Something interesting I just realized...Avenger has many similarities to Iria.
Layla is like a more consistantly pissed off version of Iria. Similar hair colors and styles. The hand-held combat weapons and style she uses is eerily similar to Gren's when he's fighting Zeiram. The blonde haired fighter whom Layla beat and is still observing her from time to time appears almost exactly like Gren himself. Volk is a big, practically unpenetrable opponent with raw power and thus when Layla fights him, I'm reminded of when Iria fights Zeiram. Of course, there are so many anime out there that coincidences are bound to occur...but having just rewatched Iria...its kinda creepy how much of the character style the two shows share. |

some people just don't know good anime when they see it. People are complaining about the music? it's a little different but very beautiful- I listen to the OST all the time. The action choreography is incredible and the characters (atleast near the end of the series) are intriguing. I'll admit that the series took a while to take off, but it is otherwise a top notch series!

I don't know... People seem to be "bored" because of the directing techniques (like those eyeshots)... I however find it interesting. It's something that's not often done in anime after all.
That's why people are such hypocrites... They complain when an anime is not original enough but when the shows do something new and different (the unorthodox background music included) they just keep complaining.

I've seen a couple of episodes of avenger now and my first impression is this
Animation : beautiful sceneries and well drawn characters Story : too early to tell, there isn't much going on so far, hoping it get's cleare up later on Music : a real DISASTER : the music itself is not that bad (not great either) but it is completely out of place. Playing violins during battle scenes? For me the music in the anime really screws the atmophere created by the animation (that's why I watch avenger with sounds as low as possible, otherwise it gets annoying) Characters : again a bit too early to tell (not seen many episodes yet) but so far it looks like there's more to the characters that that which is shown on the surface So I will continue to watch hoping the story gets more clear (and the music gets less annoying), for now it looks like an average anime to me, not bad but not great either... |

Avenger 13 - final *Spoilers*
Ok WTF I thought Avenger was at least 24-26 episodes long why only 13, this was a big surprise for me. I'm really pissed.
As for the final episode, all I can say is WTF. She defeats Volk then just leaves everyone behind including her beloved Nei. I'm so f****** disappointed. Also what about the future of Mars, isn't the Red moon about to collide with it, what about that. So many loose ends here. Oh yeah Layla laughs for the first time, that was shocking. WTH was that about, lol maybe I should watch the whole episode again or maybe not.

I quit watching it 15 min into it. It was that bad. For someone who watches almost everything... WTF is an understatement. No wonder SAi-Cg, etc took a long time to FS it. They probably could not watch it far enough to complete it. It was too painful.

Yeah what the heck is that? Does Nei being multigendered freak Layla so much that she laughed or something? I have no idea....
EDIT: OK, watch the latter half of the episode again... I guess why Layla reacted like that was because of the revelation that all the problems that the people have were supposedly all her fault... (how did that happen though?) And I guess with Nei being the savior she didn't want to be there anymore or something... But still it's a mess (though I can't decide if we're supposed to figure out a meaning to this ending or if the ending is just BAD).
