| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- WOW! Anyone seen this yet? I fell in love with the animation. I looked like a manga came to life. Apparently this started off as a Cup O Noodle commercial? If anyone knows more about it I would love to know. |
 |
| I found out about this OVA just now~ and I'm really interested. I looked for it ... but I can't find it anywhere. Do you know where I can watch it? ^__^ |
 |
| Gonna repeat my blog episode reaction ('cause its ever-changing whereas this thread will remain): Its been a while since I saw some ambitious sci-fi. Its such a blast seeing Katsuhiro Otomo's designs animated again! The facial expressions were great, although the characters themselves felt a bit too CGI-ish and not very interesting either. The backgrounds however are very impressive. This is also the first anime where I've already known the OP music (yes I'm a Utada Hikaru fan...) Actually I also recognised the soundtrack composer without even checking them up too, it sounded very similar to Ergo Proxy which was scored by Yoshihiro Ike. |

| Interesting start to a series. I enjoyed the story and the scope but i'm not sure about the computer animation style. Feels like a cross between Speed Racer and Cowboy Bebop maybe.... To the first two posts: Yoroshiku fansubs have subbed and released it :) |
 |
| I, uh...really didn't like the animation style. Not the designs themselves, but the CG seemed awkward. Other than that, good start and looking forward to the plot. Needs more Cup Noodle. |
 |
| Ending really had me hooked! |
| Okay, obviously there's some sort of political angle/cover up going on here from what i can gather. CG was a little awkward, but I got past it. I am interested to see what develops out of the picture. |
 |
| Damn just amazing, I really loved this first episode especially that ending made me really wonder what's up with earth and than the racing was just amazing! Really nice start I wonder what's next! Even though this is 3D they did a great job still getting in that 2D look and feel! Really amazing! |
 |
| Looks like Nissin cup noodles, did Nissin sponsor this? LOL Surprised the photograph/postcard survived the impact with not a bit of scratch, burn, or tear. After Kazuma's little sister, we got the new girl in the photograph whom Takeru takes interest now. XD Oh |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Real good looking animation and art. Not to impressed at the story so far but it can get better. |

| Apollo 11, a true legend. I am really keen to find out what happens next. |

| first impression: this mc isnt mature enough to get the message second impression: his lifelong goal is to find a girl XD well this is interesting enough for me |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| Really awesome first episode. Loved the focus on racing, the connection to the moon landing and the tease at the end. Feels like just the type of sci-fi that is all too hard to find within the realm of anime. Only real negative is the animation, which isn't exactly awful but at the same time 2006 era TV CGI isn't exactly ideal. |
