I've heard tons of mixed opinions of Attack on Titan, so I finally* gave it a try. I only watched the first episode, but it seemed pretty neat. I'll have to watch a couple more this weekend.

The premise is interesting but at least in the manga its become a little bogged down in political coups and human issues that draw away from the Titans which was the thing that made it interesting to begin with. The anime's drawing style is definitely nicer than the manga but they added a decent amount of filler given that the manga itself hasn't gone that far.

Ah, I gotcha. We'll see what happens, I suppose. And one of the first things I noticed with the show was the animation. Definitely really nice.
...now, if only those Titans would put on some damned pants, I'd be happy

But... they don't have any genitalia...

Well, I'm up to date on D-frag now, and I have to admit I am a confirmed fan now - It's probably the only harem-style one I've seen, but it's quite nice to have a lighter show where the stakes of "losing" don't mean the world literally ends.
Also caught up with the English dubbed Bleach episodes, though I don't really know why I'm bothering anymore... It's a filler arc, but the one that comes after looks equally fatigued as regards plot - mysterious bad guys and new powers, *yawn*...

Good. I mean, can you imagine what would happen if they did have genitals?

Bleach is one of those shows that would truly, honestly be better off without the main character. Ichigo is literally such a Marty Stu by this point it's not even funny- He uses a Katana, has "Über Super Dooper powers" above and beyond others, is a 'crossbreed' between pretty much every single different faction/race in the show (Soul Reaper, Hollow, Human, Quincy, heck, I think there's something about him being part Zanbatou for crying out loud), his 'power up' is him
Spoiler:
being faster and his sword turning black
, he's literally the only thing letting the goody guys win Every. Single. Time. etc. etc.
Spoiler:
Whereas characters like Chad- the Gentle Giant, or Orihime the pacifist with the power to destroy reality, or the LAST Quincy (supposedly) or the adopted youngest of a noble family trying to live up to her brother's expectations that Rukia is...
Basically the whole thing would be more interesting if they didn't feel the need to focus everything around Ichigo.

The dub or sub? I watched it when it first came out, and I'm a little weary to check out the dub. Dubs seem to be excellent, or just completely terrible for the anime I have watched.
BTW is your picture of a mini you created? Where is the source of that? It looks sick!

Watching it sub'd. And It's someone cosplaying Commander Cody. I'm no where near that good with making models!
I found this brilliant gem the other day by accident.
Wow, a Zeon-dominated Universal Century looks great. No seriously; a lot of people immigrate to space, and the Federation Government is apparently disbanded/reduced to a Zeon puppet, but those who want to stay on Earth are apparently left in peace. Heck even Bright and Kai (former EFF soldiers) are shown living peacefully although the former is clearly uncomfortable about the Zeon-biased war memorial.
A rough translation of the narration is: With Zeon's victory Gihren now has complete control of the Earth Sphere. Under his leadership Earth quickly recovers from the war. The remnants of the Federation drifted aimlessly after the war, but while some cannot give up the idea of fighting, most adapt to the new peace. Humanity truly is an adaptive species, and despite recent setbacks are continuing to move towards a brilliant future.

It's from a video game, Gihren's Greed. This ending is obtained by conquering the entire Earth Sphere.
This ending is obtained by capturing Jaburo without conquering the Earth Sphere, and Zeon wins by default due to the EFF now leaderless. It's not as grand as the perfect victory, and the scene about that widow waiting for her husband on Earth is heartbreaking, but the scene where the Zeon forces return home to a hero's welcome is great in itself.

I think they did a really good job with the Gundam Franchise video games, at least the early ones. I'm not really a big fan of the dynasty warriors styled ones, but I definitely enjoyed the older ones.
I agree. TBH I was quite pleasantly surprised when I found out about Gihren's Greed, since up to that point I only knew about the Dynasty Warriors-style Gundam games. Maybe I ought to study Japanese next semester, just so I can play the game (there are no English versions apparently).

I loved how they showed Shiro and Aina in this one. Both alternate endings were really cool to watch, though.
As of late, I've been watching far too much anime, pretty much watching most series in under three days... Help me! D: I've Watched Sword Art Online, its so good I've watched it twice, watched Log Horizon, six episodes into Death Note, and watched Infinite Stratos season one and two.
I really loved Infinite Stratos season one, but season two was a bit of a disappointment. Do you guys have any good anime to watch?
I kind of find that hard to believe, especially considering the medium has much greater works like Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the shell, Madoka Magica, and NGE (yes, everyone is going to freak gak on this point, but it changed the medium to a high degree).
And @Tyranid horde, if you want a good SAO, I recommend you try .Hack. Also the monogatari's, starting with Bakemonogatari, as it has the fanservice of IS with gripping story and dialouge. Another over the top mecha anime you might like is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann if you like Infinite Stratos.
