Hee. Yeah. New Mazinger is crazy, and I get the idea it's a case of being In Media Res.
For me, I'm going to do something that, for once, is NOT anime. I'm talking about Chowder. I saw commercials for it all the time on Cartoon Network last year and thought "okay, it's going to essentially be just one sheep in a herd."
Then I watched a few episodes... and I have to say it's really, really worthwhile. I like the humor, especially in the episode where they take board games to a level of intensity I haven't seen since YuGiOh! made a children's card game the thing that determined the course of human events. Chowder's amusing because of his craziness, and his mentor is morally deficient just enough you can still relate to him but he's not so uptight he's boring.
Probably my favorite line in the series, and one I think is one of the most hilarious things for a professional chef to *ever* say is "I don't need a certificate to show I'm a chef! But I DO need one to continue having a career as one!"
