|  "Gonzo studios"
, posted Fri 2 May 06:27:
What do you think of the new things that Gonzo studios is offering lately? With an impressive record for us, mecha fans (Vandread, FMP, Kiddy Grade, Blue Submarine #6) and the general audience (Saikano, Hellsing), and a few downfalls (FF:U), they seem to have some impressive stuff this year.
First of all, Yukikaze. An awesome ova series, mixing some of Macross Plus, some of the Twilight Zone, and a bit of yaoi angst; with a great ambientation, and some of the most disturbing air battle scenes I've seen.
Then, Gad Guard. What happens if you mix Cowboy Bebop's jazzy and dark ambientation; and Medabots' kids-with robots series? You get something cool really. And carrots.
And of course, Last Exile. So far (I've seen up to ep.4) it is excellent. Good script, lovable characters (at least in my opinion); some incredible action scenes (the race in ep3 was incredible), Range Murata designs... if this series keeps the high quality (unlike, let's say, HeatGuy J) it'll be amazing.

Yeah I've been throughly enjoying Last Exile and Gad Guard. Yukikaze is great also, but OAVs should be in a different league, you expect an OAV to have better animation. Gonzo has gotten really good at CG though, of course Blue Sub no.6 was cool... but Yukikaze is even better... and for a TV series, Last Exile makes really good use of it, those airships look amazing! I'm glad they're not using CG in Gad Guard though, it wouldn't fit with the style. I think one thing that makes Gad Guard great is it's style... the show has personality, it's not just some cookie-cutter anime. The characters look stylish, the Iron Giants look really sweet (I can't wait for Katana to use his in ep3!) the cities are really detailed and the idea of a night city and day city kind of reminds me of the contrast of Gotham City and Metropolis... and of course the Jazz soundtrack is great. Now if only the plot gets a little deeper than "kid finds gad... gad transforms into Iron Giant... kids fight Iron Giants".
