Cluster Edge
I could only find the first page cashed at Google, so if someone can run down pages 2 and 3, I'd be grateful

This may have been discussed in the other pages that were lost in the great MB fire of '05, but I could have sworn Agate saved Chalce after they crashed into the ocean. Didn't he draw Chalce out of the water with him? Or was that just a dead body?

I think agate is somehow closely related to chalce.
Spoiler:
I can't wait to learn more about how they are related. Spoiler:
I also would like to see more about Chalce's friend, the Cluster Edge teacher and what he is doing after the events that have happened to him so far in the story. I guess they will do that in future episodes though. The series has so much potential though, I wish the studio that is handling it had more funds for production. In so many places its obvious they are lacking badly when it could be so much better. (The usage of so many flashbacks and the subsequent reusage of previous material is a glaring example of this that drives me buts, but as I so often say, "Eh, What are you gonna do?"). Is anyone else really annoyed by that? It seems like alot of the episodes lately have been somewhat narrated semi recaps which kinda sucks, but at least each one sort of brings some more understanding and different perspectives to the situation. Episode 7 or 8 and episode 10 seem very similar, and it made me very mad when I downloaded the first of the two after a release hadn't come out in so long and it was a recap(and so early in the series!). I love the setting, its fairly unique and very interesting. The ways technology has been developed to where some things are amazingly advanced and others are reminescent of of the late 19th century is very cool. Somewhat makes it a steampunk setting without the punk  , and its a bit more advanced than steampunk settings as well. Anyways, I'd like to thank the AnimeYuki guys for coming out with so many episodes lately in quick succesion, and for doing an all around great job. If any of you read this board I was wondering if that was because you guys finally got time to do so because of the break between school semesters? :P I'm really anxious to see more, this series was a nice suprise, and so far has been my second favorite of the fall 2005 series, second only to the extremely addictive Mai Otome

Well,It is interesting to know why Agate knows Chalce's past. I don't think he has Chalce's memory in the same way as Chrome. In the first episode, it seems like Agate and Chalce never met each other before.
 So far, l enjoy the setting of this series but it would be much better if Sunrise stops doing recap episodes.  I thought GSD is bad but this is worse. Can they move the story faster?

Episode 8 was a complete recap and I deleted it as soon as I fast forwarded through it, 9 had some new footage and 10 was ENTIRE RECAP AGAIN! What are they, stupid or something???? They show new episode and then another one is a recap? That is SO retarded, I am REAL close on giving up on this show, seriously! |

I'd have to agree that the recaps are getting tiresome.
But I would really like to know why Agate seems to have no memories of Chalace, but has his memories. I know how he got his memories, but why would he keep thoses, but only subconsciously remember Chalce? (Agate seems to lose his memories after every major crisis.) I'm hoping that the up comming eps are better. This has so much potential. and on the side.... Quote:

