Trust me, the magic dolphins in Gundam X are way better than the magic dolphins in the animated Titanic movies (Yes, those exist, and they're horrible). I love Garrod and Tiffa as characters! They're awesome!
Yeah, I'm watching X right now. I thought it was just OK at first, but it grew on me. The last episode I saw was the one with the dolphins. I wasn't a fan of dolphin magic as a deus ex machina, but the Flash System scene more than made up for it. It reminded me of the final battle from Iron Man 3 in the best way possible. Also, it had lots of awesome Jamil moments.
I noticed your post in the Gundam thread, and thought I should make a suggestion. Gundam War in the Pocket is a great show if you want something that's easy to follow. Plus, its' very short at only 6 episodes. It's less about the politics and tech and more about the story of a boy on a neutral colony who experiences war for the first time. It's a very touching story.
