All mech series have a ton of fanservice.
Yeah, I know, I've watched at least some of almost every crap Gundam series ever made. It's just. There were boobs. And then five seconds later, fake gay angst. It was really something.

Um, I don't know anything about the Shinsen-Ureshii mashup, but inaccuracies or not, the quality there is DEFINITELY many times better than what was released by those pathetic little kids (at least, I assume they were kids; it'll be sadder for everybody if they're forty-year-old fanboys). Their subs are actually unwatchable. Which is hard to manage, but they did it.

The CLAMP designs might be good for the characters, but they're bad for me. My mental dialogue when I look at the series usually goes something like: "Ooh, my goodness, it's so pretty, it's really -- mmmmf. Nnng. AUUUGH I CAN'T TAKE THIS!!! OFF OFF OFF!!!!!" That's how I react to most Gundam shows, though, so it's not much of a surprise. And the boys will never get to really be gay, either, you know. It's just aimai for the Benjamins.

I also like your new LJ layout a lot! I forgot to mention it before. Really slick and clean. Very pretty.
