Don't forget the proposed 3rd Gladiator Voltron. Intended to be based on Lightspeed Electroid Albegas. The footage from the Voltron edit of maybe the first Albegas episode is floating around out there and apparently the toys saw a brief test release.

Just finished re-watching Blue Drop for the fifth time. I love this show so much! Seriously, more people need to see and it sucks that it might possibly keep the status of an unheard of gem forever. I can't quite explain what it is about Blue Drop that makes it so special, but I can say this.

I first found it when surfing the net for anime (yes I'm guilty of that from time-to-time) looking for something in the yuri genre (don't know what yuri is? Don't look it up... stop going to the google bar!) anyway, I found Blue Drop and wound up getting sucker punched by the series I dug up for... yeah, that kind of reason. Point being, Blue Drop is one of the most beautiful and heart warming anime shows that I have ever seen.

From the music, to the animation and simply the story itself, Blue Drop is a something that I just can't put into words. You just need to see it. If you need any motivation, keep in mind there are only three anime shows (at the moment of this post) that had me crying actual tears by the end, and Blue Drop is one of them (the other two being Madoka Magica and Air)

Please, whether you find yourself with nothing to watch, or just want to do a friend (me!) a favor, check this show out. If you're at all disappointed, you can rider kick me all the way to the moon. Also, so there isn't any confusion about which show it is, here's the opening! (which again is amazing!)

I never noticed all the self advertisement and references Vanguard has.

I'll watch it, if you watch AKB0048. (or Star Driver)

That opening is just wow drawed me in to it well need to download it latter but is this a proper no hentaiish yuri anime as girl love girl type story but not hentai like due to there a few yaoi non hentai anime out there due to I know a friend and she like thoes anime

Haiyore Nyaruko San episode 10

Not very many kamen Rider references :(. They did reference Macross a lot, which was nice, I guess. I say I guess, since it was through Nyaruko's sneezing.

i think it's episode 9 that had a lot of the references.

It did, but there was only one Kamen Rider reference in 10

I've been meaning to watch Star Driver, so I guess I'll check that one out. Also, I'm not really a big fan of Idol Anime. Nothing against the genre, but it's just not my thing.

It's a straight, non hentai story. Nothing is played up for fan service and the only time that a character is played up as being super hot is when one of the other characters views them as super hot... and that only happens once. I showed Blue Drop to a friend of mine and they didn't even pick up on the fact that it was a yuri anime until episode 4. Though really it's more Shoujo Ai then full blown yuri.

Alright. Go watch Star Driver!
