Nostalgia! I bought and owned this series on DVD. I think I've still got it in my attic somewhere. I also have Gundam Wing and Escaflowne up there too.
I loved this show when it aired on Toonami and have a few of the figures. But what surprised me was I found out recently that this show had almost the same exact creative staff as my favorite anime: Code Geass. It all makes sense now.
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
I made a friend 14 years ago (we still are) while watching lucky star on some website that had live chat on the right side when he asked if anyone remembers that weird anime that aired on adult swim and it took place in the desert and the guy had a weird arm. Shoutout to my boy Jean!!
I remember this. Everybody had all sorts of cool, versatile powers, but the MC could punch things. If punching didn't solve his problem, he punched harder. If that didn't work, he screamed really loud and his magic glove grew more gizmos on it and then he could punch extra hard. That usually solved his problem.
It was rad. Definitely a vibe. Adult swim had the sections where they would play essentially lo-fi or whatever while a nature scene of a running brook was playing on the screen.
Okay so they are called bumps. I can't find the commercial bumps with the nature but this will give you a glimpse into how adult swim was on tv. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SUtXMRuhQcM.htmlsi=9BQHHajBmsg5oVKa
An OP that tells me nothing about the show except that it stars an arrogant, edgy hero who poses for some reason. Also, blue hair (0:40 - 0:45) is kinda cute.
The one thing about this opening that stuck with me all these years is the girl's arm position at 0:42 . It really resembles someone tied up using shibari, specifically the boxtie.
It's the jazz 'sting' (is that the right word?) immediately afterward for me. The fade backwards with her hand accentuating the flower petals synced to the music is so well juxtaposed. It makes the character complex before she's even introduced.
