I know it's not an anime but I really really recommend Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
The series are up there with the best. Check it out if you haven't.

Finishing the last few series of the Winter season, and starting the first few series of the Spring season - I love these four times of the year. :coma:

I'm also nearly finished with Turn A Gundam, only 6 eps to go. Given that I tried at least three times to pick up the series, only to drop it after one episode, I'm surprised how much I've grown to like it. Likely my second favourite Gundam series to Iron-Blooded Orphans, so long as their respective endings don't change things for better or worse!

Can I ask with streaming sites do they either suck or you have to pay a large fee for?

As far as I'm aware, Daisuki and Viewster are completely free. As is Crunchyroll, if you're willing to wait a week (whereas premium members get instant access).

turn A isnt the best finale for gundam (that belongs to 00 s2) but it does provide closure for the main characters.

iron-blooded orphans finale isnt on diasuki or youtube yet but already it seems a lot of people are annoyed with it due to what happens (and the nature in which it happens).

if your after more gundam, 8th ms is similar to ibo but has more romance.

00 has better character development that ibo but has beam battles and halfway through s2 becomes a lot more super robot vs real robot. that being said, turn A gundam is easily the most over powered gundam.

SEED starts off well and is essentially about 2 best friends who find themselves on the opposite side of war. this is generally seen as the most popular gundam series in japan as kira yamato (1 of the main protags) was in popularity polls from 2002 till s1 of ibo ended... in 2016. that being said, seed destiny is too all over the place and even 2nd half seed seems a bit lackluster (although that could be due to the season 1 mid-season finale).

SEED

I've watched both of these. Don't remember much detail about 08th MS Team since that was a while back, but I enjoyed it. As for SEED, you could see all the plot points (and to a large extent character designs, even if they got CLAMP to pretty them up a little) that they then reused in Code Geass. :p:

That was also decent, but I'm steering clear of SEED Destiny due to at least a decade worth of warnings from friends.

Though I might take a break from Gundam/mech shows in general after Turn A for some variation, the next one I watch will likely be Victory Gundam, since I've had that lying around for around 7-8 years as well. :ahee:

I'm hyped for the Spring anime season in general, as is evident from my covering (virtually) every first episode in the season preview thread. :yes:

Attack on Titan certainly had the best ep so far though, and since the first series is one of my all-time favourites, hopefully the rest of what's to come will be equally good.

Same. It'll be one heck of a series this spring. I am looking forward to watching the rest and all the emotional plot twists.

No other fans present? :p:

Just posted my thoughts on Seikaisuru Kado in the Spring Preview thread - definitely the best thing so far for me. And still so many more new episodes to come, too! They seem really spread out compared with the Winter though, not sure I can wait another ten days for some of the later airing eps, I have a blog schedule to keep. :sadnod:
