sorry to completly derail the thread but is Neon Genesis Evangelion any good?
Ummm...
Depends on your taste. If you like a show like, say,
The Prisoner, you'll enjoy it, and if you like mecha anime, you'll enjoy it. But if you go into it expecting explanations a-plenty, you WILL be disappointed.
There is still much to recommend it given the character interaction, though. Every character has a story to tell...or major skeletons in the closet. I mean, the main character is a whiny teenage boy with major daddy issues, his fellow pilots are a near-emotionless girl with almost literally no life and another girl, this one with something to prove and a real bitchy attitude problem. Their immediate commanding officer and guardian is a drunken slob in her off-hours and has relationship issues, the main character's father is a ruthless SOB who doesn't give a flying one about his son's happiness or safety, and the titular Evangelions themselves are scary as all hell.
BTW, the above was not meant to turn people off
Evangelion, but it's meant to let you know what you'd be letting yourself in for.

Nooooooooooooooo! I mean the "Year in Review" NEWS! I have a chronological memory (I know you are saying everyone does) but what I mean is I remember MY year when I see what was happening during the year. Some news we tend to forget about and it was huge at the time. Some news feels like yesterday. And I always get that moment when they do they "who died" thing and I go "Noooooo! He/she died?"
Even more boring, or else distressing.
