The ED really has to be watched frame-by-frame (e.g. with AvsP) to be appreciated. I think there’s even a nudie crotch shot for one frame before it pans up.

>>Whoah, whoah…they let 7 year-olds watch this?

It is very educational. The ED should be required viewing in schools.

Maid Guy has not topped the brokenness scale. Those broken by Kana Minami still control that sector.

Kukuku. Stupid anime blogger recommends yet another silly anime. Maid Guy wonders why he mentions him in same breath as stupid characters. Maid Guy cannot be compared to any other character – Maid Guy occupies every spot in any top ten.

I like how Adam in the first picture looks like a mix between Kamina (the glasses and grin) and Arawn (from Tears to Tiara).

…Did you just compare Yugioh! with Gurren-Lagann? Please, for the love of Jason-ko, NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.

When I checked out a rip of the ED after hearing all about the “controversy”, it felt like a betrayal. I thought, “Gundammit, Madhouse, you’ve sold out to the moeblob too?!?” Thankfully the show itself proved otherwise. The awesome is as strong as ever.

Personally though, emo Cruz is the only minus in this show. Here’s hoping his balls drop by episode 9 or less.

Nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone. They are human, so are you. You won’t always like the same things every time. Best to leave it at that.

That said, I DID like Needless, and NOT because of the ED (ok, not JUST because :P). Jason had it right: it’s over the top, “shut your brain down and just stop caring” insanity. If you dislike OverTheTop then you’ll hate this show. If you love it, you’ll love this. Myself, I needed a silly show to balance out the deeper stuff I have listed (and replace Tears, which isn’t doing much for me anymore). Cruz, though, really hurts things though. Ep2 focuses on him and, hearing “OMG We’re going to die!” over and over is NOT as much fun as slamming a hand grenade into a robot and letting it explode IN your hand. Maybe he’ll bulk up and go crazy-go-nuts.

So here’s hoping that it keeps going crazy as in Ep1. If not, well, Princess Lover’s Charlotte has proven herself epic enough to fill the gap overall, though I doubt she’d start shooting at giant robots with an automatic.
