LOL Yeah, those are some essential episodes for getting drawn into the story. I was wondering why the hell Kendra was like "Make sure you watch up to episode 18!" And I have to say that it paid off, man. It was a twist that I wasn't really expecting.

I love the scandal and violence. This is a very mature anime.

Man, it's just gorgeous. I love it. It's great to see other people who like it as much as I do. So, I watched it a few years ago and I was amazed. xD I loved it so much, I went out and bought the box set.
It's my absolute favorite anime of all time. So beautiful! I'm probably going to have to watch it again when I have the time.

10-05-2009, 10:31 AM #47You know, now that I think about it, I think this show might be considered Seinen. I don't think I spotted any shonen tropes in the series at all. Originally Posted by Sadako

10-11-2009, 12:19 AM #49I'm glad you liked it! It's truly one of those 'rare gems' sort of animes. It's not really like any other, and it's a great experience from the very first episode up until the end. Originally Posted by TELIMS

Also, if you liked that show, you should give Samurai 7 and Last Exile a whirl as well, as they're two other awesome Gonzo Animes.

OK, I'm stumped. Remember I said I missed a few episodes?
I'm absolutely CERTAIN I never changed my folder. I still have the same amount of files in that folder. No folders have been added, yet for some reason there are now episodes in the folder that I don't know that I cannot but assume are the missing episodes.
I really do have NO CLUE WHATSOEVER where these things came from. :S
But I'm not complaining, I'm finishing this anime ASAP!

10-14-2009, 06:22 PM #51You better finish it! And why not look up an Episode List online to make sure you're watching them all in the right order? Originally Posted by Zero

You know, I have all of the Japanese episodes with English subs on my computer, but I haven't gone beyond the first 3 episodes just yet >_>
I figure this has to be something you watch with full attention without large gaps. Even now I know I'll probably have to start all over again >.<
If nothing else, the visuals really are stimulating. Not sure what exactly it is that they've done, but it's pretty darn kewl =DHi, sorry about my lacking presence at RSF. I got busy with my off-line life, and though it's settled a bit, there's not much to do here without people posting (which is kind of my fault >.<)

Speechless.
Epic.
I'm so, so glad I watched this series.

*Hugs close.*
Welcome... welcome to the world of awesomeness.
It's funny, I haven't met a single person whose watched that series all the way through and NOT like it. Dare I say Gankutsuou is on par with Cowboy Bebop!

I love that second-to-last episode (ep. 23?). The music and everything that happens is just so awesome! I'm really impressed with this series.
And I never saw this Cowboy Bebop thing... my ex mentioned it once I think, but other than that I have no clue.

10-16-2009, 01:12 AM #57Watch it! I actually prefer the English version to the Japanese one, but Gankutsuou is Gankutsuou! Let us know once you've watched more of it! Originally Posted by Mellusia

Haha, glad you're liking it! I knew it was something that'd be totally up your alley. Originally Posted by Aleister Black

But to be fair, they're two VERY different animes. Cowboy Bebop is more of an action Anime, and Gankutsuou is a drama one. It's too different to really compare.
I'm trying to remember Episode 23. I know lots of crazy stuff goes down. Originally Posted by Aleister Black

Cowboy Bebop is another anime that you must watch, or you will get your nerd license revoked. LOL. It's a tad more action oriented, and a bit more episodic than Gankutusuo, but the characters are very well developed and fleshed out. There are hints of an overarching plot throughout the series, but they're arguably unnoticable, and it doesn't really kick up until like the last five episodes or so. But a lot of the underlying theme pretty much deals with existentialism, but does a great job at not getting too melodramatic with it. It's really freakin' awesome.
That, and Samurai Champloo.

I never seen Cowboy Bebop. I keep trying to watch Escaflowne but i keep falling asleep. But Gankutsuou was ace. I think my favorite character was Haydee, also Franz, wait am i spoiling?
-

Nah, I don't think you spoiled anything. Anyone that hadn't seen it before will have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and it pretty much has no bearing on the story, so you're good, love. LOL.
And you ain't the only one that falls asleep on Escaflowne.
