@grave: Is there a problem with the countdown? I made sure I still have enough time before round 1 ends and even now it shows me I still have almost 2 hours, but the countdown for round 2 also shows me 1:50 hours... or did you just post earlier and will change the countdown later? Maybe make the link text then something like "countdown to round X" instead of "next round"? Completed Pale Cocoon Actually I rewatched it because I already watched it (I guess this will happen a lot to me in this challenge...). But it was a long time ago so it was nice rewatching this again. I'm not much into sci-fi but I really like the setting of this short anime. |

Round 1 Ends I Changed the points system (you twice as much points! ^^) so please make sure to read it. Round 1 Points
●▬▬▬▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬▬▬▬● Replying Last round posts: Vongalaxy said: Team: Straw Hats Just finished it, was ok so whats the point of the mc going to the top? Did he become pulp at the end? After realizing that eh was on the moon and knowing that centuries had passed since the message was made, he went to confirm the truth and see who earth was doing. Yeah, he died x_at_home said: Team: Marines Completed Still a really nice and sad tale. I wonder if the song has any deeper meaning. What deeper meaning do you think it converys Tigervu said: Team: Straw Hats Completed! I hope our world doesn't come to the point where we destroy, but it sure seems like we're headed in that direction. I'll miss a blue looking Earth. Haha, don't take what we have for granted. Agreed Sniree said: I completed it: Only a 6/10 though because I'm not really into sci-fi and the story is kinda confusing I can try to explain anything that isn't clear. ^^ cloud2313 said: I ended up watching the wrong anime >.< It had stuff like samurai leaving the mountains and coming to city But there's a link to the anime O_o Chione said: grave_robber said: Chione said: Finished it! Wow, that was an interesting watch. I really liked the snow and the song. Beautiful <3 That ending though. I thought he is gonna fall of that elevator and is just gonna die. What is he going to do up there though? How is he gonna come back down? o.o The cable broke, so he was already falling down (in slow motion) when he saw the rocket, the clouds and earth. So yeah, he and the elevator are both gonna fall down... Oh, that makes a lot more sense! I wonder if the 1/6 gravity rule of the moon still has an effect. Maybe he wouldn't die :O He was pretty high up, I think he's gonna die, the fall would take a lot more time though >.< cloud2313 said: Team Rumbarr Done Quite a nice anime. Was the Yoko lady by any chance that Riko's mother? That's what I thought, it maybe unlikely though I thought she was her ancestor, she does look like her ^^ Mishukax said: Team Straw Hats. Done, wow. I will pay more attention to this studio. They make beautiful movies =3 Transience said: Team Strawhats Completed That was an interesting OVA. I quite like the 3D animation - it is very pleasing to the eye. The cinematography is wonderful too. I found it sad that the people were quitting, that they were giving up on their curiosity which is something I find to be not quite so characteristic of humans. And I was glad to see Ura still working on them. I also like how they brought in Yoko to explain what 'pale cocoon' meant and the transition of a 'rust coloured' earth back into a blue one (it worked well to show the passage of time, nature and the work of humans, imo). And the snow that fell (I presume so because we see clouds up above towards the end) added to the visual quality of the anime. Thanks, grave. :) You're most welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^ I didn't think that snow, I wasn't sure what it was... lol XD Rumanshi-xanic said: Team MArines Completed. Oh dear... That was intense. At first I felt it was a little preachy, but I got interested by the end. The song was beautiful. The play with time was good as well. I'm glad you liked i! I liked the way they played with time as well. ^^ Manjuu said: Team Blackbeards Completed. [spoiler]This is one of Rikka's weaker works I'd say, but it was still beautiful in a way. Kaiwan said: Team Rumbar Completed i guess its too deep for me, the song is nice though but i dont like this at all I'm sad it wasn't to your liking, I hope you enjoy the next one a bit more >.< VanityStar said: Done. The last scene was really pretty in my opinion>o< I agree =3 Sleipnirr said: That annime is not for my style but there are some questions that were left on my mind first how did the earth get destroyed and did they forget that they were on the moon and if they forgot how did they forgot they are on the f*cking moon how can you forget it 1) Humans destroyed it, possibly the same way we're destroying it now (that's the message I guess). 2) They forgot because the event of the OVA occur centuries after the 1st settlers came to the moon and as the guy explained, all records were destroyed somehow. 3) The people living in the colony, were born and raised there for many many generations, that's the life they know, they know nothing of human history or the fact that they live on a satellite, not the planet from which humans originate. beautifullyou said: Completed TEAM:Marines Ive got a question!! They are living on a tower(on moon) and they think they are living deep inside the earth? Yes Haine said: Team whitebeards Done re watching~ this is actually 3rd time watching it lol Sorry about that, didn't know you'd seen it twice already! >.< verbicide said: Team Buggy Done! I liked a lot of the animation. Angles always get to me, and they were used nicely here. Effects like the snow were good too. I think I ended up getting a bit distracted by the art, and I ended up losing track of the story at times. The story itself was a bit slow at some points. I thought it was going to end up really preachy as well, but that ended up not being the case. Definitely some preaching in there, but it was done fairly subtly, so I don't mind that much. It's good to be reminded to take care of the earth anyway, since it's so easy to forget. Pretty enjoyable, especially for an OVA. As I said, I think the aesthetics were my favourite part of this, but the plot wasn't bad either. I actually didn't read the synopsis before watching this, so I didn't know what to expect other than something sci-fi. When they were talking about the green world with sunlight exposure, I was like "Aha! They're from the future, for sure." Not really a shocking discovery, and something they stated in the first line of its description. I should probably stick to reading those things before going in. Hahaha, yeah some anime are like that, you dunno what's going on till later. XD The_Pyromaani said: Completed Team Whitebeard That was weird. Even tho i tried udnerstand im not sure did i understand it still. I'll explain it on skype ^^ TheLigerNinja said: Team Strawhats 10 minutes into it and creeped out Finished it and now I understand the moment the song started I thought 'they are on the moon aren't they?' and I was right, so I am content Overal it's not my type of show, but I got the plot line over half way through it though I wish it didn't end like that even though I really like how his reaction was saying "blue" I'm glad you finished it teammate =3 Smurphinator said: Team Buggy Finished it. Overall I'm not sure I really liked it. The animation was beautiful and the direction was interesting, but some narrative clarity earlier on could have helped, even if you kind of get the picture by the end. I don't think it's bad by any means, but there are better OVAs out there. Smurph! Welcome back Homie ^^ |

