NERV Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 i cant exactly make out a plot yet, but so far i love the style, animation, and soundtrack, already one of my favorite intros gainax does tend to put out bizzare yet interesting, quality animation, i am looking forward to see where this series goes.

Hoptimus Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 Its very interesting so far. I cant wait to find out what the twist is. Quote
Tomato Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 So far? Yeah that show was definitely interesting and very twisted. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 yeah...and so does the english audio for samurai champloo Quote
Fugly Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 For Samurai Champloo I think it's pretty good! I mean, it's no incredible "name-brand" dubbing like they do in Miyazaki flicks, but it's a *damn* sight better then FocksBox! Of course, that's just my opinion. As for Paranoia Agent, meh. Not really into weird-anime as much (though Evangelion was ok). Quote
Wes Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 How are you all getting this? Fansubed, or TV? Gainax has yet to really please me in any of their shows: "creativity" doesn't always mean "quality." I just liked the music of FLCL, and that's about it. Quote
NERV Posted June 7, 2005 Author Posted June 7, 2005 jwinges, dont put paranoia agent and scryed in the same lump, scryed is like a lame super sentai show, im sure once they introduce all the main characters itll become a monster of the week thing Quote
That NOS Guy Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 jwinges, dont put paranoia agent and scryed in the same lump, scryed is like a lame super sentai show, im sure once they introduce all the main characters itll become a monster of the week thing You're assuming it already isn't. Or is this just paranoia? -NOS Who has no idea of WTF he's saying anymore Quote

Panon Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Gainax have nothing to do with Paranoia Agent.. probably why it's such a good show. Scryed... ok show, but it belongs on Toonami, not Adult Swim. Samurai Champloo sucks. All style, no substance. Quote
jwinges Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 I'm sorry but some kid with a bat and a set of rollerblades isn't going to cause any paranoia in me. Scryed is definitely toonami material. It reeks of kiddiness. Cheesy as hell...might as well be Yugio for all I care. Samurai Champloo...I loved the story and action, hated the music. But I will add that it was a creative choice. I just can't stand rap. FLCL...funny cool and zany. still don't know if I like it or was just mezmorized by the insanity. Gainix...loved NGE and Gunbuster. Can't remember if I've seen anything else they've done offhand. Quote
1st Border Red Devil Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Paranoia? Trust the Computer, the Computer is your friend ... now where's my clone? Sorry, wrong Paranoia! Mine eyes have seen the coming of another Commie horde, If I can hold them off alone Hot Fun is my reward, "Please engage the menace, Citizen" I hear on my comcord, When will the Vultures arrive? (Chorus) Glory, Glory, Hail Computer Glory, Glory, Hail Computer Glory, Glory, Hail Computer My clone keeps marching on. They're advancing on all sides now and I'll soon be overrun, I try to open fire but there's a malfunction with my gun, So I toss a nuke grenade and then turn tail and run, When will the Vultures arrive? (Chorus) The Commies are all vapor now and for that I'm real glad, My geiger-counter indicates I took a thousand rad, I check with the Computer and find out that's not too bad, When will the docbot arrive? (Chorus) Quote
Oihan Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) I saw the first episode on AdultSwim the other night and it caught my interest. It looked like there was going to be a really good story. 8 episodes later and I'm asking myself just what the hell is this show about? I watched 9 of the 13 episodes in their entirety, and skimmed through the last 4...the show makes no sense whatsoever.... There's like no story whatsoever at all!!! There's this girl who creates Little Slugger to cover up what happened to her dog.... That's all I got of the 13 episodes. ....... What the hell does that have to do with the first episode though? What do the other episodes have to do with any of it? What do any of the episodes have to do with each other? They were more like individual stories of their own using the Little Slugger theme which don't seem to tie together the first few episodes.. The first few episodes were the only ones that made any actual sense to me... ....All I can say is WTF? ............... W T F?! Were these guys on crack, heroin, meth, shrooms and acid all at the same time or something??? Edited June 10, 2006 by Oihan Quote
Mowe Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Have yet seen it but I trust Satoshi Kon to do a great job, never doubted him. Quote
Oihan Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Have yet seen it but I trust Satoshi Kon to do a great job, never doubted him. 406610[/snapback] It'll keep you watching (it did me)...but it left me asking wtf and rather disappointed that the whole series is as random as it is and makes no real sense, as far as the rest of the episodes being all tied together with the first few episodes.

Nied Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Thread necromancy! Whatever I missed this last year, so I get to discucss it now. I liked how Paranoia Agent started, it was increadibly interesting but the ending was kind of a let down. I'm not sure why but it just felt kind of meh. I think I might have been expecting it to go in a different direcion than it did, and was disapointed when it didn't. Quote
NERV Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 i agree, i feel the ending to the series that did happen was decent, but i also feel they couldve easily done something better with the story they had been establishing Quote
agr33 Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 i have to admit that it has definatelt drawn me in! i really can't wait what happends next it is very haunting in its bizzar beautiful style Quote
