    It is to the magical girl genre as Evangelion was to the mecha genre.

    So does this have a ton of deeper meanings wrapped around what started off seems to be a lighter show, that end up being a mind f-ck that made you go all intellectual on it. Do you have to start re-watching to try and find out what's the purpose of the anime only to realize you were wasting your time at the end?

    It's not as "deep" but as moving and gripping as NGE.

    Watching two shows this season: Steins;gate because I'm a sucker for pseudoscience and John Titor is a plot point. Also, C: The Money of Soul and Possibility of Control for shaping up to be pokemon with stock brokers (and trippy visuals)

    It can't be that bad. I watched the first four eps of the Iron Man Anime and it was decent.

    I'll check it out soon.

    I couldn't get into Iron Man or Wolverine. Something about the style isn't what I normally expect, and the initial episodes weren't enough to catch my attention.

    I guess I'm set in my ways of how American and Japanese cartoons should look like.

    Haven't watched any new series in a while.
