Zero Expectations Anime Reviews: Xam'd Lost Memories

Xam'd. So much to say, so little time to cram it all in. I feel conflicted about this show; on the one hand it was great watch and I really enjoyed it, but on the other hand I felt it had so much wasted potential. It felt to me like Bones said, "how can we match the epic scope of Eureka Seven in half the time?" So they came up with this, and left us with enough unresolved issues and plot devices to write a fucking encyclopedia.

But despite everything, I still love it. I don't know why but I do.

Also this is the first time I included spoilers in my review and used footage from the original anime. I had to flip it to avoid copyright litigation, but it's still great fun. I might use more video if I lose time to edit. Editing is hard.

I find your rewievs of animes ok and progressing.

But please stop copying the AVGN and Yahtzee it dosent suit you that well (however the banana thing was nice)

Stop teling how much you did not understand the anime it makes someone ask "why the hell do you rewiev it if you don't get it"

And ghost don't spoiler with a mirorred scene that seamed you just wanted to troll (6:08 ->7:04).

Well if you have the time please rewiev Ergo Proxy I'm aching to hear your rewiev on it after your current ones.

@uberloler It's more professional to review something by request rather than just because you like it. And I did like Xam'd, despite it being extremely confusing and convoluted. I point all this out because I'm a critic, and a critic's job is to criticize, not praise.

lol thanks for the nice spoiler there, would have prefered not to know who dies XD, but gona watch the show anyway XD, and quetion, are you making an effort to rip off zeropunctuation? and if you are, are you not changing the lines you take because you feel your riping it off anyway might as well keep it the same so it stays funny, or do you just not care? other then that thanks for the review cause it made me make up my mind about watching the show :)

@hinata1213 When I started putting out reviews I may have cribbed from Yahtzee because I did not have much to go on. Since the E7 review I have been trying to break away and I don't think I used many jokes of his in here except maybe the "this shit is bananas" bit from MGS4.
