Giant Robo

.....what?

......*twitch*

Spoiler:

I shouldn't get my hopes up though. Amuse went out of business long ago, if I'm not mistaken, and the art style looks drastically different from what that flash site shown.

Still, if they get it right......

Jam it back in, in the dark.

10/01 Aim for the Top! & Aim for the Top 2! Combined Movie - D:

The former is just a re-release of the original Gunbuster, and not a brand new movie, right? If I remember correctly, Aim for the Top 2 has no connection at all to the original Gunbuster.

And that's a shame, because the original was excellent. I still haven't seen other animes emulate the visual style of the final episode.

Is there really no other news on Giant Robo? What other series has the company invovled in GR done? I can't tell if they'll continue the OVA story or start fresh, but considering the look of the visual style, I'm betting it's the latter.

How ya doing, buddy?

No, screw that. I refuse to have a non-superpowered GR where Big Fire is a group of lame aliens. Bring back Big Nine and the Magnificent Ten or just don't bother.

And I felt the teaser gave enough material to start a new series. I know I'm not the only one who wanted to see

in action.

Also, wasn't Giant Robo based on a manga series that was based on the live series? If I recall correctly, the manga reworked the live series by making Big Fire a terrorist group and establishing most of the characters shown in the OVA. The OVAs started off later in the series (which is obvious since most of the characters are already established, and make references to previous events).

Well the point is there are three things they'll need to make this succeed. One is to keep the superpowered humans along with the robots. Two is to keep the retro art style, and three is the excellent soundtrack.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
