About matches my reaction reading through it! Having not seen (and am unlikely to see soon) the other series adapted from the source material I couldn't make those quite imposing comparisons though - not that it seems to influence your opinion apart from "It is provably done better in other series under the same name".

I didn't use a bad analogy either but I can forgive you somewhat for that, hehehe, although next time make it a car analogy (sorry, /. joke!)

But yeah, a fair review for this series I think with the comedy/mecha comparisons and on what works and what doesn't.

I posted that first comment what, 2/3rds of the way through? It just lost the comedy aspect completely in the end and thus ended much worse then I hoped it would. It'd get a thumbs down from me just because most of it was a waste of time - and certainly if there are other series' which do it better, it's even more a reason to view them instead!

Richard; You need to start posting forum threads for when you have reviews - not so you duplicate them but so others can comment on the same series.
