Some of them are a little depressing. A lot of the good ones are, actually. Now that I think about it.

G Gundam was essentially DBZ with giant robots. Not saying its bad but it lacks the feel of the others.

SD, however was a god-awful abortion. Basically gundam for 3 year-olds.

If you watch a Gundam series OP avoid SEED Destiny and Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.

You misunderstood. I was saying that G Gundam has a lot of melee, not that it's good. I watch it just to see the Gundam Maxter, piloted by Chibodee Crockett, the New Yorker who loves to box, surf, and shoot his "giant magnum" beam guns. Yes, this is what the Japanese think of Americans.

And yes, SD Gundam sucked.

What have you got against Stardust Memory?

More like Street Fighter with giant robots.

I think it would be even more entertaining that it already is.

Are you kidding me? Stardust Memory is great.

OP, I'd suggest ignoring Wing Gundam. The amount of Plot Armor in that series upset me when I was 14. Also having 5 Gundam rock the Earth's socks is pretty stupid.

Jin-Roh would definitely be good if you want political thriller that will make you think.

I don't like Gunslinger Girl, personally. Having 12 year old girls (odd how it's usually female main characters kicking butt unless it's mecha) be the best assassins in the world is pretty silly.

Gantz. That is all I have to say.

SurlySeraph · 11-09-2009, 05:21 PM

I remember hearing someone refer to Gantz as "Grim Dark Murdertits: The Bloodening."

It's a pretty accurate description.

I second all the recommendations of Black Lagoon and Berserk.

Wait, you have trouble with Gantz, but you don't have trouble with " Adult female characters exist only to be raped" Berseker?

SurlySeraph · 11-09-2009, 05:34 PM

Oh no, Gantz is awesome. I want to strangle Kurono every time he gets even a second of screen time and I acknowledge that it is what it is, but I like it.

Oslecamo · 11-09-2009, 05:39 PM

Actualy, one thing I loved in Gantz was that the

FLCL on acid would probably look like Dickens or Tolkein wrote it...
