| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Loved this episode. Had good animation and Birdy looks like a bro. |
 |
| The old anime turned out a lot better than I expected! I watched Tetsuwan Birdy: Decode and loved it, so I expected this to be shit, but in some ways I actually enjoyed it more than the new series! Off to watch the rest :P |
EvilGirl said: I expected this to be shit, but in some ways I actually enjoyed it more than the new series! Your first mistake was underestimating a piece of Madhouse's work. |
| I'm dead. Don't come looking for me. |
| Pretty decent episode, a bit fast paced if you're used to the alternative version of this show but still quite good, a new enemy which is been voiced by Wakamoto Norio so it's also nice to hear him again. Well lets see what the other episodes have to offer! |
 |
| Watching this first. Nice start |
 |
| Yeah it's quite un-Kawajiri. You can see hints of it in red/blue contrasts and sometimes in the monsters but it's much lighter fare than usual |
| I'm actually quite surprised the space federation went through all this just so it wouldnt affect a random kid that was killed by accident. Surely this affects Birdy way more as she's now unable to function as she used to. That's guessing she wasn't just on Earth just chasing random aliens all her life. Also I wonder if they're able to extract Birdy whenever they need to. Lmao, the scene between Tsutomo's dad and Birdy was hilarious :D Interesting start, I'm impreessed :) |
 |
| i really want to watch this ova series but the dub is TOO painful to bear. is the original japanese lost to time or is there a version out there with eng subs i hope? :( |
| The animation is gorgeous, those quick transformation sequences were so seamless. I'm glad I finally got around to watching this after all these years. fishpun said: i really want to watch this ova series but the dub is TOO painful to bear. is the original japanese lost to time or is there a version out there with eng subs i hope? :( It was a little more difficult than usual, but they're definitely out there! Should be one of the first searches if you type right onto google. |
| Lol @ the ED song that pretty much ships Birdy and Tsutomu. First-time watcher, so I have no clue how their relationship is gonna play out. But based on the first episode alone, I wouldn't consider them a romantic pairing... (yet, anyway) |
 |
| best thing was the main battle theme because of those funny piano montunos. |

| Beautiful fight scene against the arkazoids, poetry in motion. Fantastic animation in this OVA. The English dub isn't all that bad; Birdy VA is pretty good. But Tsutomo's VA really sucks, pretty much unbearable to listen to. It doesn't help that Tsutomu is indifferent to the fact the woman is on a mission of galactic importance, which makes him pretty annoying compared to Birdy. |
| Gender bending reminds me of Ranma 1/2. Must have come as a shock for Tsutomu meeting Birdy like that and suddenly sharing a body with her too. Also for his dad wanting to bath with his 'son' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 |
| A very nice series so far! The intrusion by Dad and his reasoning of Naked Communication was too funny. The series has some good action, the plot is entertaining, and the MC kid isn't a total wimp/whiner. He had his doubts but accepted the situation and is dealing with it very smoothly..... considering who is sharing a body with. I actually like the older artwork as a change from all the high tech stuff now. This reminds me of my early anime time....lol. |
 |
| Really loved the bath scene |
  |
| regular guy turns into a colorful woman at night, hey, I had a neighbor like this |
 |
| now this is some kinda zany mahou shoujo...nen. shounenjo. shounenjonen. something like that. buildup was pretty good, did a nice job creating a bit of mystery, pretty fun! |
