Hi I'm new too.<br><br>Vandread is absolutely THE
best spoof of mecha, space adventure anime, popular
anime and popular scifi I've ever seen! I've picked out
references to over half a dozen other shows just in the
first two episodes! Here are some examples:<br>-
communicator and cloaking sound effects from Star Trek<br>-
Blue haired girl (can't remember names yet) with
device around her eye like 7 of 9, ST: Voyager<br>-
Hibiki goes through a self reflection about his self
worth, confidence and other personal issues, Shinji from
EVA and Akito from Nadesico-in EVA like dialogue with
EVA and Serial Experiement Lain like mood<br>- the
ying-yang sign which appears on the ship-to-ship
communication display, Outlaw Star<br>- the stereotypical cute
something (robot in this case), looks like a cross being
Pen Pen from EVA and those spherical robots from
Gunbuster, talks with a weird addition added to the end of
every sentence, Di Gi Charat-nyo?<br>- the computer wiz
with glasses and pony tails, Narusegawa Naru (in nerd
mode) from Love Hina<br>- Hibiki looks like a cross
between Hiyami from BlueSub#6 and Akito from
Nadesico<br>- Di-ta (reference to STTNG's Data?) looks just
like that girl from Generator Gul<br>- in episode two,
when Hibiki got into his mecha and realized he didn't
know the controls, again, he said "I'll move it with
my will!", and the robot move, EVA of course<br>-
the navigator is dropped into a tank of colored
liquid, naked, Outlaw Star<br>- the Man's fighting robot
is a mockery of any robot that used melee weapons, I
mean, chain saw?<br>- (bad!) alien ship, episode 2, the
American movie "Flight of the Navigator"<br>- the Vandread
is a fusion of several popular mechas, too many to
name<br>- the Women's monster costume looks like those from
the Bad Lad's Gang in Trigun<br>- Men vs Women, a
certain anime movie whose name I can't remember at this
moment, men were the monsters in that one<br><br>There's
also something that feels like Tenchi Muyo, but I
can't quite put my hand on it. Anyhoo, this is what I
came up with so far, and I'm only on eps 3.
<br><br>The Vandread review at Anime Coloney is totally
wrong. It's not a shonen anime, it's an anime making fun
of shonen (and some other) anime. <br><br>Anyone
have anything to add?

...says the guy that always lectures me for being too obsessed? tee-hee
^_~!<br>Dita-chan kawaii da, ne?

just another anime otaku saying hi!

awright! got 'em!

no spoilers kudasai! school starts tomorrow => cable internet+cd burner = eps
@home in no time ^_~! but I hope that Rabat gets kicked HARD.

No one else get episode 13? How about some impressions?

YA TA!!!

Yep. 13. Episode 13. I got it...<br>Should be on E-F's website by now...

by that, I meant that the message was already clear (sheez... now that I look at
it, it looks that I'm saying farewell to the club!!! that wasn't the
intention!!!)

no use to type anything here anymore...

kanji are derived from the original chinese characters. as I only see Kanji-like
characters and no kana, I think it's a chinese site...

Got it offa my "connections"...<br>Heh, I'll see if I can post it
somewhere....(doubt it though...someone give me some webspace!!!)

Where are you dowloading it? It isn't on elite-fansubs....

Which is a way of writing Japanese, isn't it... (don't try to make a fool outta
me mr. T!)

I HATED that cliffhanger! (in a positive way). it's one that makes one unable to
sleep (just like <br>Aeris' death in FFVII)<br>where did you get it, ep12?

Oh yeah, about my absence...I've got (half) of episode 12...still trying to get
the rest...so I'm a bit busy...(darn ep 11's cliffhanger!)

Damn right it kicks ass!<br>Heh, this is the only
link for Vandread on
anipike:<br><a href=http://www.scifi.com/anime/anime.cgi?26054
target=new>http://www.scifi.com/anime/anime.cgi?26054</a><br><br>I think it sums
up the series pretty well....<br>As
for new members, I'll go by the mantra "if you build
it, they will come". Eventually people will watch
Vandread and recognize the "KICK ASS" it has...yep. I
don't want to spam other clubs (nor do I encourage you
people) to join anything. I don't want all these people
to join without doing anything...

ah, here's one of my classmates!<br>you're sure it's Japanese? I only see
Kanji...

I'm trying to find some links on Vandread and I
came across this one, but ass I don't understand
Japanese I don't understand a
word:<br><br><a href=http://www.e-gameclub.com/article/2000/08/08/han/han1.asp
target=new>http://www.e-gameclub.com/article/2000/08/08/han/han1.asp</a><br><br>\
They have some pictures too.

Here I am :-)<br><br>(watched all 11 fansubbed eps and I must say... IT KICKS
ASS!)

if you want pics, perhaps you should go to
www.vandread.com. they're pretty small though... with my limited
knowledge of the Jp. language I managed to get to a page
with profiles of the main charas. just being able to
transscribe katakana is so useful...<br>they include the
birthdays. something for the club's calendar?

so da! I've invited 3 classmates. just see if they bite...

Alright! Another member! I'll claw this club this
club to double digits, just you wait and
see...<br>Yeah, the first 11 episodes aired in Japan this year. I
believe episodes 12 and 13 [the last two...there'd better
be a second season...] just aired recently, so you
can't find them subtitled just yet. I'll post a link
for those people who want to download the episodes
and see how great Vandread is [look in the LINKS
section, look to your RIGHT people!]. Really. It hasn't
been announced for a north american or european
release yet...but a SMART company should grab it sometime
soon...

I can try to make screen shots.

Hiya! I found the first 11 eps fansubbed on the Internet... SO cool! does it
have an US/European release? when was the first release in Japan? must be rather
new, as there are hardly sites on it.

haha!! very funny... yeah right! If I can find any ^_^

Hmm....To Heart pics?<br>Not exactly following the theme of the club, are we? Ah
well, thanks for joining...and try to post some Vandread pics...lol

Well...hmmm...I'd would've imagined there'd be "some" vandread fans...perhaps I
should post some episodes up?

Hey people! Welcome to the club! Figured I'd start a club on the anime Vandread
since I couldn't find one to join...<br>And hey, when it's Vandread...
