Impreszive Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Gah! No raw to be found on streaming sites. GAFFFF!!!! Quote
RF-26AAC Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Gah! No raw to be found on streaming sites. GAFFFF!!!! Meh, I won't know what's going on till either one of you guys explains it for me (pretty please?) or the fansub comes out; I can't ask my wicked hot Okinawan GF to translate for me since she doesn't know I even watch anime anymore; this is the first series I have watched in FIVE YEARS, and I don't intend to travel back to the land of Otakudom, though I do have it to thank for my very limited Japanese skills and the development of my videography and editing skills. I misspoke about Luca but I meant to allude to his ultimate fate. I really don't see Michael dying yet, I really don't. He's the Max of this series (though it could be argued Alto is the Max of this series, bringing peace to the Vajra and Humans/Zen by marrying a half-vajra) -RF-26 AAC Edited August 14, 2008 by RF-26AAC Quote
MisaForever Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 If anyone dies, it should be Togo.... I mean Leon. He's the biggest prick and deserves to have a Vajra squash him. Or Klan, which I'd prefer to see honestly. Quote

Renato Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) SHINSEN RAWS is out!! Edit -- Damn. Too slow:P Edited August 15, 2008 by Renato Quote
Renato Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I was really pissed off this morning because as usual, I had set the timer on the VCR to record but as usual, some stupid really important game caused everything to be delayed, so I ended up recordning some other crap. Then I try to download a raw, but the only thing up is Horrible Raws, and they only have the first 9 minutes, for some reason, what sh1t is this? Bleah. Anyway, let's get more peers on the Shinsen version. Quote
Isamu Starkiller Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Well I had to leave for work before Shinsen put out their raw but from the 9 minutes I saw of Horrible (no medal this week guys) AI Kun seems to run from Brera, so I guess he wasn't planted on frontier to spy on Ranka by him. The scene in the parade totally felt like the footage of the JFK assasination. Quote
Renato Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I voted neutral, because all the tension regarding Leon's coup is right at the end with no so much build-up, and the end scene where Ranka is going up the stairs is just too cheesy. I STILL can't seem to get myself to care about this love triangle, and the series is almost over already. Mainly because it's a love triangle based on nothing, at least for Alto. It sucks that he's the one that has to choose, since he's not half as interested in either of them as they are in him. Quote
Renato Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 The scene in the parade totally felt like the footage of the JFK assasination. Yeah, I thought that's what they were going to do! But they waited till he enjoyed his concert. How nice. Quote
RedWolf Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I find amusing that Millia's constituents are quite enthusiastic about her while Glass' constituents isn't. Guess sex appeal and Valkyrie piloting counts huh? Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 OMFG!! it was such a busy day, my sister car broke down and I had to take it to get it fix, finally got my 1/60 vf-1s V2.0, and got more work on my custom VF-11 that I totally forgot today was thrusday for a new episode of frontier, hehehe.... downloading RAW now... Quote
Morpheus Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Is Leon coup the civil war the Japanese fan has been speculating? I could imagine Leon coup de'tat forces consist of Vajra's. And hurray for the destroid appearance as Ranka's concert guard Quote
Xeros Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I'll say the same thing that last week I miss speedsubbers Quote
d3v Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Yeey new Sheryl avatar finished New avatar is DECULTURE! Quote
MisaForever Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Guys, I don't know what you're saying about Ai-kun being at the concert, he wasn't. I checked through the whole scene and he wasn't present. STOP SMOKING THAT STUFF. Awesome episode, by the way. I could tell a lot of what was going on without understand the dialogue. Edited August 15, 2008 by MisaForever Quote
Kyp Durron Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 It would be funny if Ranka found Alto with Michel in a Yaoi moment :lol: No, it wouldn't. -Kyp Quote
MisaForever Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 All of these people logged on and no one is posting? What's going on????? Is there a party somewhere and I wasn't invited??!!!! Quote
mike_s_6 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Okay, um, is there a new ending song? Or just a new animation for Northern Cross? Quote
