First Episode released by Shinsen... it's licensed, so this is probably as good as it's gonna get

beginning was ownage. but when the huge robot (armor's ) came it went downhill. stupid big robots ruining the badassnes of the main charr.

Looks like a mix between Trigun and S.cry.ED.

Let's say it lacks some originality so far...

Anything made today lacks originality. But I might watch the next few eps to see were it goes if anywhere god.

Yeah, I'm tired of the "it lacks originality" argument... if something is good, it is simply that, who cares if it borrows ideas from other anime... at least i don't... in fact... if i liked the anime that it is borrowing ideas from, i like it even more because i get to see something i liked again, but with a fresh presentation...

Stekkos_Myer
Tue, 07-19-2005, 09:38 AM
I don't know whether it borrowed ideas from those series, (and I'm one of the first to say that people shouldn't compare different series). Though, fact are that the composer of the music didn't made much effort not to make it sound as S.cry.ED (he was the composer on that one too), even though there are different series with different settings.

Most of anime shows unfortunatly don't bring fresh ideas... (and especially shounen or bishoujo/harem shows... and this one belongs to the first category.) Although the Far West /Cowboy world is far from being common in anime series, the main character is so far a stereotype (lonesome-overpowered-almost-unbeatable-till-the-very-end-of-the-series-who-only-seek-revenge) character.

The first reason I watched this series was because I knew who was doing the music (I've loved his work on both S.cry.ED and PLANETES)... so I maybe wasn't searching for "originiality" in the music... though I wasn't expecting to hear some forgotten S.cry.ed tracks either...

After watching too many anime series... I don't think people can bear seeing the same pattern again and again.... the series being good or not (which it has yet to be decided by the viewer indeed). Even if this was a sequel to one of the series I've quoted... I don't think I would like it either...

(I don't think the one who made the title thought a long time either.... Gun x Sword... he could have called it Western x Mecha... it would have had the same effect -_-i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif

PS : on a side note I'm really hard to please, so don't think you are wrong either (or that I think you are wrong)... I'm just easily bored :/

I liked everything in the first but then they bringed out the robots.... I can live with them but why must they make the main female character so annoying.

Also Van looks have we seen before cant help but think of some other cowboy.

I'm not saying that everything is crap I'm just making a point that we should enjoy a show for what it is and not what it takes after.

Well.. haven't seen Trigun or Scryed (or however you write it)... so I can't say... but i think this show is not bad... i kinda liked the first episode... Giant robots... meh, but at least the fights are cool... and it doesn't look as if everything will be resolved by giant robots (if so, well that's lame)... I guess they just wnted to show everything that this series was about in the first ep... which is logical...

your link is broken or something, cant get to the torrent file

anyway, yeah i saw the first ep, it runs a little choppy on my crappy pc so i missed some of the action sequences, but it looks to be a "meh" series for me. ill pick it up when i see it, but im not counting down the hours until episode 2 is released. i agree with most of the points made above about the mecha and borrowed character designs, but what are you gonna do, you know? i do like the trigun aspect of it, although the predictability of the show is a little too patronizing for me, i mean of course hes gonna help out the village and fight the bad guy. its lazy storywriting if you ask me, but thats just my opinion.
Gun x Sword. cmon. stupid name. although i do like the Kowloon Cloth/Sword thing he has...
anyway, my final thoughts:


RECIPE FOR GUN X SWORD

1X COWBOY BEBOP
1X TRIGUN
Tbsp. MECHA

The first thing youll need is a big pot to mix the ingredients in.
Set the heat to medium and add your first two ingredients, stir well, and let sit for 28 minutes.
Serve lukewarm and garnish with Mecha

Watched ep 1 by Sora, and am liking it very much, when the robots came out I had second thoughts, but i'll give it a go, because it could make it interesting, but the animation, action, and comedy is really good, i'll be getting all of this.

