Not really, a remake would be the same story. FMA brotherhood only has 10 episodes that coincide with the original.
So I should or should not watch Helsing first and then watch Ultimate?
Some places are listing Ultimate as an OVA. But that seems to not be the case.

You don't have to watch them in any order. Helsing TV has been declared non-canon by the creator however. I have both, and I like both. What matters is you eventually watch the Team Four Star abridged version.

If you watch them both, probably watch the original first, just so you don't have to deal with the animation downgrade. And Ultimate was an OVA series, the releases were very spread out.
Right, so first things first: Eden of the East is an absolute amazing anime, very different from the usual. The whole intriguing plot, the characters all are older than the usual, the investigation the author did, hell, the motto "Noblesse Oblige", which I completely did not know about is a beautiful one and I really like it's meaning. The funny moments it had were welcome and pretty good and well-thought, this really is one heck of a good anime. It felt short, but I guess that's why there are movies!
I've been slowly watching this last season's Chaika and I'm enjoying it a lot: Since the whole plot is pretty much the same like the S1's but with some extra revelations and details, there's no down time, all episodes seem to be "GO GO GO".
EDIT: Ok, Log Horizon returned WITH A BANG. This episode was class A of Awesome, one of the best LH episodes yet. It had action, it had humor, it had a bit of love, it had Dragons, it had blatant references, it had "PLOT", it had Tifa, DAMN!
Now, I'm going a bit off-topic. First, I'm proud of these bastards so I'm sharing them
Second, since we were sharing our anime fan stuff, here's mine. As I took pictures of the terminators I decided to take some of my little slice of heaven, also know as "Room". This is what happens when you collect stuff since you can remember, the Power Rangers stuff is probably 20 years old and in almost mint condition. Even the original stickers are decent enough.
Now let's play a game:
- Try counting how many Rei's
- Try counting how many Dragons

Of course one of us has to be. Although he did send me a joke Christmas present FULL of japanese porn and asked for me to wait till Christmas to open it(I not knowing the contents at all)...I waited til Christmas as requested, only to open it at my family get-together with everyone else opening presents. It was an awkward Christmas lunch after that. He got me good.

I was wondering about that too.
Considering he shouted COWABUNGA, no, I have no doubt in my mind. He's even called LEONARDO ffs He dual wields swords. I can only guess it's to avoid copyright problems, HELL, remember "Do you require any healing?" / "No, I just want to eat Pizza." I was in such a fangirl mode with that character.
Btw, Conker249, your brother is fething awesome

never in the field of human conflict, has so much been fired at so many, by so few.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.
Please leave your message after the tone...
I liked that cirst new episode of Aldnoah, but it feels a little disappointing or cheap that every who was executed at the end of the last season mananged to survive.

Disappointment doesn't begin to describe it, such premise at the end of rather dull first season! I guess only in anime bullets applied to the head don't kill. Ah well, at least Tokyo Ghoul put on the show.

Not really disappointed at the characters being still being alive. I knew it was going to be the case that they weren't dead, and their executions weren't done very well to justify them dying anyways. It still doesn't make any sense that Slaine would shoot Inaho. I can see his justification for joining up with Saazbaum though. He's that obsessed with the princess that in order to keep her alive he partnered up with that horrible villain just for the chance to keep her alive. He's even fighting for him now, which seems a little odd considering it would be directly against the Princess' wishes. I'm looking forward to what happens next though!

Spoiler:
I'm not sure what anyone would have expected.No way they could have gone through with it. Assuming the deaths held the only thing left the series could do is maybe have Slaine furiously masturbate to old pictures of the princess every episode.
I watched the first episode of the second season, and it kind of landed on me with all the impact of a cold wet rag. The show killed any good will it had with me last season and it did little to generate any here. I'll give it three episodes like I do with everything I guess. It's seriously still looking to be not worth my time at this point though.
I really just wish they had gone with some kind martian-knight-of-the-week formula and stuck to what they were doing in the first few episodes. I think that would have been fairly engaging. Oh well.

Welp, finished Chaika S2. I too felt the ending was a wee bit too rushed, no major fight against the final boss, but I loved it anyway
Spoiler:
For a moment I was worried I wouldn't have my happy end, but it was better than I expected with the Red Chaika kicking the door down and Akari writing that romance novel oh Akari, you were a barrel of laughs from the start right till the very end

I just watched through Deadman Wonderland, that was pretty neat, though it seemed all set up for another season and it doesn't look like that'll happen :(
IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT.
New Heavy Gear Log! Also...Grey Knights! The correct pronunciation is Imperial Guard and Stormtroopers, "Astra Militarum" and "Tempestus Scions" are something you'll find at Hogwarts.

You never know. Durarara!! S2 starts today (I think) which means it took nearly 4 years.
