Well, now that i've finished Gundam Wing, (incredible btw, but not quite as much as i had been led to believe), i watched Evangelion again, and went looking for another series to watch. I started off on Macross Frontier where i left off (SO PRETY!) but then stumbled over this little gem:

Innocent Venus

Imagine code geass, except more realistic, in a post-apocalyptic setting. The best way i can describe it is actually Code Geass crossed with appleseed. The general structure of the world is the same as code geass, and the world is more believable as in appleseed (since lets face it, appleseed's more believable than CG).

In Japan, after several simultaneous hyper-hurricanes decimate most of the world (think 8-billion to 3-billion people overnight) japan is one of the quickest to recover. eventually, they are taken over by the newly formed AU (asian union). Japan consists of several economic zones. these zones are essentially civilization (like midgard in ff7 or olympus from appleseed) and all around them poverty flourishes. there exists a special forces group known as PHANTOM that is tasked with ensuring that the people outide the oznes remain there, and don't ever threaten the zones.

It's a great semi-mecha show and short, at only 12 episodes. great pick for a quick watch

i probably will in a few weeks. i stopped innocent venus halfway through, it just got kina boring. now i'm watching soul eater.

i hate Soul'd japanese voice, but i also hate blackstar's english voice.

Wait for all the blue rays to be released ( I thnk the last one is in febuary) the censorship is jarring at times

They dont stream/televise uncensored. so there is no way animefreak has it uncesored, besides why go for some illigal streaming site? download from the fansubs or watch things off of the funi site/crunchyroll/hulu (I dont link crunchroll though)

animefreak.tv gets them from fansubs.

i never watch via megavideo. always ALWAYS pick an option that's not megavideo (veoh kicks ass)

videoweed is good too.

Veoh does kick ass but watching an h.264 720p(or 1080 depending on the rip) video is so much nicer then some compressed as hell flash "720p" video no mater how you look at it.

What I always hate is that in many cases the fan subs are better than the release subs and thus the only way to get a "good" version is to get it off the internet. I wish the studios would find a way to partner with the fan sub groups so that I could pay them all for their great work. Like you could pay to dl it from the fan sub group and then them and the studio gets the money.
