i forgot about cloning, but how did that girl get pregnant on there ship? I mean are they packing that kind of stuff on a pirate ship? thats weird,



by the way, double kudo's on that
Though listening to two guys talking about making a baby is VERY scary...

2 girls on the other hand...

I say leave the baby-makin-talk- to the lady's thats there area of expertese, but the whole idea of men and wemon living seperated is pretty confusing in itself, so I might by spitting in the wind with these questions.... :| .....
by the way, I watched an episode. when hibiki ran away and found that ship with men and wemon on it....then they all died WTF?? like right when he got his van-type out of there ship they all...like died....I mean he's like a bad luck charm er-sumpin

If tragedy didn't keep happening, main anime dudes don't get strong enough in the end to kick arse and take names...

Lol, i've only seen the first ep of Vandread Stage 1, and i've seen all of Vandread Stage 2.

It's a pretty good show. The "battle of the sexes" is always something interesting, and this show takes it to the extreme. But when Hibiki and the other 2 dudes end up on the girl's ship, that's when things got interesting, especially when the girls like Hibiki... There's a REALLY good twist in there somewhere about one of the characters on the ship, but i'm not gonna say it out loud...

Originall it started as a expedition to find a new place to live because earth was going to the crapper real quick. Well the expedition crash landed and the women seperated from the men and began creating humans in test tubes. After a long time with no one remembering when they actually exsisted together in peace, the women and the men battled with each other.

That's how it happened from what I remember. The only reason they start working together is because earth starts sending out ships to harvest organs from humans because their own bodies decay from the earth's atmosphere.

So now they fight together against the 'Harvest'
Actually, that's not entirely true. The colonies were purposedly made for the "harvest" Each colony had a purpose. Since the two colonies were created for the harvest of sex organs, they purposedly were set up to be seperate in order to have unused organs. Sick, but true.

Also, sorry for the double post.

Rabat's (Rat B*stard, as his name really is a nickname for) people are the only known colony NOT intended for harvesting. They got out of it through a special deal with Earth.

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?

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.

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.
