Also, you're calling Bulma a minor character? lolol. |

That show is hardly moe. Hell, unless you're a masochist I don't see how you could even find any of the girls in that show 'moe'. It was a mean-spirited gag show, and that's exactly why I liked it.  Nothing revolutionary, sure, but I sure found it amusing enough.

Setting for one, fantasy vs. 1900's U.K. Take Dragon Balls cannon and how they react to the name, now imagine those names in 1900's U.K.? Different reaction.
Researching further, yes Bulma is a support character, a secondary character, thus not lead according to popular opinion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulma So I stand buy what I say. |

Look at the second "Main character" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dragon_Ball_characters#Main_characters |

Bulma was a main character in DragonBall as she actually participated in most of the adventures with the rest of the gang and played a big role. But she faded off into minor character territory in Z and GT.

Well by that list the main cast of friends and villains all become main characters, there is a difference between main and lead. There can only be one! is something to keep in mind with a lead as a main character can play second fiddle, and as the series progress characters can go down, further and further.

The lameness and ignorance in this thread hurts my brain.
And it really shows how most people that claim to be Gainax fans know nothing about Gainax at all.
Please tell me you're not serious. |

At the very beginning of Dragon Ball, Bulma was the co-protagonist and one of only two characters appearing in the first chapter. She only became a supporting character after the first arc ended.

I know it's weird saying this considering the name I just picked but... Gunbuster was okay, but the way people put it on a pedestal and think of it as anime at its absolute best is pretty sad. It had a lot of stuff going for it but it was also massively flawed and had tons of plot holes and inconsistencies. Not to mention that aside from the time dilation thing and introducing tit bouncing to anime (OH MAN INNOVATION), it simply wasn't all that creative.
Also this. A THOUSAND TIMES THIS. The people who expect this to be like He Is My Master or something like that have absolutely no idea who Hiroyuki Imaishi is and what the man's work is like. He can take ANYTHING and make it incredibly stylish and badass - go watch his episode of Petite Princess Yucie for god's sake. You also need to watch episode 1 of RE: Cutie Honey, also by Imaishi. It's filled with bouncing tits and whatnot, but it also has amazing art direction and animation and is simply a blast to watch. I *dare* you to not have fun with it. |

They are falling back in to place. It goes around. It will go back to what you want eventually. Look how well the Eva rehashes are doing. They are probably getting more funding for another blockbuster. Last edited by Shadowrun20XX on Thu May 06, 2010 11:08 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I guess this'll be GAINAX's otaku bait for the year. Not the most scintillating or groundbreaking of ideas (namely the characters), but Imaishi's involvement makes it worthwhile alone, since his style could certainly make things interesting. The concept, basic as it is, is almost like Shikabane Hime meets Di Gi Charat, which makes it passingly intriguing in that light, alone. I'll give them credit on the title, though; it's cute.

Yeah, as long as it's actually "a show by Imaishi and Otsuka about angels battling ghosts" this has the potential to be totally awesome with godly animation and obviously some Gainax fanservice (Yoko's outfit in TTGL). And they've got the Gurren character designer so the character designs should be good too. If this weren't the Imaishi show I'd certainly be worried this would be the next romantic comedy/fanservice heavy fluff show that they tend to put out in between their "big" stuff, but it'd be odd if he were on an "in-between project" and he hasn't really done those and as you said this is the type of absurd basic description he'll somehow turn into a fun and stylish action piece. |

Just as a reminder this (not exactly NSFW, but you might get some weird looks if someone sees the dialog in the image) was Gainax's cash cow before Evangelion.
