would someone please give me a link to the a keep site so i can dl this once i finish my fma dls? the references to nge which in my opinion is an good show has caught my interest as well as most of you saying its pretty good even though it appears to have an over abundance of charectors at the moment
This series is quite interesting so far. It's a lot like Rahxephon. It's something good to watch until Gundum Seed 2 comes out. I still don't know why they are doing what they are doing, but there is good drama and action. I can't wait until they explain everything.
EDIT: Oh, btw, why do a lot of series nowadays talk about the explosion of youth, or give me back my youth sort of thing? I mean, the most extreme example is in Naruto with Gai talking about Lee. Is it a cultural thing in Japan? I know they always mention about staying alive and "I'm allowed to live" sentimentality because of the high suicide rate in Japan. However, is this youth sentiment similar along those lines?
Can you enlighten us into what the fuck you are talking about?
Thundrakkon I can only assume is asking about the strict family control structure and sheer number of school hours children in Japan go through. Lots of anime use young teenagers as their main characters, often having them undergo rigorous 'training' for whatever mission they need to accomplish, or through the horrors of war. The 'lost childhood' is a recoccuring theme in anime, and Fafner is no exception.
My sister, for example recently spent 2 months in Japan with a host family. She said the kids have strict curfews, report to their parents regularly on their nightly plans, don't drink and are always worrying about what their parents will think/say about their habits and/or friends. I myself have no experience with Japan, so I can't say anything on this.
Fafner in the Azure (Soukyuu no Fafner) is a pretty decent show. It has a rather colorful cast of characters, can be humorous and heartbreaking, but does have the feel of an Evangelion rip-off to me... The animation is incredible and some episodes absolutley kick ass. I give it a 7 out of 10. The music is pretty good too.

EDIT: Bud, you say you want some of the characters to die huh? Hehehehehe....
Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

Its about time. I have been wanting an OVA to this series for a long time. I hope Shoko returns.
If she comes back she will be a baby or a little kid...
I didn't like her anyways
I liked her....but they killed her. Anyways, it'll be good to see everyone alive again even though they might be babies.
OMG the best OVA EVER!! one of the best episode i have ever seen
sooo... The OVA is a prequel to the series right???? if so.. then its cool i watched it first (makes sense as they show all these kid characters that are totally unknown for the rest of the show)
No it's not a sequel. True, the events take place prior to the show, but it's just a side story, not a prequel. You'd have to watch the show to fully appreciate a lot of the stuff going on in the OVA.
Wow, I just watched Right of Left and it was an absolutley fantastic OVA.
Not too much action, not too much romance/sappy stuff. It really fit right in with the rest of that show. It was also really nice to see what things were like before the initial events of Fafner in the Azure started. Gave some insight into Shoushi. And I really liked that girl, the Mark Zweil pilot. I was always wondering what her deal was when I watched the series, and the OVA showed alot of insight into her character.
I cried when the dog ran to the cockpit. God I just fall to pieces when I see affection like that between animals and humans (make a furry/bestiality joke and you're dead).
An excellent, excellent OVA. Makes me remember how much I loved this series. Probably my favorite Eva ripoff ever (and i dont mean that in a bad way)
