I mean, they still rock.
I'm not bothered if it doesn't take off. I got to make a semi-relevant post about Judas Priest. 8)DM wrote:/me beats Mooman with a rockin' chair for suggesting such a game.

Isn't this thread in the WRONG forum?

I was wondering if that was any good. It's gotten some good reviews, but you can never tell anything from anime reviews.Nightgaunt wrote:Something still somewhat on-topicish (sorry): I bought the first volume DVD of an anime called Elfen Lied.

His parents might not have bought it for him. People downloading and burning DVDs isn't totally unheard of. However it's probably the case that his parents just bought it for him without really looking at what it is. I highly doubt my parents screened everything they ever bought for me.Nightgaunt wrote:Something still somewhat on-topicish (sorry): I bought the first volume DVD of an anime called Elfen Lied.

My favorite part about the name bit is people try to claim the religious symbols mean that they were trying to push some religious agenda forward, when everyone who worked on the show, including Hideaki Anno, admit they used them to both lord their intelligence over people (at least in Anno's case) and that it was used because in Japan it seems mysetrious and cool.The Neko wrote:I've seen the series, and the movie, and I will say that it had a decent premise only to go completely batshit insane both visually and story-wise. Then they started naming arbitrary people and objects after biblical characters. Throw some Kabbalah in there and you got madness.
That's because sega pulled money out from under them towards the end. That's a decent part of why the movies and the director's cuts were made... that and the death threats Anno received, and Gainax's need to milk their one really big hit for every penny it's worth...KittyKatBlack wrote:I'll agree the end kinda fell apart, but more or less the animation style was very well done, and it had some really nice directing. The story could have been clearer and just overall better, but visually, it was a nice piece of work.
