Wow! What a rush! There is one disappointing thing about the last disc involving a group of nice people. I don't want to give out too much since people are so easily upset when I give out spoilers. Even though I do not know for sure, I have faith in Vandread producers that those people will have meant something significant in the 2nd Vandread series.
What NEAT animation and character drawings! It's a pleasure watching this stuff through dScaler. Once I get my Panamorph, I'll be able to stretch the overlay to make it pseudo anamorphic.
I read some people saying that they'd take Gatekeepers over Vandread. Not that I care, but man, do they need their brains checked. Okay, okay, everyone has their opinions, but this is just too far out there. Vandread doesn't have enough character development, they say. I don't think these people have the grasp of the situation. Sure, it's far-fetched to separate men and women the way they did, but this is anime. You first accept that such a thing happened and once you do, I think you can understand why the characters act so strangely. Deep inside, the characters know what's going on. I think the characters develop heck of a lot. Besides, it's not even over yet. There isn't enough drama, you say? What did you expect? One of the reasons Vandread is such a pleasure to watch is because the show knows what it's created for. Sure it's not created to tell you the "meaning of life and everything (R)." It's just very entertaining in many levels. Isn't that one of the important aspects of being alive? Hmm, I guess it does say something about the meaning of life. Besides, I know of no other show, be it anime or not, that is as neat as Vandread is.
I wonder if these same people who hate Vandread love "Love Hina...." Yeah! I managed to put in a small Love Hina Bashing(TM)! Okay, okay. It's not my best Love Hina Basing(TM).
