  1. darn it.. I wish people wouldn't use Quicktime! Quicktime was awesome back in the day, until Apple got the bright idea of wanting to charge EVERYONE to use it... so the "free" version is full of "please buy/upgrade me" garbage. $30 to make the "buy me crap" go away, I'd paypal them $1 just to end the freeware-ads. Not to mention an obtrusive tray icon/app that was a memory hog and buggy even when inactive... and the only way you could disable it was to use RegEdit and delete the Run event (and do this every single time you "have" to use the quicktime player/plugin, because it would re-create the entry).

    EDIT---- Quicktime 7 you can now disable the tray icon

    Not to mention that Quicktime Player for PC is 21 frackin Megs!

    [/Rant]

    beyond that... OMFG! this is good :blink: I think they have a future in the industry :)

  2. It was the ending that killed it for me.  I really recommend stopping at ep. 20.

    completely understand.... but condeming the whole series: "I completely and utterly despise this show" just because you don't like a few episodes (admitedly, the ending is supposed to be a big part of any show). :( If that were the case I would DESPISE EVERY ANIME I watch (due to an ending, a bad episode, a character)... Cowboy Bebop... Evangelion.... Macross... Robotech.... Trigun... and countless others. If ya' hate the ending, state so... everyone else has :lol: But those first 20 episodes are incredible IMO, and the first 11... I could watch them over and over and over and over again

    EDIT----

    should also add... I have yet to see the Movie, so I don't know if the ending was changed or not.

  3. my (and a lot of other peoples) complaint is how the last episode was done, "rushed" is one common word used to describe it. The ending should really be turned into an OVA (like Evangelion) or an additional two to three episodes.... anywaysies

    I do NOT want to give away anything about the story itself ;)

    it has all the good points of Anime: Love, Hate, violence, mecha, nudity and mild sexual content :D If your offended by animated sexual content, you won't miss much of the story (only some character building) by skipping episode 15 ;) I can get seriously involved in the anime I'm watching... this is one of series you don't know whether to be pissed off, sad, or happy... 'cause you mood will change in about 2-3 minutes.

    Oh and not to mention, a very dark and powerful score to fit every episode/event/action sequence... like any good anime should :)

  4. :rolleyes: what ever.... not going to get into the flame war about why XYZ anime is underrated and what ABC can do with themselves :p

    here is track 7 from OST 2 Rondo Gate.

    "Death Tech"

    EDIT... corrected url

    probably one of my favorate songs that stands out every time I watch the series... I think its near the end of episode 4 if memory serves me correctly... anywaysies.... if you listen to the whole song, after the initial 10-15s of audio I hear "popping", but it may be my ears/stereo playing tricks on me.

  5. speaking in general....

    taking any anime series you liked... if you wanted to find others you "might" like... do you guys look at the:

    Director?

    Screenplay Writer?

    Original Creator?

    Other?

    Sometimes when I look at the works between the three... I get widely different types of Anime... just trying to get an idea of where I might focus my next paycheck or two on ;)

  6. Listened to OST I while I was at work today.. a little less Manic than normal... maybe the "popping" I heard was just perceived. :shrug: I'm at home now and listening to all the MP3s I DL'd on my stereo (burned to CD). So far so good, if all turn out ok, I'll share them :)

    the Blue Gender soundtrack has a lot of treble to bass "bursts" that are kinda hard to distinguish from popping.... the soundtrack is very dark and

    "heavy metal-ish" gawd I love it :D

  7. dang... I need to keep up with the news... from ANN.. never knew they were making a "new" transformers movie.

    Bernie Mac Joins Transformers Movie (2006-05-09 16:59:09)

    The BBC reports Bernie Mac and Josh Duhamel have signed onto Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie. Mac will reportedly play a salesman who gives star Shia LaBeouf his first Transformer. The $100 million film comes out July 2007. Source: Twitch [ discuss (1 posts) ]

    Bernie Mac playing a character in the Movie? :lol:

    do you find that its better to follow the works done by the Director, the

  9. I found a few japanese sites/references to the OSTs... 3 releases? dang!

    >Blue Gender Dope Gate Original Soundtrack 1

    >Blue Gender Rondo Original Soundtrack 2

    >Blue Gender Open Gate Original Soundtrack 3

    But I can't seem to find a dealer selling them... wish I could read Japanese, using babelfish on every google hit is just annoying :(

    I even tried egay, though I find it odd that of all countries that are NOT listed, eBay Japan?
