From the second season onwards (and perhaps the movie aside, although that was basically just a Star Wars rip-off) yes, but I actually quite liked a fair chunk of the first season for at least the basis of its core storylines. Of course, none of them could really have been translated into...

Because we've grown up since then? If nothing else, at least the cartoon has some semi-plausible continuity and character designs that allow you to tell one giant robot from another. Besides which, the original Transformers comics actually had some quite decent plots (slithers of which made it...

Season two of Shikabane Hime, Kuro, is already airing - The first three episodes have been broadcast IIRC, and the first two of those have been fansubbed.

Yep, Rideback looks potentially interesting. It has motorbikes with arms that can dance. 'Nuff said.

It isn't just the Santas...

I wish someone would catch up with the Ga-Rei Zero subs, I'm missing my fix at the moment and we're a couple of episodes behind now. (EDIT: Talk of the devil, episode 7 is now out!) Kannagi is a pretty good little slice-of-life show - Sure, it gets a bit fan service-y on occasion, but it's also...

I've never really bought into the Gundam franchise, and I'm not about to start now to be honest. ;) Ga-Rei-Zero episode 2 was fantastic... Mindless, but fantastic.

It's only an OVA but don't ask. Really. ;)

Nabari no Ou ran itself into the ground with too many slow and pointless episodes, it should never have been made into a 26 episode series. It's been subbed up to episode 25, but to be honest I'll be glad to get it finished for the sake of completeness. I think it's fair to say that I have way...

Moving into the second week of the Autumn anime season, I'm marking down Ga-Rei -Zero- and Chäos;HEAd as a couple of shows with a lot of potential from their opening episodes. On the more fun side of things, Toradora! has been pretty good from its first two episodes.

Season two isn't as good, but still worth watching if you enjoy the first series.

Code Geass R2 never really lived up to the quality of the first series, but props to Sunrise for ending it properly and it a suitably surprising way.

No, GTX denotes enthusiast parts, so we'll be seeing other titles used for mid-range and value parts.

Yep, it's actually exactly the same length.

Yep, I would heartily second that. I can't say I've noticed any difference between the GT and GTS in every-day usage/gaming.
