Real Drive (RD Sennou Chosashitsu )

[solomon]

Wow doesn't seem like too many various posters on this show (although thats to be expected i guess)


I am VAAAREEEEEEEEEYYYY late in comming to this show. I watched ep 1 long ago, but didn't know how to deal with it at the time so I dropped it (was way back when it premiered)

Now I took a dive (so to speak) into ep 1 and like it a lot. According to a blog I read though, I shouldn't be expecting anything like GITS:SAC though, it seems very different in character for a densley detailed SF show, but I think that's why I like it.

[solomon]

btw: I don't ever indulge in fanboying like this but

I like them female character designs

[skaarji]

any news about the "The-Metal subs" releases?
I need more episodes

[ragnarokr]

The show is not as hard as a "GITS" but has its good points.

I've also followed RD until episode 13 subbed by "The Metal" (later episodes) and in these later episodes, the director chooses to explore that futuristic world and the direct effects on the individual rather than establishing a straight plot around the lead characters.

Hopefully and fortunately they'll eventually develop a plot in the final episodes, but that future doesn't seems anywhere near, judging for the fanbase and the success the anime's having in this community.

I'm still a bit confused about this series. I have watched episode 1 and 2 so far, it started off with the guy diving in the ocean, but then they show them playing around with some computer thing, is this a cyber world in their mind or is this in the ocean? It really doesn't make sense to me at all, the animation is excellent and I'm still trying to consider if i'll watch episode 3 or not.

don't get me wrong and all, i'll take some anime girls with meat on their bones, call me a chubby chaser but I don't think that's enough to keep me interested in a show unless I get an idea what's going on.

[Molenir]

chubby chaser. lol Ok, that was just funny. I wouldn't say that anyway. I like that the show shows girls with a bit more realistic proportions, rather then the typical idealized anime girls. It makes a nice change from the usual. And since they're still all attractive, I don't have a problem with them anyway.

Glad Ureshii has been releasing a bunch recently. I'd really like to catch the rest of this series. Please keep up the great work.

hmm actually the designs are on the Opposite of the spectrum, but notice that it is only the main characters that are chubby! there are a lot of skinny women around.

The Metal just released a ep not too long ago.

I'm glad to see Ureshii subbing too, hopefully that'll mean even if one slows down the episodes will be subbed a little more consistantly. But with the density of the dialogue in this series I'm fully expecting it to take a while before it's done. Quality before Quantity

I'll tell you what. Ureshii-saizen replaced the translator, and editor on RD, and things got much faster. Current translator translates 1-2 eps a week, normally 1 per week, so yeah, you'll have constant releases, although not as fast as last couple ones.

[SageGaiGar]

I'm in heaven now with Episode 16 translated. Excellent progress.

[kilroy0097]

Spoiler for Ep 16:

So just curious, were those actually tears that Holon was crying when she screamed out Souta's name? I mean she shouldn't have cried them if she didn't have some kind of emotional tie. So does that mean that the one line of code that was referenced earlier in the episode has been altered in her? Hmmm. I wonder. Oh well, at least he's getting it on with the President or whoever the lady is that the android's body is based upon. I really like this anime series. Quite different and unique in it's own way.

It looks like Ureshii has released episodes 17, 18, and 19.

Do you mean Ureshii and Saizen?

[Molenir]

lol, don't read anything into that. If it was Saizen and Ureshii, everyone would probably refer to them as Saizen. Looking forward to more episodes.

[ZEFI]

RD 20 is outt~ And.. I don't understand what's going on.. @@;
Was that man Kushima?

[Megrim27]

Yeah, that man was Kushima. Apparantly he was having his artificial body maintained/repaired, so during that process, his brain was transferred over to another artificial body. The body he was using appears to be one he had made for Haru. I have to say the shot where you see Kushima's face tilted forward was rather creepy hehe.

[strategos]

does the Ureshi & saizen xvid version fits in one dvd?

[Molenir]

Finally getting around to watching this again after a long hiatus. I simply couldn't stand waiting for the episodes. Glad its complete and I can watch the whole thing now.

Rewatching from the beginning and just finished watching Episode 9. Seeing that girl with Sota was kind of creepy. Like an earlier poster mentioned, I was thinking she was Sota and Minamo's Mom. So seeing them in bed like that... Moving on to episode 10!

Why don't you try and check it out for yourself?

[karasuma]

Had to say this. The most chubby class of anime I have ever seen..
