I've been watching Mobile Suit Gundam - the original. It's better than I expected, with some thoughtful universe-building, although the distance in time means I'm not always sure how plot events are supposed to be taken; I'm pretty sure the casual sexism was a condition of the time & place, but I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to regard Amuro as a prat who seems determined to prove every characters' criticism of him right, nor whether Char is an anti-hero or just a loathsome backstabbing toad. Regardless, interesting to see one of the grandaddies of all mecha anime.

So just curious, has anyone seen the 8th episode of Nisemonogatari and had the same mixed reaction of awkward, shock, disbelief but most of all hilarity because they noticed what their brain was doing? For all I've said, I still have no idea what I felt toward that particular episode.

About to watch Rinne no Lagrange. Seems to be a fine, upbeat mecha series, with an eye towards improving on the familliar post-Eva cliches
