What episode 35?
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
Above all anime, this one happnes to be my favorite. It's a fantasy/horror/romance/action/sci-fi title by Gainax that makes very limited sense, but I adore it. Has anybody else seen it?

I don't know if it's downloadable. It initially was available when it was being fansubbed, but it's been licensed for quite a while now. I haven't checked You Tube, since I own all the DVDs. For information, try the official site or Anime News Network. There's not much else on the web about it.

Hmm....watched the first episode....it's....okay, I guess. Nothing compared to Iria or Spider Riders though. The guy who rides atop the bull-bus thingy seems to be the character that's most interesting, though I can tell that they don't do alot of character building up in this anime, which sux....I guess it's a good watch just to pass the time though. I'll have to watch more episodes before I can truely judge. However, I did find anotherREALLY good anime, called DearS and watched a few eps. It kicks arse XD lolz, but still not Iria or Spider Riders <.<'

It's weird. Weird is really the ony way to describe it. I just tend to like freakish, confusing things. Later on there is character development, but I guess it's not really the focus.

I like freakish things as well...but I find ElfenLied and Iria more freaky than this one. I'm still going to watch the entire series...I just hope it gets better as the episodes go on. I'm almost done with downloading it to my computer....for now I just watch it a bit on YouTube. But I'm really getting into the Uninhabited Planet Survive anime....It's just too good XP

...hmmm...I've got all of the episodes and just watched number two. It's stillnot got any better. They just basically tell you the story up front and its really simple-like. It's good to stray away from this anime if you don't like shallow plot and characters. And this anime has started off way to quickly...to make it better, they should have kept the intro a bit longer and introduced the characters a bit more before having them "head off on a journey". They don't even have the balls to make a linking episode between one and two, and just use a petty flashback to compensate. This is really lame....-___-

However, I find the one character who rides atop the bull bus monster to be the most interesting, even in the least. The names of the characters do not stick in my head b/c they are so bland >.<' Maybe if I cared more about them, I'd remember the names as well. This is definately notone of the better animes out there but oh well...the animation is cute though, but it does get sticky in some parts. I could probably make better of this anime if it were in my hands. Too bad its a festering pile of crap on its own. Hopefully the next episode will be better....*sighs*

Yay! I actually quite liked episodes 3 and 4. We're FINALLY seeing just a tad bit of some character development. They're still trying to move this thing WAAAAY too quickly. I guess the creators just wanted to get it over with XP. I like Midnight. She's a very inetersting chaarcter, and the deepest on the show thus far. This anime still needs some serious work to make it to the charts (Imean c'mon, Poke'mon is better than this as far as chaarcters and movement of plat goes >.<') but it just might pull thruogh in the end if it keeps inching up bit by bit. I'm also taking a liking to the runaway theif girl...this story is actually too simplistic though, without regaurds to Midnight's separate little story going on in behind the scenes.

I'm not saying I don't like this anime at all, it just needs someone who knows how to develop a good story to work on it a little. I htink the best points of this so far are the animation and music...but hopefully we'll see more deep stories poking through as we go along....hopefully hopefully....I really want to give this anime a chance. I'm trying really hard to like it lolz

lol This anime is so kid-ish it's becoming kind of cute. It reminds me alot of Yu-Gi-Oh and Poke'mon in some ways. The villians are silly and funny, and the story is kinda cheesy and cute as well lolz I was expecting a dark, serious anime, but this one is starting to make me laugh a bit. They are finally doing some character development (I'm on episode 15). The reason I'm praising it so well now is because I feel high and I think I'm falling in love with someone on there >.<' Here I go again. I'm gonna make me and avatar eventually...of him....I want to bring him much candies (or children (in both ways *fanged grin), whichever he prefers XP) and have him fight alongside me to defeat the Spider Riders *blushes* But I still love Holu.....ERK....I mean Grasshop....yeah, they sound so much alike I just got the names mixed up...yeah...hahahaha....hahaha...haaaaa......>.<'

Okay....this anime rocks towards the end. I'm so glad I watched all of the way through XD I really enjoyed the ending, and this anime makes PERFECT sense to me. I love the allusions and deeper meanings behind the characters, their actions, and the stories....When you dig a bit deeper, this one actually can stick close to your heart.

I hope I'm able to watch it all over again in the future.....

And see my bishie SmExY Holu (or Horu, as some call him) >.<'

Yay then! I loved the ending.
Holu is pretty cute, though not as much as Solo.
