Impossible, for most people who have watched it would know it consists of 26 episodes, a Summary + OVA part split into two chapters, and one 1 hour and 20 minute long movie showing the grand finale.

Assuming one episode is roughly 25 minutes and minus the overlap in the OVA and movie, there's not even 31 episodes.

thanks for the background info i didnt know it was only 26 episodes long but then again they could still cancle...

Yeah, adult swim, they are jackasses like that. I have the first 3 episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion, japanese with english subtitles, thought it was good from that.

Yes, I found that preview last night to be confusing. AS had just said about 2 weeks ago that NGE was not coming to TV anytime soon. Now they're showing previews for it? Williams Street serioulsy needs to get thier act together. And along the lines of the series. they will probably show Episodes 1-24, then show the OVAs and movie on a Saturday night like they did wit the Inuyasha movie and ROD OVA.

Also, the reason SC did a flashback episode is because of two reasons:

1. The episode is a filler episode to calm things down after Episode #11-Gambling and Gallantry.

2. Its basically the middle of the series so what better way to do the middle of the series with a flashback episode.

If you remember NGE, I think on Episode #15 (I'm not really sure) They did a flashback episode in which NERV had a meeting with the top leaders and they reviewed every battle with the Angels up to that point. Why? Middle of the series.

***********SPOILER ALERT*****************************

Toward the ending of Please Teacher, when Kei goes into a standstill after finally confessing his love to Mizuho, Mizuho has a flashback of everything that had happened up to that point. Also, if you guys paid attention to Kei's standstill dream, you'll realize that the main reason he went into a standstill was because he watched as his sister commited suicide. She wanted to leave the world of pain to a world where no one felt it (Plain terms -Suicide)

*********END SPOILER ALERT**************************

See? Flashbacks are an essential part of anime because they help refresh the audience's mind on the past events so that we are set up for the next chain of events.

You're welcome.

It might be just me, but I find all the Japanese Cartoons of roughly 25 to 30 episodes which is produced within a decade ago are easily overlooked.

One good example would be Gungrave, which has outdone Trigun by many times over.

I've watched a few episodes of each series, and enjoyed Gungrave moreso than Trigun. I'm a sucker for the underdogs. Gungrave is one of those hidden gems among the usual heap of gravel.

I don't remember seeing that, and if they did say that it was a joke because the news that Evangelion was going to be on Adult Swim was made about a month ago.

Actually, the news that NGE would be on Cartoon Network was released unofficially more than a month ago and the news that it was going to be on Adult Swim was made official on the Adult Swim message boards about a month ago.

I also found out about this news a few days ago.

Adult Swim has announced that Neon Genesis Evangelion will begin airing Thrusdays, starting October 20th, at 12:30 a.m. New episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist will also start airing on Satruday, starting on September 17th at Midnight.

I hate when there's a cool Anime, but it doesn't have a lot of episodes! For example: Melty Lancer.

Or FLCL.
I was also rather unhappy with the ending to Rurouni Kenshin. Although the series wasn't relatively short, i fel that another 'saga' or storyline could have been added. I am aware of Samurai X, i just never "go into it".

I'm jumping in here even though I'm not part of this club.

There was an addition, which is the Samurai X that is after the series, I believe it's Reflections or something. That was all they made in addition to Rurouni Kenshin (The other samurai X's are either before or during Rurouni Kenshin) and btw, the last Samurai X is supposed to not be very good at all.

Some might even say it's something that should be forgotten to keep the Rurouni Kenshin series a sparkling series without any bad stuff surrounding it.

Any one want to do a Anime collab?? I already started a idea I hadfor FUll Metal ALchemist.********************************

Yeah...

Trigun is good, but too much comical relief to make it a badass story, unlike "Trigun Maximum".

eh, comedy is comedy no matter how you look at it

You call those "scenes" "Hentai?
Not only did you use a word in a wrong sense, but you must have weak (Or Over-Sensitive, whichever you prefer) judgement in content.

yeah, I have to agree with that aswell

I disagree there, I think it's ok, but they did need to tone it down a little. They just switched from one extreme to another. Oh, and I've never seen Trigun Maximum, whats that one like?

Ok, its about time for my next game review. >_> <_<

The fallowing review is for Digimon World 4.

Digimon is an adventure game where you... well... I honestly don't know what exactly the long term goal is. My brother whored the game up for the most part so I'm not very far. Anyway, it's an adventure game. You start the game by choosing and naming 1 of 4 different digimon. The game starts with you being told you need to search for Leomon who is lost along with a team of like ten people. In my opinion, the games only real down fall is its load time. It takes like 10 minutes to go to town, go to the Item shop to sell of all the spoils you plundered, then go back to the Terminal area to go back into the arena. Any other game that would take like 2 1/2 minutes.

Battle
Battle is pretty average. you get basic attacks like stab, slice and stuff like that. You can only have up to five magics per digimon. battle is "running around stabbing things" set up as opposed to classic rpg turn battle.

Equipment
Here is another thing that adds to loading time. There are three sections in the "Home Server", they are Terminal area, Shop area, and Central area. You have to go to an area in the Central area called the Digi-lab to alter your digimon in any way. This includes armor, weapons, and shields. Armor and weapons can have mods. For those of you familiar with Phantasy Star on Game Cube, it's the same thing as slots. Bluntly put, you can add things to your weapons and armors to boost stats, or increase chance of critical attack and blocking.

the type of attacks you do ar based on what weapons you use. Daggers stab, Swords slash, and Axes are blunt. you get technique, or weapon experience for the type you use. certain digimon have a better growth rate than others with specific weapons. You need to improve weapon tech to use stronger weapons of that type. Note that there are many more types such as shot, crush, bash, and others.

Digi-Lab
Basicly you make all alterations (accept for mods) here. Here you change equipment or digivolve.

Digivolution
Basicly you change into another digimon. This doesnt mean stronger. at level 16, you can digivolve into another one of the other 3 starting digimon. At level 50 you can turn into a stronger digimon, and if you do side quests, and meat the quest requirement, you can digivolve into other things.

Side Quests
To unlock side quests, you must rescue Leomons crew whick was captered in individual containers you must shoot at while floating down a river. after rescuing them, you must reach a high enough level to be offered the quest.

all in all, I say it is an addictive game, the it does have a certain simpleness to it. I give it a 4/5. My recommendation is to rent it first to get a feel for it first, then buy it. It's some what new still so I cant in good heart say just buy it.

I mean, some of the comic relief is at the wrong place and time. Not a lot of it, but some of it just makes it irritating.

Trigun Maximum would be the Comic (Or Manga, as some of you non-Japanese-yet-persistent-speakers call it) equivalent of Trigun the cartoon.

oh, you last post made it sound to me like you hated it all together because of the random comic outbursts

oh I see, Thanks for the enlightenment

Has anyone here besides me watched any Episodes of Melty Lancer? If you don't know what it is click here.

I have another example of an anie that was good but was too short: Golden Boy. This seriously could have had a long run but with the same thing as FLCL it ends before it starts to flesh out. And has anyone read the manga version of Excel Saga? I swera its 10x funnier than the anime.

First of all, golden boy is funny........ the first time you watch it, but you can't watch the 6 episodes over and over, the jokes are too similar, and I loved trigun and the manga version but to be honest, I haven't watched all of gungrave. outlawstar was a good one considered, but the ending could of been better.

You DO realise this is not the hentai club and that it IS the anime club so please find somewhere else to post that stuff.

Of course he does.

On the other hand, do you realise that the material you call "Hentai" (It's called "Ecchi", damn it!) is a Genre of "Anime".
