OMFG dai-guard!

[permetaform]

WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA. ::FLAILS::

So like, I visited runefallstar and karotsamused this weekend and they pimped Dai-Guard at me, and like WHOA.

I mean, initially I got curious at it because it was described to me as the bastard child of Evangelion (and various other mecha Anime) and Office Space.

Office. Space. With Mecha.

Which is shitloads of awesome with really nice ensemble cast and some lovely subtext,

BUT DUDE, I'm getting into the later eps and HOlY FUCK. It's has office politics and red tape and international bruhaha and head-butting with the government and does interesting play with the whole Weapons of Mass Destruction concept. Also! It has an really interesting thing with the differences between Teamwork and Following Orders which is a really rare distinction to see, in like, y'know, a Mecha anime.

It...WHOA.

Unfortunately, the anime is apparently really fucking rare. But me and runefallstar and karotsamused think there might be a way to properly pimp this... ::schemes:: =D

[edit] zero_sleep points out that there's a working torrent up!! ::cheers!!::

I feel kind of... presumptuous... here, but do you think you could maybe share it with somebody who can torrent it, too? Or put it on any of the filesharing services, or emule, or... well, basically anywhere *but* YouTube? The trouble with streaming services is that they don't really work for people who like to watch things on long train journeys without internet access.

look! a link to functioning torrent! ::waves at and cheers::

:-( It won't function for me. I tried it yesterday after finding it on Torrentspy, but I can't see any seeders, and I can't get the tracker to connect.

Oh well. I'll be patient. :-)

ah boo, ::woeface:: sorry that doesn't work.

if it's any consolation, I remember hearing of a program that lets you download the videos from youtube. When I link to the eps, I'll be sure to mention the program. =)
