www.zegapain.net is now active

I dunno, the blurb that Newtype-USA had regarding this series made it seem interesting, but after watching the official trailer, the show doesn't appear to be anything special. I'll keep an eye out for any new info as it emerges.

watched ep 1. It's a gundam, matrix, school romance action anime. Kinda different.

also:
from what was in the episode, it's almost as if there are multiple realities/dimensions that those people swtich into and out of. Remember the comments about this not being his first time in the mech? He's also in the begining mech against the things on the moon. So i'm thinking either there are multiple dimensions, or his memory is wiped out after each "encounter".

Liked it until they got to the part where

the main character knows how to pilot a mech even though he has no memory of it.

Find those situations of "Hey I can do this well and it is my first time in this reality and I have no memory of past realities that someone else seems to know of!" utterly annoying. It has been used one to many times.

Dropping this show.

This anime is really nice, and I totally love it. It has good looking characters, good animation, and most of the computer generated graphics looks nice. The only thing I don't like is the Zegapain units' torso design, and VERY SLIGHTLY, during the fighting, the movement of Zegapain Altair wasn't as fluid.

I guess some of the 3D stuff is cool, certainly more impressive than if they did 100% non computer graphics, but it's just not my taste. I'm probably spoiled on Gundam and stuff, where they draw all the robots out, and also turned off by the huge amount of horribly done 3D robot animation. Still, I would rate Zegapain pretty high, since a lot of the futuristic effects are nice. Makes me want to get an XBOX360...but then the only games I would play would be Halo3, DoA4, and Zegapain.

Second episode is out... and I'm still unimpressed. The action sequences are not that exciting and I'm still shaking my head at the use of CG for the mechas and whatnot. especially since it clashes with the rest of the animation, which only includes bits of CG here and there, mostly in backgrounds and details.

Even if Kyo thinks that the Zegapain and stuff is some sort of game he still asks surprisingly few questions about what is going on, specially after the others make it clear (to thrmselves) that the fight is actually quite a serious matter. At episode 2 we till don't know what is going on. What is the Zegapain fighting against? why? Basically: What he hell is going on here? so far we've only seen this kid get into a robot and blast some grunts away. Big deal. Hopefully the plot will drop by soon.

I have not quite taken a liking to this anime yet... I hope it picks up in the next few episodes

well on ep2
you learn a lil more bout the other "world" that the fighting accurs in. I'm figuring this is a 26ep series so they're starting off slow. You have a guy who needs to pilot a mech and save the world from the ebil badass monsters.

It's shaping up to be a typical mecha saves the world anime. Only difference is the teleporting thing. That's the only interesting thing the anime offeres.

I am thinking of the line, that somehow that it is actually a serious "game" of some sorts. And that lead just got reincarnated or something, but with no memories

What intrigues me is how time moves strangely and Kyo seems to have no notice of it whatsoever, as if it's just normal for him.

Yeah..after watching the first two episodes I've come to the conclusion that I'm more interested in the character love development than the mecha action. I don't feel that compelled to watch it though...it just doesn't compete with Fafner or the other big name mecha animes. The mecha design is nice and all, but somehow I just can't seem to enjoy watching the fight scenes.

Although the anime is nice (Should be) but I don't like the mecha, the design bit bad compare to gundam or aquarion Confused
