I have downloaded and watched 24 episodes of this show and think its pretty good. I know it has some issues (story isnt great at points, the Leopard Gundam is pretty much a carbon copy of Heavyarms from Gundam Wing), but I still think its one of the better AU series. What is your opinion of this show, and with the release of the Japanese. DVD set, do you think it will/should be licensed soon?
X does have a good chance of being licensed for R1 now that the DVDs are being released in Japan. But its hard to say when they'll bring it over since there's SEED Destiny, ZZ, Victory, and Turn-A laying in wait also.
I Personally liked the show quite a lot, the mech designs for X and Divider are mainly what pulled me in. Also I felt the two openings (Dreams and Resolution) were the best OP songs done until Believe and Realize showed up with SEED, all four are equally awesome now though.

X wasn't even finished if I remember right.
X was finished, just not in the way that the creators wanted. once the timeslot was changed, ratings soured even more and they decided to end 10 episodes earlier at 39. If the R2 release were to get enough attention, I think it would be cool if Bandai would commision an OAV to end the show how it was meant to be.
Nice points ultrabot. I also have to agree that the music from that show was good, probably the best I've heard in an anime. And who knows, maybe the DVD set does contain some deleted scenes or episodes, you never know.

Touhou Spell Carnival is a unique blend of strategy and shmup gameplay with ample amounts of charm and depth.― This was my first exposure to the Touhou… franchise? Expanded universe? Mass hysteria?

Dinghai Fusheng Records is a good break-in point for the danmei-curious.― Danmei can sometimes feel overwhelming if you've never read it before.