Morpheus Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 If anyone dies, it should be Togo.... I mean Leon. He's the biggest prick and deserves to have a Vajra squash him. Or Klan, which I'd prefer to see honestly. You want Vajra to squash Chibi Klan? I knew it your going to do that someday Quote
MisaForever Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 You want Vajra to squash Chibi Klan? I knew it your going to do that someday No no no no no!!! Gah, I mean Klan should squash Leon Quote
Morpheus Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 All of these people logged on and no one is posting? What's going on????? Is there a party somewhere and I wasn't invited??!!!! They probably waiting untill Azrael lift the spoiler tags, and that would be 3 hours from now. Darn its hot in here..... Quote
Sumdumgai Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 The sniper looks like he's using an Arctic Warfare Magnum with a grey stock. I doubt that the three vajra in the audience are otaku with good cosplay skills. Were one of those Ai-kun? I don't have an opinion yet. Lucca knows that Mihail saw him going off now with that "we're a team, don't go off doing your own thing now". Alto's mom looks manlier than he does. I wonder who's sweeping out who's leg in the trailer for next episode. Looks like the pantleg of an SMS pilot sweeping out the legs of someone wearing a blue suit. I'm guessing someone saves President Glass from eating a bullet, as it looks like the same style of pants and shoes he wears. I liked this episode. Quote
MisaForever Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 If some of you are trying to guess who's going to buy it, I'd say all the guys are up for grabs. Every single one of them was with their girl in this episode. Ozma/Cathy Michel/Klan Alto/Sheryl Luca/Nanase Ranka/Brera (I know, they're not a couple...) So it's anybody's guess. Quote
Product9 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) The sniper rifle looked a lot like a H&K PSG-1. The sniper looks like he's using an Arctic Warfare Magnum with a grey stock. I'm leaning toward Sumdumgai's suggestion that it looks like an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare design (which are prevalent in grey btw). It doesn't really look like a PSG1 at all... (PSG1 is semi-auto, not bolt-action, and has a pistol grip) It's interesting that in 2059 they still use bolt-action rifles... I wanna see a bolt action laser rifle! You know, it took me this long to realize that Brera is 2059 Kaifun! I wonder who's sweeping out who's leg in the trailer for next episode. Obviously it's Johnny trying to deal a final blow to Daniel Larusso I can just picture Leon saying "Get him a body bag Brera! YEAAAAAAH!!!" Edited August 15, 2008 by Product9 Quote
Master Dex Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Just watched the raw. Good thing I always wait for the HD raws anyway to watch the show as I wouldn't have seen it all this time, lol. I like the episode. Character-centric but it was ok. Development for all the people was good and a lot of setup for next week. The car scene with President Glass had JFK written all over it so much so that when I saw the guy prepping the sniper rifle I was completely unsurprised, but still ok with it. I'll bet somehow Glass is saved but it is plainly obvious that Leon is planning a coup and Cathy and Ozma reveal they know what's up. Ai-kun seems to be evolving but I don't think that was him at the concert. The wiggling antenna thing did raise my eyebrow at first but I think it was just another clever cosplay. I didn't catch the mention of the Dimension Eater rounds until someone here said it, that sounds... scary. Overall, decent episode. Next Deculture is going to be pretty action packed I bet(hope).

azrael Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 Since the Olympics delayed things (thank you MBS for updating us late), I'll make it 12 hours from the time the thread open. Which is now. Spoiler ban is lifted. -The Saotome family should be motivational speakers. -Ozma and Cathy's snooping seems to have earned them a tailer. On that note, Cathy and Ozma seem to a day late and a dollar short. Leon-1, Ozma/Cathy-0. -Leon has a nice weapon with the MDEs...$5 says it might bite him back in his ass. -Michael seems to have taken his date with Klan in stride. -Ranka and Sheryl pass the ball to Alto. Ball is in Alto's court now. Time for him to take it through the home stretch. Back to the Olympics watching I go. Quote
Major Focker Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 wow, no mechaporn at all, yet strangely satisfying. perhaps even one of the best. - deathflags seem to be waving for michel? - got a feeling it's grace who eliminates leon when he outlives his usefulness or becomes too ambitious - in DYRL, it was misa who ran into hikaru and minmei embracing, right? so misa=ranka in this instance. but given how they seem to be twisting every homage, this may actually be in favor of sheryl. i just hope sheryl lives past the revelation moment Quote
sdf2501 Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 That eye catch was something. And I'm probably the only one who thought "Doritos" after watching the ED. Quote
