It irks me that CN doesn't show much anime anymore. And Adult Swim's anime block is confined to Saturday.
But at least the stuff on it is generally good; Code Geass just plain rocks. And I'm seriously addicted to Death Note; I've also read up through volume 9 of the manga. It's probably one of the better anime/manga series out there.
I'm not much into Bleach, but it's a good show. I watch it occasionally.
What really ticks me off, though, is that InuYasha only comes on at 5 in the morning at the end of the Saturday anime block. I know it got kinda tedious near the end, but it's such a big part of my late childhood and it made a huge contribution towards really pulling me into anime. It remains one of my favourite anime, and I think they should show it more often and at a better time.
re: the Gundam discussion. Universal Century timeline is the shit. It is the standard to which all other Gundam is compared. I liked Wing, because it was the first Gundam series shown in the US and it was a HUGE part of my childhood. But it's terrible; the dialogue is awful, the character development is atrocious, and the story events are way, way too quick. The Gundam pilots were, also, far too powerful. The only thing I liked about it was Zechs, Treize, and the semi-realistic MS designs.
I loved SEED's premise, because it was an attempt to re-tell the original story in modern terms, with updated science, and more relevant issues. But, I agree that the animation was mediocre, the characters weren't that well-developed until SEED Destiny, the suit designs were bad copies of older ones. Even so, I like it. SEED Destiny, however, wasn't even as good as SEED; and SEED original was mediocre, as I said.
Gundam 00, however, is great. Its amazing; the voice acting and characterisation is perfect, the suit designs are some of the most realistic I've ever seen. It goes in a completely different direction from the other series; rather than trying to blithely imitate the original, it makes it own mark. IMO, it's one of the better ones out there.
