| Amazing visuals and great animation, as expected from production I.G. noticed a sphere like thingy on top of the machine calibre's head while it is flying, not quite sure what it is. And man... the pirates just got wiped in an instant. Despite what they are doing, something like that is just overkill lol. |
| A friend and I started ShoukoChan Anime T-shirts. We design modern and fashionable anime T-shirts you'd love to wear on a day out. Come check us out! |
| I think this is the best anime mecha this season by far I mean I love the character,plot and the mecha design is a perfect score 10/10 I hope they keep up the great work ^^ |
 |
| If it continues like this, season favorite. |
 |
| Wow, Chambers attack on the pirates was bad ass |
| I thought this anime would become worse after the first episode, but I was wrong! This makes me happy. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| This is amazing! This remind a lot Miyazaki's movies! |

This time he insisted he wants to write something positive, to give hope for youngsters becoming members of the broad society. I hope he is telling the whole truth this time.I actually wanted to see something different from him - but who knows maybe someone bought him a cat and now he wants to try doing series where most of characters aren't hurt or end up dead/mentally affected. That would be nice as he has some good ideas and this is opportunity to use it in more lighthearted form. I can't believe Urobuchi was corrupted like that. GIVE ME MY DARK STORY WHERE EVERYBODY DIES! |
 |
| Typical Urobuchi, there's already killing scene.. Ledo must be scaring the hell out of them lol. |
| Keep moving forward |
iceaco said: Genix said: Umm hi.. Is this really a healing anime?Pirates are pirates. So this is a healing anime? While I wouldn't mind that at all, Madoka was supposed to be a regular magical girl anime... Either it's war going rampart on a planetary scale, or aliens/humans invade the world from outer space. By the way, nice tech power. With that kind of firepower, it's like you nuking an ant... Also, judging by the fact the Earth is still intact and has a liquid ocean with a breathable atmosphere, the timescale must be within a billion years. Either that, or the model of the lifecycle of the Sun was inaccurate or the orbit of the Earth somehow shifted. It looked really cool.. Then I checked out this forum.. I didn't realize it's same scriptwriter as Madoka.. Is this really not supposed to go on that direction? Otherwise I have to prepare my heart.. I stopped watching Madoka after Mami got eaten :( Every Urobuchi anime has been a healing anime, where have you been? :P |
 |
| Oh god, this show is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. If it keeps up this quality it seems destined for my top 10 at least. |
| At first the episode felt like it was dragging, but Ledo and Chamber's overkill attack balanced things out. I don't think the natives are going to be all thrilled in the face of such easy destruction, especially since the duo casually vaporised the pirates. Really drives home that these two are creatures of war. |
| the girls are so pretty *o* i really love the colors. and i also like that they added this language barrier. it just seems... natural. and i didn't even notice at first that there's no land. so they're living on fleets because the sun once froze the earth? pretty cool idea. i actually just watched the first episode because i was bored and i didn't really intend to watch the whole show, but i feel that i'm slowly falling in love with it. it might turn into the most surprising anime this season (for me). |
| So, basicaly this is Waterworld with sci-fi theme and great character designs, I like it. This electricity bugs current seems interesting - I bet they will have important role and deeper meaning in later episodes. And the power of that robot is just simply awesome! (but I wonder how he resupply energy) |

Araby said: 2easy4AgEnT said: I think you mean typical mecha show...Typical Urobuchi, there's already killing scene.. Yeah seriously, this is more Tomino's territory than Urobutcher. Anyways, I'm liking the first 2 eps of Gargantia so far. Great set up, nice atmosphere and characters. After that stunt they pulled, stuff's obviously not going to go well between both parties. |
 |
| DON'T.MESS.WITH.FUCKING.CHAMBER!!!!!!!!!! This anime...., damn its been awhile since I enjoyed every single minute of an episode!!!!!! So damn good! This is what a quality, masterpiece anime is about. Episode Naxcore: 5 out of 5 |
  |
| Wow.. So cool.. Best weapon ever.. |
| Loved this ep , especially the part where Ledo was being at badass . |
 |
| From the initiation of combat (firing the Deflector Beam) to completion of mission objective (elimination of pirates) - 20 seconds. |
|
| Loving the animation and story. These crazy beams were pretty awesome to see in action. |
| Really looking forward to this anime. I like how Chamber can choose specific targets and annihilate them even when they're inside the cabin. |
| Very good series so far. It's mix of Turn a Gundam, Miyazaki and Waterworld done right. The colours and art are still outstanding and the character designs are gorgeous. Red I think is going to find out that life is valued a bit differently than in his society. Everyone is going to be shit scared of him when he returns to Gargantia. |

Maelis said: Wow, I am amazed. This one is soooo gooood! Beside its outstanding art, we get to see more and more about the story of this anime. The ships, the machines, the scenery, the atmosphere, sum them up and we can see how deep and detailed it is. I feel like watching a fairy tale, combining with the music, it's seem like I can just forget the reality and go with the flow of the story. The best thing that this episode gave me is the scenery at night. The starry night, the sparkling ocean, reminds me of life of pi, you know, that relaxing, overwhelming feeling you get ... it's just simply awesome! I just hope that 12 eps are not too short to convey the whole story, or, if possible, a second season, which I will definitely watch! I agree that it's great! Love the scenery, the character designs, the characters themselves, the backstory. Life of Pi indeed! Will be great to see their reaction to knowing that he could have vaporized them all! I can't wait for the Blu-Rays. And remember there are 3 OVA episodes coming! So even if we don't get season two there will be more eye candy to look forward to. |
| Seems like civilization on Earth started all over again, but on water only. Very interesting! The way he eliminated those pirates was awesome! They were flabbergasted by the difference in technology. I wonder if they'll blame him for the damage he's caused though. And the art is just so colorful and appealing. Can't wait for the next episode! AnimageNeby said: Ledo is the way they pronounce it.

