argento soma is really good, its in my top 10, it gets especially good in the last half of the series,

heres the info from animenfo
In 2054, mankind spontaneously fell into the belligerence for an innumerable alien which raided suddenly. The United Nations government reorganized the army to oppose them and to defend the earth, and named the previous combat from it as 'The first encounter action'. In 2059 after five years, a battle was still going on.

thats basicly what its about

here is the official link to the site, it has a nice trailer on it
http://www.argento-soma.com

heres a link to the trailer http://www.bandai-ent.com/products/product_details.cfm?id=244

i think there is something wrong with the site right now, but go back when its fixed

I LOVE THIS ANIME, DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU ITS A BAD EVA RIPOFF
cause its not

sorry, i dont knoow much about da capo, id be interested in what other ppl can tell you

Argentosoma looks pretty cool. I loved NGE and this looks cool. The main character looks pretty cool.

So Glitch, is thier anything bad in the series...I noticed a few swear words in the trailer.

there is a guy who "represents" the devil or his dark personality also

Well, I'll agree that Argentosama isn't an Eva ripoff, but it's not a very good series. I think last year (or maybe in Sept), Bandai gave our campus anime club the first volume to preview (and review for their marketers). I don't think anyone had much positive to say about it, myself included.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Yeah Argentosoma was ok from what I saw of it but nothing special...But hey you might find it awesome...Yeah it isn't a Eva ripoff though. It has weird animation...Not bad but not really that good either.

I'm about halfway through Da Capo, it's your typical romance series. There are a lot of situations that make you think are sexual in nature though that really turn out to not be that way (it IS based on a Hentai game after all). No nudity though from what I've seen, very little language, just a lot of implication. The first episode is the worst one as far as the erm.... "anti-service" goes so if you can handle it you should be fine. A definite 15 and over series.