Also, Cowboy Bebop and Trigun eat your heart out, as people have pointed out.

i was a bit skeptical about this series before, based on the first ep, id didnt really pop or anything, but the third ep totally sold me on this show, im a big fan of sentai, and shit, that was just cool. also the robot looked a whole hell of alot like gaogaigar, who im also a big fan of, and we didnt see Van or Dann in action much at all, so that was also cool.
anyway yeah, the next ep looks to be a little disturbing, what with Van possibly making drunken advances on his young travel companion. fucking japs, cant leave the young girls alone

So far, this series is just some kind of melting pot.
First episode was some kind of Mad Max episode...
Second episode was the average shounen episode, where they travel and help people on their way.
Third episode was a super mecha episode... I wonder if sunrise helped on that one, since the mecha really looked like Gao Gai Gar.
Fourth episode is the cliche episode where a character falls ill and that the other has to search for a doctor that doesn't live that near...

and from what we can see from the opening... it's feels like it's gonna go on with the "one episode = 1 vilain"

something tells me this series might hav more promise than most mecha/western shows. but like stekkos said, nothing new.

I dunno about this one either. the main character seems a bit off to me. Or maybe I just don't like his VA, sounds like he's mumbling :p And I find the stuff with the little girl, like her shower scene, a bit, well, unsavory. I've got to admit the animation looks nice though, so I'll have to see.

This series is pretty much Trigun with mechs, don't deny it, we all know it.

It's been interesting enough to keep me watching so far, and I kinda like how the opening shows more people after it introduces them (like Carmen and her weapon, which didn't show in the second eps open, etc). Van's seiyuu definitely doesn't really seem to fit his character, but everyone else so far was fine. I'll give it a few more, but it probably won't be in the top half of the series I've seen.

I just can't see how people didn't like eps 3. I guess you just can't appreciate a good parody. Not only did they do Power Rangers, they even topped it off with a "burning fingers" G Gundam final hit.

This series has gotten somewhat better from my impression in the first episode...

They need to get better villians, instead of these suckass punks...

Only thing that is keeping this series together for me is some pretty cool action sequences and the hope that the guy with the claw is kickass...

and for some reason i think that Wendy's brother is the claw guy... or at least i think he wasn't kidnapped... but instead joined forces with him or something...

Wow, the beginning scene is a blatant rip-off of Pulp Fiction. My interpretations of that:

1. Pulp Fiction is also extremely popular in Japan...
~~or~~
2. They're out of ideas and stole it from Pulp Fiction because nobody in Japan has seen it

PS: and I just noticed, that Tony guy's name is Tony Montana...TONY MONTANA!!!

26 episodes according to ANN.

Yeah, I thought this ep was more of a parody, I didn't like this episode, those two bitches kept pissing me off!

and they just happened to ask the guy and he knew where the claw guy was, when he asked and he said "yes, right over there" I thought it was just going to be some coincidence, with someone else, like how Sasuke asked for an old guy and a young blonde guy, and got different people to Jiraiya and Naruto. Also, at the end I thought Van was going to call Dann out for a second, and go ape shit, heh. Wishful thinking.

They will... Episode 6 was like episode 3 I think... they might have more of those (I didn't like ep6 but i enjoyed the old men one) but the main story is gonna be told through eps like this which incidentally... are really good!
and yea, I hadn't gotten the Dann of Thursday part...with this in mind, I think Ray is part of that group... and since his wife to be was also killed by the claw guy that means... what? the way its happening, he's simply setting up those two (and maybe more) to go and take revenge on him... maybe he wants a good fight? maybe he wants to get rid of them all at once (he had a chance to kill them so why do that? maybe he's just a lunatic who just picked his enemies with extreme bad luck!

Episode 11 (http://shinsen.b33r.net/%5BShinsen-Subs%5D_Gun_X_Sword_-_11_%5B94BA7245%5D.avi.torrent) is also out.

WOW! the story really starts at episode 11 I guess and well if you haven't seen the ep before skip this..









WE get to see the Original Seven!!! and Saudade looks neat. I guess it'll probably be Michael piloting it... oh and I was right in thinking that Ray wasn't part of the Seven!

Good episode. Looks like the real story starts here. I'll say this though, I saw the Michael thing coming....

Munsu
Thu, 11-17-2005, 12:32 PM
Yeah, I saw that coming as well...


About the original seven, do you guys think that he meant Van? Since in both cases they reffered to him they said "the guy above"... Though they could've meant the Claw-man, but I think the Claw-man is not part of that, he's like something above all of that...

And the two little kids were wierd, licking each other... bunch of nymphos...

These two episodes have been great, and it looks like next one is gonna be awesome...

Just finished watching episode 10 and 11, and good episodes, things are really coming to start, Michael coming into the picture, with the other guys as well.
Yeah, I got the picture that Van is part of the original seven, that's how I interpreted it.

