Well that's me sold! Where can I obtain this clearly awesome Anime?

Are you sure, now? It may very well rot your teeth all at once...

Title sequence here.

Have plenty of hankies ready for the giant robo finale, you won't make it to the credits with a dry eye. Also, do you have the Ginrei specials? Be prepared when watching them, they're like some crack fueled fanfic made by the original team. Very funny, but also very WTF?!?

Giant Robo is the second greatest OVA series ever made. (Gunbuster, together with its 2003 sequel, is the greatest.) It's like a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen of Japanese popular fiction, everything from The Water Margin to Little Witch Sally is referenced in there somewhere. And among other delights, enjoy the fact that voice actor Kappei Yamaguchi, who plays the pure-hearted young boy lead Daisaku, grew up and became L in Death Note.

So I've heard, though I haven't seen this yet. Perhaps it's time to hit up the import sites again....

That is made of awesome!

Alfo, my teefs is gone.

Adorable, isn't it? I've just watched an episode where Chi, faced with the number of toys the dad bought in his enthusiasm, chooses...a bag to play with. Just the bag, never mind the toys in it :lol:

Saw that coming a mile off, but I loved that episode. Chi's face when she heard the bag rustling was adorable. The episode with the bouncy balls is also insanely cute.

I do feel slightly guilty for getting this much enjoyment out of an anime series that is very clearly aimed at five year olds, but... it's a big-eyed kitten, dammit!

It's quite interesting that the show seems to have been written by people with no experience of cats of kittens, but I suspect it's more an accurate reflection of the status of cats in Japan, most of which are half-feral strays.

Same here, but it is a nice, harmless bit of fun.

Troo - Is that so in Japan? I hadn't thought of it like that. I hadn't also thought about the knowledge the writers had of cats. I haven't owned one so it didn't really come to mind. My reaction to the show is simply "ooh, cute" and that's about it. :oops:

Aye. Alas cats are treated quite poorly in Japan (nowhere nearly as well as dogs).
