With the hugely popular art of Naruko Hanaharu and the storytelling skill of Butch Gen, mecha anime Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet has a lot of promise to live up to – fortunately it would seem it is having no trouble in doing just that, as the 1st episode has been exceptionally well received.

In the future, there won't be spaceships nor giant robots. There will be only girls and danmaku.
WORD!!
In the future, there won't be spaceships nor giant robots. Because china owns the world
Yes earth will become china quality and explodes
such advance technology still can't beat that space flower..
you try beating a moon sized, constantly regenerating plant with plasma roots that destroy everything in one shot.
The matter for that regeneration has to come from somewhere. Considering the flower didn't have a notable gravity field, it's safe to say there wasn't that much mass to it. Assuming somewhat realistic physics apply, enough explosive solutions should eventually wear it down as it runs out of the resources it needs to regenerate.
I once saw a duck turn into an accordion from having an anvil dropped on it. That means all American artists can't tell apart biology from musical instruments.
Yeah, I know you were joking. But then so were the animators.
@10:37
You can't generate the energy of the sun, unless you have 2 metric tons of anti matter to burn. Per second. And if you had that much compact fuel, you can just make it into bombs and utterly obliterate entire regions of space where the enemy army used to be.
Breast physics? Breasts powered by the sun? Wait.. what???
I think the energy source is what they were trying to attack. With the size of it and it's regenerating ability it probably has a source of power equivalent to a sun or more so in order to make it run out of energy they would probably need at least equivalent resources which would be a massive undertaking and unlikely to happen. That is why they were trying to break through to attack the power source which would have ended the war or at least the battle.
Sorry I forgot that the power source was the sun.
Realistic physics? In anime? The same medium that brought breasts capable of dodging bullets in between them with alternate bouncing?
That's the problem. We know since Stargate that you should make the star into a supernova in cases like this.
plants need oxygen to survive...theres no oxygen in space...
haven't you watched spaceballs?
Gravity tractor it into the sun. Problem solved.
If you can get a tractor beam close enough to that thing without wasting half of our population of Earth (Current at 7B) and the resources to match...
I would call you a tactical master.
Remember, that thing is also acting as a shield from destructive radiation from that sun, so you can only attack it from the front (in the 'shadow' so to speak.
Good luck.
Unless we read the Manga or watch another episode I am sure will find out more.
@ anon 23:44
That's why once you are space fairing you're supposed to spread out as far and to as many worlds as possible because if your population mostly remains on a single planet you're just asking to get exterminated.
Killer space flowers are not needed just a big rock on a collision course would do and if large enough would be every bit as durable if not more so.
In some ways space colonies collectively would be a few orders of power more secure then Earth even though each individual colony is less secure then a planet.
1) its in teh future, but the army's tatics are very primitive
2) we have wormhole technology, but we only use it to teleport
3) why didn't we just use the wormholes to drop a sun ontop of that planet sized flower? i'm sure nukes at that stage would be sufficient to become individual suns.
4) anime intergalatic battles = epic fail as always
5) GUNDAM STOP SUCKING SO HARD @ SPACE WARFARE!
6) hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy is awesome.
Yah that would be one way or just feed it some antimatter or a really big nuke and watch it explode.
They're always kinda dumb in these shows and miss the obvious.
Another way to kill it get some small asteroids put engines on them or use a ship and a tractor beam and accelerate them towards it to a good fraction of the speed of light.
Doesn't matter if it blows up the asteroids the incoming high speed plasma would still be very destructive to it.
"really big nuke" They tried. They also had some dimensional warping, instant death attack. You think throwing rocks at it would work? How would they accelerate them to the speed of light? Humanity here seems to be somewhat short of energy (at least in ships and mechs). They need to pull an Exelion.
@Rya a 300 meter asteroid traveling at a fraction of c even just 1% will make the lasers seen here look like an air rifle compared to the main guns of an Iowa class battle ship.
We're talking millions of megatons here.
As for energy why not put solar power satellites around that conveniently located star and then attach lasers and mass drivers the size of skyscrapers to them and solve two problems at once.
No more energy woes and get a defense gird that can rip something to shreds from over an astronomical unit away.
I guess I read too many Western scifi books like those by Larry Niven.
