too bad the dvds are coming so slow, the show is awesome once it gets out of the Four Kings arc.

I have to respectfully disagree with the review here. GGG is defiantly not a show for people who expect everything they watch to be Shakesphere, but I think it does what it does with amazing style and energy. Especially considering that this series came hot on the heels of Eva when all anime were trying to redefine the meaning of life, I think it's refreshing to have a show that just wants to be fun, and is really, really enthusiastic about itself.
And yeah, it gets much better after the first storyline ends. The episodic stuff mostly vanishes in the Primevals arc.

I laugh hard at the reviewer and the fact that s/he so obviously has no clue what's coming - my only wish is that I could see his/her face once The Tokyo Crisis happens~

no offense, but if you see this from the perspective of someone who has never watched it before, it looks pretty damned generic. it did to me. sitting through the first arc was quite an ordeal.

I can't wait to buy GGG when it's complete. I watched the first episode and it was fun. I know it gets better as it goes on, and I look forward to watching the series. I don't mind the episodic formula it probably follows in the first half. There's tons of great shows that follow episodic formula for the first half and the second half goes with the plot and ends up being a rewarding experience.

Nice catch. The Goldion Hammer is actually a homage to Kodocha. As ridiculous as the weapons are, they are still fun none the less no? What I like about the GGG weapons is that they're so unconventional compared to what's seen in most other anime.
I know it's beating a dead horse, but on the next DVD (whenever MB decides to release it) will be when things pull a 180. Half way is when the initial Zonder conflict ends and whole new (continuous) one begins. I've said pretty much everything else I could in other posts, but I will say even though his name is very silly keep an eye on Pizza.

Then the next volume hits and everything goes right to hell.

Um, I HAVE - I watched the entire series from beginning to end in order, so I know EXACTLY how generic it looks right now. That's WHY I find this hilarious. Of course, that having been said, I still loved the pre-Tokyo Crisis episodes, but I'm a through-and-through Super fan.

I've seen this connection mentioned several times, but only on this site. What have people based this on? The hammer used in Kodocha in neither unique nor original to the series, so similarities could be entirely coincidental. Did a staff member state that there was a connection at some point?
