Quote:

Lelouch takes a cue from Bruce Wayne and dons a masked persona with which to fight against the evil, nasty cracker-ass honkies from Britannia as "Zero."

Lelouch sounds more and more like Char. Someone explain to me how this isn't Mobile Suit Gundam minus those meddling kids and their White Base.

a lot of ways (I've never seen anyone compare the Original Gundam with Geass)

I get the feeling you've seen neither series or at most only one.

I've never seen Geass, but I consider myself an expert in the MSG universe.

Both are Byronean heroes. Both are exiled nobility, men who should be (and become) leaders. Both don masks to carry out their revenge. Both insinuate themselves closely into the presence of the ruling family to execute them. Both carry out their plan not just for themselves but for their hidden sister. I could go on.

Is Lelouch's Knightframe three times faster than the average Knightframe?

I just want to point out that, indeed, I did not see the grand conclusion of the Soul Society Arc last week because you said it was recap. Seriously???

God, I'm never trusting you again .

Also, female reader !

Also, I didn't know anything about the Macross universe, so a couple of plot points flew over my head. (Mainly the comments about Zantredi blood, or however you spell it.) Still, compared to a lot of stuff Sci-Fi has shown, it wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it despite some of the issues I had with it. could you give an example? I though Pus had a great dub

lol, amusing typo there. Anyways

spoiler[The most jarring example was near the end, when Guld thinks that he just killed Isamu, whom he believed raped Myung. But Guld realizes at that point that he was wrong, that he had lost it and raped Myung himself and later forgotten the whole thing, and that Isamu knew the truth the whole time but had never told him, and had let Guld go on hating him rather than confront him with the horrible facts of what really happened.

At that point, Guld is rather understandably depressed/horrified, and he talks to himself, asking "What have I done?" I just did NOT like the way the English voice acter handled this scene, I thought it detracted from it a fair amount and made what should have been a serious and horribly sad scene lose some of its impact ]

I'm sure I have one, maybe two female readers. Maybe.

And guys here seem to assume guys are the only fans that count. I know many times people (guys?) blamed Geneon putting out titles appealing to gals as the reason the company went away when at least part of their vanishing was business dealings with the parent company

So we're here in decent numbers. Guys just don't seem to believe we exist.

Honestly that dub of Macross Plus is really average in my opinion.

Nothing in particular with Geneon, but maybe due to "circumstancial surveys" that point out, per person, guys buy more anime DVDs than gals. They say guys have a more collector's mentality. That may not be true; gals just collect more manga instead.
