Blue Dragon Options

[Rhiannon]

I THINK people are interested in this, since there are so many big names involved... But anyway, it's fun, and it's apparently coming to the US in August.

It has cute monkey sounds, strange creatures, large breasts, sexually frustrated little boys, shadowy shadows, good music, Ian Gillan, mythical beasts, robots, lame excuses, turtles, robot scorpions, crab monsters, Torippo, Akira Toriyama, loud dramatic screams, Deathroy, screwing over Europe on languages, old guys, clever girls who could be seen as jerks, Nobuo Uematsu, flying fish, flying robot fish, punching paintings, big fingers, zombie robots, samurai robots, Mecha General Szabo, giant robots, lots and lots and lots of robots, scary moon beams, Defense of the Wagons (it's like DotA!), Hironobu Sakaguchi, cute status effects, and people who post abhorrently large lists.

You people better post here, or I'm going to be disappointed. To interest you, here is the official site. There is a trailer there that you should be watching, and some pictures that you should be looking at.

I heard wrong.
The Blue Dragon anime is worse than the Disgaea anime.

I'M ADDING ON
Okay. Unlike Disgaea, which had terrible animation and ruined the general story and such, yet retained the general character personalities, the Blue Dragon anime goes and throws it all out the window. First, whereas in the game Shu, Kluke and Jiro all know each other prior to their introduction, and are trying to defend their tiny village from attack, Shu and Kluke are only familiar with each other (and are about six years younger), and Jiro is traveling with Zola. And Zola is some mystic or shit like that. Zola's shadow has a weapon now. And the method of obtaining shadows has changed drastically (not going to say how it was in the game because it's kind of spoilers). There's also a new character who seems to be there merely as the sex object (why not use Zola, considering she's fucking stacked [at least in the game, they flattened her out a bit in the anime]) and seems to have a Hippo shadow. For some reason Nene wants the children to be gathered up in each village attacked. Also, for some reason, Nene has his own kingdom instead of hoards of robots. And Kluke is a mechanical genius. Then some bad voice acting, a terrible opening and ending, and it's just terrible in general. :(
