(L) Bonen no Xamdou (Xam'd: Lost Memories)

This is getting really, really old. Maybe you guys can take your PSN disgrunted whining crap to another thread in General Anime or something. Some of us just want to talk about the show.

It's likely you would have done the same if you were in our place...

It's pointless trying to talk with people like that mate, they're jappy in their own little bubble and don't consider the long term effect of actions such as this. Sony are about to learn the same lesson that Viz are learning, much to their cost.

But when it gets right down to it, it's the fans that lose out. But i can't be arsed to talk about it anymore. Sony are already having a hard time of it in europe, this simply just adds up the presure on them. Once the new XBox anime goes live next year PSN will fade into the back ground, much like the PS3 has

[Shiroth]

Can you people move this conversation into another topic please? We people watching the series want to actually talk about the series, not skip past people complaining. I thought we had past that already.

Episode 3 talk.....

Spoiler for 3:

looks like Nazuna is alive afterall. But then shortly after showing her one of the government people said the white haired girl died, so that was confusing. Was he lying or just talking about another white haired child, cause I believe they said several went and blew themselves up like Nazuna.

Spoiler for Episode 03:

Hmm, i didn't think the girl shown on the bed was Nazuna. I mean yeah she mentioned about Haru's Xam'd, though we don't know for sure yet if all the white haired girls are connected.

Though if she is alive, it's a good move for what could happen in the future.

Still, ah so confusing.

Spoiler for f:

I think the white-haired girl Haru saw was a dream... because there's no reason for Haru to be near, or in the same house, as a suspected terrorist.

Spoiler:

There are a few ways to view the scene and the one immediately after. It could be that she's being kept alive by someone else at the hospital, while they reported that she was dead to the military. Or Haru could simply have seen her at the hospital before she died. It's definitely unusual because at the end of ep1, Kakisu already stated that the girl involved in the bus bombing was reported dead.

By the way, I don't think the other white haired children are girls. In the opening scene from ep1, Nazuna seems to be the only girl among them. The rest are young boys...

Spoiler for Episode 03:

Yeah at the moment it's a very confusing scene. So much speculation for just Nazuna alone. Truthfully i don't know what to think of that scene in episode three, though it must be certain that she survived after what happened to her in the first episode --- that or there's something going on to do with Nazuna that hasn't been explained yet. I'm going with that.

Ah yes you're right. I should have rewatched that scene in the first episode before i made that post.

snipped...

The kids in E7 really grew to like Renton, so hopefully that's true of the little snot-nosed brat who punched Akiyuki. The girl wasn't that bad though.

[DragoonKain3]

Turn of events for me...

-watches eps 1, which I have left in my HDD for a long time since opening prologue was boring
-jaw-dropped at everything after the OP
-wants to see if a 1080p version is available
-looks at thread, says its on PSN, even though its a rental
-I have a PS3, and am willing to fork over 4$ an eps
-boots up PS3, but no go
-looks up thread why, and b/c I live outside of USA, I can't get it
-OMGWTFBBQ

Oh well, I guess I just have to support the series whenever it comes on DVD here. Hopefully Blu-ray version is available.

As for the show itself, Haru freaking rocks! Handing the soldier's ass back to him in eps 1 was awesome, and I hope more comes in the future. And so far so good in the romance department for Haru, as not only does she get the more renowned VA, but its only her name (not his best friend or his parents) that he mentions when reminiscing about his island. Hopefully it stays that way, but considering Namiaka's significant time in the OP/ED and the recent episodes, I think she's gonna give Haru a run for her money...

Exacatly, maybe it's best if they create a thread in the General Anime Discussion section about the issues they have with how Xam'd is being released instead of constantly bitching/whiny in this thread. The OP title in Xam'd says it best "Shut up and Explode".

Spoiler for ep 3:

I could have sworn it was the same voice actor and it looked like Nazuna to me. Already deleted it off my PC so I can't double check.

[Tiamat's Disciple]

it hasnt yet, they're in talks with funi and adv, all that was said was that it was planned for summer 09.

Spoiler for Episode 03:

Looking at the character more, and keeping in mind that all the other children with white hair are male --- the one shown in episode three has to be Nazuna.

Though that just opens up a big pile of new questions.

Spoiler:

Pretty sure that they said that she died shortly after.

[MrProphet]

Was I the only one who thought "Oh, hey, Shadow of the Colossus" during episode 3? 8)

PS: So, what's the spoiler etiquette here? I see everyone using spoiler tags, but personally, I can't be bothered with that. Not to mention the fact that this series is insta-subtitled, so if you haven't watched it yet, it's your own business. No?

[orion]

Yeah, I too thought it was weird since this episode was released on Tuesday.

That girl looked like Nazuna to me too. She looks like she's in a lab rather than a true hospital room. Maybe someone is hiding her from the military.
