Anime
So normally I really dislike anime, but recently I just found a show that I actually REALLY enjoy.
So I found Xenosaga chilling on the floor a few months ago and I figured I'd might as well play it. Got through it recently and thought it was awesome. I ended up getting used to the ridiculously Japanese/anime feel of it and felt that it really kind of added to the game (even though the voice acting was just meh). The whole psychology/religious/robot/futuristic theme was an awesome combination. I got completely into the story and it was very interesting. I'm gonna probably go finish the series with Episode II and III.
I remember back when Adult Swim used to do a lot of anime and normally I'd turn it off. One time I turned on the TV really late and adult swim happened to be the channel that it was on. This anime show was on that had these huge robots that were fighting some alien-type things. It was a really trippy show that involved a buttload of chemistry/psychology mixed in with these robots that were supposedly like the human brain or something I wasn't sure. I was surprised to find that it was REALLY REALLY cool and I liked it a lot. I only saw one episode of it and it was pretty crazy.
So after playing Xenosaga I looked up what this show was called. It's called Neon Genesis Evangelion and I skimmed through a few random episodes. I can instantly see the obvious connections between the two and can see that the makers of Xenosaga definitely got a bunch of inspiration from Evangelion. The themes are nearly identical with some slight differences.
Has anyone ever seen this show before? What did you think of it?
