Watching a romcom "Touch" while the animation still bothers me, the show is kinda a love triangle between a twins and their neighborhood. The third wheel died in an accident too soon.
Captain Cadaver said:Tekkaman Blade - Up to episode 39. The plot has taken a good change of pace in the defeat of it's first part and shift from action to adventure. Character writing and development has taken a step up, though there are still useless characters like Rebin and Milly, as well as Tekkaman Lance being as much of wasted potential as Dagger. Also, there's a lot of unnecessary filler material that bogs it down.
It's good, though not sure about one of the best. I wouldn't say it's on par with the likes of Reinhard and Yang from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Joe and Rikiishi from Ashita no Joe, Amuro and Char from Gundam or Kenshiro and Raoh from HnK, but it's at least better than any other rivalry in 20th Century anime I can think of off-hand. Will have to wait until I finish it to fully judge that aspect though.Mr. Giraffe said:Skippable recaps aside, I think you have to agree the rivalry between Blade and Evil is one of the best rivalries in classic anime. :mikey :mikey
Still means he was barely a character in his own right and just a walking plot device.Also, Lance's role from the start was to be the Mecha Freeza for Blaster Mode Tekkaman
Watched Lain a few months back. It was quite a good, layered series with some very prophetic ideas about the internet, though it probably spent too much of it's focus on theme exploration over character development to make it excellent like Haibane.Kyo said:Have you given Lain or Texhnolyze the time of day yet?
