable for me to take it seriusly.

Exactly... Ironic coming from somebody whos trying to find NGE DVDs

[redsniper]

Huh, you're pretty late to the party.

I've been watching it on TV, at one episode per week.