Yeah, the kids licking each other was weird, spun me out, and it seems Van also, heh.

this was... was... DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN iight uhm... i dunno what can be said... without spoiling... just watch these two eps you won't be disappointed... really


now go watch it...






SPOILERS





you've watched it?
























Van is crazy! really... his face when he saw the claw guy was just priceless! damn! and Ray had the same face too! and wtf is the claw guy anyways? and was van's wife part of the old Original 7? at least now we know... we know what planet endless illusion is... what the original seven are (were) for. We know where Van and Ray stand... they have to come together... and DAMN that brother, the claw man would be dead by now... shit... damn... these two eps were so f*cked up... the introduction of the claw guy was so well done (even though you probably know who he is before he gets his hand). so... next eps... more good guys appearing? I can't wait to see the other Original 7 armors...!!!

two bests eps so far... and good thing Shinsen released them together. cuz they fit as a one-hour ep...

Munsu
Sun, 12-11-2005, 06:37 AM
Man, episodes 12 and 13 were awesome... Last 4 episodes or so have been great... But it seems like we'll go to the same formula for a couple of episodes now...


Finally got to see the claw guy, so that's good... I bet many of you suspected him since they first showed him... And man, that brother is a moron, that claw guy could be dead by now...


Van going crazy was great... I really love the face expressions they make when they go crazy...

Phoenix20578

That last 4 episodes have been awsome. The real plot is great, and the Original Armors are nice.

That clawed man..... I can kinda see how he manipulates people into joining him. He has a lot of charisma.
He kinda reminds me of Johan in Monster.....

I just got caught up with the series.

Is anyone else, besides me, extremely annoyed by Joshua?? I wish he had moved just a foot more into the shot so his brother could have killed him. Wouldn't that have made an emotional impact... And, I agree, the introduction to the Claw-man was fucking priceless. I didn't expect it myself, so it totally shocked me when that happened. It's definitely a good thing Shinsen released this double. The cliffhanger of 12 would've been too much to bear.

I love the Claw-man's personality. So calm... so confident. And he looks like he's 60! "If that's what you wish, then go ahead. But, it will have to wait until after I accomplish my dream." So fucking badass...

Totally agree. The blond guy's crazy face was great too...Hmm I didn't notice the claw man was and old dude in teh OP,bleh i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif
If I'm correct, there should be 7 armors (including Van's and THE blond guy's) ?

The last 2 eps remind me a lot of Trigun,I wonder if the end would be similar

Darknodin
Tue, 12-20-2005, 11:03 PM
mmm Ray is not part of the Original 7...

its van
the old guy that died
the two kids
the black haired girl
another guy (with the two kids)
and Michael.

those are the seven owners of the armors...

hitokirigirl
Wed, 12-21-2005, 11:19 AM
But didn't the claw man say that Ray's armor was one of the 7 ?? I'm a bit confused ^.^"

Darknodin
Wed, 12-21-2005, 11:48 AM
yea... i'm kinda wondering what he meant when he asked ray to join... maybe there are more armours or somthing but before he simply said that the armor was built to help his dream. he wasn't talking about the Original 7... also, the inside of the 7 armors is similar to what Van's is... Ray is a regular (although powerful) armor.

Might be wrong tho... and one of those is fighting in pairs... like two kids or sumthin and he wants Ray's armor in the 7... (doubt it tho)

hitokirigirl
Wed, 12-21-2005, 12:28 PM
I don't know if Ray's armor is a regular one : like Van, he seems to "summon" it each time he had to. On the other side, it's true we never see him inside it like Van inside Dann....

Munsu
Wed, 12-21-2005, 01:39 PM
Ray's armor is not from the Original 7... the Claw guy didn't even say so...

hitokirigirl
Wed, 12-21-2005, 02:18 PM
Indeed, he didn't say that, I just rewatched it ^^"
When he told Ray to join, it was confusing...
But then does the Claw man really want to gather the 7 "legendary armors", and just plan to pick up some random badass armor pilots ? What he said contradicts Gadvet words....

Anyway, all this stuff to say the old geezer is porbably planning something else...

now... that was a fun ep... not much happened in terms of story... but the Priscilla character is cool... and the guy at the end was a complete loser!!! and Van remembered a name!

