Oh. I love THUNDER JET! The space battles are full of cool strategy. Power grab/struggle and traitors. Memorable characters and a touch of love story...

After the collapse of the holy empire, there's a power struggle for control in the Milky Way. The northern region (reigned by King Dun-Joe) and the southern region (reigned by Queen Mussamney). In the northern region, Dun-joe has 4 generals: Rogina, Fomay, Gen-yee and Garer. All these generals are given control at differnet areas of the northern region., and all of them wish to be the ruler. Thunder Jet comes into the picture as an ordinary soldier under the command of General Rogina.

There are a lot of external and internal conflicts. Many battles are engaged in the outerspace (battle of a lot of airship fleets). All the generals have their own strategist and all these strategist are also trying to prove that they are the best in that field.

Thunder Jet will rise up to the ranks... Oh. I cannot explain the joy of remiscing my experience with that anime.

The list of characters is not complete. There are a whole lot of them especially later in the show. It's realy worth a watch.

Btw, it is composed of 52 episodes. If I will have a chance, I would like to have my own copy of that anime.

Hmmmm.... I'll stick with the one and only anime show I watch. Pokemon...... LOL Kidding, I only watch Bleach. :wink:mr_bri9htside

Bleach is pretty cool along with Full Metall Alchemist but so is pokemon *sounds like an uber nerd now* hey everyone used to watch Pokemon, or atleast i did :P

I watched Pokemon too few years ago. I got addicted to it that i bought a couple of the GBA games of it. These days i watch Chrono Crusade and Love Hinna.

The artist grew up with cows and therefore a strong love for them, therefore she depicts many cows in her art(I think its a she). Anywho-I found out from a copy from any article from an issue of Anime Insider and that little tidbit was titled Fullmetal Alchemoo. Just thought anyone might like to know.droge085

    I started playing Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana, and I have to so it's one of the most enjoyable rpg's I've played in a long while. It doesn't take itself too seriously, the combat and mana system is fun, and the characters and story are lighthearted and cute. The game is also one of the funniest games I've ever played. Whenever Delsus opens his mouth, hilarity ensues. The game is totally cliched, but it just adds to the hilarity.This is the throwback game to the SNES for sure. Oh yea, Delsus is now one of my all time favorite game characters :lol:Headbanger88

Yeah. It is a simple, yet very enjoyable RPG. I remember, I was bored with all the games I'm playing, I checked my library of PS2 games and decided to put Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana in my PS2 disc tray. The graphics is a little off with the PS2 standards, but I did not pay much attention to it. It is just so enjoyable.

i just saved 1000 dollars or so, building my computer myself.

Go back to your base, there will be a scene. Then go to that Playground place (forgot the name). There will be some kind of portal.
