They sort of trade places, a la Captain Marvel except they can both see what the other is doing and talk telepathicly with one another.

Well I'm glad I decided to take a look at this. I'll just generally nod in agreement with everything that's already been said. It looks like this series has potential to be a real winner.

UPR · 2008-07-06, 13:22

ohhh loved ep 1 been waiting for this to come out for a while now. Maybe now birdy can help with the guys romantic life as seeing he doesn't have one

Zelda1 · 2008-07-06, 14:45

I loved the old Birdy OAV and this one is well on track to be as good or better. Especially with an awesome Gomez! (one of the best badasses in anime) The animation is terrific and Senkawa is an interesting variation on the typical "average kid way out of his league" type that is way too common in anime, and of course, Birdy rocks...

molitar · 2008-07-06, 19:37

Awesome remake! I really enjoyed this Birdy the Mighty! Hurry for Birdy! Though I like the font type better by I-Z I find that Tadashi & wyvern isn't lazy and has also subbed the songs so I am watching that version myself.

I'm new to Birdy so I have to ask. What's an Altic? Why is Birdy's hair multicolored in a strange way?

If I'm assuming right, Altic = Altarian = People of Alta

The manga uses two terms to describe Birdy's alien species, aruta-jin or arutekusu. The former would be Altarian (the word they use in the show and how I translated it) and the other one would be Altic (I assume Tadashi/wyvern used this one, I haven't seen their work). You only hear Aruta-jin in the first ep although you may hear arutekusu later into the series.

I went with Altarian simply because the characters refer to them as Aruta-jin. Probably would've went Altic (although I would've spelled it as Altec) if they had said it.

There's another term they use in the episode, Ikushiora aruta-jin (I translated it as Ixciora Altarian), as well. It simply means an Altarian that looks human on the outside but has enormous physical prowess and abilities such as Birdy. There's another type of Altarian in the manga but I'm not sure if they'll bring it up in the TV series.

Thanks Shouta. So Birdy's hair coloration is a species thing?

Then is Tuto and that old women in ep. 1 Altarian too?

Tute (my spelling since it's spelled the same as Lute in JP) is a robot called a Marker and Birdy's partner. The old woman is also an Altarian. As I recall, the hair coloration is a mark of species or something similar to that but I think Birdy's hair is a bit unique at any rate.

technomo12 · 2008-07-06, 21:53

ARGH MAN I WISH THIS WAS ON CRUNCHYROLL!!!!!!!!

still i have the original cds of the OVA that must have been like 3 yrs ago

lavarock · 2008-07-06, 22:17

Ｉ have been reading Bridy the Mighty manga (2003 ver.), and it's fantastic. It is seriously the best manga I have read in years.
Too bad it seems this show is not based on the manga but original story?

orion · 2008-07-06, 22:18

Thanks again Shouta.

This is prob OT. Why can't you download it technomo12?

After AX? If this was up there, Nguyen and the VCs would have major hissy fits.

technomo12 · 2008-07-06, 23:21

T_T

darn it suck to be a 3rd class family

Guardian Enzo · 2008-07-06, 23:22

Opening ep was class all the way. Visuals stunning - very Noein-y. Terrific ED. Fine voice work. Not sure why Birdy's assistant is a gay octopus and the plot is still a cipher at this point, but a cut above most of the other premieres this summer.

Shouta · 2008-07-06, 23:30

Tute's actually more reminiscent of a jellyfish. =x

dont think hes actually gay more as its just his "show" for his earth life. Much like birdy posing as an idol even though she doesn't seem to like it

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	Spoiler for Ep1: Thought it was a good start to the series. Well Geega managed to escape since his ploy of using Tsutomu as a shield/distraction worked out. Certainly Birdy wasn't just going to continue the chase after accidentally taking down a civilian. Just an unfortunate incident that lead to a dire situation. Luckily this fusion did save the guys life. Even with the nice thing of repairing his eyesight. Liked the main characters so far. Birdy is plenty of fun especially when she's getting into her work . A ton of power and able to pound her way through most opposition. The cheap robots just didn't get the job done. Just some fun as well when she was getting chewed out by that Altarian. Tsutomu isn't a bad guy. Bit of an odd one going around into abandoned facilities and seems somewhat detached from his supposed friends. Maybe getting punched in half and the result will a positive impact on him. At the very least life is going to be a whole lot different in comparison to before. __________________ Anime-Evo
