Oh what the hey

1.Is their any other couple, unless you mean Eva and Aika then no, Eva and Jordan was the best(maybe Don Way and Eva's mom)

2.Jordan

3.There were no really weak characters, maybe the pirate captain

4.On a whim I watched the first episode on Toon Disney and loved it

5.It is really good plus the ending is awesome

Now I have one for everyone else...

Was Jordan colorblind, he had trouble spotting a simple red button one time and seemed to never respond to color.

is molly and jordan your fav. couple in OSR? yes or no? explain why!
Hehe, yes....just look at the next question's answer

whats ur fav. character?
Jordan, so self-sacrificing! It made me cry :( I don't cry at the end of a lot of anime y'know.

what is ur worst character?
Lord Furter, manipulative little puke who can't win a race on his own, how did a Magikarp get in with the big leagues?

how did you know oban star racers from?
someone on a "what did you just buy?" thread praised it and said more people needed to check it out, so during a Black Friday, my friend and I went to Best Buy and refused to leave without buying some anime (so she could quickly deplete the fun she had made on the off chance that the Twilight movie was good, friggin' fangirl), she got like $100 worth of anime and I just got Oban Star-Racers parts 1 and 2 (hey, $16 per half is dirt cheap and I figured it was worth the risk). Seems I took a good risk, it was great! So it was a blind buy based on previous hearing of it being an underappreciated gem that turned out well (unlike some of my blind buys which turn out to be absolute garbage).

why do you like OSR?
I like the way it mixes an "of the week" race with character development and story progression. And the music is awesome (I do like Taku Iwasaaki a lot, even if he did copy and paste something from this soundtrack onto the TTGL one).

who was the weirdest character?
Paradice, giant cat TV face alien thing who controls the ship using a giant DDR pad? Yeah, that's what I would define as weird.

is molly and jordan your fav. couple in OSR? yes or no? explain why! : Yes! Molly/Eva and Jordan is my favorite couple in OSR! The reason is simply because I love how it started with friendship and ended the way it did. (not too happy about it though... It was bittersweet.) Other then those two I really liked Don and Maya together :)

whats ur fav. character?: RUSH! :D

what is ur worst character?: None really

how did you know oban star racers from?: I saw the commercial for it on jetix and thought that it looked lame, to be honest.. Then I accidently watched a few episodes in norwegian(my languange) then forgot about it. Then I found the whole thing in english and it has been one of my favorite shows ever since. I still watch it from time to time.

why do you like OSR?: Because it's awesome ^_^ haha, no really. The story, the characters.. it seems to have everything.

Oh, And I don't think Jordan was colorblind, but simply VERY nervous..

And I TOTALLY agree with Jordan on the self-sacrificing! I started crying!

@OP you should change the title back to episode1 discussion or make a separated thread for your questions...

As far as the first episode goes, quite nice start, an interesting setting, a bit of an unique art style and a decent pace! Lets see what this anime has to offer, the only thing that currently bothers me is that I didn't found a Japanese dub and require to watch it with English Dubs...

whats ur fav. character? - I'm a bit of an Aikka fangirl. Other than that i like Molly, Rick and Jordan almost just as much

what is ur worst character? - That Pirate Captain was kind of annoying.

how did you know oban star racers from? - I watched it when it aired in Germany back when I was a little kid, but I never got around to finish it. I didn't even remember much of it, not even the title. What did stick with me was the Opening song and Eva's name (or rather the moment when Don is shouting it). One day about a year ago I searched after the series on TvTropes, only going by what little I remembered, and was able to find out it's title and then watch it on youtube.

why do you like OSR? - The Characters, The Story, the colorful setting, the theme tune, the fact that the Earth Team actually has to work for their victories and how losing is actually a very real possibility. There's so much to love about this show, honestly.

Weirdest Character? - I'd say Para-dice. FallnKnightFakir summed it up pretty well ^^

They have no noses.

Picked up towards the end. I guess I'll keep going for now.
