Currently watching two anime series: Gundam Blood Orphans and Fruits Basket. Two totally different genres and series, but I grew up with Fruits Basket and I love the Gundam series. (I also build some Gundams on occasion.) Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans - When I saw children soldiers in the series, I was afraid there might be a repeat of Gundam 00 where the main character would be like Setsuna and be a "I love you, Gundam! Marry me!" type of character. I understand why Setsuna was made that way, but sometimes it made for very stilted character development. I'm still in the beginning, so it doesn't seem that way at the moment, but I guess it could always change. Like most Gundam series, there's also the princess/lady character who always wants to set things right and/or fight for peace. I'm curious to see what her role in the series will be or if she will remain in the sidelines. I'm also interested in the deeper themes this series will dig into and how the characters will develop in the nitty-gritty universe they live in. Fruits Basket - I watched the original anime way back in 2001, and I really enjoyed it. With the manga series finished, I'm excited to see how it'll be adapted in the new version. So far, I'm finding it hilarious and adorably cute especially the interactions between Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo. It's been sometime since I've read the manga or watched the original series, but I believe the art style in the latest version differs from the 2001 anime series, and I'm digging it. Also, I'm not an artist by any stretch, but I find the art animation lively and comedic. The series looks great and the music sounds nice as well. Eager to see how season one turns out!
