Or you could watch Divine Wars which is the anime version of the first game. I guess they could have remade the first series on the off chance that some americans would want to watch the series but was turned off by the CG mecha and the poor pacing of the first series but considering how many times Super Robot Wars has bombed in America I don't think that is wise. |

If a rough outline can't be provided that is sufficient to understand who is on the ground shooting and who is fighting who up in the air, without going into 20 individual back stories, then I retract my retraction of shambles. And if it can be provided, it should have been. So either shambles or lazy story telling. But lots of loud noises and explosion, though, so that's good. |

Or, maybe it could be that it's not the show that has problems, you just don't understand it.

Should every sequel give you a detailed recap of what happened previously? I mean should Conquerers of Shamballa have spent the first 20 minutes detailing the plot of the tv series? Should Dragonball Z have begun with a three episode recap of Dragonball? |

A sequel of an OVA that makes it onto television should include enough information in the first episode to have a rough idea what is happening during that episode, yes. And "detailed recap" is a clear red herring here. If you want to argue about that there is no need for a detailed recap, go take that argument with someone who claimed there needs to be one ~ I certainly made no such argument. |

Gintama finished. Naruto and Bleach are ongoing simulcasts. Not new ones. |

Ok I think I figured out why your so confused. The Super Robot Wars OVA was a sequel to the GBA version of OG 2 and is not in canon to the TV series. Seeing that first is also going to give you a massive spoiler. The OVA and the GBA games where de-canonized when the PS2 game Super Robot Wars OGs was made. remaking the GBA games with several plot changes. The OVA's content's where then included in the game Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden with the changes made in the OGs. In 2007 Banpresto made the TV series Super Robot Wars Original Generation Divine Wars, the fansubs for it where insanely slow in coming out, and the series did poorly, and not even the super robot wars community liked it due to horrendous pacing (slow in the beginning, and then ridiculously fast in the end), and CG mecha animation that while looking nice tended to involve everyone just missing (though their was some good battles). Bandai Visual licensed it and released it in America for the hilariously stupid price of 50 dollars for three subtitled episodes. Now Banpresto is making a sequel to Divine Wars using a different studio, with a different director that has the Super Robot fans quite happy due to the improved battles, and better animation. Could they have created a better recap? Yeah, but they did include a recap, Bian Zoldark started the Divine Crusaders to overthrow the Earth Federation, Aliens attack, and the remnants of the Divine Crusaders are still out their. The other things will be explained and where like this in OG 2. |

However, Maria-sama ga Miteru season 4 suffers from this to a certain extent ~ viewers of the first two season only will suffer a bit of a time jump watching the final broadcast season, though of course they will have been introduced to Drill-chan toward the end of Season 2. Indeed, Erica Friedman's review at Okazu observes the same point:
And its likely for the same reason: the target is the existing fanbase, on the presumption that they are the bulk of the potential audience, But the fact that there is a substantial chunk of the Crunchyroll subscriber base that did not have and are not getting the big Mobile Suit Gundam back catalog means that SRWOG is their chance to stream a mecha show on the site, so it will naturally pick up viewers who were not existing fans of the franchise. |

I'm not sure why Sora no Otoshimono: Forte is number three except for the large amount of fan service and it's massively ecchi.
Now, I'm not against either fan service or ecchi. I enjoy both, but I have a very difficult time defending my choices when my wife walks by and sees this huge, massive, fleshy boob on my laptop and says, "I hope you're not watching that for the boobs." And I have no real response because that's about all this anime seems to be about. |

That's what I referred a long way back up there, that they had a scene in the shape of a recap. If it had functioned as one, that would have been nice:
Anyway, that's the way I see it. Its still on my list of four simulcasts I'm following at the moment, plus catching up on East of Eden. |
