Derelict passed along a link to some sort of anime I should check out. Wait a minute.. isn't it 'Ecchi'?
In other dreadful news, Laz passed along a link to a new weapons system that reminds him of the 'mass drivers' in Wing Commander (and looks to me like a glorified baseball or tennis ball launcher that shoots golf balls). It looks interesting and doesn't have some of the drawbacks of the 'Gauss rifle' but I still think that there may be a limitation with the design. Not that I'd want to be in front of one of those things.

Grenadier is not ecchi but it is saturated with fan service (just look at the main character, frequent onsen scenes, etc.). Character development, plot, and animation are only average. Watch it only if you have nothing else to watch and it's given to you for free.
P.S. Have you looked into Samurai Champloo at all? I believe it's done by the same director as Cowboy Beebop (the two are very similar in style and execution). It was my favourite from 2004-5.

Good, I'll keep that in mind. I've already seen "Samaurai Champloo" a month ago. It was entertaining.
Oh, unless you really really liked the style of "Kite", don't bother with "Mezzo Forte". It was meh.
