My last anime thought: why the fuck don't Kouji and Sayaka wear belts in their damn robots?! I see them getting knocked around so much inside of their cockpits and always smashing into the canopy...

Seat belts are for chumps. That's what helmets are for.
I hate Lucy from Elfen Lied so much! Whenever I bash her in the internet, people criticizes me for it. How could some people ever like this murderer who massacred tons of innocent people?
EDIT: I forgot her name was Kaioh Michiru. Well, specifically, I forgot the surname, and then I was sad. And then I was sad because something that stupid and useless made me sad.

I haven't so much as thought about 11eyes in like a year, but I watched that episode 13 just today. It's like once the show was over, the creators just came out and said "God, this show is fucking stupid. Might as well embrace it. Also, boobs. And penis. Embrace boobs and penis."

Flying robots make everything more bad-ass. Even missile drop-kicks to the face, which were pretty bad-ass already.
The shout-along kind of makes sense, too. A lot of technology is moving to voice-activated. For weapons systems, I'd guess you would want a volume fail-safe, so the attack only activates if you're shouting your lungs out. I mean, I don't expect "Ultimate Gespenst Kick" would be said much in casual conversation, but it if it did, things could get ugly.
Kyosuke is such a manly man. He does what needs to be done and doesn't afraid of anything. And all of his mech's attacks are close- and medium-ranged. He gets in your face and punches a giant spike into your robot's torso. Did I mention it was a ballistic spike? Or he blasts you with the ball bearings from giant robot-sized claymore mines. Strapped to his mech's shoulders.
I like the enemy grunt's reaction. At first, he's like "WTF?" and then he's like "OH GOD I'M GONNA DIE".

The shout-alongs, my dear 4:13, are just a staple of robot anime attributed to the 70s and 80s super robot shows of Japan wherein the pilots would shout out the name of the attacks they were performing. I'm currently watching one such show, [en.wikipedia.org] Mazinger Z, and I am starting to get into the habit of saying them along with the protagonist. I was told about this anime by mal, which is why I said 'what have you done to me?'
Hah, I know it's an anime thing. I was just rationalizing it for absurdity's sake. For that matter, any anime show without giant mechs, if they fight they call their attacks like that constantly. It's amazing the bad guys never think "Oh hey, I should try and dodge that extremely showy special attack they're about to do."

Not the majority of real robot shows. The Gundam series for example makes more use of momentous speeches and cool 1-liners when executing their final devastating attacks instead of shouting out attack names.
Still, it IS pretty stupid that bad guys usually just sit there shouting in horror for like 30 minutes a la DBZ style. It reminds me of the steamroller scene from that one Austin Powers movie.
