Just finished this. Can we have a Gun x Sword thread?
Sure, why not.I only got about halfway through the series though.As I was watching one of my DVD's, my desktop exploded. So... yeah, I get sort of a negative association with it because of that. anyways FUCK YEAH EL DORADO!
>>44796FUCK YES, EPISODE 3. And then, after some foreshadowing, they rejoin the team later on. They even recruited that mad scientist dude as their assistant, though for the most part he's just mentioned.Also this show has one of, if not the, strangest beach episodes ever.
>>44799 Yeaaaah, but then again, what can you expect of a show which had battle-mustaches?I will say, as much as I liked this show, the influences were very very obvious, which doesn't really detract from it I suppose, but it's hard to get over at some points.
>>44804You said your computer died halfway through though didn't you? You wouldn't have seen the beach episode (with the female-only kingdom). As for the influences, I'm pretty sure most of them were deliberate shoutouts and parodies, like El Dora V and the episode feature two characters that pretty much stepped right out of Pulp Fiction. .
>>44806 Hmmm, well then I probably mistook the beach episode for Episode 10 "Thank you Ocean!" I got up to about episode 17-20 (somewhere in there.) because I got to dvd 5 before it blew the motherboard.As for influences and stuff, I was mostly talking about the fact that Vahn is essentially Spike + Vash driving a robot. The entire thing has an extremely obvious style similarity to Trigun.
MUSTACHE BRIGADE
>>44831Vahn outright parodies Vash with that whole changing surname business. Aside of the whole Space Western mood though, it doesn't really have that much else to do with Trigun. Bebop I don't see at all.
>>44836 He looks exactly like Spike with a hat.
I got the impression that the guys behind Gun x Sword were trying very hard to make an anime.That's my opinion.
>>44852>implying they didn't succeed gloriouslyBones confirmed to have watched 2 episodes.
Discuss
>>44936I'll be in my bomb shelter.
>>44938I swear, some of those screencaps make the anime really tempting, but I'm fairly sure if I tried to watch a 50 hour JRPG crammed into 8 episodes I'd just come out pissed off. Is it worth it?
>>45013Can't really help you there, since that was from an omake...
