Oh, and I’m quite obsessed with the Anime, and just love it! Photo journalism part came out at a very good time when the RSS Feed blogs are in an uproar and the war.

Bandai please make the camera and the interface, hotness.

To me when I watch it, it’s very parallel to the War on Iraq. And I think she has an interesting camera that records video at the same time as she could snap a picture. I would like one.

I like it so far, only through the frist disk. The CG with the mech is nice, never can go wrong with that. The only thing is that gets tired-some is the first person view of the camera and the skipping around of sences.

It’s well animated and all. But it’s so many things they say and do that makes no sense at all. Like saying things just because it sounds cool;
Ep 6, armoured door.. he used a sticky bomb on it and said “class c, three point burst” and fired 1 grenade..

They couldn’t use Comanche helicopter and long range missiles because of the radar guided AA defense.(The Comanche is a stealth helicopter btw, designed have a very snall radar signature)
Therefore they had to parachute the HAVWCs in equipped with an untested cannon, knowing it was too powerful for the “foot dampers”
The HAVWC having no “metallic components” in it’s ceramic armor would make it invisible to radar…(probably not)

After a while I just stop reading the subtitles and enjoy the pretty pictures.

Good show though

boring. constant flashes of the camera are annoying. only good point is the theme music playing.

Hehe, band nerd. ;P

I’ll be following your review per episode, but I’m not much of a mech fan either. :/ Or CG. x_x;

It should be noted that every single (more than 99%) of the shots/scenes in the first episode are seen through one camera or another. I mean camera as in an actual video or photo camera that one of the characters is holding. This I found to be a pretty interesting artistic choice, which fits in with the documentary theme they were going for.

I also liked the first episode. The art was refreshing and the CG wasn’t overly used. I do have a good felling for that show but they must try to rely a bit less on the camera POV. I think it’s a very original introduction but I can easily see myself getting fed up with it quite quickly as the episodes pass by. Nevertheless, I did like the narrative construction and the general premice of the show.
