Burn-Up W isn't bad, if you like the "cute chicks and token horny guy beat people up with a flimsy excuse for a plot" type of show. The artwork is very glossy, if just the tiniest bit flat, and it's chock full of low comedy. Also as I understand it X-cess is the sequel to W. W was, as a matter of historical interest, the first anime production instigated and funded by ADVision.
By the way, does anyone else think that ADV are making a big mistake in backing this live-action Eva? I mean, every project Gainax has ever been involved in has turned into a financial nightmare, and judging by the degree to which things are still up in the air -- they have a script treatment, but no script, because they're trying to get a big-name director who'll have his own ideas of what the story should be like [this from the horse's mouth] -- it seems like this could go the same way; bankruptcy, or an artistic debacle, or both seem to lurk in the wings. Or maybe it's just my paranoia...
