I actually enjoy Golgo 13. I disagree with what you had to say about the main character and how the anime bores it's audience. The whole point i'm trying to convey is that well, to be a top assassin one must be "boring-ish" if you get my drift. A professional within professionals have to be secluded and have close to no vulnerabilities. I understand where your coming from too but i just wanted to put that little bit of info in there as well. P.S. The music is totally bad ass haha. Also, I don't believe that the anime is boring at all, it's very suspenseful throughout almost every episode. Even though we all know that he isn't going to get shot/die, we still are wondering how he gets through his dilemma. I'm not trying to push my opinion on you, i'm only stating that I enjoy Golgo 13. I hate arguing because i'm too lazy to post things back :P Your reviews on Soul Eater and Macross Frontier are spot on though, I must admit. I've been watching both since they came out and i'm certain I couldn't have summed up how great both series are as well as you.

Something has to go I'm afraid! @wildcard: 'rigid' is a good way of describing Gundam 00; Macross F on the other hand just grabbed me somehow. Check out Golgo by all means, but I doubt it's going to change its format at all - the first two eps have exactly the same vibe as the movie. @Peter S: I downloaded the <a href="http://www.cccp-project.net/" rel="nofollow">Combined Community Codec Pack</a>, which offers two open-source media players (Media Player Classic and Zoom), plus the little codec thingies that go with them. I'm no expert on the technicalities I'm afraid, beyond recommending that over VLC, whose shortcomings are becoming increasingly apparent. I'm sure plenty of tech-savvy people can correct or elaborate on that. ^_^ @Maxon: I'd give Macross F a second chance TBH but Soul Eater certainly looks like it could be fun.

Even the plot of the episode wasn't even remotely interesting. There's all that build-up, he arrives at the airport, takes a shot...and he's off again. All of that for something that lasts 30 seconds! I have a friend who is rather annoyed at one of the character designs in Macross Frontier (changing a woman into a loli), so with that kind of mindset, I'd rather give it a miss. Soul Eater as predicted looks set to be the show of the season. Despite being shounen, it looks quite fun. It looks like it could be in the same vein as Full Metal Alchemist. I know what you mean when you say Black Star is annoying. I kind of groaned when I got a grasp of his character (which only took a minute).

That night I had watched two other ep 1's and hadn't enjoyed them. I can't even remember what they are now (Oh, right, Golgo was one). I thought I was burning out on anime. Then, what the hell, I'd try Maid Guy, and found myself grinning by the end and actually feeling a little refreshed. Okay, so maybe THAT's a recommendation ...

So far the new season of anime is looking very promising indeed.

Time will tell, but things are looking good so far. Macross-shaped schools aside, did you spot the Macross-shaped, well, Macross under wraps as part of the Frontier fleet? /m/ was /m/using about it last week. Unless, of course, the animators are just stringing us along. I doubt Duke Togo’s emotionlessness will remain amusing for fifty episodes.
