The best reason I can think of is the plot. To me it made next to know sense.

Well, I can't admit that it's exactly comprehensible, but it was a pretty fun plot regardless.

It also doesn't help that I watched it dubbed, so I was forced to listen to beyond terrible voice work.

I don't remember the dub quality of the OVA. But the TV seres had a spot on dub, perfectly fitting.

I do admit the animation was smooth and the action scenes were memorable, but it just didn't cut it for me.

I'd recommend giving the tv series a try instead. Watch it, and if you like it then go back to the OVA. You might have a better opinion after a second watch. Honestly, ROD the tv is one of the best animes I have ever seen, and it was one of the rare ones (aside from maybe Maison Ikkoku) that got me completely hooked into watching episode after episode.

I just watched the first episode of Miracle Train and I think I'm in love.

Anybody else seen it? What do you think?

Finished Junjou Romantica.

It was gay.

Tsubasa Chronicles and Pandora Hearts is awesome.

By thirty kilogays.

Watched Victory Gundam these past three days. Series took me really off guard overall. Gives a lot of good quotes for different things and themes.

Lots of deaths though god damn. I thought Zeta was up there. I've never seen the main character cry so much. But considering how young Uso is and the amount of deaths around him involving people he knows, geez...

Is quite the ladies man it would see though. A lot of the women pilots developed affinity towards him. Especially that bat shit insane Zanscare woman. Naked? Bath tub?? Holding?!?

Crazy bitch...

Victory Gundam 9/10 IIMO

Next up is F91 and Turn A. Once I finish those I'll finish off ZZ and all the series that matters will be complete.

Seed? 00? Pfft, you guys are crazy...

Ehhh, I wasn't really digging Victory Gundam when I was watching it. It's just too grim for me, it's even worse than Zeta in terms of feelings of the complete misery and hopelessness of war. It went on about 10 episodes longer than it should have, but it did have some neat mobile suits.

Speaking of Gundam, been grinding through Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2, and so far I'm thinking it's worth that hefty $63 that I spent on it, good game. But the mission mode seems a bit overwhelming, I don't know who I should be friends with, or how I unlock these mobile suits.

On another note, I've also been reading through R.O.D. The manga is really good so far, has the formula for a unique and entertaining series. Oh and....you know, the whole lesbo thing going on is a plus ;}

True about the grim part. If anything Uso should've been the one to lose his mind and not Kamile. But Uso did have a lot of support that he could understand on a level. I believe it was Kamiles personality that drove him off the deep end and the events prior. Possibly Uso was that much stronger mentally. Some of Zanscars MSs were funny just to look at. The Motoraid squads for starters.

Did give a very good message about war and why it's pointless though. It was also very good at crating characters that you come to genuinely hate as the story progresses. I mean, FUCK Kaetjina. I haven't despised a character like that in a good long while.

I still haven't done everything with it yet. Not to mention I can't get the online achievements since everyone is using the Musha MKII gundam. Basically you just have to do the exact mission requirements. Don't kill all the aces and you'll be less likely to become unfriendly with them. Not to mention doing the mission to the victory requirements means you gain more points. Getting the licenses is getting a certain friendship or affinity with certain pilots.

Anything that is made by Peach-Pit has the tenancy to turn into that. So why not ditch that series and follow a real one like Rozen Maiden.

Because, if not, you should see Kemonozume.

They wrote that one too.
Gotcha there.

Back on topic, the anime segments in Shugo Chara Party! are too short to allow for much of an in-depth plot, and I can predict it's gonna take quite a while for them to catch up to the manga (not like I have any clue where they are anymore). I wanna see Amu's fifth Guardian Character!

Kemonozume
Kemonuzme
fucking Kemonozume

all you people should have seen that shit already.

You should check it out, you'd probably fall in love with it like I have.

Oh, I know they wrote it. But it didn't fall to shit IMHO. And my opinion is utmost supreme. B)

Possibly. Uso didn't seem to have a very troubled childhood prior to the events of the show. While Kamille was full well into his teen years and experienced problems with his parents. In hindsight, I guess it was almost unavoidable, you could tell that Kamille was always a troubled and irrational person. Even when he did start maturing near the end of the show, it kind of loomed over him.

Yeah, she just kind of went evil for no real reason from what I remember. I probably would have liked it more if I watched it at a different time in my life. I was watching through it during some pretty bad times, so I think the constant death and sorrow was becoming overwhelming for me.

Starting to figure that out. I went through Hamans story missions and friendship missions, she can now use the original Gundam and Wing Zero. Which I don't see why I'd be using those, as the Wing Zero is terrible in this game.

Sounds guuuuuuuuuuuud.

I'd mention more here, but I haven't gotten back to it, or any book. I'm way too lazy with starting and finishing things.

Finished Lucky Star for whatever reason and now I have moved onto Amaenaideyo!!. Looks like it will be a while before I continue Higurashi no Koro ni Kai :(.

I can't say it was an enjoyable experience, but it was a hell of a lot better than Azumanga Daioh. That shit made me set up chicken wire on the ceiling.

So, I started watching Futari wa Pretty Cure. it looked incredibly bad and silly so I assumed it would be a good series to MST... problem is I actually started enjoying it. So yeah, a magical girl anime beat me.

I've been reading the manga version of Gantz for a good few months now.
So much better than the anime.

It's decent, if you ask me.
Did you watch the simulcast or the Canadian dub?
I've watched the stream and it's given me something to tide me over until the new episodes of Shugo Chara Party! and Miracle Train come out.

I am not watching the dub. Not that the voice actors or bad, but it seems poorly directed and badly written. Also, taking away the catchy Japanese theme was a bad idea.

Agreed. The ways in which both their parents died was pretty bad. Both trying to save them/protect them. I'm surprised Uso didn't go berserk and start massacring everything in sight. Again, like you said, Uso is fairly young whereas Kamille was around 15 I think and Uso being 13. Both shared that child like syndrome but to me it seemed Kamille more so. Both always said things along the lines of

Why are you doing this? What do you fight for? Please just end this!

Etc...

Yeah, she just kind of went evil for no real reason from what I remember. I probably would have liked it more if I watched it at a different time in my life. I was watching through it during some pretty bad times, so I think the constant death and sorrow was becoming overwhelming for me.

With Katejina she was becoming more and more attached to Marias brother and Marias ideals. Although Marias advisers were poisoning her mind and telling her what to do instead of Maria acting from her heart. Angel Halo and reverting everyone to an infant state being the end product. Katejina was increasingly being annoyed by Uso and his talks of her changing, not being herself, asking her what's happened to her and what has Zanscare done to her. She said she could never love a kid like Uso a few times.

Starting to figure that out. I went through Hamans story missions and friendship missions, she can now use the original Gundam and Wing Zero. Which I don't see why I'd be using those, as the Wing Zero is terrible in this game.

Easily my favorite would be God Gundam and V right be hind it. V's super when you jump and he uses the light wings pretty much dominates everything in his path. I haven't gotten around to everyone's story lines but I'll get there one day. Borderlands for right now.

I'd mention more here, but I haven't gotten back to it, or any book. I'm way too lazy with starting and finishing things.

I hear you. I have a good amount of games, manga and anime that I haven't finished or touched yet. Just not a lot of free time and the times that I do I'm hanging out with friends or doing chores around my house.

So I've heard. I mean, punching raptors in the face? Giant lady made from other ladies? HAHA OH WOW! Should start reading it but Borderlands is eating my time up before I even get any.

15? What? I think you suffered a case of did not do the research. Go back, watch Zeta and wread the articles on wikipedia.
