Has anyone seen Pilot Candidate (aka Candidate for Goddess) back when it was on Adult Swim? Back in the times when Adult Swim was only on Saturdays and Inuyasha fangirls did not exist.
Now some Spoliers.
The ending..... sucked badly. Just when it seemed that the plot was going to make a damned good upswing, it ended. And in all honesty, the ending was a cop out.
Now an OVA was made, when I found it animesuki a while ago, I was like a pig in shit. I was happy. I downloaded it and I watched it.
I was disappointed with it. It told the past of the pilot who died a few episodes before. I was expecting some sort of closure and was disappointed.
I really enjoyed the series but this kind of ruined it for me. |

The problem with Candidate for Goddess is the same problem that Trigun has - namely, they only animated a portion of the manga, so the story pretty much hits a large brick wall. I would advise going and buying the CfG manga, which goes on (the next portion is the competition to become First Cadet.) _________________ Proud creator of the Wikipedia RX-78 mobile suit series article.

And your point is?
It was on AS/Toomami 3-4 years ago, I stayed up to watch it because it had fanservice(and a somewhat decent story). Don't come here bitching about your disappointment with a series that aired half of the episodes(How many where made, it seemed like they only showed half) in a late night slow used as filler for the slow before the AS/Toonami rerun of the block.

only 13 where made so it would seem like they only aired half the series. |

Actually, they aired all the episodes. The series was a big disappointment (even in Japan), so it was cancelled quickly. _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015 |

I should take a stab at this guy... I mean, I'm the one who created the pointless thread about a craptastic show on the wrong forum. |

Posting your oppinions here is a form of blogging. It just requires more feedback, is all. So, Ixidor, by posting any opinions here, that's semi-blogging. How does that make you feel? _________________ anime is teh s uck

Look, I created a thread in the Adult Swim forum about a show that was on Adult Swim. I wrote what I thought about the show. If you don't like what I posted or you are against the opinion I posted then don't look at the thread.
Simple as that. |

It was aired on Toonami and not Adult Swim. Adult Swim was still reserved for the weekdays for showing ATHF,Sealab, and other suck such as Harvey Birdman.

Pilot Candidate aired on the original Adult Swim Action Saturday. This was back before Adult Swim was on weeknights.

Pilot Candidate never aired on Toonami in the US, even though that's where it should have went. _________________ "Robots don't say 'ye'."

I admit defeat. Even though I still disagree with that. _________________ -Ixidor |
