De-JaY said: Pretty cool stuff there. The opening is awesome.  Yay, heterochromia. :3 She looks like an interesting enough character, awwww <3 If anyone doesn't understand the bit about carbon credits, it just means that the government/some international organization that deals with excess carbon emission, gives out 'credits' to each country that emits carbon. These 'credits' each has a limit of how much carbon can a country produce and therefore effectively reducing the total carbon emission in the world. And correct me if I'm wrong, these 'credits' can be sold/bought/traded by various countries and this is where the 'carbon index' thingy comes in. Idk, from what I learnt in Economics, it should be like this. Anyway, great 1st episode, looking forward to the next one, |

De-JaY said: So this means that MEDUSA program sort of crunches credits or makes other country credits disappear. AoT are very good with this series. Yeah, I guess it's some sort of an underground monopoly that's trying to rally some back-up by targetting industrializing countries that need more credits by offering illegalized reduction in carbon taxes. |

Interesting. To see about who is Ishida Finances? |
Sick_Bastard-kun said: If you're a guy and you get a surgery to become a woman in my mind you're still gay. What if you like women? Or if you're bisexual? Sexuality is not that simple. ETA: Okay, that was kind of off-topic. My point is that just because you (general you, I am not claiming that Sick Bastard-kun said any of these things) do not acknowledge a character's gender identity does not mean that it's an anime full of OMG yucky gay shemales. |

| remember that dude who had a baby and it turned out he was a she that turned into a dude? Momoko and Miko being there just gives us an opportunity to laugh at flaming homosexuals. |
 Xiaoling Squirrel; baddest rodent in the forest. |
| yeah a lot of complicated stuff, but i dont think that it will turn out bad. a lot of potential, cant wait for next one. |
     |
| Let me be the first to say good job Gonzo. With all their other recent stuff flopping, Shangri-La wasn't bad. They did a great job with the environment and the voice acting cracked me up. Despite the predictable fan-service, there may actually be tons of potential. It's just up to Gonzo now to do it. Also, I agree that much of the things were complicated, but I understood most of it and I think it adds to the deeper point of the show. The concept is unique enough to make Shangri-La a real gem. Also, Barrett M182 love and lulz at heterochromatic. That makes 2 for this season now (other one was in Asura Cryin'). |
| Bleh. I guess I'm going to have to stay away from these discussion threads. Cannot take the transsexual/gay bashing. |
| Hmm first thought was "ooooh"... then it was "aaaw"... then it was "hmm?" An anime based on environmental issues and fighting... hmm I was not impressed all that much with the first episode but it wasn't bad either... I will keep watching to see if it gets better... Episode 1: (6) |
 K-ON v1.1 ... Please leave you comments on my profile! ^_^ |
| Anyone know what this is rated? |

| It's Internet, so who cares? So far, nothing really "R-ish" in this show. |

| The environmental issue related to global warming and CO2 emissions made me start watching this show. But damn, i can't stand the main character. From character design, the dramatic entry and the voice acting. Eww. When i saw loli princess and loli genius i remembered that image where Charles zi Britannia says "Not this shit again". Kissing guy w/ boobs was okay... Anyway, i'm patient, so i'm not gonna drop this. I hope it gets a little more interesting, because the plot base (environmental theme, the carbon theme and the social, policical and economical topic related to it) remains intact, and is good stuff. |

Vinzalf said: The environmental issue related to global warming and CO2 emissions made me start watching this show. But damn, i can't stand the main character. Same for me ONLY about the environmental issue... Because, whereas you don't like the character designs, I LOVE them!! Especially Kuniko's (the main character)!!!! And I actually only found about the show last year because Range Murata was doing the character designs, who design's I am really fond of. Though I think the free-wheeling spirit and character design of Kuniko is awesome, to each their own preference! I must agree with you on the loli princess though, that is lame! I am found of loli geniuses with teddy bears, (and how that reminds me of last exile), so I can't complain about that. XD |

