*Tears of joy*
Im glad that i brought a moment of joy. I like animes with a darker tone where u dont feel that its trying to be all dark and badass.
My only issue i feel that they almost kinda sorta cut parts out at random. Sometimes u see blood sometimes u dont. I wonder how much is cut out cause i sometimes events get confusing although i do understand that anime storys are fawked sometimes. There is one scene where a guy from the army base is informing the commander of the Space Knights and the army general shots him in the back of the head. All u see is the guy fall over real fast and the commander lifting up a a smoking gun with no blood. The gun smoking is weird 2 cuz its in the future and they use "lazors". But then again im usually loaded or smoking a doobie when i watch this show...dude lol
The thing with the blood being there and then not being there, and the increased frame rate at certain things, and the sound suddenly being put on an odd loop while some animation plays is because of the weird thing that Anime Works decided to do when making the set.
They took the soundtrack for the Saban dub which was set to an already chopped up version of the animation, but completely got rid of all the footage. Then they took the footage from the japanese DVD set and re-cut it to match the audio from the Saban dub, and did a terrible terrible job of it... In order to replace some of the parts that were cut from the original they increased the frame rate in some places, and made small audio loops in others. (See Marlow's death for a good example.)
In my humble opinion however, I would have kept the original dub cut of the animation, it was a decent dub especially for something that came from Saban, especially in later episodes when they cut back on the super hero cheese dialogue.
I also dislike the fact that Anime Works tried to shoe horn the original OP and ED into the set rather than keeping the dub OP and ED. And they end up making too severe of a cut at the beginning and end of each episode, especially with their sudden "To be continued" insert. It's annoying for someone who is familiar with the original dub.
And worst of all, the TBC insert and the title graphical inserts are of shockingly low quality. Combining this with the badly recut animation... It's really not good. I was not happy with the Anime Works set at all, to the point I'd rather watch the chinese bootlegs because they actually did a better job of recutting the animation.
But the good thing is that because of you I'm going to go and watch the whole thing over again.
