As far as Asura Cryin' goes, you would get a better idea of things if you read the LN, the anime left things in a disappointing way, still, it was fairly good every now and again. Definitely something different, and it was an anime about mechas that didn't make me angry because of mechas. That's saying something at least.
I'm actually willing to watch the BDs later on.
25 mins and i'm done with today's work.
