Finished GaoGaiGar and the GaoGaiGar Final OVA. A little bit of monster of the week (for the series), a whole lot of grimdark (OVA), and the best super robot show I have ever seen. This was a really fun ride, and I think the near sentient AIs that several of the mechs had was one of the best parts, along with an epic gattai sequence (FINAL FUSION! PROGRAM DRIVE!) and several in-series jokes about the constant (but awesome) stock footage for the sequence.. I also really enjoyed the music, and I'm currently making extensive use of the OST on my MP3 player.

Now watching Godannar, which I'm told is the king of super robot shout outs, and Gainaxing. Holy crap a lot of Gainaxing. I do like the (somewhat) older average age of the cast though.
