Neat anime. I like the concept, like the characters so far, like the "YOU MUST BEAT THE 8 GYM LEADERS TO GET TO THE POKEMON LEAGUE8 roads to the top" thing... but GOD DAMN, can it have any more fanservice? I'm watching it off of Comcast On-Demand. Episode 5 and the beginning of 6 was something I was not expecting to see.

Simka is such a slut. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Yeah, the fan service is pretty damn blatant, but the crows are there, right?

Other than that, I agree, awesome show.

The first epidsode in terms of fan service hooked me to the show. Though they only shown episode 1 and 2 on time warner. Guess I gotta use veoh >_>;

Are the crows there in the JP version? With the way they appear it looks like one of ADV's shitty "zomg clevar censur!!". If they still exist in JP I don't see why they bothered. With all the T&A it seems like a waste of the animator's time.

The crows are in the original I believe, but not in the manga, they just clevarly cover with arms or hair and the like.

I've seen the first 26 eps.

I really want to get into this, but like GTO I'll have to wait for the episodes to be put On Demand. I'd buy the mangas but I'm busy reading Death Note and I"s. Of course I could go with the alternatives but my computer hates long download times. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I watched it on YouTube up untill it was removed, I don't think Veoh has it yet. ._.

[PhotonDrop]

Do they ever introduce a goofy character that wears tons of safety gear? That would be awesome. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Not in the first 26, at least, Agito is fun though, with his F-carpet bombing and sheer brutality. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Straight Jacket Dude, right? I like how he executed that shinkuu tatsumaki senpuu kyaku in the intro, then smiles like its nothing. Whats with the straight jacket though?

I'd love to but I know as much about him as you do. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

It's funny though, his straight jacket is stylized, not the usual white deal. Also he has an eye patch.

[Weeaboolits]

Agito has a split personality, the other one is called Akito, and is a bit effeminate at times, pretty much the opposite of agito.

Agito fights with his arms bound, kicking and using the hooks attached to his pantlegs. One of my favorite of his lines was when he called Ikki a "Super fucking idiot". http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Edit: Also, his personality switches depending on which eye is covered.

ah, so that was the guy you kept posting when I came back. I wondered if it was him. might be shallow of me, but I might check it out on the basis of that one character being in it

[Weeaboolits]

He's actually an important character, he starts as an antagonist, but becomes one of the main characters.

Pretty much sums up the personalities:

hmm, his effiminite side looks like it will get his ass kicked

[Weeaboolits]

the Akito personality can't fight or skate well, I think something happens with the two later, but YouTube removed them before I got to see that resolved, worst timing too, it looked as if something really big was about to happen. :/

Akito was his original name, but he developed a split personality due primarily to the way his brother treated him and the things he made him do.

[Sord]

huh, sounds somewhat interesting. Not into back stories usually, I can say the same here. None the less, I'm loading the first ep on veoh right now.
