From what I hear, it's basically office life with mecha. I liked what I saw of the show in the movies though, compared to Gundam they take a very down to earth approach.

I saw the first ep and yeah, it is esentially a slice of life cop show that happens to have mechs on it.
It was hilarious.

I liked the ending enough.
But I'm on the rare minority that isn't crazy about it.

Eugh, really? I can never get into slice of life shows...or even ones that have slice of life elements. Maybe it's just the ones I've seen though, but that makes me a little less excited to see patlabor.

Anyways, 4 episodes into Code Geass (I was so tired I almost fell asleep during the last episode, otherwise I would have watched more) and i've been really enjoying it so far. It seems pretty much like Death Note with mecha, which is cool.

I haven't seen SEED in a LONG time, but I think I could see it. Should I even bother with R2 though? I heard it's nowhere near as good as the first series.

The mechs seem to be an element of the plot but not the main focus, it's ultimately a cop show.

I guess, at least for completion's sake.

Finished Angel Beats! I had not seen the ending coming at all. That was very, very touching (even if it does make one question the timeline of that world).

Moving on to Log Horizon then.

That's what it seemed like, but a lot of real robot shows seem less focused on the mecha themselves and more focused on the war or whatever the mecha are being used for, so it makes sense.

My friend said it was awesome, and he generally has good taste and decently high standards, so i'll probably watch it

As a whole it holds up, but the second season is undeniably weaker.

The two movies I saw has a bit more of a serious tone with the 2nd being more like a detective movie.

I'd say the third was the weakest though, definietly skip that.

While on the subject of Patlabor they did an Ultra Seven parody:

Well since the first season does not have an ending, yes, you definitely should. The biggest problem with the second season is it aired 6 months after the first had ended, so the feel of the show is different due to the passage of time. The show starts back up about 6 months later and even though we did not see what happened, time continued to pass in the Code Geass universe, so it throws you off the first time you watch it. It takes a few episodes to get used to it and for things to be explained. When they do though, my god it is freaking incredible. Everything Ledouch does has a purpose to it and it is shown in the final episode.

I see.

Can't be that bad.

Oh god, that must be awesome, but I'll wait till i reach that part to see it.