And then it eats the sun. Oops.
that thing launches pseudanthium with mouths that envelope mechs and explode as it's long range attack, there is no way you can tractor beam it.
I was expecting a screencap of the spank. You disappoint me, sankakucomplex ! 8D
Everyone dies at the end.
No exceptions.
That is the Urobuchi Gen way.
Urobuchi Gen's way is "Main character or main heroine are dead in the end.
TRUE FACT
okay-- fuck this show
lol
meh, he seems to be laying off on the "killing all the main character" things for now....but you never know. he might just have all the main characters strap a nuke on themselves and kamikaze the giant space flower or something >.>
Well, in Psycho-Pass neither Akane or Kogami died in the end so... still have hope?
So, um... is there any problem to not watch this?
Not everyone, just almost everyone. Unless it's Psycho-Pass, which actually didn't have that many main cast deaths.
Wow! Pretty colors!
Flashy lights
That hot red-haired girl looks somewhere between Yoko and Nadie.
She looks amazing <3 the last anime character that caught me like that was Rias from DxD... I guess I just seriously have a thing for red heads?
red heads... there's always something about them... even in real life... :3
Why downvoted? Someone has something against red heads? D:
NO! YOU HAVE A SEXUAL PROBLEM IN THE HEAD WITH ANIME. GO CURE YOURSELF ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE SICK PEOPLE OF THIS SITE. SADLY THAT WILL NOT AMOUNT TO NOTHING AS THE BLACK HOLE SWALLOWS OUT UNIVERSE AND YOU DIE ALONG WITH YOUR KIN CAUSE GOD DOES NOT LIKE YOU AND I TOLD HIM SO. WE TALKED A LOT AND CAME TO A UNDERSTANDING.
NO ANIME LOVING PEOPLE! NO PERVERTS OR ECCHI PEOPLE! NO GORE LOVERS OR PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT JAPAN NOR ANIME NOR ANYTHING TO DO WITH JAPAN.
JAPAN THANKS TO ME WILL BE EXTERMINATED.
Once again, shut up and fap.
@08:48 - you're all alone, you know that? What you say hurts many people around here, and I hope our responses hurt you too.
Fushigi no Umi no Nadia meets Macross?
NOT SHIT HEAD! It's Macross meets COPYCAT OF WATERWORLD! MAN YOU ALL STUPID! GEN COPIED WATERWORLD! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO?
A) its not like Waterworld's concept was all that original. the polar ice cap melting concept was around in science fiction already.
B) no one really cares because it won't be that hard for Gargantia to be better than Waterworld was anyway.
Except that we know now that even if all the ice will melt in the Earth it would be way too few to cover all the surface.

BOTH CAPS AND WITH A POLE SHIFT?
OH BOY YOU A RETARD! IT'S POSSIBLE WITH THE SHIFT AS MUCH AS SHIFTING MASSES.
A) its not like Waterworld's concept was all that original. the polar ice cap melting concept was around in science fiction already.
IT WAS ORIGINAL SHIT HEAD! THE DIRECTOR SAID IT! DOES NOT MATTER! IT'S ORIGINAL CAUSE IT WAS THE FIRST MOVIE MADE! TELL ANOTHER ONE THAT IS LIKE WATERWORLD? THERE! GEN IS A COPYCAT CHEAP SHIT!
B) no one really cares because it won't be that hard for Gargantia to be better than Waterworld was anyway.
NO ONE CARES OF ANIME AND JAPAN PLAIN SIMPLE! THEY WILL DIE SOON ENOUGH WITH THE WAR AND THEIR ANIME! NO CARES OF THE SHIT COMMENTS YOU IMPUT!
FACT IS THAT JAPAN IS ALWAYS INSULTING THE WHITE MAN! WELL TIME FOR REVENGE CAUSE YOU NEVER INSULT WHITE MAN'S VALUES WHEN HE NEVER INSULTS THEM. DON'T LUMP WITH THE USA SHIT! THEN ARE REPTILES NOT HUMANS.
It's neat how an artist in japan who has drawings of lolis drenched in cum can get a job being an animator on a tv series and people are looking forward to his excellent art style. If someone here in the west tried that there'd be public outcry and the series would probably be canned.
I'm not complaining about his art. It's just funny the cultural difference.
