Wow. Sometimes, I just love to see a 18+ title reviewed, usually because if it's reviewed, then there was something quite damn wrong with it. I love the way you put the wording of the relationships. Heh. When a hentai tries to have an indepth storyline, it simply means more people get laid. =P
And the Demon Lord Dante? That just sounds like blasphemy. =P. |

Even if GONZO or ADV fixed the Engrish on the first episode, who cares? Gravion sucks. I just hope ADV doesn't license Shinkon Gattai Godannar any time soon, as it's just as lame. |

On a side note, why is it really hard to convince others to watch Figure 17? I rented it last month and immediately got hooked on it. Since then, I've reviewed it on other sites, yet I got 0 replies.
It's sad how fans don't know good anime when they see one. |

It's weird, before yesterday I had never even heard of the show, yet it's supposed to be sooo good. What gives? |

Because Media Blasters didn't promote the series properly. If Bandai Entertainment licensed it, that would be a different story. |

Yeah, pretty much. Until the first time I saw the disc in the store, I had no clue what Figure 17 was. Not much of Media Blaster's releases get much promotion. No banners, no full-page ads, no convention dealer room towers... it's the downside of having a smaller company. Still, they should really consider investing more into advertising their products.

Maybe if they spent less money on porn (kitty). =/ Really though. Once, I entered a store, and I saw an entire shelf (and it wasn't high up either.) dedicated to media blaster's (kitty) hentai and such. Sometimes, I forget what they've even done before other than the horny stuff. sigh. =/ |

While I agree with the Media Blasters comments, I also suspect there is more to it. This is a show that has a plot that, no matter how hard you descibe it doesn't sound quite like anything else. On the surface, a spoiler[a shy ten year old girl, her alien clone, going to school and fighting alien killer plants in deepest darkest Hokkaido] seems like a risky purchase to some people and "dorky" to others. Kino's Journey from last week's collum seems to be having the same problem. Also, Figure 17 is one of a group of shows (Neo Ranga, Steel Angel Kurumi) that have been experimenting with episode length. In this case, the show has 50 minute episodes but typically two episodes a disk. Someone used to 24 minute episodes hears that there is only two episodes per disk thinks of better ways to spend $24.99. Personally, I have disks one though four and though I thought the first disk was a little slow (that doesn't help either) I highly recomend the series. The end of disk four was an absoultely evil cliffhanger spoiler[and a very rude thing to do to poor Tsubasa-chan.] All the best, Nani? |
