[Thaisub]Suisei no Gargantia OP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3HdXBoOg_A#ws)
The story begins in the distant future in the far reaches of the galaxy. The Human Galactic Alliance has been constantly fighting for its survival against a grotesque race of beings called "Hidiaazu." During an intense battle, the young lieutenant Redo and his humanoid mobile weapon Chamber are swallowed up into a distortion of time and space. Waking from his artificially induced hibernation, Redo realizes that he has arrived on Earth, the planet on the lost frontier. On this planet that was completely flooded by the seas, people live in fleets of giant ships, salvaging relics from the seas' depths in order to survive. Redo arrives on one of the fleets called Gargantia. With no knowledge of the planet's history or culture, he is forced to live alongside Amy, a 15-year-old girl who serves as a messenger aboard the Gargantia fleet. To Redo, who has lived a life where he knows nothing but fighting, these days of peace continue to surprise him.

is anyone else watching this anime? i highly recommend it. so far it's turning out to be a great story. excellent animation, stunning backgrounds, great character designs. i have this feeling that it is going to turn out very sad though.

mite b cool
Having read the wiki synopsis and watched the first 5 finutes, my immediate assumption is that the humans of Avalon are going to try and reclaim Earth and kill all the "primitives" living there, and our heroes will be caught in the middle. This kid has been serving in the military from birth and only gets 4 weeks of freedom? What?

this is plausible , but there are also two other possibilities i think. first is [spoiler]Ledo has to choose between going back to GA or staying on Gargantia[/spoiler] or [spoiler]Ledo unwittingly brings the attention of life on Earth to the conflict in space between GA and the aliens or w/e, and gets them mixed up in it[/spoiler]
i could be totally wrong though. i also don't think we've seen the last of [spoiler]lobster lesbian pirate trio[/spoiler]
[spoiler]Yep, my guess is that the GA will find out where he is, come back to get him and/or retake Earth, and Ledo with will side with Earth instead of them.... and then probably get killed or something and save the day[/spoiler]

Oh my...
ok looks like it's high time I started watching this
(https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebackalleys.com%2Fdump%2Ffiles%2F2716%2F905N2h_1369046964485.gif&hash=4ec842a4650a97e22dfe465363e0660329774ec8)
Wow. Honestly didn't see today's plot twist coming, but in retrospect it makes sense. Glad I my predictions were wrong, but now I wonder how they'll resolve it.
Seems pretty cool. When I got the time, I'll give it a gander.
[spoiler]Anyone else still following this? Ledo's old commander apparently ended up on Earth too and set himself up as a sort of god king. I'm kind of freaking out because I'm worried shit will hit the fan and people are gonna get massacred.[/spoiler]
please use the spoiler tag in the future -rtil
hey now don't spoil it, but yeah I still am.
Anyways, I'm liking the general direction this anime has taken, especially compared to our earlier predictions
[spoiler] Honestly I found the ending to be a little.. underwhelming, like they just chose to play it safe, especially after such an awesome build up. If they were to go with that route, I would rather have just had the final battle shortened, and a bit more closure on what happens afterwards
. I think they should have killed off at least one more character, or done something more drastic to make it more memorable. Oh well, still a pretty solid series overall. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]just killing off more characters wouldn't have made the ending any better. the point of the ending was that chamber finally understood what ledo had come to realize by living on gargantia with amy. he decided the best course of action was to sacrifice himself in order for ledo to live on and carry out his mission, and that he didn't need chamber for his purposes anymore. it wasn't delivered perfectly, but i did like it.[/spoiler]
but it's not quite over yet, there is some sort of OVA coming out this season - possibly even this saturday.
OVA preview - coming august 28th

Does this take place before or after episode 13? It really looks like it's mid-series for some reason.
since he has his translator i'm guessing it takes place some time in the middle
OVA #1 is here: http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=471625 (http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=471625)
OVA #2 is out. It's...pretty dark. This is much more the tone I was expecting the series to take as a whole, not that I minded the cheerfulness of the main series.
shit.. i'll be sure to prepare myself.
i was gonna watch it today but i didn't get around to it. looking forward to it, though.

Classic Gen Urobuchi.
ep 15 was pretty weak. everything felt really rushed and forced, and it didn't come across very clearly that Kugel became the way he did because of [spoiler]Linaria's death and her last words[/spoiler]. i mean, i got the message of it all, but i just wasn't feeling it.
it's a good thing this isn't the last piece of Gargantia we're ever going to get, because it would be a real disappointing note to end on.