REVIEW TIME
You have probably noticed how anime after mid 2000 turned a lot to a 12 episode format. The reasons can vary, but watching a series like Cluster Edge, I almost excuse the industry. THIS SHOW IS SO SLOW. Most people usually don’t notice a thing called pacing but this show is so bad at it, even the majority figured it out. The producers just had to fill a full season with a story that easily fits in half the time. And there was so little going on, they even had to throw in lots of recap episodes at random intervals, repeat things a hundred times, reuse footage in flashbacks and make people talk a lot about things that are not very interesting to begin with. All that is a real shame as the actual story was interesting. It has war drama, racial discrimination, mystery, super powers, aerial fighting and some more. If all that were zipped down to half the airtime it would definitely make the show far more enjoyable. But still, the story would again feel bad at points for other reasons. The ending is weak. So simple for all that was going on; one would be made to expect a lot more to happen. And the characters ain’t really special in any way. They are two-dimensional to the most part, easily separated to angsty teens and sadistic adults. As for the girls … there are no girls; only dudes with some background decorations of women just to not make us think people in this world are hermaphrodites. I understand it has to do with war, which in the setting of the story is purely a man’s turf, but come on. Even macho dudes have a sweetheart to wait for them back home or some local enemy peasant girl to ra… err, interact with. Yet all we see is a sea of men, mostly drawn too pretty or almost like girls. Which is another issue. To whom is this show oriented to with so many guys on board? Typical males will definitely get gay vibes with so many pretty boys talking so nicely to each other with those cute or perky voices of theirs. Typical females will most likely find all this phalocratic militarism too violent and uninteresting without some deep romance going on. Even fujoshis won’t like it because nobody openly admits being gay and in a forbidden relationship with another. So what does this leave us with; is this show for homosexuals? Many compared the characters and the setting to Gundam series and yes I can see how the same archetypes and themes exist here as well. The thing is, Gundams had far more action and a lot more epic showdowns… Plus they were Gundams; who cares how bad they were; they are hits just for their name. Cluster Edge doesn’t have all that, plus those dog fights or sword duels aren’t that interesting to begin with. Yet another issue; the action. It’s so damn boring and random; you see a dozen people firing machineguns on some hero and he stands still for several seconds without being hit. Yet when he goes to the offence, they drop like flies. So what if most main warriors are artificial supermen? Then don’t stop bullets with their mind and explosions don’t get repelled by their auras. Also the main hero has a really broken power that allows him to perform miracles; effectively he can win all the time no matter how dangerous the situation may be. That is so cheap and boring after awhile. The only good part of the show is the background artwork. Not the males; they are all too girly and alienating. The setting is a blend of early 20th century, with many machinery being given a far more futuristic look. Still, the actual animation is very bad as most of the times the characters will be standing frozen and flashes or speed lines will be used as cheap visual effects to replace movement. The soundtrack has a few beaty tunes but nothing memorable, while voice acting is just nice (albeit deliberately girly for some). Bottom line? If you watch Gundam shows you have no reason to pay attention to this afterwards. Wasted potential and bad directing around a premise found in other shows in a far more interesting way. Animation: 7 Sound: 7 Story: 3 Characters: 4 Value: 1 Enjoyment: 3 Overall: 4/10 |

Wow, so I just realized, I added AnimeYuki's torrent for episode 1 June 2010 and it still hasn't finished
I was wondering guys, while there's only 1 option to choose from (AnimeYuki's) from episode 7 and onward (with Shi-Fa co-op from 15-18) any idea what to choose from for episodes 1-6? I figured Yuki for simplicity of episode naming. Any idea how Shi-Fa and anime shrine's work on the earlies compares? This stalling is kinda depressing actually. It does look like there is a "series complete" torrent on Nyaa now, perhaps we could add it? http://www.nyaa.eu/?page=torrentinfo&tid=170564 It looks to be a compilation of the aforementioned works mentioned on the torrent. Episodes 1-14 are listed as Yuki and Shi-Fa is given credit for helping with 15-25 rather than terminating at 18 which kinda confuses me. Since it also has DDLs (though I haven't tested them) it looks like a potentially good option for helping people get this series since the torrents seem to have stalled due to lack of popularity. Edit: On further analysis, the 19-25 torrent file we are tracking here even lists Shi-Fa in the name so it seems pretty clear that they worked on it... It seems we are missing the last episodes 26/7/8 released on OVA: *Day of Gathering *White Footprints *Wings of Freedom Can't find anything so I'm assuming they remained unsubbed. Perhaps tracking the 25 ep complete batch could raise awareness of groups to this series and we could see them some day Hm, wonder why that reviewer guy got banned... Edit2: Coming back to this, I'd recommend taking advantage of the MegaUpload DDLs that Vesto posted in a reply, because it's not being seeded very well. Last I checked, they're still up. This series is pretty interesting, a lot of sci fi themes, very shounen-ey... The only thing that is kind of irking me is the RECAPPING. Apparently, so much had happened in the first 6 episodes that they thought episode 7 had to be a recap episode... tolerable... until episode 10 came and they did it AGAIN. I'm getting the impression that when I'm done, I'll have thought this anime could have been condensed into 12 eps. Edit3:  Fon wants you to watch his anime.
