Hey all, in my anime lacking frustration, I went to the movie rental shop
and checked out their anime section, the only anime besides Gundam,
escaflowne, and dragon ball(z) that I have heard of was patlabor (Mladen
mentions it often)
and appleseed again through Mladen.
They didn't have either so I decided to get anything with mobile armour on
the cover. I ended up grabbing Gasaraki 1: the summoning, it had a neat
looking mobile suit on the front and the back cover sounded kind of neat so
I got it. It also turns out that it was made by the same guys who made
patlabor 2 (ADV) and patlabor must be good if it's Mladen's fav. anime.
Anyway, the purpose of this post is to question all of you anime savvy
guys/gals out there that have seen this about how this (and the mobile
armour within the movie) compares with other anime, I wanna know if it is
the cream of the crop and as good as anime get's, or if it's just okay.
thanks a ton

| (...) Well, I'd heard that it was highly political, and bore more than a few similarities to Neon Genesis Evangelion. (Anything as good as Eva is bound to be influential. ;)) The mecha ARE highly realistic... unlike Gundam and Macross (and don't get (...) (23 years ago, 25-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Thanks to everyone who replied! (you know who you are) I'm *still* not done, had to cut it short a little ways in, but I'll finish it today.
