RahXephon is the type of show to where you won't really know if you like it or not 'till it's over. I thought it was good at first, then sorta slow, then disappointing at the end. Your results may vary.
One of those shows huh? I haven't had one of those experiences...so, maybe this will be the first one

Since you're renting and not buying, I'd check it out anyway. For all I know, you may end up loving it.
And if you do, I'll trade my RahXephon DVD box (series + movie) for anything Macross or Gundam

RahXephon is very much a take on Eva. It works mostly. I like the show, and find it to be fairly good. It's not going to (Or at least I don't think it should) totally floor you or anything.
John: I think you should edit in some kind of opening statement for the first post, incase some new anime fans wander by.
And I am somewhat offended that the switch over happened like this. After I scored the five thousandth post no less.

 you really dislike this show don't you?
tell ya what...if I end up liking it...i'll let you know, and I'll save up and buy them from you. then, you can buy Macross and Gundam at your own discretion
course, it's low in the queue and it'll probably be a few months
edit: we can lock this one and start a new one...i dont mind. i just wanted to keep the convo going is all.

I'll be the first to admit the my opinion of RahXephon is extremely bias because of my Eva mushiness. I tried to like it as hard as I could. Especially seeing as how I blew so much money on it. Then again, maybe if RahXephon had tried a little bit harder in the mecha battle department I wouldn't be so hard on it. And as always, take my bashing with a grain of salt and watch it with an open mind anyway. For all I know, you could care less about giant mecha beatdowns.

I was the same as Ten when I first watched Rahxephon and that was several weeks after I've seen Evangelion for the first time

John, besides being below your actual post, I think that statement works good enough.
If you can edit, may I suggest putting it above your post, then saying something like "now down to business" as a segway?
Bah, whatever, good enough.
I have to agree that RahXephons mecha battles were rather lacking. They were without any of the visceral fun of Evangelions, or the detailed fighting of MSG's. I did like the mecha design though, especially those weird grunt ones that appeared towards the end. (They were basically Evas for all intents and purposes.)

Boxtorrents has stuff up for DL.
I'm not much into manga myself, but there are some titles I like. Mostly adaptations of stuff though.
Besides adaptations I like the Akira manga. Actually not as good as the film I think, but still pretty cool.
Planetes is incredible stuff also.
The FLCL manga is so wildly different from the anime it's a totally different experience.
Love Hina, and others of Ken Akamatsu's works of course. Lodoss War from what I know is pretty cool D&D/Tolkien like fantasy.

That, and the FMA manga are both real good. In fact, it seems the FMA manga is a bit better than the anime from what I've seen so far.

Mmm...**sniff** New thread smell.
I'm liking Bleach. I liked its first episode a lot better than I liked Naruto's first episode.

It wasn't until the fifth episode until I actually liked the show.
Oh well Yakitate!! Japan beats both Bleach and Naruto with no problem
