Despite being an exclusive content for the Playstation Network, i see some vids already out in the usual places. :lol: Not sure if they are subbed or not though.

Based on the trailer though this new anime looks amazing. Bones outdid themselves this time.

So i watched the show. Looks interesting. Setting looks sorta like Last Exile and we have a girl with an aero-glider remeniscent of that in Nausicaa. End of ep 1 the guy turns into that creature thing that sorta reminds u of Nirvash's true form. Lots of veins morphing and stuff ala Akira.

Looks promising but getting proper encodes of this show might be impossible.

WOW. :o

This anime seems promising. BTW, Random Curiosity already blogged episode 1:

Everytime I saw the pic, I got the feeling that the girl is being violated by the mech.... :ph34r:

You mean this: :ph34r:

BTW....if that's the female lead, why does she remind me of someone, a character from another anime with the same hair color and facial features. :huh:

Cuz you didn't do anything bout it. :p

Ep 2....wow....rag tag group of randoms and some orphans on an airship....again? :lol:

Some parts of ep 2 had quality issues but i like it. No idea what's a Xam'd yet but it sorta looks anime-version of the Hulk. Strangely his clothes were intact after the ordeal too.

Has good potential. Will be following this series. ;)

First link I've found:

"http://www.datorrents.com/download.php?id=38386&name=[Effort]%20Bounen%20no%20Xamdou%20-%2001%20[720p][A6B48B30]%20.mkv.torrent"

You'll have to copy/paste....wouldn't post the link correctly.

Can't wait to check it out.

Hmm, reminds me a lot of Eureka 7, Nirvash final evolution, Holland type captain, orphans, airships. Episode 1 to 3 could be found on the web, I suggest looking at /m/chan for direct download links.

I watched the very first ep yesterday: it certainly looks promising; I like the overall designs, somewhere between Nausicäa and Last Exile, and the plot seems interesting although it looks like this show has a lot of similarities with Eureka 7 (the situation between the main hero and his father, the mysterious white haired girl, the group of some sort of 'freedom fighters' in a big plane, etc) which is not a bad thing to me...

I wasn't in the mood to watch the second ep yesterday aswell but I'll probably keep on this series

EP 5 and the quality is still spetacular. I only wished Frontier had this kinda quality. :(

Man, if I said it once, I said it a thousand times. For the life of me I do not understand why a series such as this (or say, Eureka 7) can look so good, but somehow they are unable to even come close when it comes to the newest entry of the Macross franchise.

HG curse? :huh:

Anyway, just downloaded epi.3 to 5, going to watch it tonight.

Do Akiyuki's parents truly believe that he is alive now? Or, are they thinking something like, "Oh how cute, his girlfriend forged his handwriting! It's nice that you feel that way, Haru, but I hope you get over his loss the way we have."

I was under the impression that they

realize that he is alive. At least his mother does. She seemed to refuse to accept the possibility of him being dead from the start. Not so sure about his dad, though; he seems to be too focused on his guilt over the last war. The dad seems to almost

wish ill-fortune on himself and his family, to atone for his involvement with the humanform weapons project.

I haven't had time to check this out, really. 5 episodes in, what do you guys think about this show?

I think it's seven episodes in now... episode 6 came out 2 days ago, and episode 7 was supposed to be released at the same time. Haven't found 7 yet, though...

I think the show is amazing! It's kind of hard for me to quantify what I like about it, but it has a cool, appealing "feel" to it. The animation and character designs are great, as is the music. In a lot of ways, it feels like something from studio Ghibli; the character and mech designs feel simultaneously familiar and alien. The world in which the story takes place is pretty interesting; it feels kinda steam-punk, kind of modern-day, kind of near-future.. It's like a fairy-tale world mixed with a dash of apocalypse.
