Not sure what made you think I was comparing the two anime or I said TTGL was better or worse than anything. You started that, not me. I posted two separate comments in one post about two things others have said. You are getting a little too defensive on this completely none issue.

You didn't finish TTGL if I am not mistake. I believe you said you couldn't get into it, so I am not sure how you can say what it does and does not have.

Also, I was bringing up SnM to change the subject, not twist it into that as well.

I watched about 10eps to give it a chance.

I wasn't getting defensive. I thought it was a good debate we were having.

But your first post on the matter did come across as comparing them.

I liked how the managed to integrate the theme of Spirals into everything. Even how the series kept spiraling more and more out of control.

New Subject:

For those who have not seen Seirei no Moribito. It is one of the best IMO. It has great animation, fluid fight scenes, truly memorable characters, and one of the most bad ass women in anime, Balsa the Spear Wielder. It also has a very human element were people react to situations like they should in the time period considering their position in the matter. Not with some superficial person mission bull...except for maybe 2 people in very specific situations.

If you like girls with weapons, anime set in fantasy feudal Japan, or hot older women, anime in general, you need to give this a try.

Fully agree with Moribito. Truly a great.

I am watching Freedom right now in 1080P and its excellent. (beautiful animation and sound) and the characters are a lot easier to watch than the punks in Akira (but the quality of it in 1080p was excellent too)

Thanks much

You have mentioned Mushishi many times and even Mwu but I keep getting sidetracked. Il try and focus better

Freedom is quite excellent. I could've sworn I got you to watch that one already tho. Meh, my mind must be going at my old age. lol.

Gotta look into this Mushishi myself.

How you liking Banner?

Found a movie you might enjoy as well. Gin-iro no kami no Agito. Also known as Origin - Spirits of the Past

well I freaked over Crest(FTW!) Banner 1 is ok (I kind of feel like they should have stopped with Crest)

I am on the last 4 eps of Banner of the Stars 1 and will see some of 2 tonight.

But in the back of my mind I really want to see Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Just been reading the nice number of posts I missed whilst I was out. Here's my two cents:

TTGL took me a few attemps to watch. At first it really is a hate/love thing because it's quite over the top right from the start. But once you're hooked it really is one hell of an exciting anime to watch. One of those that kept me jumping from my seat in cheer and jubilation as each new epic scene was underway.

Moribito and Mushishi absolute treat to watch. Moribito I watched after Kenshin since the synopsis was one of the closest (wandering warrior). Very different, but none the less one of those timeless gems of an anime. Mushishi I watched this summer, and it has great atmosphere, the soundtrack and artwork really take you in, with of course a story that is first rate.

This season Dance in the Vampire Bund is being every bit the anime Dullahalla! isn't.

Given thanks to everyone who's posted about these fantastic titles. And also picked up Freedom, Wolf's Rain and Banner of the stars for my "to watch".

Anime Nation is good Club that it is

Before you watch Banner of the Stars, you need to pick up and watch Crest of the Stars. It's the first of the series.

OK, cool will do, thanks for letting me know

Speaking of gin-iro, here's a review by yours truly...

currently watching 'Dance In The Vampire Bund' - Because Im a bit of a lolicon ^_^

 

[kurosagi01]

I am currently watching Gundam-X great series but it sucks they had to end it so quick with only 39 episodes or so.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Yep going to be a new one and it will be starting in a few days.

Gundam Unicorn will air its first episode in Japan on February 20, 2010, the series will consist of 6 OVA’s.

Set 3 years after the events of Char’s Counterattack, a young man is caught in a deadly conflict between the Earth Federation and Terrorist Organization “The Sleeved” as they battle for an object that is said to have changed the course of Human history. Based on the Novel written by popular Japanese author Harutoshi Fukui

The June issue of Kadokawa Shoten’s Monthly Gundam Ace magazine will officially announce on April 25 that an anime adaptation of Harutoshi Fukui’s Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn space robot novels has been green-lit for this winter. Kazuhiro Furuhashi (Le Chevalier D’Eon, Rurouni Kenshin, Zipang) will direct off a script written by Yasuyuki Muto (Afro Samurai: Resurrection, Le Chevalier D’Eon, Persona -trinity soul-).

The Gundam Unicorn story is mainly set in the year of Universal Century 0096 — three years after Char’s Counterattack, the last anime to feature the protagonist Amuro and antagonist Char of the first Gundam anime series. Before penning Gundam Unicorn, Fukui wrote the stories of the C-blossom – case729 and Samurai Commando: Mission 1549 manga.

3 years after Chars.. Can't wait to see the first ova.

I don't have any issues with universal century since most of the best gundam series is based in that era like Zeta gundam.
I am looking forward to gundam unicorn though.

