    The First Blood+ Opening Song

    Like This Thread!
    That is, Aozora no Namida, is awesome. I am addicted to it right now. And the music video (which you can see on The Site Which Shall Not Be Named) is also SUPER-awesome-- it's always a lot of fun to see musicians who embrace their connections to anime.

    [Also, why is this show not on Adult Swim yet? I hope Sony knows the longer they wait the more people are going to have seen it fansubbed.]

    It is indeed a great song.

    Wow - I just saw the PV myself for the first time, and it is absolutely excellent! I love the anime/live-action integration they do in it.

    That, and, I gotta' say it...

    But, you're right, Sony does need to get their act togethor. Not only are they taking to long to do anything with a property that should be about a guarunteed hit in the US, but I have to wonder if they've already forgotten that we already hate them enough as it is thanks to them screwing us over with Astroboy and Cyborg 009. As it stands, they've got a lot of work to do if they expect any of the more conscientious fans to support them.

    Word is that their is some content that won't even fly on AS later on (something rape related IIRC,) so Sony has probably been forced to shop it elsewhere. Not to mention the fact that with Trinity Blood already on AS, they likely aren't going to be hot to buy another vampire show right off the bat.

    Really? That's too bad. Wasn't there a bidding war a while back between AS and G4?

    With the recent Morel Orel episode airing, I don't know about that...

    They're always more lenient with original programming than acquisitions.

    And with comedic programming vs. a realistically protrayed drama

    That and it took lots of begging and pleading by AS to get that episode on with no censorship. Damn BS&P.

    You do realise just how many Virgin lambs would need to die for that to happen, don't you?

    Sony + Act Together = Super Logic Paradox.

    The song is awesome, indeed. But IMO, the second OP is much better and the best of the series.

    This would be a perfect series for AS. I can't say it would be a gauranteed hit, 'cause there's been other series many people thought would be huge successes, but weren't *cough*Champloo*cough*. But I really wish AS would get this.

    About the whole rape thing, nothing is ever shown. It's all offscreen. But it's obvious what happened. I think maybe it actually could fly at TV-MA, maybe.

    IMHO, I think the second OP is highly overratted just because it's a HYDE song. It's certainly not HYDE's best - heck, there are more suited songs for a Blood+ OP from HYDE's album FAITH that they could've chosen (like Countdown).

    We know the dub has at least been partially cast, though I'd bet recording has already begun, so if anything's holding up the release it's probably not that.

    *watches PV for first time*

    Wow.

    They put a hell of a lot of work into this one, and the result is magnificent. The interaction between Saya and Hitomi was executed amazingly well, particularly when (spoiler for those that haven't watched it yet)
    Spoiler:
    Hitomi picks up the sword and slices the Chiroptera in half
    Of course, the song helps things out as well, because the song is excellent, and, of course, <3 Hitomi Takahashi.

    Now, if only a certain other Sony artist was that creative with her PVs...
