"Sentan Island is a small island surrounded by the Yuden Sea. It exists in a state of dreamlike tranquility, cut off from the war between the Northern Government and the Southern Continent Free Zone. Our hero, Akiyuki Takehara, lives on Sentain Island along with his mother Fusa. He is currently separated from his father, the town doctor Ryuzo, but the bond between father and son remains. One day, after taking Ryuzo the lunch that Fusa has made for him as usual, Akiyuki arrives at school, where he is caught up in an explosion along with his friends, Haru and Furuichi. The explosion produces a mysterious light, which enters Akiyuki's arm, causing him excruciating pain. He's given no time to understand it, however, as the white-haired girl who rode on the bus with him guides him to a power unlike anything he's ever known." (from animefreak.tv summary)

Anyone else here watch/have watched it?
I'm sorta curious to know as I haven't met anyone else who watches Xam'd. Its pretty interesting and the art is great so I'm rather surprised that not many I know have watched it.

wait... there WASN'T a thread for this? ARE U PEOPLE INSANE?? THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SERIES I'VE WATCHED!!!!! LOVE IT <3~ and i love the opening song~

>>2 so much needless caps...

I've been meaning to check this out for a while now actually.

Just watched the first three eps...kinda interesting.
And yeah, the opening is pretty cool, one of the few that I don't mind watching over and over.

The opening is good. Its probably one of the only ones I watch every episode.

Man, the opening is so good! I have it right now as my text ringtone :D

>>1 I'm not surprised in the slightest that you haven't run into many people who've seen it. Xam'd premiered on PSN for God's sake.
Which is both surprising, considering how high budget the series appears to be; (or maybe that's just Bones working some magic ;3) and really too bad, because I thought it was fantastic. My opinion may not carry much weight considering my favorite anime is E7, my favorite anime-movie/movie (apparently there's a difference) is Princess Mononoke and the series is in many ways a cross between the two. Great series though. picture time

Alright, Finally started this series. I just finished episode one, I guess what finally jolted me to start this series was Hart's post lol... But I'm digging it so far, since the animation is the same as Eureka 7 i was drawn to it right off the bat, and so far it kinda reminds me of it too. Lookin forward to the rest. I'll post again after i finish it.

Sorry about the necro posting, but I just finished this, and it left me very confused about somethings.Like the whole 'cult' thing at the end. Why were they there to die?

*SPOILER FOR OTHERS*




















































Sorry for the necro, but I also don't exactly know why they were there. I think it had something to do with the Emperor. If he didn't eat them up, I guess he'd go eating the world. It left a lot unanswered. If they really wanted to, they could do a second season of it.

Hell, where Nakiami got sealed away for 1,000, they could do it where the seal broke away earlier than expected and the original characters can meet up. Won't happen, but it's left open.

I started watching this show... Then I got to episode 10 and realized how boring it was. Although the action scenes were pretty dang good.

>>12

If you can't go passed 10 episodes just to get to the more action packed episodes, then there is something seriously wrong, here. It gets a lot better and faster after those episodes.

>>13
Haha, I just finished the show. I think I cried... Some of the stuff just made me to mad to watch so I stopped at 10. The show was amazing nonetheless.

5 episodes in now. The E7 vibes are so strong. My nostalgia for that is kind of preventing me from rating this accurately but I'd argue this is technically better so far. I'm a sucker for this kind of traveling-ship story with military forces and different factions and shit and blah yes etc.

also dat OP

and cairn stfu bro
I know what's coming
you don't even have to say it
lol

this show is like the definition of perfect pacing.

also dat score holy shit. Gets me every time.

>>15
also what was that even about? I was never in this thread, lol.

>>17
the constant nagging you had been giving me up until the point I started watching it. lol

>>18
Oh, hah.

Well it was justified.
