    Xam'd: Lost Memories

    Did anyone see this Anime? It premiered earlier this week on the PSN(US). Its from Bones, so you know its awesome.

    "Sentan Island is a small island surrounded by the Yuden Sea. It exists in a state of dreamlike tranquility, cut off from the war between the Northern Government and the Southern Continent Free Zone. Akiyuki Takehara lives on Sentain Island along with his mother Fusa, e is currently separated from his father, the town doctor Ryuzo, but the bond between father and son remains. One day, after taking Ryuzo the lunch that Fusa has made for him as usual, Akiyuki is caught up in an explosion along with his friends, Haru and Furuichi. The explosion produces a mysterious light which enters Akiyuki's arm, causing him excruciating pain. He's given no time to understand it, however, as the white-haired girl who rode on the bus with him guides him to a power unlike anything he's ever known. He transforms into a creature called Xam'd, and his rampage is only stopped when a red-haired foreign girl appears."

    You'll get a Nausicaa/Eureka Seven vibe from it, but thats a good thing. Animation is top-notch too.

    Edit: I stuck this in the wrong forum, could a Mod move it? I blame Firefox 3 and having half a dozen tabs open.

    Just 'cause it's Bones doesn't mean it's goooood.

    And Nausicaa was lame.

    I don't have an opinion on this one. =D

      $4 for a half-hour rental? That's robbery.

        4$ for the HD rental, lasts 3 days. If you're really that cheap, I'm sure other ways exist. Its slated for 26 episodes.

        It was too late for a Fall/Summer timeslot, so this is likely the only way to see it.

          US PSN rentals are 24 hours. 3 days is only for Japan.

            Why bother, though? This seems like a total rip-off since it's just a rental. It'd be good if it kept the video, but you're basically throwing money away on this.

              Story is being fleshed out a bit, and the official Website was redesigned with new content.
