No, I can't, but it didn't get my attention so now I probably won't watch it again. Same thing happened to GITS: Stand Alone Complex. I though it was pretty cool, but I was busy when the first episode aired (I wasn't paying much attention to it) so I just though, meh, screw it.. and I didn't watch it again. Well scratch that, I did watch another episode a couple months later.. it was good, but oh well...
Same thing almost happened to Gundam Seed but I stuck with it and it was awesome. I wuv Gundam Seed ^_^

I've taken care to carefully analyze each new show on the AS lineup, I.E. watching the first and second airing over three sodas and couple bowl of Chef Boyardee, and I must say that I'm not disappointed.
First off, SC is a superb anime in my opinion. It has the charm and badass characters of Cowboy Bebop, good humor, an typical but ok plot/setting, and lots of katana action. I personally despise hop hop, but the way they have integrated it into the fight scenes is excellent.
PA- My favorite show on the lineup. It has a wonderful story, blended with many unique and well developed characters all based around the one mysterious main character 'Lil Slugger, who I have personally taken to heart. I have noticed the plot development as well, how Slugger seems to help each person that he attacks, which makes for more depth and an overall better show. There is no action which is usually a con for me, but it is just such and amazing a pretty much insane anime show.
S-CRY-ed- Meh, not that interested. An action show full of freaky robots and such, with explosions and some weird and so far under-developed plot and characters. I like the action... and thats about it.
FLCL- Well... overall very odd, which is a plus for me, and I love the characters, but its slightly too over the top for me. Robots and weird bug like things coming out of people heads, giant bombs that are like baseballs, those damned HUGE eyebrows, way too weird, and there seems to be no real continuing plot.
FMA- My favorite anime, I love it even more than PA. Brilliant and various characters with very much development, wonderful story along with many good plot changes, bits of suspense and such here and there, loads of alchemy and the majority of the main army characters are named after plains in WW2. Great show.
GITS- Loads of great action in a realistic yet over the top (In a good way.) futuristic world that actually isn't post- apoclyptic (Or however you spell it...) setting. The great characters *cheers for Batou* along with their individual strengths and the ever changing plot centered around one of my favorite mysterious bad guys ever, the Laughing Man, are just two more plusses for me. Some of the show is rather boring though. Sometimes there's a streak of episodes that are nothing but talking about the Laughing Man or endless dialogue amongst the several annoying-voices Tachkomas (Sp?).
Thats about it for the anime, and I won't say anything about the other shows just yet. Oh, and I'm compltely nocturnal. I'm awake from 4:00-6:00 PM till 9:00 AM and for those sweet blissful hours of sleep that I have I get weird dreams of tonados.
