Idolmaster Xenoglossia
I've always been an Idolmaster fan and am just waiting for Bandai to jump ship and do other platforms too. I guess the 360 will completely die in Japan if Bandai makes the jump ^^;
The first episode tells me this is another" girl-from-countryside-goes-to-city-to-become-a-pilot / starts-off-clumsy-and-ends-up-ultra-mecha-pilot" type series just like Top wo Nerae Gunbuster and Soukou no Strain (I'm sure there are others). Is that a bad thing then? Absolutely not when the main character is as cute as Haruka Amami (pictured above).
Haruka goes for what appears to be an audition to become an Idol. She passes and we watch Haruka encounter other characters as she travels to Tokyo. At the end we see Haruka making a first encounter with some huge mecha which looks like it was summoned by her presence.
Those who are familiar with the game will recocnize the other characters like Chihaya, Yukiho and the others. Chihaya is one of my favorites (I have a T-shirt of her ^^;) but it looks like she plays a baddie. The first episode ends with Haruka getting in her new mecha - I want to see more!
Thats all I should say about the plot but if you enjoy (very) cute anime characters, coolsome mecha, great animation then judging from the story so far, this season of Xenoglossia should be on your watch list - check out the stills below. Just hope it doesn't have a bad ending like Top wo Nerae.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

You didn't like the end to Top Wo Nerae? I guess it takes a special person to appreciate Gainax endings...
I was underwhelmed with this. But it's Sunrise, so it can't suck totally. It's just that all Sunrise shows grab me at episode 1. This didn't :(
But the girls are cute, yes.

I just watched it today and now I can't wait for more! For me, first episode of Xenoglossia is kind of reminiscent of Evangelion (btw one of my favorite), not- too-distant-post-apocalyptic world, mechas, central control room, and not one, but two (!!) Misato look-a-likes.

360 wont die if Idolmaster jumps, they still have the TECMOs stuffs such as DOA and Ninja Gaiden. Basically thats the only thing that most xbox owners from Japan that cares abt, other than demons and zombies fps games.
When MS launched the 360, they made a fatal mistake by not launching it together with DOA4, its kinda stupid when no one queued for the 360 but alot of crowd gathered when the DOA4 was released.

Although it has an above average story, it has superb design on both characters and mecha.
I'll give this a try.

Love the new header, and the first episode of Idolmaster wasn't that impressive though. But I was having such a fun time guessing the seiyuus. Love the voice cast.

You're right, I never said it was anywhere as good as Evangelion...
just that it shared some common elements. In fact, this is because Evangelion is the masterpiece for mecha anime and many others try to base their plot from it and sometimes fail miserably (notably Rahxephon) This is nowhere near the dark themes and seriousness of Evangelion and you probably won't like it if you enjoy that kind of stuff (from the list of anime you're watching, i presume you do).
I commend the producers for making it not a quick cashgrab-tie-in though, it has some nice production values. And really, no one can judge the series by watching just the first ep.

ゲームファンとアニメ好きの趣向の違いで評価が芳しくなかったのですが、
この作品に参加された声優さんもメジャーになり、作品としての再評価もやっとされるようになって来ました。
心と恋をテーマにした良い作品だと思います。