Team Straw Hats Round 2: Completed Another rewatch ^^ But at least another good one. I like the friendship and betrayal theme in this one. Unfortunately it's just a pretty short OVA so not much could be shown like deeper character development but for the length I think it was okay. And I love Yomiko's ability to fight with paper, it's a really unique one ^^ |

To Round 1 grave_robber said: What deeper meaning do you think it conveys Dunno. From what I remember and if I understand the lyrics right it seems like the tale of the earth and moon and how they only got the importance of the earth and yearning its recovery. They vowed to not forget the cradle they came from, but they forgot and lost hope in the end. What do you think of it? |

Team Buggy Round 2 I just finished it for the first time, and can say that I have grown past the point where I'm able to enjoy such fights that are driven a lot by plot armour. The protagonist has her enjoyable sides, and the scenes apart from the fights can be good. But all in all not my type of anime at all. |

Round 3: Completed Team Blackbeard. It seemed a bit ridiculous to me how they mixed a story that involves magic with reality (us, uk, north korea). It would have worked better in a fantasy setting imo. |

Team Buggy Done! Nancy made this OVA for me. Her interactions with Yomiko were so cute, and she was just pretty cool on her own. I got a little suspicious of her after they starting looking into her, but I'm a fan of denial. Then the end of episode two happened... and, hey, this river is still a great place to be. Episode three was this whirlwind of emotions. When they said they would jump out of the plane together, I was like "Aw. Now, Nancy, don't let her hand pass through hers or something. Just jump with her and be happy. Don't let go... go off... godAMN—" Anyway, Yomiko was also pretty nice. Occasionally she got a bit annoying, but I sorta liked her regardless. And her fighting style was cool. Did she just fight with a sword of money at the end? That's awesome! Life goals right there. I liked the opening. Catchy. I listened to it a few times afterwards. I kinda want sheet music for it. The setting and most characters besides Nancy and Yomiko were kinda meh. Also ended up a bit slow-paced at times. I got bored during some scenes. Probably didn't help that I watched it fairly late last night. I fell asleep after the first two episodes and had to watch the last one today. May consider watching the TV series, but there seems to be less Nancy in it. |

Team Strawhats Round 2 Completed Tbh, the synopsis didn't pique my curiosity all that much and even so, I was disappointed by the anime. I cannot begin to express my rage against Yomiko and how unfit she is to be an agent. And I shall refrain from trying to do so as I would probably break far too many MS rules. The president is another example of a failure. He is beyond useless. I should stop here again. The monikers seem a bit uncreative too. 'Gentleman?', 'The Paper?', 'Miss Deep?', no thanks. They could've done so much more with those abilities. And I also don't understand why both the Nancy clones would bother using guns in their fight against each other as it'd be useless. The same goes for any physical attack. Or is there something I missing? A time limit for which they can hold it? Maybe I'd understand this OVA better if I watched the original series but I'm really not interested at this point. The opening for the anime is good though - I liked it. |
