Ga-rei Zero The Live commercials

The site's streaming them on the net. 5/3's a coming, folks.

Late to the party on this. I really enjoyed the first two and episodes, I just wished they didn't spend so much time doing the back story before concluding it. If they trimmed one or two flashback episodeds, they could have resolved the whole butterfly villain.

Not to mention the villain just seems too strong for anyone, except for Noriyuki, who might be able match butterflies with ferrets.

What is coming May 3rd?

Yu Ominae · 2009-04-18, 06:21

Some live show with some seiyus as guests. No further details yet.

miroku2192 · 2009-04-20, 20:13

So...is there any news of them doing some ovas or (HOPEFULLY THIS IS WHAT I WANT->) a SECOND SEASON :O!!!!!!

Nosauz · 2009-04-20, 20:23

really? the fanbase of ga rei zero will not really like ga rei. One is targeted at the guro yuri loving otaku while the latter is more generic shounen, and in reality the manga story just doesn't match the tone of zero, which is why I question them doing zero first and not the shounen first.

No. The live show's the only thing the Ga-rei creators have announced. May 3, 2009 in Shibuya.

Yu Ominae · 2009-04-21, 00:01

Gave a shot at the radio show (Latest one after the show ended) despite my semi-limited Japanese.

Seems like the people who mailed fan letters to Kaoru, Minoru and Minori are cosplaying Yomi. Pretty interesting.

Yu Ominae · 2009-04-22, 09:32

Here's a Natsuki-based motivational poster for you Tokusen 4 fans.

That about sums it up for me...I tried picking up the manga after watching and enjoying the anime and just...gah...no sorry dropped it after about 10ish chapters. Couldn't stand the stupidity of it whatsoever...My hats off to the anime crew for creating something entertaining out of that generic drek.

Altima of the Gates · 2009-04-25, 18:44

I don't agree at all. Let me put it to you this way.

I HATE (with a passion here) completely overblown melancholic stories, whose only purpose (in my mind)is to sting the viewer/reader as hard as it can with sobering pain with the cover of trying to delve into the human consciousness, explore the dark parts of society, blah, blah, blah (now I may be overreacting a bit, but this sounds like 70-80% of people who howl over shounen)....
But I can appreciate a story for what it is, but then again, I'm the type that goes for pretty much anything, and I take it from there.

The point is that a story can be good or bad whether its seinen or shounen. There are cliches in both. What matters is how the story is handled. "Typical shouenen fare" is a very wide brush you guys are using. It would help others to be more specific.

There would be NO Ga-Rei Zero without Ga-Rei, and I ask both anime watchers and manga readers to check out both and see where you fare from there. And to the posters here, let anyone coming in decide for themselves (though I know they will, a wave of bad reviews on the manga can influence others). The only thing cliche here is the 'typical shounen' spiel.

And if you make an argument about wasting your precious time, well, you're not really doing anything constructive with it, are you?

Kino karutta-chan · 2009-04-26, 08:50

It's so great, that Yomi is back in the manga ._.
You know, the only reason, why I am reading the manga is Yomi..

Yu Ominae · 2009-05-01, 02:15

Upcoming ad for the live show. Just two days (from where I am, Vancouver). A day away for those living in Japan and such...

Yu Ominae · 2009-05-10, 06:01

Ga-rei Zero Japanese site said to watch out for something soon and check back.

Probably going to announce something related to the franchise.

I hope it's an actually soundtrack release.

Yu Ominae · 2009-05-10, 06:24

Didn't they release one already?

They're being released with each limited edition release of the DVD's, i'm talking about an actually soundtrack release.

Yu Ominae · 2009-05-10, 06:32

Oh. Okay.

So far, nothing yet.

I do want the Tokusen 4 people to have an OVA/spin-off series. They've got some backstory involved with the SDCD.

Shiroth · 2009-05-10, 06:42

Yeah i wouldn't mind an OVA release. I guess that's the most possible release we'll see regarding this announcement.

Yu Ominae · 2009-05-10, 07:01

Yeah.

Well we can't discount other possibilities that the Ga-rei Zero team can announce.

Dammit! (Shakes fists at Ei Aoki!). Don't hide the announcement under the clout of secrecy!!
