I wonder if they'll revisit the Toosu-men/Barbarians. The magic used there was eerily similar.

I think a relationship between Vamirio and Helck is also almost physically impossible, so Alicia, who is the size of a normal human, is probably a better fit.

i think the demon sword azudora has looks just like the hero slayer sword alicia has. the crossguard is the same. i bet azudora gave it to alicia's grandpa or something, and then he became peaceful azudora

It makes sense since there's no reason why humans would've developed a sword to slay heroes.

I wonder if the new sword Helck got from the shadow warrior will come in handy.

In the case of anime shows about manga adaptions I think you just shouldn't discuss the comic at all.

Or the light novel. :troll:

My belief is that Helck will probably have a bitter sweet but still very uplifting ending. It'll be both sad and beautiful. :cry:

Or if could just be one big happy ending and I'd be fine with that too but I'm predicting the former.

I wonder if Helck's author planned all that out when he was doing the initial silly stuff, or if he just to go for the grim downfall of humanity stuff partway through.

My favorite anime Gunbuster started out with robots doing trapese and push-ups. Three episodes later it seems like humanity is doomed and by the final episode I was bawling like a baby.

I think it was planned. It's cool to surprise your audience.

Pretty sure it wasn't, since Anno said he and the team behind it just did whatever seemed fun and cool at the time and put it in for the hell of it, hoping it'd all work out.

Ah I didn't know. My understanding was there was a complete script bouncing around in limbo before Anno got ahold of it but I have no clue how much it changed after that. Apparently it "moved him to tears" so I assumed that the more serious and emotional things that happen later were there early on.

Either way I feel like it was planned with Helck.

I have no proof of this, but the way they're talking in the episode 5 preview makes me think Gunbuster was originally intended to end on episode 4.

Which was pretty emotional and some pretty serious stuff had happened by then.

From what I remember of Aim for the Ace! Gunbuster basically leaves parody mode and becomes it's own thing after episode one. At least until you find out who's sick and dying in ep 5 but it's played completely straight at that point.

Well I could be wrong. I'm just going off what I've heard, since I never cared enough to look it up, being one of those peons that wasn't all that wowed with Gunbuster (beyond the ending). I could simply have heard wrong.

That's OK.

Anyway, I can't wait for the next chapter. Reading it on my tab at lunch yesterday was really cool. XD

Jeungs character and arc are also present in aim for the ace. Episode 1 is directly referential but afterwards a lot of stuff is still taking from ace.

Yeah Ace takes a backseat and it basically shifts from parody to being referential by that point.

Eh I really don't feel like it was a slap dash. Sure Jung doesn't get much character development but I don't really think her development was at all necessary. Sure Iceman is there just to die and to contribute to Noriko's PTSD but that's not really bad or anything. As long as everything works toward whatever goal your trying to accomplish I think it's fine to have b characters that don't get much development especially when you only have six episodes.

Anyway I gotta eat.
