Anyone read/watched Rurouni Kenshin? I think its an amazing manga. I'm not so sure about the anime personally. They cut out the Enishi Arc, and made Aoshi (My fave RK character) look lame.

It better because the plot sucks. Aquarion has potential to be good, but the crappy plot and characters really hinder it.

There's just something about the way that they move that bugs me and lets leave it that.

Yes, but half of it is recapping recent events. The last half of it is pretty interesting. I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter. I'm hoping we finally get a Sho vs Agito fight out of this.

It will start getting better shortly after they do the Mugen Punch in ep 6; once I saw that I got hooked.

Anyway, eps 5-26 of Heroic Age require me to pay a dollar each to watch them unless I watch them subbed! Gah I distaste subs! :evil: Maybe I'll see some more later, I'm gonna wait to see how far DL can get.

On another note, guess who's been watching the first eight episodes of Brave Raideen on YouTube. 8-)

Episode 5 Dubbed: http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/heroic-a ... ee#English

You can find the other episodes dubbed on that website.

On a sidenote, I just found out that Zoids Genesis was on Veoh. Never got to watching it. Can't wait to watch it.

I am, thanks for asking. So far you can tell this was done by Tadao Nagahama (Combattler V, Voltes V, Daimos, and Daltanious), which it was and that's a good thing since you know it won't be too kid friendly (like Go Nagai's earlier anime) and not too dark (like Yoshiyuki Tomino's earlier anime). It might get darker later though, 'cause Tomino is co-director.

Upon further inspection of the other episodes at Anime Freak they don't have this "cut short" problem, only episode 22 has this. Thanks O Supreme. 8-)

Oh yeah, I hope you and DL find this funny, I watched episode 15 of the original series and I couldn't resist:

Should I watch GaoGaiGar in subs or the dub version? I only seen the first few episodes in subs, and they where pretty cool.

Well I just ordered .Hack GU Trilogy. Should be getting that in the next week or so.
Apparently SWTOR said that I can invite 25 people for a 7 day trial of the game. PM me if interested.

Finally finished all the episodes of Inuyasha, even the Final Act ones... and must I say, it was a truly awsome anime... I cannot wait for the Final Act episodes to be dubbed...

Still struggling to find Revolutionary Girl Utena vids... I managed to find episode one, and that was quite good, but I can't find the rest...

It's the future - the miraculous wonders of the time are thanks to the Shizuma Drive, a clean renewable source of energy. The world is in constant danger of being taken over by the Big Fire Organization which seeks world dominination through strength, cunning and power. To battle these evil doers we have the ESPers and The Big 10. They have at their beckon call Daisaku Kuzama, who pilots the world's most powerful robot - Giant Robo!

A plot is unhatched by Big Fire, to use 3 special Shizuma drives to take over the world. The plot is suggested by Kome, a member of Big Fire, along with Emmanuel Vogler, using an alias. These drives pilot The Eye of Volger, which can shut down all Shizuma drives in a large area if 2 are used, the entire world if all three are used. They test this in France. Dr Shizuma has one drive and escapes Big Fire, to be saved by Giant Robo!

The ESPers gather to find these drives and stop the eye. Two of these drives can pilot the Eye so it begins its march across the globe by to Bashtarle (sp?) to use all three drives (which the ESPers have one and Big 10 has 2) to shut down EVERY Shizuma drive on the planet.

Along the way, Giant Robo is defeated and we find out his power source is nuclear - a fear of the world, so he is locked away to avoid any danger. Diazuku using him as a tool, and not as a partner broke Giant Robo's spirit allowing him to be defeated. Also, along the way we find out Emmanual Vogler is the son of the one of the scientists who crated the Shizuma drive. The drive is not perfect, it creates a build up in the atmosphere of gases that when reach a critical point will destroy the atmosphere, killing every living thing. (this isnt explained til the final aired episode).The four scientists who invented the Shizuma drive, 3 are for using it as imperfect, Vogler says no and tries to stop them and destroy their work - eliminating the unsafe drive system. An accident occurs sealing him in Bashtarle. His son, Emmanual (and daughter Genrei) are ESPers that can teleport, so his son stays with him as Genrei teleports away with Professor Go (who becomes an ESPer later).

Vogler sees the Shizuma drive years later as Emmanual brings it to him and devotes the rest of his life to inventing a way to fix the imperfection. He locks himself away and finally lets Emmanual into the lab to die in his arms with the 3 unknown Shizuma drives waiting for him.

Emmanual wants to use these drives for revenge on the world for disgracing his father. Hence the plot of the story. Professor Vogler only wanted to use the drives to reset the Shizuma drives to make them safe. This is explained in the final aired episode.

In the unaired episode, Kome was using Emmanual to take over Big Fire and the world. He has replaced the head of Big Fire with the leader of the Big Fire's 9 lords daughter, Sunni, so he can lead unquestioned as Sunni is hypnotized. The ESPers along with Big Fire move together to stop Kome and engaged the Big Fire super roberts Neptune and Radon.....its all sorta a cliff hanger.

Either way you want. Fun fact about Gai's voice actor: It's the same guy that voiced Shiro Amonda in 08th MS Team AND the N64/SSBM version of adult Link! Yes, Legend of Zelda Link. So to a small extent he's got the power of the Triforce on his side. :P

Nice plot summary, Wataru. Shame I already knew all of it from watching the series, and it doesn't help the show make any more sense. My problem comes from the stupid, random-ass powers that the characters have that are given absolutely NO explanation.

Greetings,

also to add to AH's comment about GGG. I own the entire series on DVD. While the English dub is pretty good, for some reason it was only done for the first half of the series (Something about a cut in budget because Media Blasters was putting all their resources into the Voltron DVD restoration). But at anyrate, you wont find the latter episodes dubbed anywhere because they dont exist. But dont let that deter you, GGG is a fun series that combines both Transformers & Super Robot themes into ONE! I just wish GGG Final would have got a R1 DVD release, but I know they are all available to view on-line as well.
