I love mecha. This is acceptable I guess, coming from a guy with an engineering background.
For absolutely no particular reason, today I’m gonna hand these personal awards to the following series:
The Tech Award: Gundam 00
First of all, Gundam 00 is the first ever Gundam to actually put in effort to make… sense. The age old “overpowered robots fighting even more overpowered robots” concept is less obvious now. In Gundam 00, people DO die and the good guys DO get owned. Fights are more realistic and no more having a single Kira Yamato destroying a whole horde of enemy robots. Everything is futuristic and I absolutely dig their GUIs.

I was sitting in front of my PC when this particular piece of news hit me.
The following is a cut and paste job from Zdnet Australia.

In sum, the company implied that any Web site that uses pictures and graphics to link to another site or Web page will need a license from Vuestar.

It was a cold and lonely night when the devil came to me. She held me at gunpoint and I downloaded the first episode of Full Metal Panic…

For me personally, this whole OP/ED thing must have the “feel right” factor. This is kinda hard to express in words as each show has its own personality and flavor. Here I’m listing 3 shows which I think did some awesome work in their OPs.
Spot No.1 – Death Note
This is my all time favourite. The theme is there, the song matches perfectly and Live-eviL did some really awesome job with the karaoke effects. I personally like the scene where the camera zoomed past Light and L who were facing each other. Too bad the said fansubber dropped this series at episode 12 due to licensing issues. There were others who continued though.
