Yay!
I've started watching on episode #07 so i really am so confused.
I just switched to Dish network and i had now idea it had funimation or any other anime channels. Sadly, even with this new discovery, I only have 3 channels with anime on them.
I tried watching the first episodes of Vandread on Youtube but all it has for it is openings, endings, etc.

You like starting books on page 86 don't you?Tenshi K. Tama wrote:I've started watching on episode #07 so i really am so confused.
obviously you're going to be a bit confused.
In a nutshell:
The main Character Comes from a race civilization of all men, part of an original colony ship from earth that separated from all the women for some unspecified reason (early in the show you don't know the whys).
He doesn't really fit in well, and at some point his adventures start when a ceremony he's at gets attacked by the dread 'women'. Monsters that eat your guts out, or so he's been told all his life. Turns out that women, being anime women are all young, hot and sexy. They also hate men be seem to be smarter about it.
The ship he's on escapes somehow and winds up in BORG territory. The 'harvesters' are essentially 'borg' for most of the movie and you can think of them as such.
They fight their way back to the homeworlds, learn some lessons about life, love and loss on the way back.
Meanwhile, the animation is great, the characters are all distinctive and mostly pretty enjoyable. I Haven't seen the english translations so I can't comment on that. There are many predictable episodes and a few genuinely sad moments in the show as well.
This for example will be familiar with anyone who's seen the show.
I found it quirky and fun.
Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a night. Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Everything came from nothing, therefore everything is nothing.

Yeah, I've seen Vandread. I loved it. I think it was sooo funny how they came from planet of men and planet of women (I can't remember why it became that way) but anyway, it was hilarious. At the beginning when they all try to live on the same ship...hahahha...
One of my favourite scenes that I remember the most was when the women first saw men and when they touched them (I think it was because of fight...it was close to the beginning eps) and this genius looking girl locked the other girls in a clear glass room and made them take a cold shower so they don't catch the men's germs...that was funny.
Wait, does this whole thing make sense? I apologise if it doesn't.

uhhh, Do you mean that I wait later after a show starts to to start watching it?madbunny wrote:You like starting books on page 86 don't you?
I just got Encore wam so it already had started before I even knew there was a such an anime.
blonde slut: Jura
chick who's always following her: Barbette
the spyin little brat is Paiway
Barbette is Jura's lover, that's why they always together.
Something I don't get or is just plain weird is that for the christmas episode, Barbette made a christmas cake, which was a log! A giant hunk of wood made out of frosting! WTF! Also, they said that they got christmas from Earth. Thing is, Earth is the people trying to harvest them. They probably didn't know or somthing.

yeah, I knew that about jura and barbette.
I thought they said it was a tridition on their home planet?
anyway, anybody else think it was creepy when the old-hag was trying to find a lover of her own using the christmas presents?

babys
The way that women reproduce in Vandread is by combining two eggs, one from the oma and one from the fama?, I think that's what the second mother is called anyway. This is something that sceintists did at least once before usings eggs from to female mice. I saw it in Newseek, a news magazine, a few years ago.
