wolfx Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Trailer: Official website: http://www.xamdou.com/ Its an exclusive downloadable rental for ppl with the PS3. How it works and how to download in blog below: http://www.omonomono.com/2008/07/16/i-got-xamd/#more-421 Despite being an exclusive content for the Playstation Network, i see some vids already out in the usual places. Not sure if they are subbed or not though. Based on the trailer though this new anime looks amazing. Bones outdid themselves this time.

protogarland Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Interesting. It looks as if they took some ideas from Miyazki's sci-fi/fantasy mixture. One of the first things I thought of when I saw the trailer was that it had hints of Nausicaa style themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Random Curiosity already blogged episode 1: http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008/07/17...st-memories-01/ Everytime I saw the pic, I got the feeling that the girl is being violated by the mech.... You mean this: 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. Cuz you didn't do anything bout it. http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/6084/dukehh5.jpg All Hail Duke Togo!!! The Karaoke King!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Ep 2....wow....rag tag group of randoms and some orphans on an airship....again? 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.

Morpheus Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlightman Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I saw episode 4 review from Random Curiosity, anyone else has seen it? Watched the first two episodes, haven't gotten around to watching the next two. It's pretty good. Some of the designs are terrible (characters, organic stuff) but the stuff they took from Miyazaki is great. Here's the review that made me give it a shot.

yellowlightman Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Ep 5 by GGR is out. Cracks me up that fansubbers are putting their tags on this series, when all they're doing is encoding the video off the PS3. But then they're fansubbers, who are easily some of the biggest idiots in fandom, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gui Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Togo Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 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.

ssfsx17 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 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."

Sam Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 i like it enough to keep watching it personally. even though its got so much E7 same-ness through out. Im looking forward to some show offs of powers in it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
