Learned a valuable lesson though, no matter how bored I get, don't repeat last weekend when I watched ep 03 and 04.
There won't be an ep 05 for me. I'd rather watch paint peel.
Seriously. I just don't understand. I just feel like this is a failure of immense porportions. I could make arguments about story or content or taste or whatever all day long, but I don't think any of that really exists. I think the show's only good point might be the flashy action sequences and animation style, so I could see decent amvs made. I might have liked this when I was 11 or 12. Oh wait, I did, it was called Ren & Stimpy. But even Ren & Stimpy was very witty (I can still watch and appreciate it today), despite it being mostly fart jokes. P&S is just boring to watch

I do have to give Gainax at least some credit on the show though, they are pushing the envelope. Come what may, they aren't making some equally boring moeblob stuff just to sell DVDs (will be interesting to see where this one ranks on the sales charts) and will hopefully learn from their mistakes. Some would argue against that, but hey, you like what you wanna like. Hatters gonna Hat.
@Mirko: This is a first for me though, I've watched and enjoyed every other Gainax show to date. I think the one I liked the least (besides P&S) was Ugly & Beautiful World, but it was ok at least.
