You know that old saying about not throwing stones while living in a glass house Dickeye? Because your posting indicates that you don't.

I don't know, but she has a pretty distinctive, love-it-or-hate-it voice so maybe she just couldn't get work after Tomino. It's too bad, I thought she was good too.

Anime News Network lists that she was also in Mars Daybreak. Also, sometimes VAs just don't really do a lot. I mean, isn't Domon's English VA now retired and a doctor?

Wasn't Shrimpy's brother the guy whose bullying was largely responsible for turning him into... well... Shrimpy? Having a super robot show as a safety blanket didn't come out of nowhere. I get that laughing at stupid and horrible stuff on the Internet is the whole point of this site, but let's not go full Chris-chan, eh?

I just looked at penny arcade. What the gently caress happened to the art? Being a videogame webcomic it wasn't great to begin with, but it looks really annoying now.

Clawshrimpy, Turn A Gundam is a work of art, enjoyable, and straight-up relaxing You should pick Turn A even though it's longer than the others(I think) Davincie posted:well, i posted there so it mustd have been good So you're saying everything you touch withers and dies Sounds about right

Which of the shows do you think has the best OP? Xabungle's is nice classic mecha stuff (XABUNGURU!, XABUNGURU!), but I really like both of Turn A's.

Brain Powered OP is okay but the ED is better. The OST is probably the closest Yoko Kanno has ever had to an off day but it's still great even when she's kind of phoning it in. Take that back the OP is a lot better than I remembered too.

Haha was trying to remember where I heard the name clawshrimpy from and then dickeye posts the link to pa. Anyway, Turn A gundam is really loving good and probably the only gundam thing I've actually mostly enjoyed, it's a solid pick.

Turn A Gundam also has Tsuki no Mayu which is one of the maybe five EDs in existence that anyone would want to stick around and listen to.

I've made my decision, and I have watched the first episode. Overman King Gainer Episode 1 (I'm praying to god paper lion's approval means it's okay to pick it as a 4th option in addition to what's in the OP.) This first episode is very very confusing. You get introduced to so many characters and so much backstory and proper names for things in the world in the first 5-10 minutes it's hard to even understand what's going on. Now, that's not to say that the worldbuilding is bad, it's actually kind of interesting! But the problem I think I'm having, is that the way it's done is kinda awkward and the show moves to establishing a really, really fast pace quickly to get the action started. We learn a little bit about the main character Gainer Sanga, and the other characters like Gain and the princess, and the villains (The Siberian Railway army) sort of very briefly in passing, but for the most part it tries to keep things moving to get to the action setpieces and spends more time showing off the titular mecha's capabilities off more than anything else. Some of the other characters like those two classmates of Gainer's that are helping with the Exodus don't seem to be that present in the first episode, but I'm sure we'll see more of them in later episodes. I jsut hope the lack of character development and clarity on the worldbuilding is just coming from this breakneck pace the show has so far. Which is kinda disappointing as Gain and Gainer do have an interesting chemistry together, and the worldbuilding would be very interesting if it was less confusing. In particular, I like this concept that humanity is being forced to live in these domes because of the harsh conditions of the world, it reminds me a lot of the domes in Big O for some reason. I kinda really don't like human/millitary antagonists in general, but so far the Siberian Railway is not quite as starkly black as your Zanscares or Brittanias. Seems more like they are just misguidedly trying to protect people, because the outside world is dangerous, and maybe it isn't worth it to go out and look for those places that are becoming habitable again, that it's simply easier to live in the Domopolis. Unfortunately that kinda has the uncomfortable implication that they just want control over people, like any tolitarian military in any real robot work, which I still dislike, especially if they're willing to imprison people that are initially completely innocent like Gainer just to find anyone who MIGHT be part of the Exodus movement, but hey, at least they didn't beat him in an interrogation room like the Titans did to Kamille, so..... Now I know it's a first episode, so I do realize that a fast pace and being light on character and plot is often neccecary and high on action is needed to hook viewers, but I just find it disappointing considering the backstory that dumped on in the beginning and all the characters we meet getting kinda scant development in favor of prison breaks, on foot action, and robot fights. However, I can say that the action looks interesting at least, and the twist that Overman Piloting is a very physically straining thing is a neat twist for the end of the episode. I just really hope this over-emphasis of getting into the action at the cost of everything else is only a first episode thing and not a trend.
