Any of the modern Gundams - SEED, Destiny, 00. Nadia of the Mysterious Seas (aka Secret of Blue Water) is a good old fashioned adventure series with enough action I should think to keep him happy (well, asides from the infamous "island" episodes). Full Metal Alchemist can be a little gory in places, and it takes a few episodes to get going, but any series that can get your mother interested just by half-watching it in the background has got to be good... I'd love to recommend Patlabor on TV - quiet and thoughtful is he by any chance? Some of the other stuff I'm thinking about, like Full Metal Panic TV can be a touch saucy in places, I'm not sure how suitable you'd find that kind of thing.

Matt Smith has been giving a few interviews lately, this one suggests that yes, they might just have found a good 'un to play the Doctor: http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/201...r-who-interview "This is my cat Timmy who's no longer with us," he says, giving a guided tour of his trailer walls. "My mate Timmy. I can't tell you, man, I luuuuurved that cat. He got to 18. He had a really good innings, that's why I was so attached to him. He was called the godfather of the street because he was a bigggggg cat. I'm totally going to have a Mini Egg, if that's all right." He digs into my packet and munches away. "Ah, it's like heaven in your mouth." [1] [1] Do you have Mini Eggs in the US? They're little chocolate eggs coated in a hard sugar shell. They are, indeed, heaven in the mouth.

What Current Anime Series Are You Watching? v2.0
F-ZeroOne replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Gurren Lagann. Mecha show. Turned up to ELEVEN. Spoiler, quite a big one: -
And yet the PAK-FAs shadow looks... bigger. Clearly the Russians have sided with... the Shadows! Someone call John Sheridan!
-
What makes that Batman Begins packaging even funnier for a British person is the fact that "Jack Straw" is currently our State Secretary for Justice and Lord High Chancellor. Which sort of sounds like a superhero title in the first place!
-
Presumably pilots of the T-50 are already thinking in Russian.

What Current Anime Series Are You Watching? v2.0
F-ZeroOne replied to Duke Togo's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Xabungle. Anyone who has suffered the first 20-odd episodes of ZZ Gundam and was left with the impression that Tomino can't do humour should really check this out. Its an almost perfect de-construction of the entire mecha genre, made back when there almost wasn't anything to de-construct! -
Heres an odd question - looking at pictures of Russian aircraft with their wheels down, it seems that many of them have green inner rims. The Indian Navy variant of the MiG-29 has them as well. I was just curious if there was a particular reason or is it "just one of those things"...
-
Hmm... ever seen the aborted attempt to use SD Gundam for Western markets...?
-
Good lord, thats like something out of Yukikaze!

Londo Bells job was to track down Zeon remnants. I'm unclear as to whether they were ever an "official" part of the Federation, they don't seem to be too well supported by them in CCA.
-
That is pretty good! Surprised "The Vision of Escaflowne" doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet. All, after me - "ES-CA-FLOW-NE, ES-CA-FLOW-NE... " ("Dance of Curse"). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlNHi6wgQQ...feature=related (reminds me a little bit of "Carmina Burana"... )

I had to go cheat and look it up. I won't spoil the fun for anyone else, but it was absolutely the last thing I expected.

In 80s Japanese Dungeons and Dragons, elves had really big ears (Record of Lodoss War OP):
-
Always loved this theme from "Project A-Ko"; apparently its called "Explosion" (you might remember it as the theme when Project A-Ko tries to out-Macross Macross!): And while we're on Project A-Ko. "Dance Away" and "Follow Your Dream":
-
Speaking of Orguss, the ED has got to be one of the more unique 80s anime themes:
-
Everythings coming up roses, which must mean its time for some Utena: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mQFGdHSbTY And though I've always had problems with the boy-band Gundam, the opening theme is still pretty awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55euNKtEpBo Still one of my all time favourite anime, Urusei Yatsura 3 "Remember My Love"; the opening theme "Born To Be Free" starts at 06:25 in this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRLzrWBnl_E

"Guys, you know when we said use 'off the shelf' components when possible...?" I've stood under a Vulcans bomb bay. That was impressively huge.
-
I'm not really familiar with those two, but I saw Now and Then shortly after seeing Escaflowne, and lets just say that, in comparison to this guy, Dilandu is practically a saint. As Ghost Train points out, the show kind of catches you by surprise, given the world design.
-
Niceeeeee. Currently working my way through Xabungle, which has this pretty awesome theme (incidentally, its worth pointing out that Yoshiyuki Tomino actually penned the lyrics for many of his shows opening themes)...
-
Warning, this series can be brutal. I've only seen the first two volumes but it features possibly the most deranged anime psychopath of all time...
-
Yes, the OP is supposed to pump you up for the show and it was a bit disappointing. I'm not entirely sure if this was correct, but I understand Bandai didn't reveal the issue until (in at least some cases) people had already received their sets, which was a bit naughty though they were probably in a bit of a rock/hard place situation...

Thanks; I grew up during the 80s so I guess synthesisers just harmonise with my musical soul better...! Another couple of favourites; first "Give a Reason" from Slayers Next, followed by the mighty Turn-A Gundam (do you ever wonder who the bloke is that says "Turn-A Gundam" at the beginning? ): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oayXglsMryQ You, er, might know this one from Macross 7: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh25-V63IBk

Oops, double post.

A personal favourite, the Cats Eye opening theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V079fmpc5_4...feature=related Kimagure Orange Road has an awesome soundtrack, generally. Zeta Gundam opening: Chars Counterattack ending, Beyond the Time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0y6jn8GG0p0 Aura Battler Dunbine opening, another favourite:
