Title: Himu is crazy Champloo is awesome.
Post by: Madrun Badrun on May 20, 2007, 08:25:02 PM
I just finnised the first 6 eps.  The gay Dutch trader was awesome. 

Dutch man:  Maybe someday I can live in this country.  Maybe when everyone isn't so tight-assed"
Mugen:  I think people will always be tight-assed around you"

So far it feel like a good companion piece to Bebop.  Though there haven't been any of those super serous eps like Spikes arch that made Bebop so good.

Keep spoilers spoiler!!!

It's pretty good, but nothing great. The first episode set a high bar, which the series never ever matched or exceeded.

That's why I find the series so disappointing. Not because it isn't Bebop in Japan, but because the rest of the series has nothing on the quality of the first episode, which was bad fucking ass.

I think he means episodes that have no correlation to one another and don't feel like they have one concrete theme, like Bebop did. It makes the characterization and story feel random, much like a kids afternoon program show.

I think people have gotten spoiled by series that have these long-running storylines.  There's a place for shows that have stories that can be wrapped up in 30 minutes.  Absolutely nothing wrong with 'em!

Yeah, I have no problem with that at all, I love Bebop after all, but Champloo was lacking..SOMETHING. I don't know, I haven't finished it. I've seen more than half the series tho.

I like the one where they run into the foreign blonde girl who seems to be a giant compared to everybody else.

It's a really good show, though, basically just an animated version of one of the historical dramas that typically air on Japanese TV.

Honestly this is the best ep cause its so absurd, but I love the Sake and Evil Doubles episode too.

For a character thats in 13 eps of an anime, Lady Meow is pretty high up on my list of favorite anime characters tho.

Destiny is obnoxious because basically the heroes from the first 26 episodes become tyrants and fuck over the main character a bunch. I know the people who made it probably wanted that but in such a cotton candy fluff series of gundam it doesnt quite work.
Title: Re: Himu is crazy Champloo is awesome.
Post by: Ichirou on May 20, 2007, 10:59:25 PM
From what I've read, the first Seed was never intended to have a sequel, so when Destiny was announced, there was no real story planned, no outline, no structure...they just kept pulling stuff out of their ass, which would explain why it's apparently so terrible.  I know I must see it someday, since it's Gundam, but I'm not looking forward to it.

Also, like in Seed, the mecha design are AWFUL.

Fukuda and his wife, who was one of the script writers, pretty much fucked things up with the production, preventing it from having any semblance of coherence. They threw Kira back into the fold due to his popularlity with Japanese fans, but then had no idea what the hell to do.

No third series, but there will be a SEED theatrical movie to wrap things up.

"Currently in production, this unnamed theatrical entry of the Gundam SEED anime series will be set sometime after the most recent series Gundam SEED Destiny. Little information exists, although there is a brief teaser trailer featuring the characters Kira Yamato, Shinn Asuka, Athrun Zala, Cagalli Yula Athha and Lacus Clyne. Hoko Kuwashima, voice actor of character Stella Loussier has also stated on her "SEED Club blog" that the character will somehow also have a role in the film, presumably in flashback scenes."

I'd like to see Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer get released over here, though.

The next Gundam TV series is going to be one of two things from what I'v heard:

1. Brand new Gundam IP
2. UC continuity Gundam

Yes, I guess so. Cowboy Bebop, Planetes, Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Now and Then, Here and There are pretty good suggestions for the non anime fan as well because they're pretty much the best anime series' ever.

I'd be really, really surprised if that happens.  As far as I know, no Gundam manga or novel has ever been adapted into a long animation form, be it OAV or TV.

If they were to do that, I'd prefer they adapt Hathaway's Flash or Crossbone Gundam.  Problem is, Bandai wants new mecha designs so they can sell more merchandise. ;)

The biggest problem I have with Seed are the mecha designs.  They're uniformly terrible.  Why can't they hire Hajime Katoki to do the lineart?!  Who's doing the design work for Gundam Unicorn?  Is it Katoki cleaning up Yasuhiko's designs, or is it original Katoki art?

The biggest problem I have with the mecha from SEED are the non-main Gundam Gundams. I'm cool with Strike, Freedom, Destiny, etc., but the rest suck.

Character and mechanical designs will be provided by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and Hajime Katoki, respectively. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Champloo needed direction and better pacing. The first episode was pretty badass, and established the supposed goal. After a few episodes, i just watched to see what happened next, not so much expecting any time of progression or continuity. Around the last six or so episodes, i was expecting to feel like the series was beginning to wrap up, which it didn't. There was the nonsensical baseball episode, then the final two episodes which thankfully were kickass. i especially like Mugen's line at the end... "what was this all about?" Dude, two fucking grown men followed a teeniebopper girl around Japan for to find a samurai that smells like a flower that has no smell. Yeah.

Regarding SAC, it gets rather heavy with social and political issues at times, but it's overall a kickass series. i severly wish SciFi would take a stab at a similar series because it just begs to be done in live action with a decent budget.

Questions for those who've seen SSS: Does it feature tachikomas or uchikomas?

2channel incident

Takami Akai, the producer of the series and a co-founder of Gainax, announced that he would resign his position effective episode five, which aired on April 29, 2007, over comments that he made regarding posts on the Japanese Internet forum 2channel. Akai and another Gainax employee, Keiko Mimori, made disparaging remarks about comments criticizing the animation style of of Gurren Lagann's fourth episode, completely directed by guest Osamu Kobayashi. With regard to reading the fan criticisms, he stated that it was "like putting [his] face next to an anus and breathing deeply." Fans later became aware of his comments, and he announced his departure from the company he helped to found.[4]

It's the most awesome, action filled anime that I've seen in a long time (probably ever). This is a scene from episode 3:

And it just keeps getting better and better. Episode 8 shits all over this. :hyper

I always thought her obsession with pussy and her awkwardness around the other girls was a hint that she was a lesbian, guess I was wrong.

No thanks

My love of Bleach is not related to the two side characters with huge tits. Nor do I think the few jokes relating to said characters hamper the show in any way either.

I don't know, but it's gross.  My favorite episode of Champloo is the one with the gay dutchman, I think.


Is dutchman the preferred nomenclature?

Holy fuck just watched the end; it kept me on my toes and I didn't know which way it would go.  Also the baseball episode is my favorite I think.


Himu is fucking of his rocker.  Every 2 parter in the series is better than the first 2 eps.  Overall it wasn't quite bebop but it was still great.  9/10.  I liked the differences it had to bebop; they go good together.

Even if there wasn't a Bebop, Champloo would still be a waste of potential.
