Giant robots, and the weird prebuscent children that pilot them. Again, but with a bigger budget this time.

Theo, are you aware of this?

I really hated the original. The visuals weren't bad, and I'll even buy the bit about man rebelling against god and all that. But the sheer degree of vagueness to it all, the act of being obscure for the sake of being obscure, grated on me terribly. Furthermore, while I can understand and even applaud the deliberate breaking of character stereotypes, after watching that show I have to say that the stereotype of main characters in action shows not be complete wusses who never grow a pair at any point in the story is a stereotype we should probably cling to.

I could probably go on, but I won't. I'll just say that I really like the animation of this big-budget reboot, and even though it seems like mostly hype at this point, I'll give it a chance nonetheless.

Also, Kurt: I was planning on coming into town sometime during the first week of June. I haven't figured out how long I'm staying, but it wouldn't be more than 3, *maybe* 4 nights.