I'm with you. If your a die hard gundam fan, then you know how 0080 and Char's is, what most people will say, the stable series for Gundam. I'm happy with the way they went. I all ways wondered how it would look if they redid Chars Counterattack now.. The color and textures they can give to it..

 

[kurosagi01]

now if they re-made char's counterattack into todays animation it be total kick ass.
the 1st gundam was brilliant too it had quite abit of an twist with like Amuro meeting lalah but he loved her and char loved her too...And the battle was epic.

Very true. The remake would be very sweet! I need to try and watch Gundam Seed.. after the first "movie" came out, I stopped watching it..

 

[kurosagi01]

Gundam Seed storyline is very similar to original Gundam series like...
Arch Angel= White Base
Kira Yamato(Coordinator for Earth Alliance)= Amuro Ray(Newtype for Earth Alliance)
Strike Gundam= RX-78 Gundam
Earth Alliance vs ZAFT (Zeon*Space Colonies*)

Now G Gundam was an epic series,i like the concept of a Gundam Vs Gundam and each country has their own gundam representative

Yeah, Seed does have a lot going for them like the orig.

G gundam was epic. It made me think of Zoids every time I watched it. Oh, the good old days..

 

[kurosagi01]

G gundam was epic. It made me think of Zoids every time I watched it. Oh, the good old days..

I sure have watched Guindam series in a bizarre order:
Gundam Wing->Gundam Seed->Seed Destiny->G Gundam,Gundam X(watched half of it at the time but now i am finishing it off)->Zeta Gundam-> original Gundam->char's attack

lol last time i have watched G gundam was like 2-3(17 now) years ago and i loved it,it does remind me of Zoids Century Zero,Zoids is a good anime series too i might add specially Zoids Chaotic Century and Guardian Force.

 

[Cold Storm]

Yeah, Zoids was great. i enjoyed watching it all

 

[FreedomEclipse]

the thing with Gundam Unicorn - the models have been out for YEARS but mainly as special editions or something similar to the '.Ka' series models. so im very curious as to why its taken them this long before coming out with just 6 or 7ep OVA.

Gundam Wing was also the first series i ever watched.


I reckon that Gundam F91 needs a re-make. ya'll probably know that F91 was originally meant to span at least 20-30eps but theres talk that there was an internal despute between the voice actors & a lot of them ended up leaving & the studio just didnt have the budget to carry on with production (or something simillar) so they did what they could & crushed about 10-15eps down into a 1hr movie. Gundam F91 is probably the most underrated Gundam ever but it was such a technological advancement over the older RX series. they need to get as much as the original crew back together as they can, sit down & rewrite it.

 

[Cold Storm]

The reason, probably, why it took so long. You got the thought of 00 coming out, so they had the feeling that it was going to make everything good. Also, just now thinking as I type, they had a "remake" of Char's Counterattack not to long ago. Could be waiting for that to come out, make it fresh again in everyone's mind and boom.. a story of 3 years later..

Just what my thoughts are.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

blah - if i was eligable for custom title - id put 'Resident Gundam Fanatic'

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I watched about 10eps to give it a chance.

I wasn't getting defensive. I thought it was a good debate we were having.

Well 10 episodes is enough to see if you like something or not. Glad you gave it a chance, sorry it wasn't for you.

I don't like to get into debate on general forums like this as this discussion started with someone who has not seen E-7. The debate something we would have to reveal too much about that series and I don't really want to ruin it for that guy or have this page covered in "Spoiler" boxes.

I have not seen Crest of Stars, or any anime with "of Stars" in the title.....i think. I have never heard of Freedom. I think I will give Monster a shot, but I don't think I am going to like it. I am on Episode 50 of Ippo so I will need something new soon....ignoring the fact I have the first 4 episodes of like 8 different series (my standard sampler) and 2 complete series I own that have not even been touched.

kurosagi01 those simularities were not accident. The Gundam Seed was suppose to be a "new" version of the original series. It was a sudo graphics update. Gundam 00 is also parallel to Gundam Wing in the same way, but I have a hard time with that parallel. While it may be true from productions standpoint, there differences between the two are why I love Gundam 00 and Wing gets under my skin in a bad way.

 

[MKmods]

Have you ever said anything and later on REALLY wished you hadent

today while I was searching for who recommended it in the first place I saw the "Banner" in ur post and realized there is a "Banner of the Stars" and even a Banner2 and 3 and im honestly more excited than if I had just hit the lotto

Well to me Crest of the Stars was spectactular and at the top of my Best of List.

Last 2 nights I saw all 3 seasons of Banner of the Stars patiently hoping it would get better and it just kept getting worse.
All 3 seasons of banner of the Stars was a chore to watch.

Definitely not recommended (Banner series)...

F91 gundam was a brilliant OVA i loved F91 aswell amazing machine.

What I loved.. Gundam wise that I thought should of got more attention. Besides F91... Astray ones..
