It's usually better to download 720p because of the smaller filesizes. ;o Edit: 20mb/sec? Can I come to your house to download anime in the future?  | ||

I'm unsure of how popular this Anime is but I absolutely love the casualness of it all and the rather odd direction of the show. It's basically about a show of an energetic kid trying to make a national bread for japan like in France and Italy (Baguette and some Rustic bread!). What I love the most is that the character is a generic anime hero where he is disregarded as some sap or weak-minded being. Overall a flop and a failure in the eyes of everyone else. Admittedly, he does have a "special" ability, but regardless. The show is creative, silly and interesting. However, I can never get too far into the series ): P.S: Image is the Manga form of it. But it's an Anime series as well. Yakitate Japan! is really fun for its first season. Its very unique way to do a shounin anime lol. I mean, just showing some people clips from that show is enough to get them to watch it. The bread battles and stuff is just too good. Unfortunately, Dragon Ball Bread can only be funny and fresh for so long. Later seasons, especially the last season, becomes painfully formulatic and predictable, and just not nearly as good. The show starts off really strong, but unfortunately gets progressively worse, and the ending of the anime is disappointing as well.

That and Maaya Sakamoto's song on it is purely art itself! The Escaflowne movie isn't popular because its garbage. The series itself is probably like a hidden gem IMO. People who watch it tend to like it. Personally, its one of my favorite shows. This is one of those mecha shows that is really unique compared to alot of the other shows, mainly due to its setting (blend of fantasy and mecha, basically). The only show that comes sorta close to the setting is Break Blade, but thats alot more steam punk (IDK if thats the best word to describe it actually). But the Guymelefs in that show are just so cool, and the battles are extremely good. And its one of the few shows where I feel the dub is excellent. The only problem with Escaflowne is towards the end + Show Spoiler + where everything that happens turns out to be because of "fate" or some shit. Aka everything is literally a plot device. I'm serious. edit: also Escaflowne isn't "really" old, its just a 90s anime. Unless 90s anime is considered really old now, in which case I will feel old again  On February 23 2011 12:02 Phtes wrote: I'll believe you....This time. On another note I need something to watch, preferably some form of action, I need a break from all the slice of life / harem animes I've been watching. Any suggestions =D Action animu eh? New Getter Robo. You're welcome in advance. | ||

Also, since I was helping Ferrose find LoGH Movie links, I rediscovered my rage over Golden Wings. ![[image loading]](http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/4360/legendwings004.png) That's Reinhard. He looks like a little bitch in the movie. Although in this picture, he doesn't look nearly as bitchy as he normally does. Also, cool purple uniforms, Imperial Fleet, its a shame you stopped wearing those cool black ones with the collar/shoulder things. And the evil looking guy who wears the lipstick in the background is the bad guy. WTF is someone like that doing on LoGH??? Just wait till you see/hear Yang in this movie... ![[image loading]](http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/7550/legendwings003.png) The Death Star. I mean Iserlohn. | ||

You're welcome in advance. Does Yakitate get any better after that bread battle the hero has with that rivaling bread shop? That's where I stopped and just never bothered again. As for Escaflowne, I haven't seen it since I was a kid, since in my lifetime, it's be awhile :B I don't wanna read your spoiler @____@, but yeah I loved the odd setting mix too~ | ||

And I think that Yang's voice changing has something to do with his original seiyuu dying in 1995 due to cancer. | ||

Well, season 2 has better material, but considering they did all 11 vols of DenYuuDen, I'd suspect that if anything happens, it won't be till DaiDenYuuDen concludes. | ||
