It's almost exactly like Evangelion, except instead of Religious references, it has pop culture references.

I agree with the first part, as my enthusiasm for the series has increased since the introduction of Anemone after waning for several episodes. This series however, is nothing like NGE.

I think they introduced him early to show his investigation of what he is to do (Ep 7 with the intel guy) and as I read in Newtype USA [spoiler]his connection to Holland. Why? because they have shown them as both reading the same echi magazine! [/spoiler]

Yeah, I'll keep watching the show on AS.

I was going to watching this show, but seeing how you people rate it, maybe it can be put on "hold"...

I downloaded the entire first season last fall fansubbed and watched it at one time, which is probably better than having to wait a week between eps, especially for the first half of the series which is pretty slow. The first 10-12 eps are about like the first 30 min. of a movie, where they set up the characters, situations, etc. After that they get into the meat of the storyline, and then things get really good.
And don't be too sure that you've seen who the characters really are, in fact none of them has been fleshed out yet. There is a lot more to the crew of the Gekko State than the stoner-dudes persona that has been displayed so far.
I think this is one series which will go over much better when they strip it on the Mon-Thur lineup after the initial showing is finished.

Its not really a mech show, it has some pretty cool battles but the enjoyment comes from the character interactions here. Also don't forget that its 50 episodes long, so don't expact much this early on, just trust all of those who have seen it and assure you that it is an awsome show.

Yeah, I just watched the episode on Tivo, and the opening and closing were much better than the old ones. Although I liked the old ones, these were considerably better.
