Also, I am not a fan of the art style. Overall though, it was really good. I'd definitely recommend it. 8/10 Edit: I feel like the series had a pretty deep, overarching theme/message to it. Maybe I'm just looking too far into it, though.
If there was a crossover between Getter Robo, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, GaoGaiGar, Mazinger Z, and MazinKaiser, the world would end from the awesome.
Edit: HOLY CRAP THERE IS A NEW MAZINKAIZER OVA. Why did no one tell me? T_T;

Ryoma+King of Braves+Kamina combined into one character would be so imba. Even God himself would look like some random ladder scrub compared to that guy.

I love it when Merry takes off her coat...
Thats a pretty cool arsenal bro, but check out these as well:

Mazinkaiser SKL? Being the thread's resident Mecha fanboy, I've been watching it. Its good for the action, but unfortunately it can't really do more than it is with only 3 total episodes. And its not classic a Mazinger setting either. The main characters (2 of them) are sort of like a cross between Kouji and Tetsuya and Ryoma/Hayato (aka crazy violent).

You know, that's another complaint I have about New Getter. The pilot suits suck. Ryoma looks like the mecha pilot version of Speed Racer or something (especially with the helmet). And Hayato has like some ugly-ass tracksuit. With a scarf no less. : /

Hey, the scarfs are the best part about the suits!
I can't argue much about the suits in general, other than the suits are pretty much a throwback to Ye Olde days of Super Robots. Plus, I'd rather pilot suits like those, than pilot suits like in Star Driver, for example. Can you imagine Ginga Bishounen Ryoma? If you can, you should probably kill yourself.

+ Show Spoiler [Merry 32] +Stupid classmates are stupid.
And where the heck is John Doe? Not enough awesome in this arc, imo.
So what's the explanation for Sion having the Black Barrel anyways? The only other place I've ever seen it mentioned was in Notes, and that takes place far into the future. In terms of mystic codes it's pretty neat, but still not as cool as Kiritsugu's. I really hope Shiki has an alternate Satsujinki form, but somehow I think I'll end up being disappointed. 
And Shirou should totally project Ado Edem

KnT S2E12 was the cutest fuckin thing i've seen in a while
;_; here's to season 3 i don't wanna say goodbye to sawako and friends yet

@ Sentenal: I don't watch Star Driver. I have no idea what you're talking about. D:

Ferrose, the moe quota and awesome quota are completely unrelated. Both are equally important though.

But KnT has to end to make way for MOTHERFUCKING KAIJI. I can't believe how hyped up I am for that show.

Ever since the hiatus of madoka, I have an anime hole that has yet to be filled in my life. So basically I need a recommendation that will hold be until madoka is resumed.
Recently, I've been addicted to dialogue driven comedy anime like bakemonogatari, tatami galaxy, kuuchuu buranko, stuff like that. If you anime veterans have anything along that vein that would be great.
Otherwise, I'm up for anything that generally very good too.

Position in NasuverseEdit
Chronologically, 'Notes' was written before Tsukihime and other works that made TYPE-MOON and Kinoko Nasu famous, but shows some basic ideas that Nasu later incorporated in his works:
Most notably, the idea that Earth is a living and conscious being was used in all subsequent works.
Black Barrel, a weapon carried by Gun God seems related to Barrel Replica used by Sion in Melty Blood.
Crimson Moon was mentioned later in an interview as being one of the Types, Type-Moon. Subsequently, TYPE-MOON was the name of the doujin circle Nasu and Takeuchi formed, which later evolved into the company it is today.

I recommend Denpateki na Kanojo. I think this is the third time in two pages? <_< Anyways, it's not comedy.
Dialogue driven comedy? Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.

Manly tears? You just reminded me of how brutal and soul crushing the ending of Kaiji was. T_T
And thanks Southlight!

Want a good series that will keep you occupied for a few weeks until Madoka airs? Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Kept me busy for two months (and I'm still not finished with the gaidens). You're welcome

Eh, the only other show I can think of that is mostly dialogue based humor would be Seitokai no Ichizon. Maybe Lucky Star. :3
Other comedy:
Moyashimon - comedy comedy!
Hayate no Gotoku - reference and other misc comedy!
Dai Mahou Touge - sadistic magical girl comedy!
FLCL - insane comedy!
Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu - military and romance comedy!
Hidamari Sketch - moe comedy!
The Legend of Koizumi - mahjong comedy! Also manliness.
Ouran High School Host Club - romance comedy!
Soredemo Machi Maid wa Mawatteiru - weird comedy!
Tantei Holmes Milky Opera - moe comedy!
Working - Dunno, but it's a comedy!
Baccano! - (not really a comedy)
Ok I'm done.
Edit: The only thing that keeps me from recommending LoGH is that it's a freaking 110 episodes. It kinda surpasses entertainment and becomes a full fledged hobby with a time commitment.

A comedy list without Shinryaku! Ika Musume? I am disappointed.
Would K-ON! count as comedy?
School Days is another good co--*brutally beaten to death by rest of thread*
|
School Days is hilarious, so yeah I'd consider it a comedy.

Never watched squid girl. Bacteria > squid anyways.
I was debating whether I should put K-On on there. It's kinda really polarizing, so I left it off. I guess it counts as moe comedy though. The emphasis on moe rather than comedy. Though there are several awesome exceptions:
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/yMQTZ.jpg)
School Days I would list as "not really a comedy, but it's certainly lolworthy"
