It just got picked up on Adult Swim and it started last night. I caught 15 min. of the first episode before falling asleep, but what I saw of it was pretty cool. I figured I'd ask about everyone else's opinion, because I get the feeling people here have either read it or seen it before and might have a more elaborate set of opinions about the series.

I saw it a LONG time ago (I am actually watching Season 2 right now) and its EXCELLENT considering it won SO many awards and praised by the critics, I thought that Gundam/Death Note mix was EXTREMELY well used, if you ever liked Mech animes or something psychological similar to Death Note (were wining is more about the brain and the use of creative strategy that the brute strength) you are going to love it, I found out I loved it when I couldn't wait till tomorrow to watch the next episode or when I saw the final 4 episodes in a row XD

if you are in for some ZOMG moments and fall out of you seat plot twists plus some mind destroying situation then yes you shouldn't miss it :D

I just hope the English dub is at least passable since one of the best and memorable things was how the voice of Lelouch changed between his alter personas

I was always a big fan of most of the Gundam series, especially Wing, and my girlfriend and I have been watching Death Note, which is awesome. I guess you can't really lose when it's a mix of those two things. I'm sure Bosch can do good voicework though, he's been doing a few series lately, I like his work in BLEACH and .hack//Roots/.hack//G.U.

Odin only knows when the DVDs will come out and I doubt I have the energy or the girlfriend's permission to stay up until 1 AM to watch it. I'm starting my spree of saving up anime money now because her and I missed a few important Death Note episodes that we really want to see. It looks really, really cool though and I want to catch more than 15 minutes of it.
