Man, no one likes mecha these days! Mecha use to be all hype when I was growing up. What happened to that?! o.o
Ah, well, it's all good. It's not so much a mech-oriented anime anyways, so it has something for non-mech fans.
Dang, I'd watch episode 3 with you guys, but I'm following Eveyuu for NGNL. They take a little while, but it's worth the wait (especially since they're encoding off BS11). I don't think this anime was meant to be that serious. It's to be expected if it keeps goofing around and trying to be funny. It probably will have some serious moments, though.
Also, I decided to take up a friend's suggestion for watching Nanana this season. I actually really like this. It's cute, adventurous, and seems like it could have some really touching moments. The character designs are pretty :3 Also, Master Detective ftw!
