Level E

[Munsu]

Let me see if I remember how to do this in General Anime...




Based on a 3 volume manga by Togashi Yoshihiro (Hunter X Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho) from 1995.

In the present day, hundreds of extraterrestrial species walk the Earth. Some are pacifistic, others violent. Some are here for research purposes, others are career criminals. However, humans don't know they are here.

Now, one more alien has arrived on Earth. One of the universe's foremost geniuses with a personality that's bound to attract all sorts of trouble.

I laughed my ass off in that one.

[Munsu]

What sub did you watch?

[Buffalobiian]

What sub did you watch?

Horriblesubs.

[MFauli]

Wow, finally an all around great show!

No pretentious deep shit, no harem- or moe-stuff, and a clear setup, even though the next episodes have lots of options of which direction to take. The chemistry between the two main characters is fun to watch.

Only minor gripe would be the coincidence that is the scientist´s daughter living next to him, but I guess this isnt complaint worthy since its from the HXH-author, so it´s bound to have certain shounen-typicals.

Cant wait for ep 2.

[Belial]

Just when i was beginning to think i lost my taste for anime something like this comes along and proves me wrong,... it's just that 99% of the stuff coming out recently is bad and generic

The only show i am going to watch this season probably

You like sausage fests or something..?

This surprised quite positively. Nice MiB vibes all around. The character dynamics were jolly good.

[David75]

Fully packed intro ep, yaoi vibes are strong though.

We'll see if they can keep up.

HorribleSubs - Episode 02

I'm just wondering if that baseball guy protagonist isn't some extraterestrial himself. Afterall he's been scrutinized by aliens the very first day he enters the territory. I just hope he's not "The Clive"

That's an entertaining idea. I haven't thought much about it, but those other aliens don't seem to have such a strong reaction to humans.

Now what if Miho was an alien? That would be heart-breaking.

[David75]

Well for those who know farscape, it would pose no problems if she was nebari or sebacean female.
I mean, aliens that are very close to humans in shape, weight, size etc
Of course, no awful cultural behaviour please, hehehe. Regarding diseases, you'd think the ones coming to earth are not risky. Just wondering if that includes intimate relationships though

[animus]

Your mama's so fat!

[David75]

Your mama's so fat!

Are you some kind of highschool baseball recruit guy that just transfered to a backater town and met aliens there?

[MFauli]

Your mama's so fat!

You haven´t even seen her!

That part and when Miho "interviewed" the boy in the cafe were the two highlights in this ep for me, haha

Only minor grape was that the visitor actually killed someone. Yeah, it wasnt a human being, and it turned out to be not so dead, but...if it was a human guy, what exactly legitimated his killing? Annoying some girl? But that scene was stupid anyway, lol, all these daylight rapists, right?

Oh, and I loved the subtle/not so subtle aggressiveness of the old man at the dojo, really great way to show that what they said about the Disckonians is true.

[KitKat]

Lol, Clive.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that something is up with Yukitaka. There's the fact that the parrot followed him from Tokyo before he ever interacted with the prince. Those Diskonians also really glared at him in the car, but who knows, maybe they glare at everyone like that. When he kicks the prince in the cafe, Miho thinks, "That kick... is Yukitaka-kun perhaps..." and then they leave it at that. But it's clear that she suspects something about him, and we have no idea how much about aliens she's found out from her father. She seemed very comfortable with the idea that the prince was an alien from the outset, so it's plausible to believe she knows more than she's saying about the aliens living on earth.

Here's my far-fetched theory of the thread - the cat is an ellerian, one of the nemesis aliens of the Diskonians. Or some kind of alien at least. I think I would love this show purely on the basis that a cat features prominently, supercatpowers or no.

I like how over-the-top and ridiculous everything is. The last anime I watched that made me laugh this much was Nodame.

[Buffalobiian]

"That kick... is Yukitaka-kun perhaps..."

I'm fairly sure she was instead suspecting that Yukitaka had a punk background based on his kick, which she took the opportunity to confirm while Prince told his story. That guy lost brownie points and he doesn't even know it!

Here's my far-fetched theory of the thread - the cat is an ellerian, one of the nemesis aliens of the Diskonians.

I don't think the Diskonians would install a spy camera on their nemesis. (actually, they would, but I doubt the nemesis would have kept it there). After Prince's escort visisted the old Diskonian, the old guy passed by some young ones watching TV and told them to "cut it out". That baseball game on TV was actually the one played at Yukitaka's highschool in real time. That shot of the cat underneath the bench showed a shiny thing (what we can only conclude is a camera) embedded in its forehead.

[Inazuma]

Awesome show - Odd it's not getting more exposure than that

[KitKat]

Oh you're totally right, I forgot about the punk bit.

And I'm not so convinced that the shiny thing is obviously a camera. I'll have to go back and re-watch that part in the ep, because I didn't catch that. Even if it is a spy camera, why do you conclude that it was installed by the Diskonians? The specific territory of the town seems to be under the jurisdiction of the Diskonians, but perhaps there are other aliens looking to infiltrate. I'm not convinced in their ability to recognize other aliens on the Earth because the biologist guy had to use some sort of technological device before he concluded that the "corpse" was Diskonian.

I concluded that it was installed by the Diskonians because they seemed to be looking through it. (or so it seems).

Ah. I completely missed that train of thought.. now I don't know what to think.
