I don't think this is really a spoiler, but whatever:
possible spoiler wrote:How many ultrafeminists in the audience? How many drooling fanboys? That's why.

I was also surprised when, despite the excellent premise, the series was uncaptivating and hollow :?

Saw a few episodes on TechTV. The characters were pretty bland. Heck, the main character Mika doesn't even deserve to be bitch-slapped since she's not interesting. Man, TechTV really has to get more DECENT series (the only series that were pretty good moves were Lain, Duel!, Boogiepop Phantom, and probably Gatekeepers 21). :?

Lain didn't really do it for me... :?
I saw a couple of Geneshafts but not enough to get into it. What I did see looked sort of alright to me.

Mika: "So, my life means nothing unless I'm piloting Shaft?"
Me: "Hmmm, where have we seen THIS before?"
Other guy in room: "'Oh, I'm worthless unless I'm in an Eva!'"