It is: 岩代太郎 Same as MAL says it is: http://myanimelist.net/people/5948/Iwashiro_Taro Music by Lantis. I don't see any soundtrack on amazon.co.jp yet unfortunately and I don't know if BD box 2 or 3 have the OST. Box 1 has a drama CD, box 2 and 3 do not yet specify what is on the CD or if there is one. |
| At first I thought this things like mechs, water world, and advanced human meeting not so technically advanced planet, which was used in so many ways in other movies and animes will be lame. But it feels surprisingly fresh. I like it. |
Tyrel said: qb_cakes said: I wonder if there's some connection to the fact he comes from an advanced society and his hair being white. Or it's just weird anime logic. Anime logic. But every other soldier shown in ep1 also had white hair. And in Gargantia everyone seems to have regular hair colors. |
| Those eyes a something else. |
| http://gargantia.jp/#character_0 His name is レド or Redo. This is not the same as the katakana for 'red' which is レッド or Reddo. Japanese R is between English R and L. The following 'o' IS pronounced by the Japanese, they don't drop it so it is not just 'Red', it is 'Redo' pronounced like the Japanese pronounce it. Listen to the dialog and you can hear it. |
| Very good episode, a bit slow paced but not in a bad way at all. I like to see Redo (Red? Ledo?) interact with the local humans, trying to figure out what to do. Seems like a freaking badass robot/machine/suit thing, it can even analyze who are enemies and who are "friends". I'm very curious what'll happen in the next episode, too bad there are only 12 episodes though :( Are people seriously complaining about Redo's (just gonna call him that) decision of killing those pirates? Like seriously? Did you guys even see episode 1? I know it's been stated multiple times but how can one be surprised he'll immediately take drastic actions when there's an enemy attack? He grew up in a world where enemy attacks were a matter of life and death, not something where the enemy just takes away the treasure. Besdies, after Amy asked for his assistance in such a way I'm not surprised he though it was a very serious matter, why else would the people that barely knew/trustes him ask for his assistence? If you think along those lines it's very, very natural for him to act like this. And it's Urobutchers work, what else do you expect? If no one (major or minor character) would have died in the serie at all, I would be a bit disappointed tbqh (not counting the lost soldiers in episode 1 since we didn't even knew most of their faces). |
| The pirates meant business. If this had been Star Trek he would have set his phasers on stun and they would have happily handcuffed the pirates and sent them to the brig... but this is not Star Trek. Honestly I don't know what else Redo and Chamber could have done while helping unless they were supposed to just fire warning shots and scare them first until Bellows got shot. I think people are right that they will be shocked at how it went down but there really wasn't any other way to do it. |
deave112 said: Yeah right like I believe that this is going to be Urobuchi's first light hearted series. Don't let him fool you! I know exactly what's about to happen. The war will come to Earth and that's where the series will get darker like all the other shows by Urobuchi... Let's hope so, that would turn the show on its head, I like to think that if that guy can get to earth, so can everyone else. |

AnimageNeby said: 00Bubbles00 said: I wonder will Red get Bellow's chest in his face as a reward for saving her from "fun times" with smelly pirates. Different genre of anime you're thinking about, there! ;-) In fact, seen her shocked and a bit dazed expression after Red's overkill, I very strongly doubt any cheering or happy (or ecchi) mood with her, nor with Amy or anyone else of the crew for that matter. I think they'll be all grateful for the wisdom of the captain to stay on the safe side and not to mess with Red/Chamber until they know more about it. If they tried what the blonde dude suggested, it would have been THEM that got vaporised. I think this truth is sinking in by now. No, the last scenes clearly show that Red will not be given the appraisal he thinks he'll get, but rather a sermon about human life, or/and fear for his power. I think his annihilation didn't really help in establishing a good 'working-relation' with the crew, as he intended. ;-) I'm very curious for the next episode. When does it come out, again? I was exaggerating, but anyhow, someone from Gargantia is going to have to give Red a place to stay and food... Red is not going to sit around on the deck with guns pointed at him for long. He and Chamber have the option of going back underwater and into stasis, as Chamber recommended. I say its either Bellows or Ridget who will take Red in, despite people's fear. Amy does not have the status to do anything. |
AnimageNeby said: No, I would say translating the name as "Red" is a mistake to make but no "Ledo".Also..why are they translating the name as 'Ledo'? That a pretty big mistake to make, for such a semi-professional group. AnimageNeby said: Where are the "official translated versions" you are talking about? In Japanese his name is レド so it is either Ledo or Redo but of course the latter sounds like the verb "redo" so it is better to write it as Ledo. As for "Red" that just does not make sense because Red would have been written as レッド (Reddo) in Japanese.The issue of his name has already been addressed: Japanese have difficulty with the 'r' and 'l' (this is not a confabulated trope), and the 'o' is an affix Japanese often add to English words ending on t or d. Besides, in all official translated versions, it's already been established it's 'Red', I think? Anyway, hpulley also said the same too: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=577931&show=440#msg21436031 To me "Red" does not sound quite right as a translation of his name. Anyway, the bottom line is Ledo is the best translation out of the Japanese words used for the name. ]AnimageNeby said: Where are "the official translations"? I mean a source from the anime production itself, not an overseas distributor. As far as I'm aware, the official translations speak of 'Red'. As in: the colour red. |

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
