Vandread

I've only recently finished the series and I have to say that it is one of the funniest animes I've ever seen. I love the idea of women and men phisically being on different planets, as to the real world where we are only mentally on different planets. But seriously, it has good music (esspecially the first stages opening is my fav), it has a good story and funny characters. This anime has everything that I want in an anime, I gotta tell ya. This one gets a 10 from me.

Having only seen a few episodes from this anime, I must say that I have high expectations for it. It's hilarious (always a plus), has mecha (another plus), and it has a good animatioin style.

What I mean by that last comment is that there are a lot of moments where you just want to go 'awww' and go all gushy, while other moments where the characters are moving at break neck speed and there's such an intensity to it that the viewer has to do a 180.

Also, Freud would have a field day with the whole [Spoiler] combining mecha bit. [/Spoiler] In terms of his philosophy, the idea could be construed to be another form of, forgive the euphimism, [Spoiler] combination.[/Spoiler]

If you get what I mean, great! If you don't, you'll learn when you grow up. I think. :animeswea

I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

[QUOTE]Is it just me, or is there nudity during the ending? I am pretty sure thier is, but the show itself never has any nudity, as far as I have seen. Also, who else thinks Mei is a little too cliched?[/QUOTE]
[SIZE=1]In the ending credits you mean? That wasn't nudity. That was Jura pulling up her skirt and Hibiki having a nosebleed over it. Nothing was shown and the picture was pretty blurry anywway. Get over it.

How can Mei be too cliched? She's the perfect over serious character that evens out the mood of the show. Unlike the quiet "No one cares about me." character that other animes tend to forever feed from. She's very central and keeps the other overactice crew mates sane.[/SIZE]

It is just the fact that thier is a character like Mei in every anime, the person with the rough childhood who is now very quiet and self-centered. Honestly, most of the characters are a little overused, but Dita still is funny, just because she is completely over-the-top.

Anyway I was talking about the scene before that for the nudity, the 2nd scene with Jura. I am not perverted or anything, I just need to know if it was only me for a review.

[COLOR=#656448][SIZE=1]Ending...sequence? Of the first season? The one with the really sexy sounding song? Hmm, I remember seeing scrollling images of the naked pilots in the ending sequence but they were mostly showing their bare shoulders and other PG-13 parts.

As for [COLOR=#F76590]Meia[/COLOR], yes, her personality's a bit cliche but she's one of the few characters in the series who actually evolved personality-wise (other characters would be Hibiki and, umm... Duero?).[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[FONT=Arial Narrow]i think Vandread is a good show. ithe plot is good, along with the story line. (whow the 3 men end up on a women's ship.) i don't really like the ending "pictures" at the end of the first stage, really. i was seeing it and i'm like "...okay......" :animestun didn't care for it much.... but yes. i like to watch it. i like comedy action shows.
this my seen girly, and i maybe turning into my firend, but the last episode of the 2nd stage is so sweet! :angel: :love2: but all the butt kicking is cool![/FONT]

Vandread deserves to be a classic, but Pyaro, Rabat and that stinky Utan stink and have got to go. Dita and Jura--they're just TOO CRAZY :animeswea

In my viewpoint, sometimes I think Vandread's Hibiki would been better off just as a loner, with the way Dita, Jura and Misty fight over the dude. 'Sides, who'd want to marry a hotheaded loudmouth like the H-man? You'd marry one gal and the other two would get on your case, if not cry their eyes out. If I was Hibiki, I'd say to Dita, Jura and Misty, "You fight over me like immature brats!! I'd rather be a lone wolf!!" and walk out on them, so much, the better.

It's a fact that in Vandread, Dita would cry if Hibiki died, right? But out of curiousity:
Would Misty and/or Meia cry if he died? I am quite sure Barnette would cry as well--but NOT Jura. Jura sure wouln't cry @ all if Hibiki died; she only wanted the H-man for her own greedy gains, and didn't care. She'd cry ONLY for Barnette, according to the Van dread canon, and rightly so. Cheerful thought, eh? :animecry:

I don't know why I like Vandread. Because I don't really care for many fun animes. Perhaps, it's because of how they had a man meeting a woman for the 1st time. "shrugs"

Animation was nicely done. Well except for the 2nd episode. (1st stage) Characters looked uhh... weird. (or deformed)

What can I say about the music....? It was catchy. Don't like it nor do I hate it. It's just catchy and we'lll leave it at that. If I had to say a bad thing about it, it would probably be Hibiki. He give hotheads a bad name. And besides, he's too dramatic. (I don't like that.)

I was watching action encore tuesday and saw this cool mecha anime with the star hibiki.a mechcanic from the planet turock and the women he's forced to team up with Dita,Maya, and jura one interest thing in this is. cool fighting robots and beautiful women :animeblus any fan of these elements will love this one. it's a great anime but in my case it a little to lovey dovey and not as much action as say gundam wing. or Neon genesis evangelion-although Neon genesis can be a little to complicated to figure out sometimes :animestun i mean in Neon genesis case you got to watch it more then once to truly understand it. but if i recommend any anime to watch on tv it would be Vandread. :D

I don't hear much about this anime, is it new? Everytime I go to a store to look at some anime or to see if I can buy something I want to wach I always see Vandread. They had the whole first stage for like $40.00 which in my opinion is very cheap, I was thinking of buying it but I had no one to tell me if it was good or not. Thanks to you guys I know it's a good anime and I might infact buy it.

It depends on whether you call 4 years ago new? (came out in 2002) I wish I'd known about it being $40 for a box set... I probably would've brought at the beginning of this year.

But it is a pretty decent anime. Some may find the girls in it rather annoying.... I was pretty much unphased by it..... Check it out whenever you get a chance.

AnimeHeroX - As much as it's been on, I have to say it's about time they took it off. I was growing very tired of it. It also came on EWAM everyday for 2 years. So, yeah, it's about time that it comes to an end.

[FONT=Franklin Gothic Medium]Oooh, oooh! I'm a Vandread fan too! I watched it about 4 years ago, but then I just recently saw it again. Cause - errm - there was this site with the words Vandread in it, and it kinda triggered my memory of how I used to love the damn series.

So got the 1st and 2nd seasons, love, loved, loving it. ^__^ By the way, I'm new .. so. Hi everybody, :D[/FONT]
