Gideon Krieg Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I read about it in Newtype magazine. I saw the reviews online. I watched clips from it. I could not wait to get my hands on it. Then I watched it and for all the awsome CG, and fighters scenes there was this THING clawing at my gut. Two guys having champaign and getting touchy feely? Sending out search groups in violation of orders for your pilot buddy? Naming your buddies plane and then getting jealous about it? WAIT A MINUTE!! WHAT THE HELL?? Did anyone else get this impression from Yukikaze. I am a huge mecha fan and could not wait for Yukikaze to come out. When I finally got the time to watch the damn thing, I was...............confused. Now I am not homophobic or anything but.... Let me say it another way, Times may change but standards must remain. Since when did the rump-rangers become part of anime. As minor characters in the story, sure. As the main characters? As doctor evil so gently put it "HOW BOUT NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Guppy Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 bah. Sure it's homoerotic but no more so than Top Gun. The whole Goose/Maveric love story - "you can ride my tail anytime!" etc. But I was very let down by Yukikaze. I struggled thru the 1st 2 episodes. The rather short fight scenes very great though.

Gideon Krieg Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Agent ONE, do you remember a documentary from the 80s called The decline of western civilization Parts 1, and 2? Seems kind of prophetic now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, yeah I actually think I do... I live in SF so I see the decline much faster than the rest of the world does. LOL, acutally all this strangeness is alright with me... I actually approve of gay dudes, it means more chicks for me to pork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
