City of Amnesia

Anyone else watching this anime? It's kind of an action/drama/mystery show that kind of reminds me of Big O (no robots, though). There's this giant field called "Hell's Gate" that appeared around Tokyo several years ago and now the sky and stars are artificial. When this gate appeared, some people (called "Contractors") developed special abilities, but they are without emotions and must perform some sort of unusual ritual as a "payment" for using their powers (which is different for each character and can be anything from smoking when the person hates it to writing a poem). The main character is a contractor named Hei who works with a team (including a "doll" named Yin who is somewhat reminiscent of Dorothy, although she's not an android) and often ends up fighting other contractors. As the show goes on more of the mysteries begin to unfold. I think it was just licensed by Funimation, but anyway, I recommend it.

I'll check it out, Shredder. It sounds interesting, and it seems to have happy amounts of senseless violence.

Sounds ownage. How can I get a hold of it?

I hear Movie6 has most everything but in low quality and resolution. I'd personally check out the various torrent collection sites.
War.

I think our anime club started a couple of episodes of that before the summer.

Sorry to say I can't recall too much bout what I saw, but it did seem interesting.

Yeah, i'm up to episode 10 at the moment, seems pretty good and the quality is awesome.

I'll check it out after I burn the 50 gigs of Dragon Ball I have to DVD.
War.

i died to the song, I'm looking for the show, but damn youtube! (I'm not alowed to upload anything.) i can only find clips *sobs* looks really good though... *dies with anticipation*

It does look good from the tiny bit I've seen. Still backing up all of the 300 Gigs of data I have, though. Expect it to be a while before I catch more than teasers.
War.

lawl. is there a site where i can watch it for free, similar to youtube, with out those damned amv's?

Did you check Movie6, a site I mentioned? I don't know if they have it, but there's a slight chance. You could check it out. Or hell, just search for a torrent.
War.

*coughs* that turned up porno...

And now I'm gonna ask you guys to stop talking about torrents and such, if you'll be so kind.

Ruin my fun, Finale. Fine.


Uhm... I see. I'll get you a URL, Bllue. Sorry.

Rejoice! I am not alone. This anime has been under the radar and to the extent of my knowledge its only being fansubbed and it is not yet llicensed. Which is a good thing. Cause usually when an anime gets licensed it goes straight to anime hell. The anime series isn't done so I check up on it every so often in hopes a new episode has been released. The cast of characters is strong with an interested story premise. It looks promising and its very enjoyable. Besdies, the music was done by Yoko Kanno. How can it suck?

Come off it, you know not all anime dubs and licenses are bad, and it's usually only some of the ones that sucked before that become bad.
War.

this is true actually. if you pay attention, even the origional dubbings, the ones in japanese, rather suck. i noticed it most whilest in the country of origin.

Just watch the Japanese Big O dub. It's nowhere near as good as the English dub, and this is why I usually prefer English, because I know people will say that they prefer subbed because it's in Japanese, and not for any great liking of the actors.

english tends to match it better. i like watching the japanese cuz i get to practice.
