Whatever I say about Xam’d: Lost Memories in this post I must stress that I loved watching it each week. Every sunday morning, after taking a leisurely shower and brewing a pot of coffee I’d sit down to catch the latest episode, just as I used to with Macross Frontier (what I’ll replace it with I’m not sure but Code Geass is the most likely candidate in the coming weeks). It was a series that dished out its fair share of surprises but even so it didn’t quite match all of my loftiest expectations; but then my expections were really high to begin with so that doesn’t have to be a bad thing.

Coburn recently suggested that the series is probably best appreciated when either marathoned or watched in bigger chunks, and I feel inclined to agree. This isn’t a monster- or case-of-the-week series: it’s a journey in a physical, spiritual and emotional sense that I think I’d appreciate more if I rewatched it that way. The background details were the only significant disappointment for me really: I felt there was a lot that was hinted at but not followed up, which leaves me thirsty for more. Were there dead ends left unexplained or would a rewatch answer what I saw as missed opportunities?
