A20thCenturyBoy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Ooh' date=' I wish to know too. Also, the first chapter of Heroman WAS 70 or so pages, I believe you told me.[/quote'] Yes, it was. But it's got a different story than the first episode.

Nexev Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Giant mech anime. King of Braves GaoGaiGar (Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar) started broadcast in 1997, as the final installment of the Takara/Sunrise "Braves" franchise. Taking place in the far flung future of 2005, apparently normal 8 year old boy Mamoru is on a school trip to a garbage island in order to have demonstrated to him the importance of recycling, only to awaken a giant Robeast. He and his classmates are trapped on said robot, and all hope seems lost as the military bombards it with fighter jets, only to have them shot out of the sky. But whats this? A mysterious cyborg swoops in to save them, then jumps into a huge robot lion, turning it into a large robot man. When this proves not enough to save the kids, he fuses it with a bullet train, stealth bomber and drill tank to turn it into an even more Super Robot and basically rips its heart out. Just as he's about to crush it however, Mamoru suddenly starts to glow green, wings of light spread from his back, and he flies towards the robot, begging the robot not to destroy the core. Thus goes the first episode of Gao Gai Gar, an anime made in the aftermath of Evangelion that firmly refused to comply to the trends set by it, and instead gleefully returned to old school Super Robot style of brute-force attacks while declaring each one by name, and action driven by a pretty good plot. The first 25 episodes are Monster Of The Week action - Someone gets made into a Zonder, they attack the city, GGG launch to fight it. It doesn't get old, though; new technologies and characters get introduced at a constant rate to keep it interesting and you get the occasional glimpse of what's to come. Then, after the half-way point all hell breaks loose and GGG have to try twice as hard as they were just to stay alive. Courage, friendship and sacrifice, it's everything a growing boy needs. Overall a very solid series. Lots of fun, made for kids without being kiddy and with some damn fine robot fights. It's spiritual successor is Tenga Topen Gurran Lagann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spirit of DMG Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yeah, Nex, I noticed that. So, why did you do that again? *looking at Shadow while talking to Nex* Also, I prefer anime to manga. I know I said that a thousand times, but still. Topic keeps coming up...

A20thCenturyBoy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 ...did you say...Gurran...Lagann? You just kept me away from the series for good. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 @Friend - Which means they spend a lot of time on the first chapter. @Nexev - Sounds interesting... but I'm not much for mechas... or the typical shonen.... *mutters something about being pestered into watching Heroman* EDIT: Gurenn Lagann was epic, I tell you >O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A20thCenturyBoy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 YOU WERE CONVINCED, AND THAT IS THE TRUTH. and no, they spend the first episode on the first chapter. And take a little deviation from chapter 2 in episode 2. And I dislike Lagann greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A20thCenturyBoy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Convinced nonetheless. So, how is it so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexev Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 @20: Screw you DX @DMG: No particular reason, It's a chemical reaction. Plus he threatened to murder anyone who slapped him for not knowing who Sasaki is. That included me and you. Despite you hitting me, my head back is covered in hair, therefore you got away. Shadow however beat me to a pulp and thus was terribly affected. Since he threatened your life I though I'd make the battle 'mutually enjoyable'.

DL Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Heroman has cliche up the @$$. Seriously. BullyingScientist guy w/ weird dreamGuy that scares off bullies The only part I liked so far was the talk between Lina and the girlish dude. Simply because it WASN'T cliche.

A20thCenturyBoy Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 ...*facepalm* Girlish dude is JOEY JONES, the MAIN CHARACTER. Oh, and don't tell me that you don't enjoy hearing the large ham known as Professor Denton XD And of course there's bullying of a kid by another guy, IT'S A STAN LEE PRODUCT. XDDD And the guy who scares off the bullies has awesome hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexev Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Isn't he also a cripple? That was impressive. I still prefer Ultimo by miles and miles. And it doesn't come close to World God Only Knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 ... No, his hair is actually the only downside to him. Otherwise, he's pretty cool. I think I will refer to girlish dude as girlish dude from now on. And no, I prefered if he didn't talk as much. EDIT: I prefer Ultimo by miles and miles too!!!

Spirit of DMG Posted April 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 @ Link and Friend: Are you two trying to convince people to read/watch it, or discourage them? 'Cause this is sounding both interesting, and really weird... @ Nex: *Grins* I like that thought...I really like that thought...Shadow probably doesn't wanna know what I'm thinking...Probably only DL will like it...

Nexev Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Die 20th, cliches don't belong here in this forum.Yet it is not by my hand they are once again, made prominent, they were brought by fanboys, who wished to buy thier franchise. The franchise? Face it folks, the plot is overused and kinda lame.Perhaps the same can be said of all animes? Your post is as empty, as your soul. Stan Lee ill needs a fanboy such as you! What is a fan but a miserable pile of obsessions? But enough talk. HAVE AT YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 WTF was that? O.o Anyway, I'll keep my opinion, you keep yours, Friend. All the while I still laugh at almost every Nex-post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
