Space Symphony Maetel
Hi folks,
Just wondering what everyone thinks of Maetel. This is Leiji Matsumoto goodness brought right in to the 21st Century. The animation whilst familiar is new and fresh. Eps 1 - 3 are out now on fansub and they certainly pack a lot in. If it carries on the way it does it WILL turn in to a classic. Make your comments known here ! Regards gumbaloom |

It's pretty good in terms of animation. You can tell that they re-did scenes from GE999. The graphics are as good as Railways.
I agree that they packed in quite a lot of material and it went quite fast. I look forward to viewing the rest of the series. ________ CB250 JADE Last edited by AnimeOni; 2011-03-05 at 12:10. |

GE 999 was one of the first anime I ever watched. Since then, I have loved every Leiji Matsumoto show I have seen. I just watched the first three episodes and I have to say that I thought that Space Symphony Maetel was absolutely awful.
It was poorly plotted and was stupidly executed. Maetel and the excellent animation just don't make up for this abomination. I can't complain about the reuse of old themes since all Leiji Matsumoto anime reuses those old themes, but this is the first time they have felt tired and worn out. I am simply very disappointed.

I don't see any better place to explain something about episode titles... You may (should) have noticed that each episode title has a word / phrase that's in quotations. These are actually taken from the titles of the classical musical pieces.
1. Departure of "Fate" - Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 2. Nazca's "Passion" - Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata (Not Bach's Passion Mass series) 3. The Night Before "Revolution" - Chopin's Piano Etude 4. "Rhapsody" in Gold - It could be any piece by name of Rhapsody... but I took my liberty to title it after Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue 5. Promethium's "Magic Flute" - Mozart's Opera, Magic Flute 6. Laurela(sp?)'s "Requiem" - Once again, any Requiem out there... (Mozart, Brahms, etc) 7. The Path to "My Homeland" - Smetana's My Homeland 8. "Funeral March" for Mother - Funeral March... 9. La Metal "Spring" - Vivaldi's concerto grosso "Spring" (from Four Seasons) (titles taken from http://www.ppvj.co.jp/anime/0410ssmaetel/index.phtml ) |

The Lightning "Titan": Mahler's Symphony No. 1 (Titan) 11. "Eroica" Leopard: Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 E flat, Op. 55 (Eroica Symphony)

I don't think that the creators were on drugs. The continuity is alittle off, but if you've watched Maetel Legend before this then it flows normally.
I think that alot of the interactions from this series, setups including the use of classical music continues from Maetel Legend and that its a good idea to see it before this. It prob shouldn't be compared to Galaxy Express 999.
