Wow that sucks. I hate it when groups do stuff like that. It's a waste of time for eveyone and just plain sad on their part. If they don't like HA they don't have to sub it... they should sub Kotetsushin Jeeg instead  .
As for Heroic Age, I found episode 2 to be pretty darn good. I was unsure of what my thoughts were on this one but I've been convinced to stick with it for the season. I agree with you on the depth, Facade19. They surprised me with the Biblical references and the possible potential this series has. Now, in fear that I'm not making much sense (it's late and I'm tired), I'll wait until tomorrow to share the rest of my thoughts  .

Not really the commandments as thats likely to be just superficial. When Moses led the Israelites to their promised land it was already inhabited by a large number of Pagan tribes (the Ameleokites were particularly hated) which God ordered Moses to tell the Israelites to kill and occupy their lands. Numbers 31 vs 1-18 Deuteronomy 25 vs 17-19 1 Samuel 15 vs 1-9 This one tells us specifically that God says, in verse 3, 'Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep...etc' I am noticing the parallel between the actions of the humans and the old testament... |

Whoa I guess they are very closly related, I knew about Moses and the Israelites taking the promise land by force but didn't read much before or after that. I am glad you pointed that out. It does still bother me that they would wipe out intelligent life...and it doesn't really answer the queston I had, why would the gold tribe tell Age that if there is peace between the four tribes they will restore his planet, it seems his destiny is to help the humans but they plan to go on a conquest...doesn't that ruin his chance to have peace with the four tribes thus not making his wish come true for his planet to be restored? Did the Golden Tribe mean a forced peace? I am a bit confused by this.

I hope not, I'm actually looking forward to that one. I just hope it's a little more faithful to the original than Raideen has been... Emerje |

Age was somehow cute during the second episode. A "monkey" indeed.
Isn't that what the end result would be regardless of which tribe took over? spoiler[Total and complete conquest for whoever wins, dominating life in the universe, and all that spacey-epic-jazz.] I just think that humans are taking it a step further with the commandments.
I'd take it as spoiler[Age is obligated to the human race for a variety of reasons... being human himself as one of them. Working under that sort of "contract" benefits himself and the humans only. Taking over other tribes' planets is forceful, yes, but like I mentioned earlier, I'd guess that the others would do the same, and the Golden Tribe believes that a peace would come should humanity be the winner of this race.] Or somethin' like that. I'm just one guy. I don't know the heck I'm doin' or sayin'. |

Yes they probably would do the same, apprently were doing the same, I guess I was hoping we would go ahead and set an example. I don't know why but I always feel that if the human race did meet other aliens I would want us to be the fore front to keep the peace with them and others.
Well it seems episode 3 answered the reason Age is obligated to the humans, it seems the Nodos spirit in him is spoiler[being punished and was sent to help the humans as their protector.] Hey you may just be one guy but your opinions due matter and it does sound like you do know what you are takling about.
After seeing episode 3 I have to say I am glad that it hasn't gotten worse but more and more interesting. I love the combat and the whole story, it seems that humans spoiler[lost Earth to the Bronze tribe]...I take back what I said about humans seeming like the evil ones, how dare they spoiler[take over Earth.]  Also it seems like even though the Nodos warriors were supposed to be evenly distributed across the tribes, the Silver tribe seems to have four Nodos...that is going by the silouettes that we see of the four other Nodos warriors. That sort of leaves the Bronze tribe at a disadvantage...right? Assuming this is true.

With Episode 12 done it seems that the humans have now spoiler[begun the fight for earth.] Dumb and dummer (A.K.A the princess' brothers) have went ahead and sent spoiler[Age head first into the silver tribes fleet to avoid casulties on their side, just to say hey wait why don't we blow Jupitor up and inflict massive casulties on the Silver tribe, while sustaining similar losses and the potential destruction of are only hope the Nodos.
 ] I am glad that it looks like spoiler[the princess will being taking a stand though she doesn't intend to take over command of the fleet (yet). ] I personally hope the brothers get vaporized...but thats just me.
Anyways as the spoiler[fleet retreats to regroup and what not, Age is left (after surviving the explosion of Jupitor) to fight two, potentially three Nodos.] Things are not looking as bright as it seemed at first. Eh the show went down in enjoyment, though the Nodos fight scenes are still pretty cool they lost the effect they had at teh start of the series. While this show didn't turn out to be as enjoyable to me as I thought it would, I think it is still worth watching. |

The series currently lacks good pacing. It's a bit too redundant. The result is a series where it's impossible to create a situation that results in tension and uncertainty that in turn creates the interest in the viewers. Still plenty of time to make a recovery, but so far it's a mediocre title. Good production value though.

I would have to agree about what is being said about the story's pace and it would really need to improve for it to not become an average space anime. So far it has a lot of potential with the superbly animated space battles, the ochestra score and slight bit of character developments.
The only thing that I truly hate is the fansubbing group that I'm stuck watching it from "Your-Mom". This fansub group has to be the worst which I have encountered, with their constant annoying Notes: -_- and their sometimes terrible transaltion. I know they're speed subbers but they just don't take it seriously, is annoy one else finding them annoying? |
