No. Feel free to correct my impression, though, or make a valid argument that the series can reach a comparable audience to Emma. |

If it's a more slow-moving sci-fi, would you say the pacing is similar to the Banner/Crest of the Stars series? The apparent talkiness of that trilogy was the reason I never bothered with it, so if this show has as much technobabble and still framery, eh...maybe not.

Sorry That's what I get for trying to be diplomatic & include titles I don't own. Not that I own Ninja Nonsense yet. It's on my list of someday I'll get it & I only have pieces of Tyler. Did see a couple eps of NN at con & it seemed pretty funny, but Comic-con religiously only plays subs
Like dubs all you want. I actually watch dub more than sub, but I hate it far more when I can't get the sub than when I can only get the dub. If Koyasu's in it, I'm at least watching his segments in Japanese. Depending on the role, same for Yamaguchi. One Piece is just too long to sit & read subs, so I basically watch the dub & pop over to sub when it looks like it'll be a good exchange. I know the Japanese dial it in sometimes, but far more care comes thru on the Japanese side far more often than on the American dub side.

It's what I consider stream-of-consciousness sort of stuff. I have one more disc to watch on Toward the Terra (because I have a hard time finding 2 hrs I can just sit & read the screen & it's a sub-only release), but it is far more exciting & interesting than The Third. In the Third you have the narrator voicing Haruka's feelings as well as the action. There's a heavy recycle message-the world is being assessed for destruction by god-like beings & the Third race of aliens are trying to prevent it so they sort of overlord the humans-won't allow them to have technology, but little Miss Headband (hint hint. Don't you know it before the headband comes off the first time? I mean, THE TITLE?) is, of course, the salvation of everyone & everything. (typical shonen hero/heroine). It's less Crest of the Stars to me than a lot of western sci-fi movies one could dredge up. Bits of Toward the Terra. Bits of Crest of the Stars. Some villain of the week shonen can't get away from (Trigun). It's a pretty good blend of a lot of other ideas so that it's fairly fresh, if very slow. It's less action-packed, than unveiling/opening like a flower if you understand my drift. In fact, it feels very much like a dance-a ballet specifically It's not painful like other titles which I've blissfully forgotten at the moment, but my teen could remind me & reopen all the painful memories of forcing myself to watch the shows. |
