What did you expect with Bandai? Ghost in the Shell seems to be the only exeception with the OP shortening because it's so damn stylish.

For some reason, I was put-offish about Eureka 7 to start with, and the first coupla episodes helped cement that point. Damn you, BONES. Why did you have to do a freaking Sunrise knockoff?!

Adult Swim knows to never shorten Yoko Kanno. It's the law. lol

And wasn't BONES created by old Sunrise members? They also did the Bebop movie, while Sunrise did the TV series. And it it a pretty good series. Renton and Eureka remind me of Naota and Haruko a little bit, but I don't know why, as Eureka and Haruko are totally different. But whatever

the show reaching the 26 episode “landmark” stands as a testament to the fact that others, other human beings, living and breathing souls, find this animated collection of random jokes and dadaist non-sequitur amusing.

I always like to point out this ancient Japan Times article which explains just why Bobobo can never do well in the States. Personally, I do think it's doomed in the US, but I still love it to death.

My two favorite rejections came from Columbia and my alma mater United Artists. At Columbia, the head of production said to me - shaking his head after I pitched my heart out - “Come on, Batman will never be a success as a film because our movie ANNIE didn’t do well.” I looked at this guy dumbfounded. And I asked him what did the little red-headed girl who sang “Tomorrow” have to do with Batman!? “And he said, “Michael, they are both out of the funny pages.”

JETT: Unbelievable!

MU: [Laughs] Now that was topped only by UA, where [laughs] an exec said to me that a film with Batman and Robin would never work as a film because ROBIN AND MARIANE wasn’t successful. Now that was about an aging Robin Hood and Maid Marian with Sean Connery! I just picked up all my materials, didn’t say a word and walked out of the room.

Tezuka took Pinocchio to the limit, someobdy called Hi no Tori religious, and therefore Americans won't accept Bobobo because a dying earth and a talking chocolate bar are both "animism"? How does that even begin to make any sense?

Rock Lee, eager to defend Sakura and her incapacitated teammates from the deadly Sound Village Ninjas, reacquaints said Ninjas' faces with the ground.

The Gekkostate find themselves in a thorny situation as the United Federation Forces shuts down the only airport that would guarantee their escape. Later, Eureka offers Renton the chance of a lifetime. Guys, honestly, the show DOES get better. Why won't you listen to me? Do I sound to desperate?!?
