I know there are two versions. One with more skin. I watched the first episode long ago. Was not impressed.

I watched the first 3-4 episodes a while ago... I also was not impressed. I liked some of the relationships it set up, but it just kept coming back to the real theme of the show, which was 'lulz dominatrix'.

well, i said it wasn't bad, not its great. i actually watched the whole show, and while its not the best, its good for killing time. and zeta, i don't quite think thats the theme, although it might. apparently its loosely based of an old comic over here

Yeah, I've never read the comic, but I did see the live action miniseries. It was pretty good... but I never recalled the main character transforming into a walking example of fanservice every time she got in a fight. Which was exactly what I hated about the show. Now don't get me wrong, I liked the main character and her daughter, but the way the mother's personality did a 180 every time she used the Witchblade killed the mood for me. I just couldn't enjoy it.

true, Masane's personality shift was just to much. although later it gets more bearable.

as far as the fan service goes, you didn't get far enough to meet the cloneblade wielders did you?

I was probably an episode or so before it... but I don't think it would have changed my opinion at all. I was REALLY disgusted with the way everything was handled.

I'd watch it if they came out for free. Otherwise, it's not good enough to warrant a purchase.

Not bad but not great.

It was okay. I stopped at around ep 12 or so. The animation kinda sucked, but it was fixed on the DVDs from what I've seen.

I was more worried about the time investment.. even when it was free, i.e. fansubs, I wasn't willing to watch it.

Isn't it 13 episodes?

The source material isn't that good in the first place so it's not a surprise. I can think of a dozen graphic novels, stories are self contained, that would work better animated.

Especially when there's not enough time and you want to do everything. XD

I was impressed by E7. True I stopped watching it after 13 episodes but these days I consider it an achievement if a new anime is watchable for more than 10 seconds. Let alone a couple of episodes. Would of finished E7 if I had the time. But alas, ctrl+del. >.>

Aw, poor poor Eureka 7. Speaking of your viewing habits, Shin, how long did Gurren Lagann and Code Geass last for you?

I watched all of Gurren Lagann.

Code Geass I heard was good. And I found a 13 episode batch and thought what the hell, it's only 13 episodes. I was enjoying it and each episode I was telling myself no way this is only 13 episodes. I checked and it was 20 something plus a 2nd season was coming months later. Screw that. Stopped after episode 13. XD

Ah well, maybe someday we'll get you to catch up and join us in the Code Geass topic. Maybe. XD

Any anime topic with more than 5 pages is too overwhelming for me. I don't participate even if it's something I like. Like Gurren Lagann.

Maybe someday I'll go back to E7 and CG. New stuff I want to watch but haven't yet, Monster, Samurai Champloo, Shugurui, that Ryosuke Takahashi samurai anime and others.

But I'm not touching them till I finish Cobra, Uresei Yatsura, Lupin TV (70 episodes down 200 or so to go), Ace O Narae, Rose of Versailles (JP and AR dub), Takarajima (JP and AR dub) , Sindbad (JP and AR dub), Remi (JP and AR dub), Oniisama e..., Hakugei, City Hunter, Ashita no Joe, all of the Leiji Matsumoto stuff, Legend of Galactic Heroes.... and the list goes on. XD

EDIT: Forgot to mention the Go Nagai stuff I keep piling. Majokko Chikkuru, Psycho Armour Govarian, Getter Robo, Getter Robo Gou, Mazinger, Great, God Mazinger, Cutey Honey, Gloizer X.

Doesn't help that they liked their series long in those days. I did give up on one series. Saint Seiya. After 80 episodes I couldn't take anymore. >.>

EDIT: I Have never watched DB and plan to watch all of it someday.

May the lord have mercy on your soul... watching all of DB/DBZ alone is enough to take up all of someone's time all on its own.