Episode 17-26 has just been released by SHRIMPS but my friend told me there isn't any subtitles on it. Can anyone please confirm this one because I don't know where to look:o
oh me and my friend aren't neighbors, we are far apart that's why I didn't see it myself. He asked me on how to use CCCP, maybe we need players like VLC for this one?

sorry, just arrived from school. eps 1-16 were from shinsen fansubs. www.shinsen.b33r.net

shinsen are quite slow because they have alot of other projects and their latest release is only ep 16. I don't know if shrimps is good because I'm currently downloading them and there aren't any subbers who are subbing ep 17-26. I can no longer wait so I downloaded them :D

I tried and watched one episode while I'm downloading. I can't distinguish between a good and a very good subtitle but for me it seems to be better than shinsen's version. The quality is a little lower than shinsen's because of its file size which is less than 150 MB. I haven't found any wrong grammars so that's why I think it's better. Well that's all I could say because I'm having a difficult time here trying to find what words and terms I should use for my next explanation. :D If I've dissapointed you guys, you may correct me :D

Well, SHRIMPS got better, but they still arent really good yet. At this point, Shinsenver is a much better group (did I just say that....)

I haven't seen 25 or 26, but the series really got better, except the episode with the swimsuits, that was just flat out bad. Funny at times, but very, VERY bad. I really like the fact that Michael became a prominate figure in the series, rather than just being a mystery character until Wendy found him in the last episode. I'm hoping the ending will be a good ending for this great series. Most animes fall very short when it comes to endings. I'm hoping GUNxSWORD isn't one of them.

ya i know, but 2 issues with that. one, i really prefer to download a batch, cuz then i can just let it run for a day or two and it'll be complete. second, i tried getting the eps but my irc is being gay. it wont accept the sends for some reason. i keep gettign a msg saying "you have a file pending, turn you client to receive" or whatever, even though i've tried it on auto-accept.

Have you tried all of them? Some are firewalled, before trying a bot type /mode nick -x and then see the correct command to accept the file through the firewalll, of course, there are some unfirewalled bots which are the ones you should use if you can.

I got my eps 1-10 by shinsen from mininova and the 11-16 from their site and downloaded them individually. Until now mininova has still seeders but it seems episodes 2-5 are removed from mininova. By the way, the gunxsword torrents of shinsen in mininova are the same from their website.

Man I don't even have time to watch the rest of the episodes... too busy at school:(

17-26 have been subbed and released as a batch by a group called SHRIMPS, the quality isn't as good as shinsen but if you want to wrap up the series like i did its worth the dl i guess. Overall I thought it was a pretty good series, not great, but definatly worth watching.

Any of you guys ever finish the series? I just got myself the dvdrips and managed to finish the series up.

I thought this was a really cool series, and I loved the bad guy... he reminded me a lot of Bill from Kill Bill. I thought it had a great ending.

I know it's been a long time, but any of you guys ever finish the series?

I got the dvdrips from animecorpx, they have a bots with the whole series on rizon if anyone is interested.

I finished the series, it was a very odd ending with the whole planet destruction and all (don't remember too clearly what happened).

I didn't think the series was all the super good, it was okey to watch and better than most shit that is aired today, but still, not many things about the series that was memorable, only the ring-hat :D

Board of Command
Mon, 05-19-2008, 08:22 PM
I finished the series when it was airing. It was alright until the end when everything turned too "destroy-the-world-and-start-over-as-a-single-entity" for my liking.

Munsu
Mon, 05-19-2008, 08:57 PM
Meh, I didn't mind that at all... it's simply a plot device to move the story forward, and when you consider the abundance of parodical elements in the story, it was fitting that this would be the device used.

I loved how all the bad guys were obliterated, even when you started caring about some of them at the end, when they turned a bit good, they get killed off in the most meaningless way in quite an ironic manner, with falling debris. The way he killed The Claw was great too, cutting him in half without a word.

I also liked that even though Van changed slightly through the series, he stayed mostly true to his character till the end, a complete idiot who cared about nothing else but his revenge... it was quite refreshing to have a character like that. I also liked how he ended up leaving, without making a big scene nor caring to say goodbye to anyone, and I also liked how the anime at the least gave us a final scene were we see Wendy grown up with Van stubbling to her house by accident. I thought it was a nice touch.
