   Giant Robots
I posted these two as answers to questions on OkatuBoards but I liked them so I'm keeping them here! Oh! There are Gundam and Eva spoilers so watch out!

My opinion on various Gundam series:

The Gundam series I have acutally seen are SEED, Wing, G, 08th MS team and SD.

Wing is awesome! I think it's the best one of all. I love the five pilots. Quatre is my favorite because he seems so innocent but he fights just like the rest of them. The pilot I like the least of the five is Wu Fei because he just doesn't stand out to me for some reason.

I love Gundam SEED too. Kira and Athrun are so cool and cute. At first I hated Lacus because she was such a ditz but then she came around and was such a strong character. I love it when she confronts Athrun and asks him what he's fighting for.

G Gundam isn't my favorite but I think it's okay. I don't really like any of the characters but I used to watch it after school. Cartoon Network cut it off right when Rain (the girl) was captured and being absorbed by some machine (I think). That SUCKED. I at least wanted to know what happened!

I hate SD. It's like gundam for kindergarteners. I hate it that the humans are CG too and I think it's baiscally plotless. It reminds me of transformers (but transformers is even better than SD!) because the annoying kid hangs out with the robots.

Last but not least... there's 08th MS team. For some reason, I LOVE this series! Shiro is soooooo cool and I actually think the girl (Aina) is pretty cool. I love the way Shiro insists that his team adopts the concept of coming back ALIVE. He doesn't want heros, he wants loyal soliders who value thier own lives too. But he does some pretty dumb stuff too! Going out in that crappy ball in the first episode to rescue someone. Or when he tried to fight underwater. What about HIM coming back alive? He's such a reckless idiot, but he's dedicated to his team. I love the way he's always complaining that the jungle is so hot. LOL

So there you have it! My favorites (in order) are Wing, SEED and 08th!



Gundam VS Eva

I'm specifically defending Kira's Gundam versus unit 01 because I want to get into specifics of each machine...
I think Eva unit 01 would win for sure! But, my explanation is practically all Evangelion spoilers so be careful! This why: Kira's Gundam (either one) is just a machine, even if it is nuclear powered. The Eva's are ALIVE. Unit 01 has even shown that it can think for its self. Plus, once unit 01 ate the S2 engine the people at NERVE couldn't turn it off so I'm pretty sure it doesn't need batteries anymore. I also think the Gundams' phase shift armor would be no match for the Evas' AT fields.

As for the pilots... I love them both! (but I love Shinji more :catgirl: ) They are BOTH crybabies but they both grow over the course of thier series. I think that Shinji in a bad mood, combined with his high sinc rate with Eva unit 01, could take Kira in SEED mode.

On a side note... I wonder if Shiro could beat Shinji... Shiro did kick a$$, even in that crappy ball... Oh well, Shinji would still win I think!

   My opinion on...
I'm in such a good mood! The sun is shining and the breeze is perfect! Anyway... to get to the point... I was recently reading a heated debate on a message board about Shonen-ai, Shoujo-ai, Yaoi and Yuri. So, here's my take on the subject.

I don't watch a show BECAUSE it's shonen-ai or whatever, but if a show with good plot, characters, etc is shonen-ai... Cool!

I like shonen-ai because I just do. There's just something so tragic about a shonen-ai romance. It also adds some romantic tension because often times the characters who end up together start out swearing they aren't gay.

Who could deny that it was adorable when Hisoka asked Tsusuki to stay by his side forever in Yami no Matsuei? That's the kind of thing that makes you cry!

I also like shonen-ai fanfics... with exceptions. If you set up two people who do love eachother (ex- Subaru and Seishiro from X)... Great!
If you set up two people who could be together under certain circumstances (ex- gundam pilots, kai and rei from beyblade)... good!
But if you put two people together who just don't fit (ex- Inuyasha and Miroku... I've seen it!)... not so good.

I'm not saying you can't... It's just that I don't care to read fics like that because I like it when writers keep them in character (unless it's for obvious humor). It is not in Inuyasha's character to love Miroku like that.

But it's not just because it's two guys. I don't think Sango and Inuyasha work either.

As for Shoujo-ai... I haven't seen much. Tomoyo loves Sakura in Carcaptor Sakura, but Tomoyo is content with just seeing Sakura happy. Nothing comes of her feelings besides Sakura's outfits.

I do support Michiru and Haruka from Sailor Moon. The dubbing... the horrible dubbing that made them cousins... If Sailor Moon's creator made them a couple they should be a couple! Just leave them be!

As for Yaoi and Yuri... I'm not into hard core stuff. I'm not really into hentai of any kind. I just don't get off on that. That's just me I suppose.

So! Those are my opinions!
