spoiler[There's the horny yakuza chick, the ultra flexible dancer/assasin, the "godess" inside a weird secret society, a former war photagrapher who apparently gets a woody while photographing people as they get killed... and that annoying gay guy Laughing ]
Seems weird enough to keep on watching. Im going to try to hold my judgement for a few more eps.

Man, spoiler[I have to say that rubber man that was head popping those guards makes Luffy look like stiff board. And are there really places that actually "branded" chained naked women as it was shown in the silhouette? Shocked ]

This is SO going to get licensed soon. Rolling Eyes

The answer to this follows the First Rule of Perversion: "If you can imagine it, then someone, somewhere, is doing it and enjoying every minute of it." and its corollary: "- and someone else is making money off it."

This is sometimes also restated as the Rule of Faith and Philosophy: "Any weird philosophy or theology that you can imagine is already being, or has been, or will be, practiced, somewhere."

OH MY GOD! the theme song is Duran Duran- Girls On Film

Shocked the world can officailly end.


EDIT oh man! this is gonna go down as some kind of cult classic or something, cause this show is pure cheese. it's like those crappy OAVs that were released in the early 90s, like Midnight Eye Goku. i'm really curious where this is going.

Classic.

This is the most entertaining thing I've seen since Dokuro Chan.... which was this weekend. Anyway, I'm going to keep tabs on this show. Has a high enough "WTF Factor" to keep me watching for at least a few more episodes.

Heh, my brother actually said the same thing, but I haven't seen EWS to make that connection.

Hey hey, and I thought there'd be nothing new worth watching this spring. This, this is a good show. spoiler[Extra points for Homicidal Dancer Mr. Fantastic.] Very stylish and exciting - better than your usual anime "set up" first episode, really. I can hardly wait to see where they go from here.

I do hope this gets licensed soon, because the quicker we get those DVDs, the better.

Definitely. I actually enjoyed the first episode and will probably enjoy this series because I love mysterious movies and stuff like that. The "WTF Factor" is really high on this show already after the first episode and most of the movies I buy and watch usually have the same effect. Although this show does catch my attention Trinity Blood looks so freakin cool, I'm actually looking forward to more titles this spring than I have in quite some time.
