| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow.. Great first episode. I really like the art-style that is used in this OVA. That monster that they were fighting up until the ship blew up was fucking scary looking too. |
| I'm back. |
| I watched this anime very early in my Anime days. It was back in High School 1997 and I loved it right away. It's one of those OVA's you wished never had to end. If you've not watched it yet, and love the strong-willed Solo female lead characters(example Ghost in the Shell), also enjoy the sci-fi genre; this is a MUST watch. |
| well, agreed! i enjoyed everything about this, it's like a real breath of fresh air. exciting and intriguing from start to finish. the art was great, all the designs very inventive. A big step up from the 80s style, seems even very good for 94 and the music is brilliant, what an awesome OP! |
HieiSetsunaShika said: Agreed.It was really good! :D Personally, I'm huge fan of the 80s/90s animation. There's a certain expressiveness about it that newschool stuff just doesn't capture. The story is great so far, with awesome characters. And I find having a strong female lead very appealing. Can't wait to watch more of it! Personally I think the anime has aged well. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Cyberpunk(ish) settings, bounty hunters, awesome 90's artstyle, female lead.. This is like freakin Battle Angel, I love it! Though the pacing seems a bit rushed, hope it slows down a little in next episodes. |
| Iria is one of the prettiest/best mc's I have ever witnessed |
| I shall destroy and hate mankind |
| can't believe I found this after so many years; it's like a kick in the nostalgia. last time I watched this series it involved stalking that damned scrolling tv-guide channel to find its random airings on sci-fi(?)... i think it was on sci-fi channel |
| "Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship." "If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!" "Normal rabbits don't carry guns!" |
| I kinda liked it. At first I was unsure. Then, ooh... outer space! Freaky hissing "thing"... |
  |
| The immortal(?) monster in this was amazing, really love the artstyle,setting and characters too. |
 |
| Fantastic first episode! Really great setting, animation, art and development! Really looking forward to see what the rest of this story will have to offer! |
 |
| Man, the environments looked great in this. |
| I want to comment on the action, art, and animation, but the name Bob is such an ill-fitting name for the character that I spent the whole episode distracted. I just can't take a futuristic sci-fi action anime seriously with a character named Bob in it. |
| Felt a bit like the setting in The Phantom Menace. Probably one of the best 90s action OVA episode so far. |
| I wasn't a huge fan of it at the beginning but it got better once they boarded the spaceship. I was kinda expecting her brother to die in the end. But omg Zeiram is really freaky O_o |

| Zeiram is one creepy ass motherfucker. |
 |
| Interesting cyberpunk series, just I know this franchise ... but cause what I've watched in the episode, I liked. |
