i figured we should have a dedicated thread.

ep 7 was excellent. GTA start followed by a great finish.
more inroads were made to the character development.

Agree.

Ep 7 was great. You've got to love the confidence the makers of the show had to not make it a kiddy show. I'm quite certain this will get even better.

I´m gonna have to check this out if you 2 keep praising it more. =P

I was a little reluctant since Gonzo is pretty much shit when it comes to making anime.

if you watch without any great expectations then you will be pleasantly surprised. no grand mystery to be solved but lotsa character and action.

i dont think this is by gonzo though.

Ep 8, not as good as 7. Some build-up.

Post by **Quest** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 11:01 am

i just read that the series will last only 12 ep!
thats a downer...
=(

yea ep 8 was subpar compared to the other eps. the whole arc will be quite lame i think.

Hmm, certainly a disappointment. I thought they would make at least a 26 ep season. Well, it seems someone was not courageous enough to turn this into a franchise. I suppose it's too adult for that.

Fuck that sucks. I am enjoying this show and the characters, maybe they will make another 12 episode season after this one.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 12:15 am

Well, I was enjoying the single fact that this show is not aimed at kids, and as usual, adults get the shaft in anime. I really think it's sad that there aren't more anime shows for adults - without porn in them.

Hmm, Ep. 9. Lots of action, very stupid, and quite fun.

lol the whole mexican standoff atmosphere was kinda forced and cheesy but i figured that was the whole point when the ending was a spoof on terminator 2.
this ep definately compensated for the dullness in the previous one.

I loved the T2 spoof.

I loved the T2 spoof.

Yeah, i couldn´t help but laugh when i saw the maid running like that and sticking the knife in the car.

A second season has been already confirmed in japan, maybe the fanbase is getting bigger there.
Hopefully we´ll have the last episodes tranlated after it comes.

Where did you see a second season is going to happen???

I am fuxking grinding my teeth wanting more of this show, goddamn it its taking so fuxking long.

You're not the only one. But maybe now Shinsen will sub a few more eps. They've been doing nothing but Blood+ lately.

Post by **Deathbringer** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 1:31 pm

Yeah and despite how much i like Blood+, they should just finish the damn show, it´s 3 episodes away.

Protip: When Quest links good news, don´t forget to thank him.

Post by **Quest** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:01 am

i am just glad the subs are back again.
this anime isnt story-laden or has any deep meaning but the action and adventure and characters are fun to watch.

=)

This one had a little too much drama. That boy was annoying.

Post by **Quest** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:45 am

haha yea. pesky goody goody kid.
revy is still the star of the show though. the show is still about the tough as nails character.

Have to love watching two chicks beating the living shit out of each other, i was sorry for Rock when he tried to stop them.

Post by **Quest** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:57 am

ah rock... poor poor rock. he started out as the time-to-take-charge-of-my-life main character but now has been relegated to naive pansy/comic relief guy.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 9:28 am

Well, the best eps were those with Rock and Levy quarrelling about something, so I'm hoping for another one of those. It would seem unrealistic that Rock himself suddenly becomes a die-hard mercenary.

I don't think he has to take the backseat, just yet, though. Against the terminatress and her volatile counterpart he was just out of his league.

Post by **Deathbringer** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 2:19 pm

The manga is already on it´s way to the sixth book, i wouldn´t be surprised if we see Rock kicking some ass in the future.
