IGPX reminds me a lot of Zoids: Zero. From the scatterbrained team owner to the tough chick to the main character that's laid back yet skilled. And the animation style reminds me of .hack//sign.
me too, except the mecha is good animation rather than cel shaded CG. Also the animation style distinctly looks like zoids... _________________ The only truth that realy exists is the truth within the mind of the individual and the way the individual sees the world...

Geese, am I the only one that likes cel shading here? When it's done right (as in Zoids: Zero) it is SUPER COOL.
Back to IGPX, however, there were many elements left unresolved. And it was super super cool. I hope the can make it into a series. I won't hold my breath, but it was superfantastic.
And I liked how they used old Toonami music for the closing credits. That was a nice throwback. _________________ anime is teh s uck

It was good. Too shortm but good. Who knows? Maybe it will see the light of day as a show on Toonami (like Big O, stupid Time Warner putting it on AS when it should be on Toonami).

definetely a good show, and well set up to be continued. i seriously hope they do
Btw, CP I didn't say I didn't like cel shading, just that sometimes true animation is better _________________ The only truth that realy exists is the truth within the mind of the individual and the way the individual sees the world...

Of course true animation is sometimes better. But other methods are good in order to convey certain feelings and ideas. Take South Park. I contend that South Park has GOOD animation, because the style REALLY fits the show and is unique. In the same way, the cel shading fits Zoids: Zero in that it made their motions look much more smooth and fluid. The new Spiderman on MTV (did they cancel it already?) had CRAPPY cel shading. It was horrible. They did it all wrong. (There was much too much contrast and the movements weren't natural and basically everything EXCEPT for Spiderman himself looked and moved like crap. And even then Spiderman had that weird white outline . . . ick)
Point? The style of animation is only good if it helps to convey the point of the plot. _________________ anime is teh s uck

Big O WAS on Toonami before.
...and it should never be on that block again. _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

Why not put it back on Toonami? Its an action animated series. I think it fits the toonami block very well. In a lot of ways its like having Outlaw Star on toonami. I dont see why you think it wouldnt fit.
I have ranted on Toonamis ever changing style before. The reason i used to watch toonami. Is now the reason i watch a lot of the anime on AS. It was 3 hours of anime. I can see where Bebop and Trigun, although trigun was considered for toonami, shouldn't be on Toonami. Oh well I have been down this road before trying to defend anime on Toonami. I'll lose this argument like the others

better late than never, right?
i was initially disappointed in friday's episode, because i wasn't expecting the cliffhanger ending, but after watching all five episodes again, it does make sense...i enjoyed takashi's ninja imitation (and the ninja turtles reference didn't hurt either), though with how easy he sliced through two sledge mamma's, you'd think he woulda pulled his ace earlier in the fight...
overall, i really enjoyed igpx, though it was the oddly the backstage stuff that pulled me in more than the actual fighting...i think that alone is proof of this being a viable series if it ever does happen...
hopefully this did good things for toonami's ratings... _________________ "Life's a journey, not a destination..." -Aerosmith ('Amazing')

Plain and simple, it doesn't fit on the block. People who saw Big O on Toonami back in 2001 would probably know what I'm talking about. It just didn't feel...right...on that block.
Sure, the edits were minor and didn't really effect anything in the story (i.e. blood, religious references, etc.), but those edits gave viewers a weird "vibe" when they were watching it. Don't ask why, they just did.
Also, Big O aired on Toonami months before Adult Swim existed, but we knew from the various reports on Anime News Network, Anime News Service, etc. etc. that it was going to exist 5 months from then. As soon as Big O debuted on Toonami, we could apparently tell that the show was indeed intended for adults, and the series would be a lot better if it aired on that block and without edits, so we could safely watch the series without feeling that freaky vibe haunting us.
I speak from experience. Trust me, you wouldn't like Big O on Toonami. If you didn't see it during its Toonami run, then you dodged a bullet two years ago.
...one more thing: Would you want to see the best line in the whole series changed to "Cast in the name of GOOD, ye not guilty"? It just sounded so...childish and stupid. >_< _________________ Toonami visual schedule - UPDATED AUGUST 2, 2015

The edits were stupid. And I did see it 2 years ago. Its what got me interested in the show. But Gundam Wing had the same dumb edits as Big O. And that show is considered more what a toonami show is supposed to be right?
Remember the Wing midnite runs to show the unedited version? The biggest change was the use of the word God. And if you dont remember were. Its Duo's "I am the God of Death" references. And now im finding out that CN removed Gundam Wings actual ending as well. In both the edited 5 o'clock and midnite versions.
What about DBZ? A toonami staple until now. 20% of that show is removed for american airing. And we have never once been offered overnight uneditied versions. When I saw SVES was showing DBZ. I thought it was going to show them. No it takes renting them from Netflix to see what they thought was unfit for americans. SVES is just showing the same old shows in their same old version. But you have to admit. Taking HELL and making HFIL was a stroke of genius. It is a funny joke.
Its their channel. They are allowed to do what they want. But sometimes they assume we americans are god fearing idiots who are afraid of blood (see Batman Beyond for the digital removal of blood). But its the only source for this type of show on a consistent basis. So I watch. And if I really want to know what the full versions like. I just rent it from Netflix and sit through a second viewing.
As for "Cast in the name of Good". You could even see it was badly edited in. But if the choice is not see the show at all. Or put up with stupid edits. I'll take the stupid edits thank you. Besides in Season 1 the idea behind the Deuces as gods wasnt really explored. So it wasnt such a hinderence.
Last thing if you want to get into a stupid editing discussion. Talk about "Batman Beyond Return of the Joker" for its theatrical release. Not its TV release. I saw it before it was in theatres. It was a japanese subtitled version. And even this was on a tiny real player screeen. And I couldnt watch the new version because of all the changes. Watering down a good movie for adults and making it marketable to kids. Thats why when Return of the Joker came out on DVD in its unedited version. I jumped on it and bought it. I was disappointed that in the, otherwise excellent, running commentary. Not one mention was made of this. The changes made to water it down were huge. And it helped to kill the show being aimed at adults. How do you take the main plot point, which if you havent seen it involves the end of the joker, and make it so so weak?!!

Actually, there were several references as to what the WB honchos wouldn't allow.
And I don't remember any theatrical release for ROTJ. It was supposed to be D-T-V. _________________ "When I became a man, I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."- C.S. Lewis