| It's a good idea with some bad execution. I feel like the world needs to be a lot grittier - things are awfully clean for a world where even important buildings are covered in ivy. And the prison scene - is there a reason why it was full of 12-year-old girls? I understand the idea of a women's prison, but a little girl prison is ridiculous, especially when the society running the prison seems so high-tech. Some of the characters are pretty amusing. The Chinese empress girl, the loli-genius, and the TG whip lady are all fun to watch. However... I can't imagine this show going anywhere. The execution is just so bad. If the first episode was planned like this, I can't imagine how the later episodes are going to get. I'll watch a few more episodes before deciding to drop it. |
| I finally understand that carbon tax = to something of Kyoto protocol. |
| Metal-Age is an environment-protection group which can also be considered a terrorist organization, since they do not hesitate to fight the military when it seems necessary to them. However, the leader of Metal Age is a young girl who wields a strong boomerang that has the capability to cut guns in seconds. Pretty impressive! |
 |
| As short as her skirt is, they really have their work cut out for them concealing those panties... Oh and... one too many traps IMO. Not completely bad = 3/5 |
 |
| Epic cast. Great art. This thing is off to an epic start. 5/5. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| "I love men" LOL great anime! |
 Got Milk? |
| I see that there's a sudden boom of cross-dressing in the future :P Momoko brings a new class of psychological warfare into light that I've never conceived before <3 The animations are great, the story seems interesting (and new), and sound's just as good. I really love that landscape... |
| Reminds me of Gonzo's previous work Gin'iro no Kami no Agito. Good watch so far. |
 |
| uh I like the length of Kuniko's skirt I guess |

Neverender said: uh I like the length of Kuniko's skirt I guess No pantsu in sight though q_q Information bombardment i can take. Hot women turns out to be a Trap and a bathing trap turns up to be a bitch was okay...but the execution was horrible bad just like naikou said. I'm just waiting till i get used to the glitter before making the final decision whether or not to drop it. |
| Bit of too much going on for the first episode. Animation was decent, characters are really weird, hoping for the best cause this probably was my second most anticipated show next to Eden of the East. |

    There is nothing in this world more ugly than imperfection |
| it's looking good so far,can't wait to see the second episode^^ |
 |
| Interesting start. Nice Graphics btw. |
 |
| Now that I have finally had a chance to see this I really really liked it. Also now I have another fav character to add to my list Kuniko Houjo was awesome. As it is only the first ep I will rate it by the ep I give it a 8/10 |

| Didn't really expect much. lol@OP&ED are ok =/. |
| This show is shaping up to be a-ok! |
     |
| Shitsux |
 |
| Too many details! My head was literally spinning. But, this pretty much sums it all up: 7/10 Temporary rating. Too many details for the first episode. Didn't understand a thing about the carbon market or whatever it was called. |
 |
| Looked promising until I actually watched this. Suckish. |
| That was a tad bit ultra boring but it was a little interesting. |
 |
ap93 said: Seriously. I laughed my ass off after Momoko kissed that soldier so he passed out and then s(he) ran towards more soldiers screaming. Agreed. That was probably my favorite part of the episode. I actually like the opening and ending, but I think the art's going to get to me...Kuniko's hair...I definitely won't drop it though. It reminds me of the whole dystopia avenue, which is pretty cool. Unique, fer sure. Can't put a definite quote, but I agree with it being a tad bit boring and a little too detailed. Current rating around a 5/10. |
| This series looks kinda lame to me.Despite the name,i only intrested because of the name and now im gonna drop it. |
| First impressions about how this anime begins is simply superb. Animation quality is just what you could expect from GONZO - absolutely perfect. Opening was also well done and worth to be watched again and again. Characters all wery unique and interesting, and as for first episode there are quite a lot of them! And overall things are looking really promissing. And i'm now quite confused, cos' reveiews about this anime is quite negative and one friend who also watched it said it's a crap... o.O But I really really hope it's not complete truth but only a matter of taste. Anyway, i guess i'll find it out soon enough.=] |
