As far as characters go, I will admit that Nastasha was incredibly hot. Hell, I don’t even remember the fanservice character in GGG, was it that 7 year old that had panty shots here and there? I’m still very ambivalent about Schwartz Bruder, though. I mean, that name! Did they just think that their plot would be so transparent that they could give things away that easily? Finally, my last thought on the two shows (I know I’m outclassed here, so I’m just struggling for points) – I know it’s probably improper to use it as THE HUGE THING of all that is large and robotic, not to mention unfair to G Gundam, but I have to give big ups to my GaoGaiGar homies for slamming their balls on the table right in the face of Evangelion. That must take at least some degree of burning heroism.

What GaoGaiGar does have over G Gundam is animation quality (regardless of the stock footage) and people being awesome by way of yelling. G Gundam’s got a lot of impassioned yelling in its own right, but it doesn’t really compare, even though the yelling ramps up even more than usual within those final ten episodes. But just so we keep everything in perspective, Getter Robo has more yelling than even GaoGaiGar. And pretty much everyone is awesome, AND there’s lots more blood.

I never did watch more Bartender past those first two episodes, but it was due to lack of availability, not interest. Much like how I can’t watch the new Jeeg series until I can find a batch for it.
