Just watched this great Three-Part mini-movie (90mins) and I absolutely loved it.

I remember seeing some trailer for it years ago, and when I was at our public library yesterday I noticed it was there, and checked it out immediately.

I just got the time to watch it tonight, and as I said before, I absolutely loved it!

Great plot and characters--the ending made me think a bit, and also made my cry for like 10 mins too.

Feebback on it?

Anyone see it? @_@

It was decent, though I liked the more elaborate ROD -the TV- series above the OVA. Regardless of which universe you are in the ROD series have a pretty unique storyline, though sometimes tilts on the boring side.

The detail of the art is stellar (as Aniplex is good at -- Blood+, Bleach, Kamichu), and the sound... Nice.

What I didn't like is how they used the English words "Mister" and "Miss". Something about it annoyed me. Also, the fan service seemed out of place.

Yeah I loved the artwork, and how Aniplex made everything seem so detailed. The fortress is what astounded me, same with the fires in it as well.

I absolutely love that anime. I watched it many times and am still addicted because of its raw emotions.

I was a bit disappointed when I didn't get to hear Beethoven play, but instead watch him flail around :(

Rofl, that crazy German aviator..

Yeah the different voices (english) sounded kinda annoying, but made me laugh.

Also, it was the first time I've heard 'bitch' in an Anime. :heh:

I watched it before on TV so I jumped in when there was a big Airplane made out of paper.
My first reaction was : So is that a bird? XD

Is that the one where the resurrected Beethoven uses a "death symphony" to try to wipe out the world?

I just saw ep one of the series and I love it. Not to much action but just enough to be cool.
