[Il Palazzo]

The director of Stand Alone Complex went on to do Eden of the East, which is great.

I was going to moan about this show not being great at all, at least when compared to GitS, but then I realised that I'm just a bitter, jaded old geezer, who can't stand most(all?) of the anime he's watched recently.
I think I'll leave the thread now.

My last words are: somebody finally go and watch Texhnolyze, god damnit. It's like GitS, only without the annoying Tachikomas, and with more apocalypse.

[fqllve]

Dude, you are not allowed to mention Texhnolyze and then leave the thread.

We must be friends.

I am watching right now. Its fine so far, but nothing stand-out.. Ep. 3 completed.

Dear God Enies Lobby arc is long.

Too late, I've been trying to get people to watch this for ages(aka, since the beginning of this thread), and you only showed up when I've finally given up on humanity. You will have to live with the realisation that people who like Texhnolyze always die alone.
This is the end, fare thee well. Goodbye cruel world, etc.

I liked the scab coral just fine, that was a cool idea. But their

'Limit of Life' or whatever your translation called it was just stupid. If there's too much stuff alive, the universe implodes?

That bugged me.

Oh yeah, that was stupid.

Especially since the scub coral already exceeded the limit but it didn't count because it was "asleep." Except it wakes up. And then nothing really happens?

I guess I already knew that anyway, since pretty much no one has even heard of it. In spite of being done by the same people who did fucking Lain.

You must mean Eden of the East. I was being a little overzealous. It's pretty good though, I just think I have nostalgia vision for it because it was broadcast the same time as K-On.

Actually... I meant technolyze. I mean, the story is interesting but not particularly riveting, animation is good but not complete eyecandy, and characters aren't really... appreciated yet. I heard it was Lain with Shotguns, but so far I haven't got hte lain vibe I wants.

[fqllve]

I dunno, it struck me immediately. The atmosphere, use of silence, art style. All very Lain.

I mean, if you're looking for the whole exploration of the internet thing, yeah, it doesn't really have that. But in some ways, especially later on, it's more Lain than Lain. Definitely creepier.

WHOA wait whaa....
I came across this on wikipedia when searching for more ghost in the shell to watch...

As of 2008, DreamWorks acquired the rights to produce a live-action film adaptation of the original manga with Steven Spielberg. Avi Arad and Steven Paul are confirmed producers; Jamie Moss was originally hired to adapt the manga into a screenplay,[2] but in October 2009 it was announced that Laeta Kalogridis had replaced Moss as writer.[3][4] The live-action film is set to be released in 2011.[5]

I foresee this being mediocre at best... Especially since to pay Spielburg's salary they will have to dumb it down to appeal to the American public. >_<

Something about your summary made me giggle, I don't know. It's been a while since I've seen it so my mind has glossed over the boring parts and only the totally awesome parts remain. The awesome continues through Enies Lobby.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You forgot about Aokiji at the beginning, the first time Luffy gets totally owned.

Luffy VS Usopp = best battle evar.

WHO IS SOGEKING?

[ToonyMan]

He lives on Sniper Island.

LOCK OOOOOOOOON

Yeah, but they acquired the rights because Spielberg wanted them bad as a pet project. Lets hope pet project means not caring about mainstream success. He isn't a terrible director, so the question is how he really cares about the series.

[Lord Shonus]

Spielburg is a brilliant director, unlike that hack Cameron. All of his movies have been exactly as intelligent as the premise required.

Just finished chapter 1 of Pieta, and holy shit. It is great. I especially like the way Haruno lays out her panels to make room for narrow vertical or horizontal ones. And the way she slices them at diagonals. Very visually appealing.
