I think I'll check out Gargantia before it get too far ahead.
Also, even if yo don't have a full opinion on Valvrave, would you say the first eps were any good?
No. But then again, I can't remember the last time I thought the first few episodes of a mecha show were any good. I guess Code Geass, but that's probably it.
Bleach - Pretty much amounted to the first half of a 2 part series recap (kinda cool to see some of the biggest moments of the series all bundled together, though). Oh, and the villain fused with the Shikon... err, Hogyoku...
Naruto - The group got their butt handed to them.
Soul Eater - The action continues to be as fast and fluid as always (Needs more Death the Kid, though. He's hilarious).
ThunderCats - Repeat.
IGPX - It kinda felt like a lame Saturday morning cartoon, but it's narrator is the guy who used to do all the old Toonami commercials, which more than makes up for any shortcomings
Eureka 7 - Great episode. The action was intense!
Tenchi Muyo! GXP - Umm, so Seina suddenly becomes the pilot of some random ancient robot, and goes from being the most useless hero in history, to being a complete bad@ss that can wipe out anything with minimal effort... (this show is all over the place).
Also, Toonami has a new look! I preferred the more clean cut look of the older graphics, but I can get used to it, and Sara is back, so there's that. T.O.M.'s new look is terrible though (he looks like some sort of school science project).
As for me, I don't know squat about Toonami. If I had Cartoon Network, or cable for that matter, I'd watch it I guess, but it doesn't make a difference to me right now.

"Mecha anime cover all series that revolve around the use of piloted robotic armors in battle, which is broken down into two subcategories of Super Robot and Real Robot." — Wikepedia
ANN has a similar definition, although it also includes the Japanese definition, which is completely different and far too broad to actually be useful.
@CanisWolfred
Well if the actual Japanese definition is broad, than the TRUE definition might cover shows like Transformers...
Cause what would anime about living giant robots be? I mean, it's close enough to that definition...

Action-adventure/Science-fiction. They don't really need their own genre when there aren't a ton of shows outside of one series that follow that formula...
finished watching tsukihime for some reason i thought that anime was 24 episodes but its only 12 o.O vampire type anime i thought it was good eh kinda didnt like the ending to it though
also finished boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai rly liked this anime weird, ecchi(mostly first season), but i like the main point of the storyline i got a bit lucky cuz the second season had just been released a month ago

i stopped playing mario kart now and moved on to luigis mansion :P
I know there are a lot of fans of Robotech and Voltron, but they really turn me off since it sounds like they're both american productions where they took a couple of mecha animes, spliced clips together, and made a completely different plot and characters.
Also, anyone excited for Pacific Rim? The monsters are obviously supposed to be Japanese Kaiju, and the Giant Robots would classify as Mechs as they're piloted.

It was very well animated for the time, and it had good action, but I just couldn't get into it.
I just never could get invested in the first part, and while the second part was better, by that point, Geist simply wasn't a character you could root for (seriously, at times I was rooting for the villain).
