I saw this show for the first time today. Nice CG but goofy plot. Gundom for totalers. What a concept!

Gee! Where is my Turn-A Gundam? The thinking-man's Gundom!

Gads! I'm treating this thing like is a fine wine!

How can this show be boosting Toonami's ratings? I realize that the shows are aimed at a young audience, but c'mon. The CG isn't really that good, albeit it looks to be done purposefully done that way. But the plot and the themes...*shudders* Pokemon's more mature than this show. Though that's where the ratings are coming from: 6-11, and probably their parents as well. Ehh. Well, at least I have the option to not watch it. And not watch I shall.

Misguide Adult: Why do you like Apple Jacks when it doesn't taste like real apples.

Kids with poor taste buds: We just do.

Besides, it's just that show in that time spot compared to last year, which I think was Hamtaro. *Shurgs* CN has an odd love affair with cute and small things from Japan now. Razz

Are you totally incapable of seeing that the show is made for little children? Obviously they don't care that the CG in the show isn't 'that good'. Why do we even discuss these shows? Complaining about them is akin to complaining that last week's episode of Sesame Street lacked the plot depth and character development you usually expect. I can see it now.
