Misuzu Gowa of Gasaraki (English dub).
Ok, so I'm watching Volume 3 of this fairly intriguing anime. I haven't been captivated by its main story or characters so far, but I'm drawn to its portrayal of mecha-weapons in a relatively modern day setting, including all the political wrangling and media ruckus that would occur if mobile-suit-like technology suddenly challenged the world's military status quo. I actually like the parts dealing with that stuff WAY better than the parts dealing with the main character, Yuushiro, and the more supernatural events he's caught up in, but he's tolerable, too.
And then there's Yuushiro's sister, who spent the previous two volumes mooning around the family home because her brother wasn't home...irritating, but ignoreable. In this volume, she actually finds out where Yuushiro might be, goes looking for him, and spends more than a third of an episode yelling "Big brother!" and wondering why he won't come to her, topping the whole thing off with this huge melodramatic scene about how important he is to her.
I was actively begging someone to shoot her by the end of the disc. I can't remember the last time I was so actively annoyed by a fictional character. I don't know if I can bring myself to watch more, since she's apparently a significant character, after all. Ugh.
