Beltane70 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Who cares about transforming toys? (Actually, I do!). Give me a 303 Devilfish and I'm a happy man! Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Oh look, they're kids... how very Xenogears of them. Quote
Fly4victory Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Oh look, they're kids. Well the TV series was half a show.... So the movie will either be good like the opening episodes of the series or put the franchise six inches under. I just hope the movie is enough to have the models re-issued since Bandai forgot to distribute them to the US? Guess demand was not that high. Quote
Aegis! Posted April 10, 2008 Author Posted April 10, 2008 When they say there's going to be new mechs, does it mean we ain't gonna see any more Kawamori LFOs ? Also, I wannna see TheEND in this movie too Quote
wolfx Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Btw for those who own the dvds, is it true that they re-animated the 3rd op? I remembered how dodgy the art was for that op. Is there a link on youtube or somewhere so i can see it? Quote

Vegas Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 i started watching the series and im up ep 10.....so far there are too much talking. am i gonna see alot of mecha porn on this series? Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) i started watching the series and im up ep 10.....so far there are too much talking. am i gonna see alot of mecha porn on this series? Its a story heavy series, and its an amazing story. There was plenty of action for me, but I guess it depends what you are looking for. Best representation of a relationship in anime that I've ever seen. All the characters are very well done. Edited May 27, 2008 by Duke Togo Quote
wolfx Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 It's the same on all mine. They didn't fix that on the final DVD release? Dayum. Thanks. Quote
emajnthis Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) I finished watching this series about two weeks ago. Absolutely loved it, especially the first 25 or so episodes really had my attention and wanting to open the next episode with each cliffhanger. It didn't necessarily lose me in the middle, but the direction was a bit less intense i felt, and the main characters were getting a bit too whiny (which in all fairness is how real relationships are, but it doesn't make it any more entertaining). Then somewhere towards the end it got really friggin awesome and the last five episodes or so blew me away. Oddly enough this was one of the first series i didn't watch with my wife and now i regret it 'cause she would've LOVED it. It also sucks that Bandai didn't go crazy with model and toys of this stuff, it really got the shaft for solid merchandise, I would pay seriously good money for a True Form and Spec 2 Nirvash, Devil Fish, and TheEND.

Duke Togo Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, the first 27 episodes may be some the very best anime I've ever seen. Quote

Mog Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 ^^So what exactly is this? A sequel? A DYRL-style retelling of the story? A side story that somehow fits in during the timeline of the original series? Looks interesting but would like to know more info. Quote
Bri Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 From what I have read on ANN it should be an alternate retelling of the series. Quote
emajnthis Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 "alternate" eh... maybe people die in this one Quote
wolfx Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Is it just me or are the current "kawamori involved" shows all getting "retellings". Sousei No Aquarion Macross Frontier Eureka 7 KISS DUM Quote
LinxCrossq Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Are you forgetting DYRL, M+ and Escaflowne? Quote
miles316 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Are all LFO's made out of a life form like the Nirvash? Edited March 17, 2009 by miles316 Quote
wolfx Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Are you forgetting DYRL, M+ and Escaflowne? M+ movie doesn't really count...i suppose. But yeah those too. Are all LFO's made out of a life form like the Nirvash? To be precise, they were all made from carcasses of Coralians. EDIT: Nirvash was special that its "carcass" had two cavities for where the cockpits will be compared to the rest that only had one. Also it was the 1st LFO to be made.

m0n5t3r Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOiXjNIvMAI woohoo... Eureka movie!... good to see that Eureka doesn't look as bad w/ movie scars compared to her scars in the series. thanks for the link... hope they make more than just the spec2 and type-end for the RD line... i want a devilfish... Quote
Morpheus Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Hmm, movie...I just want to see more action from Ray and his wife and less seven swell orgasm.... Quote
wolfx Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Nice trailer....i guess its confirmed a retelling then? Evil Holland is evil.....colorless Nirvash...hmmm...evil looking Devil Fish....awesome. Quote
Scream Man Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Only just finished the series and loved it (Though Renton bursting into tears every 45 seconds got a little on my nerves.) but don't see the poitn of this film. Even the animation looks exactly the same. i don't see what this will add to the story. Guess we'll see. i also agree with togo: some of the best relationships ever in an anime. the only real shame of the series is that it doesnt show you enough of the various characters at theend. there need to be a little more resolution I thought. Quote
Bri Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I doubt it will add much to the story. These movies are like a treat to the fans and to make some extra money of an existing succesfull series. I can remember an interview where Kawamori says that he likes to do an OVA or movie after a TV series. Producing a TV series is apperantly very stressful and the people who have worked on such a project tend to unwind a bit while working on an OAV or movie project after completing the series. Can't find it, but it ws some Q&A session with Kawamori and Kanno before Frontier. Quote
Mog Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Why didn't anyone here tell me about these earlier?!! NEW Bandai Nirvash Spec 2 The END Based on other figures in this Bandai Robot Damashii series, these things will probably be around 19 to 20 cm tall. And they're not model kits and do not require assembly. Credit to Toyark.com for bringing these to my attention. Quote
Beltane70 Posted May 8, 2009 Posted May 8, 2009 Those look awesome! I hope that they plan a Devilfish toy as well. Quote
m0n5t3r Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) news of these RD Side LFO figures have been out for quite some time, although it was posted on the Gundam Figure thread. the TypeEND is due out this month and the Spec2 next month... here's a link to a proto of the RD Devilfish that was shown at the Tamashii Nation show - RD Devilfish here's a link to the RD releases - http://tamashii.jp/special/robot_damashii/lineup/index.php Edited May 9, 2009 by m0n5t3r Quote
emajnthis Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I'm trying to buy this as a box set so i can watch it with the wife, where's the best/cheapest place i can find it that isn't a HK bootleg? Quote
Bri Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 Season 1 and 2 should be released on 16 june and 21 july this year. Got them both on pre-order at DVD Pacific for 28.49USD each. Quote
Wanzerfan Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 The only series that I know of that had two final episodes, the second of which at least fleshed out the story a little more. (I watched the series when it was on CN's Saturday night Adult Swim block) At least the main character and Eureka get to be together. Quote
wolfx Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Eureka 7 pocketful of rainbows movie is out on subs. Haven't watched it yet. Quote
Rbstr Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 All I know is that long haired Eureka is freaking hot. Quote
shiroikaze Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) The movie's pretty funky. Same characters, different situations; I don't like some of the changes. The movie didn't make too much sense to me, but then again I'm watching it raw and I started watching the series from the middle... Chiming in: Mermaid Eureka is awesome. So she and Renton were reborn at the end right? So why did she lose her memory/ability to speak? Edited July 2, 2009 by shiroikaze Quote

The movie isn't a sequel...or a retelling...it's like a new story...mostly...but also a bit of a sequel and a retelling. Yup. Quote
