25 Episode TV series (1999) The first episode of this series has been digisubbed for the second time, and I am looking forward to seeing more of it - just like last time ^_^;;; The show certainly had a few things to recommend it to anime fans ca. 1999 - very nice OP and ED songs from Masami Okui, Megumi Hayashibara in an important role, space battles, videogames and a gaggle of cute girls. The character design was a nice update from the preceding two OAV series (licensed by ADV for quite awhile now). Although the story is a fairly anemic adventure plot (schoolgirls in oddly bloodless space combat), a certain gimmick involved in recruiting them isn't bad. And lots of similar shows don't rely so much on action as on character. Last edited by babbito2k; 2004-10-08 at 20:28. |

All I could say is....thumb's up for the OP and ED song by Okui Masami, two thumbs up for the great casts of seiyuu for the characters....as for the plot.....still can't tell much and it's still a little bit confused after watching only 1 episode....
I'm guessing those 'space battles' are not actually 'wars', but more like 'competition battles', which is kinda similar to Angelic Layer's plot may be.....? Another thing is the the art style for the characters is a bit.....don't know exactly how to describe it.....the characters are not quite 'kakoii or moe' enough....the character design seem ok, but I just think may be the drawing can be done even better...... May be that's because I've been watching way too much new animes lately, making the older animes's artwork looking not as good =.= Last edited by Marine-RX179; 2004-08-07 at 18:00. |

For story, character design, acting, concept, direction and art, the TV series is superior in almost every way to the OVA. It still amazes me that the 'follow up' TV show was so much better. Animation is about the only area in which the OVA beats the show. The low budget is pretty obvious from time to time. Quote:
BTW, I didn't compare the entire episode, but... for the OP song at least, and the first few minutes it looked like you guys were using the same translation as the old VHS fansubs that have been around for ages. I don't know who did them, since they are from back in the day before people added their own credits to a fansub, but if it is the case, I hope due credit is given. |

We, of course, had an editor look at the scripts and checked the translations, there were some minor mistakes wich were fixed. If you didn't notice, we gave credits for translations to Delmo Operations in the OP. And, these scripts were given to us by the lead guy from DO. Thanks fly out to him aswell ^_^ |

What mistakes I could notice were technical in nature. The spirit of any given line remained intact. Iwas a total newb when I first watched them, so it's hard to say for sure. Looking back, that's actually how I've come to prefer my translations, favoring the spirit or readability of a line rather than a pure technical translation.
Anyhow, it's great that they're getting credit for their work. I'll look forward to your releases from here on out. It's great to finally see a clean copy. |

I'm really quite glad that this series is being subbed -- i managed to get my hands on some raws a couple of years ago and i haven't forgot it since. I'm really excited to see this series to the end (i hear the end is the best part, anyhow.. ^^).
Many thanks to Aoi. |
