No it doesn't, LOL.  I watched way more than half of it and my opinion didn't change.

What? You weren't even past the warm up.

Though as I said... You will long since stop caring.

Yeah, my impression of Eureka 7 for the longest time was "... Okay... this is... okay...". In the second half of the series, it changes to "... I don't get it." to "... I DON'T GET IT" to "WHAT IS EVEN WHY WHAT IS THIS I DON'T GET IT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN WHY IS THIS HAPPENING WHAT WHY". It felt similar to NGE in that regard (except I understood way more of NGE than Eureka 7 the first time around for either show). I think it's a show that simultaneously benefits and hurts from being watched on a weekly episodic basis: you take a week off from watching it to forget most of your misgivings so you stick with it longer, but you also lack the constant immersion necessary to puzzle out what happens towards the end. I have friends that really liked it, but personally I find that it's just... okay. It's not terrible, there are definitely redeeming qualities, but it's not something that I would readily recommend to just anyone.

I was a bit behind on SnK, and in the process of catching up I had a near-fatal spittake.

Word from the Manga authors; the subject matter of that investigation will be further explored in the spinoff series "Cavity Search on Titan."

Say, does anyone know if the Mirai Nikkin english dub is any good? I'm going to try to watch it, but I want to know if the dub's good out of curiosity.

Well, if I was going to watch the sub. Unless you mean the anime in general.

So, Naruto is officially worse than Bleach (declared by me, so it's still opinionated).

Tite Kubo ruined Bleach by continuing the storyline past the BBEG. The thing is that Bleach is at least sensical with what it's doing: every arc is basically applying templates to Ichigo, and there was only one left so there had to be an arc for that.

Kishimoto, on the other hand, has completely destroyed the philosophical statement that Naruto was trying to make (that you can come from nothing and rise above your disadvantages; you can make your own fate), ruined all character development, ruined all character relationships and attempts to make clear comparisons and then completely ruins those comparisons. He's also made every other character worse to make the main character look better, and there's a continuation of "Now I am teh strongarz!" during this single final fight that is even more preposterous than DBZ. It's really just shitty at this point.


In other news:

Claymore update: I CAN'T FOLLOW THE ACTION ANYMORE. WHERE DID CLAIRE GO? I DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE THAT ONE CHICK THAT JUST KILLED THAT GUY.

Rosario + Vampire Season II: Oh man, oh man, this series has ruined so many expectations for it to be all tropey and stuff. I was legitimately sad about what just happened, and I definitely did not think the story would go there. It's about to be the BBEG fight, and I'm looking forward to some major asskicking (unless it also just subverts/averts everything).

I am honestly now thinking the reason why that is so common in anime is because a large number of mangas (and anime I guess... but there are few non-adapted anime or anime that intentionally diverges from the source material) is because they never had an ending in mind.
