Wotakoi is more slice of life than straight romance. They get together in the first episode and that's about it for drama.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM ZZ:
FIRST AIRING: March 1986
OVERVIEW: The three way war between the AEUG, Axis Zeon, and the Titans is over...but the cost was deadly. The EF is in tatters after the civil war, the Argama barely survived, Kamille is comatose, Fa is ready to leave with him, and all the other pilots are dead or got their ass kicked by Haman like Char did. Who the fuck even knows where Amuro is. Bright, despite being a young man at this point, is too old for this shit. The newly named Neo Zeon is now in a position to cause trouble for earth and its colonies with Haman leading the charge...when somebody makes an awful, horrible mistake. They kidnap Judau Ashta's little sister. Judau and his friends are junk dealers who want to steal the Zeta and sell it for parts you see, but he's forced into dealing with Neo Zeon after a blond pedophile not named Char Aznable ends up kidnapping his sister. ZZ is wacky for the first half. The Gundam team lead by Judau fights off increasingly bumbling forces from Neo Zeon all while trying to get his sister back. The first half of the series is Gundam The Big Lebowski. The second half is the start of the Federation being absolutely spineless and useless as it spins the dark tale of Dublin getting a colony dropped on it and the Gundam Team taking out Haman once and for all.
MECHA: Horrible. ZZ is an ugly suit. Zeon just has a bunch of super chunky, brightly colored, slightly different Zaku looking things. Queen Mansa at least looks okay and there's a whole bunch of extra Qubeley's running around.
MAIN CAST: Besides Judau and a couple of returning characters this is mainly not a great crew of people. The rest of the gundam team are pretty annoying. A completely fried Bright who just lets Judau do whatever he pleases is a weird change of pace. Haman should just give up on being evil and try living a normal life. Elpeo Ple gives us another enhanced newtype, this time instead of a quiet girl with no emotions you get a rowdy girl who is in love with the main character. Glemmy is here because Char was too busy filming Char's Counterattack, which is why he turns ultra serious in the last half. Glemmy sucks and is a horrible human being.
BRIGHT SPOT: Judau. I'm pretty damn sure this is the only time the main character will ever win this award. He is a singular treat. He's the strongest newtype in the series besides maybe Shakti and her mom, who have miraculous powers. But he's also a really shitty pilot. He just wants to get rich/get his sister back. I swear all the little sister stuff in anime dates back to ZZ, including having another character who is jealous of not being said little sister. Anyways who cares about all that, Judau is a riot. He's voiced by the same VA who does Franky/Bon Clay.
SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Hmm, probably not unless you are a giant Gundam fan. It's not as iconic as MSG. It's not really that important to the series as a whole like Zeta is. It doesn't really look or sound as nice as Zeta does... but it does have heart. The show is genuinely funny during the first half at various points, and it's just weirdly amusing to see Bright this burnt out. The final act has some great battle stuff and becomes deadly serious again, which is completely off tone from the first 60% of the series.
WOULD I HANG OUT WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER?: Yes but he'd leave right away to go save his sister.

whens the Seed/Seed Destiny post. I dont think I ever read your thoughts on this animated classic.
Tomorrow is going to be a double feature as I get the plot important OVAS and movies out the way: 0080, 0083, Char's Counterattack. Maybe 08th MS Team as well. Gundam Victory will also be done. F91 can go to hell. I suppose I should write something about it, but like the rest of the movies/OVAs it will just be a few words.
Saturday is MOBILE FIGHTER G GUNDAM. Sunday is Gundam Wing. Monday would be After War Gundam X. Tuesday would be Turn A Gundam. Meaning Wednesday will be Gundam SEED and Thursday would be Gundam SEED Destiny. So a week from today DTL. Next Friday would be Gundam 00 season 1, and Saturday would be 00 Season 2, because combining both shows would make my writing about as disjointed as ZZ. Next Sunday would be Gundam AGE. Monday would be the show that saved anime, Gundam Build Fighters. Tuesday is Build Fighters Try. Wednesday is Reconguista in G if I finish it by then, if not then Iron Blooded Orphans. Followed by Unicron:RE 0096 or whatever it's called. Finally Gundam Build Divers, the other show I need to finish. I suspect both Build Divers and Reconguista might be a bit after the rest.
EDIT: Slight change of plans. I'll do 08th MS Team and Endless Waltz on Monday along with After War Gundam X. A good pairing as I don't have much to say about Gundam X.

Theres only been a handful of shows that are animated classes, including, Angel Beats, Guilty Crown, Gundam Wing, Seed/Destiny, Hand Shakers, Tsuritama, VIFAM, HeroBank, YGO Zexal, K, Scryed, BLast of Tempest, and Free! s1/s2.
yeah but what's your favorite western cartoon
RocketPower, Ben10 (original), and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends ^_^
i dunno, i'm pretty sure at least one of the Eds will marry one of the Kankers
I vehemently disagree. It is still a classic. I still look up clips and episodes from time to time. Its just so fun and perfectly captures friendship so good. Also beach life is best life.
Swat Kats, Transformers Beast Wars and Daria and The Venture Brothers and Boondocks...even if it's animated by a Korean Studio and Pierrot I believe.
I can think of nothing more Despair worthy than Danganronpa 3...
I hope that the adaptation of The Promised Neverland turns out good but the ones adapting it, CloverWorks, don't exactly have a great track record. Hope they prove me wrong but as of right now my expectations for this show are lowered.
Is it wrong to dream that Adult Swim could get the rights to Futurama back, and then air the show just before Toonami?
Is it wrong to dream of a better world?

I haven't seen it yet, but Bunny Girl Senpai seems like one of the more well received anime this year.
I haven't watched it yet either but I did hear good things about it. It's still not enough for me to get my hopes up for the The Promised Neverland adaptation however. It's just as someone who's watched some of there other shows, they always turn out to be rather mediocre and I can't help but shake the feeling that because of this the adaptation will turn out to be rather mediocre. But as I said before I'd love for them to prove me wrong.
From what I've seen of Promised Neverland's manga art, that animation is way too stiff.
Speaking of which, idk what the hell is up with [AS] programming sometimes.
Tigtone looks so chromosomally deficient it should've ended up like Frida Kahlo's baby: In a formaldehyde jar locked away from society.

I'm just now hearing about this.
What the hell were they thinking?
Wasn't Happy Science being parodied by Dimple's cult in MP100?
it looked like a combination of that plus Aum Shinrikyo. Cults are a pretty big issue in Japan.

All of it is pretty frightening.
Imagine if Tom Cruise produced an animated movie about Scientology.

Well John Travolta did help produce a live action movie about Scientology. Thankfully no one is getting influenced by Battlefield Earth.

Pretty much, who would continue with the English dub when even with its current release is still awhile from ending.
I marathoned that shit in two different languages and mediums like a boss and probably never want to experience it again.
