@zaldar said: @Turambar: but both have a space connection and to me show the Japanese association with space. I mean even EVA does to some extent. Japan really does love their space operas or at least did. We still have that show this season about the female space pirates. DID is the key word there. Also I'd say Bodacious Space Pirates is banking on something other than Space to appeal ...

@rubberluffy said: So is this somewhat comparable to Planetes? That is a pretty great down-to-earth (HAH) space series.No, Planetes is about loneliness in space. This is one's path to becoming an Astronaut. They appeal to very different emotions.

@zaldar said: I doubt NASA is involved given that is a Japanese show and the Japanese have always had a space fascination. Anything that helps keep America interested in Space though is a good thing to my mind, as we need to be out there now rather than later.

@FoxxFireArt said: @Turambar:I was talking about how the original EUREKA SEVEN took place on another planet that wasn't Earth, but this one takes place on Earth. I know. The original Eureka Seven also explicitly states it takes place on earth on episode 47.

@FoxxFireArt said: So far, this seems like sequel in the loosest of terms. How the original EUREKA SEVEN took place in a nondescript planet. This series takes place on Earth and in Okinawa. The show explicitly states it takes place on Earth actually.

@DBZ_universe said: @Turambar: true... but still there are alot of spite battles in their... if it's popularity than is good.... Have you ever had the opportunity to play the role of king maker in game? Someone who won't win, but held the key to other players being in first place? You can court favors from everyone, and be as spiteful as you wish because you have no more stake. That ...

@Destinyheroknight said: @Turambar:Also, while the Shounen-filled roster is both expected and depressing for a mainstream poll, seeing Captain Harlock make it for more than one round is a pleasant surprsingIt not full of Shounen titles I'd say any Shounen title with enough pull to be in there is in there.

@DBZ_universe said: That was horrible... is Voltron the only character they know?? he is like in every match. It's a bracket, and it's won in every single round. I'm not seeing a problem. Also, popularity contests is pretty much want any of these types of competitions comes down to being. I in fact prefer the more transparent nature of a contest such as this compared to battle threads we'd find ...

created a blog post Gundam 00 The Movie: A Wakening My Fanboy Rage.
This post might be better titled "How Cross Textual Knowledge Bits me In The Fucking Ass" I finally decided in a bout of grad school workload caused insomnia and depression to jump the shark and watch this movie. I always knew it was bad, but man. Mannnnnnnnn. The story and character portrayals are bullshit. Building the ultimate Gundam for the ultimate Innovator so it can go fly off and take ...

@zaldar said: Well I will say then that my issues were likely to be with what was the main aspect of the show and how that main aspect led them to the themes they made. All of your points are correct (though I don't think the humans have to get along with the srub coral I still think they could be destroyed or forced to stay asleep), but it is ...

The internet has allowed for the acquisition of anime through mediums other than network television to become far easier, and the decrease of anime on TV has more to do with the rise of torrents and streams more so than a decrease in popularity. The same can be said of anime products as it is now far easier to purchase such things online than at a brick and mortar store. ...

Macross II didn't age poorly. It was never good in the first place. "Rock and Roll saving the galaxy" is something only accurately attributed to Macross 7 because Basara is one hell of a single minded rock star. What Macross II is trying to ape, the original SDF Macross, did not have any such theme. Minmay's song, humanity's protoculture, defeated the initial Zentradi invasion through pure culture shock. But the ...

Cool as it might be that they are VAs in the game, game play clips of the game makes it seem incredibly generic. I'll pass.

created a blog post It's Robot Voting Time.
The nomination phase for the second annual Sai Mecha has started once again. This is a time for bloody battle, vitriol filled hate, and the drinking of the tears of anyone who thinks Shin Getter Robo has a chance of being nominated. Head over to the the main site for all the information on how the brackets will break down, but I'll leave the rules for submissions here. 1. ...

Different strokes and all that jazz. The philosophical discussion was what made me like the franchise in the first place.

Should I watch Fate/Zero or Fate/Stay Night first?
on the General Discussion board.
You will not have any issues following the story of Fate Zero without reading Fate Stay Night. The hour long first episode spends a long time (perhaps too long) setting up the premise. What you will be missing out on is some of the call backs and fan service moments of the original story. More than anything else though, Fate Zero is simply a better produced show.
