I believe I may have been a little hasty and somewhat jumping the gun when, in my last post, I said most of the upcoming anime was ‘meh’. The first one to appear (albeit a little early for the fall season) is Bounen no Xamdou, or “Xam’d: Lost Memories” as it’s known in English. This one as I mentioned is being released on the Playstation Network as a rental download, but ironically it’s already hit the ‘net in full force and full quality.
Back to the topic at hand though: I was probably also not correct in comparing Xam’d to The Incredible Hulk. The best way to think of this series is to imagine Evangelion, Last Exile and FLCL getting together in a broom closet somewhere. Xam’d would be the resulting illegitimate child, and I can proudly say that the result is just incredibly freaking awesome.
Trust me when I say that if you enjoyed FLCL at all, then Bounen no Xandou is a must see. Even if you don’t like FLCL, give this a shot anyway, and if you still don’t like it I’ll try not to hate you too much. No promises though.
