I was this close to buying one of the model kits, but lucked out. There's also another series that has the same realistic mecha premise(without the hard-to-follow plotlines): the Front Mission games. You should check it out(there's a DS remake of the first SNES game, and the only english-translated sequels are Front Mission 3(PS1) and Front Mission 4(PS2) ). The best of the series, FM5, never got a US release, but a group of dedicated fans are working on a translation patch.

It's definitely a series you have to 'work at', which is perhaps of dubious value for a medium that's supposed to be about providing entertainment, but there you go. And should you happen to need DVD volume 8, I have a spare copy... ;) It took a lot of patience and rewatching but I finally did get something out of Gasaraki- although I’m not so sure that I would enjoy it again now.

Unfortunately, as huamulan03 rightly points out, it does require a certain degree of effort since the series takes itself very seriously and is quite demanding to watch at times. I'll stick with it though - it has me intrigued! If you’re into serious science fiction I think Gasaraki is well worth the effort.

I’ve been told over and over that this series is super boring, and how it’s a great sleeping aid and all of that stuff, even by someone who I consider to have great taste. But for some reason my interest in seeing this series hasn’t died. It’s not high on my priority list but I still feel like I need to see this…

Unfortunately, as huamulan03 rightly points out, it does require a certain degree of effort since the series takes itself very seriously and is quite demanding to watch at times. I'll stick with it though - it has me intrigued! If you’re into serious science fiction I think Gasaraki is well worth the effort.

I was this close to buying one of the model kits, but lucked out. There's also another series that has the same realistic mecha premise(without the hard-to-follow plotlines): the Front Mission games. You should check it out(there's a DS remake of the first SNES game, and the only english-translated sequels are Front Mission 3(PS1) and Front Mission 4(PS2) ). The best of the series, FM5, never got a US release, but a group of dedicated fans are working on a translation patch.

It's definitely a series you have to 'work at', which is perhaps of dubious value for a medium that's supposed to be about providing entertainment, but there you go. And should you happen to need DVD volume 8, I have a spare copy... ;) It took a lot of patience and rewatching but I finally did get something out of Gasaraki- although I’m not so sure that I would enjoy it again now.

Although the "hard-to-follow metaphysical goings on" and the uncompromising way the writers chose to tell the story oft times may have made my eyes glaze over while watching this series, I still view it with the extreme fondness that only comes from true emotional investment.
