Area 88

Post by SOULS_LEADER »

That's an awsome jet anime.

Is there a continuation to it after episode 12?
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Nope ... well in the manga afaik ...

All we have for this one is the older 3 EP OVA and the 12 EP series.
Not really sure I think I heard a rumour about A88 just don't remember what it was .. /me kicks own brain.

Edit ... ADV is going to redo the OVA.

"Can I help you?, "you know this section is.." she broke off her sentence as the man walked towards her and nodded, "I think you can Captain".
Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

Supposedly the 1st 12 eps was to test if there'd be interest in a 2nd season...

You may be able to find old copies of the manga lying around, and there is
a collection of the 1st 6 issues.

I'm not a fan of the moody noir style so I didn't like it at first. But I like the dogfights so I stuck to it and it kinda grows on you. Plus, I watched it dub while eating meals so it didn't seem like I was wasting my time. :)

I have the original 3 part ova. I like that better than this one, it was a bit more realistic and darker. :)

The dub was surprisingly not horrible. ~_~ I liked it better than the sub for some reason, though I rather disliked their use of Metres rather than Feet for altitude measurements. Havn't been able to get the Manga.

[14:57] Silver Lynxy: Oh right. You're one of those Trillian people, aren't you?
[14:58] Katyusha [Love Through Superior Firepower]: trillian people? =.= What are we, an ethnicity now?
[15:00] Silver Lynxy: Yes. An evil race.

over 500knts realistic :twisted:

@Katyusha
I had a chance on like the first 20 issuse of Area88 single issues, but the guy
wanted full cover price on them... :storm: Maybe I should go back and
see if I can't bargain the guy down to a buck a copy now...

...like the 2nd or 3rd OVA... right after Shin returns to Japan if I remember right.
They have to hit an airbase, but there's too thick of a radar / AAA belt.
So the Col gets the bright idea to duck into the canyon and do alittle low
level TFR... manually.
