    It is a shame that Sunrise have not produced any decent Gundams after the way ratings soiked with Gundam Seed and Gundam 00

    I have seen Ergo Proxy and some newer Gundam episodes. However,I might look at Guilty Crown and Psycho Pass. I also probably need to watch Planetes at some point too.

    I haven't heard of Ergo Proxy but it looks promising so I'll add it to my back log

    I dropped Guilty Crown a couple of episodes in. It started well enough but story didn't make much sense. I was going to finish it off but after seeing it on RandomC Best Anime 2012 Biggest Disappointment I didn't bother to finish it off.

    Gundam Seed was actually the first Gundam series I watch properly from start to finish. I grew up watching random episodes of Wing on Cartoon Network but I was too young and watched too few episodes to appreciate the story, characters, themes, etc and watched it purely for mecha action.
    Seed started off slow but picked up mid way and finished really well. Main critisims off this series would be the constant flash backs (of the same thing) and tons of re-used animations particularly battle scenes where almost every battle/ skrim looked exactly the same. I'd recommend watching this particularly if you have never watched Gundam series before.

    Ok, Destiny was awful and almost the inverse of Seed. It started really well: new protagonist, PoV of the opposite side, new mecha etc but the story took a massive U-turn around 37 and sense was not made.
    Its mind boggling that you can replace the main protagonist 37 episodes in with the protagonist from Seed, and for his character to become a rage blinded pawn with flaw motivation. It also ended exactly the same as Seed with the "good guys" needing to Blow up the Death Star except the clear lack of direction and story leading up the this. It also suffers the same problems from Seed; tons of reused animation. Personally I'd avoid this series, it ruined what good memories I had of Seed. Seed ended on a high, this most certainly does not.

    I forgot to mention that there is a new Gundam series atm.

    Gundam Build Fighters

    Gunpla is cool and a company has invented a machine that can animate plastic models that can be user controlled and used to battle.. <insert underdog kid making it to world championship tournament>

    I'll admit that the story seems a bit lame. It is frickin' awesome!!! Much better than AGE

    It's subbed on Bandai's official YouTube Channel
    It also has all of Seed, Destiny and 00 subbed as well.

    Ergo Proxy is futursitic and makes you think a lot about what you see in the anime.

    Valvrave was just rubbish. Dropped it. It tried to be like Gundam Seed but in Gundam Seed universe, the main characters were already part of armies. In Valvrave, it's juts kiddy .. too much school environment.

    Watching Ace of Diamond. Always a pleasure to watch the usual non-school anime!

    Hmmm Sword Art Online movie? Will have to check that out as I enjoyed the series and have read all the light novels.

    As for finding out what's out I have most of the main fan subbers pages in a RSS feed so I can see whats being released along with Crunchyroll I see most of what I want to.

    The movie is about 2 hours. Most of it is recap from S1 & S2. You get to see some fan service with the girls in bikinis, and there's a new fight scene of 10 mins. at the end!

    I was very disappointed with it. Was hardly worth watching.

    I juat got half way through the first episode . . .
    I don't think I'm going to stick with that one, so far it's just too "high school" with a bizarre twist, Girls und Panzer was far better and far far less sexualization.

    One thing I have recently re-watched the original Dominion Tank police acts 1 to 4, yes the animation is a bit ropey in places but the overall art style and theme is great.

    Dropping Golden time. The anime is going nowhere!
    Started watching the latest mecha anime by Sunrise - Buddy Complex. Seems very Gundamish.
