wolfx Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 For the people who thought the GPM storyline was crap since it never resolved anyuthing about the war between them and the Phantom Monsters, hopefully this sequel will have it. Gunparade Ochestra has a whole new set of characters and what looks like PenPen the penguin in a trenchcoat. The mecha looks cool though. Reminds me abit of Aestivalis. http://www.gpo-anime.jp/ Quote
chrono Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 Well the first one only sold anything because of Kosuke Fujishima being involved and since fans will be fans it's not really surprising that they are trying to earn more money from it. It's the same with the Sakura Wars materials. Frankly the character designs don't make me want to watch this and the mechs look pretty damned chessy in a MTNT kinda way, and the CG work is VERY sub-standard. Quote
wolfx Posted November 14, 2005 Author Posted November 14, 2005 That bad huh? That's a shame. I only heard good things from what little ppl who have played the game. Quote
chrono Posted November 15, 2005 Posted November 15, 2005 Oh I'm sure the games are fine! But really the only thing that they have going for them is the art involved. So it already has an instant fanbase of some size. It's the same way with movies and TV shows(anime included). Toss out a 'name' that is highly recognizable(Cameron? Spielburg? Cruise? Lina Inverse?) and people will be attracted. Quote

Apparently no game has reached that height of non-linearity gameplay and thus its fanbase. You could be the Class president/Combat General, the mechanic, the pilot, or some other role in the classroom, then you get to date different girls, and you see your class diminish as more of your classmates die in battle. Sounds real cool to me. Quote
wolfx Posted December 4, 2005 Author Posted December 4, 2005 Just watched this yesterday. I have to say its pretty good. Or i am just a sucker for highschool kids being part of a military unit and piloting mecha. Something curious though, from the OP scenes, seems there are people who can summon wolves and big swords ala magic. Magic in GPO? Weird. Quote
Fort Max Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I've seen two episodes of this so far and it's not bad at all. Not sure I like the mechs in this one but it's all about the characters. Quote
