    I've been drooling over this show for some time now.

    It's the second of the two GAINAX shows this season.

    Spoilers for the first episode follow.

    The setting: Sometime in the future.
    The world has been taken over by monsters. The skies over the planet are a bright red, and the streets have blood splotches all over them. (I'm still wondering why people in the show don't seem to notice that their highways are covered in blood. ><)

    It's about a kid named Bocca who wants to be a "Warrior", like the people who fought against the monsters in the past.

    He finds an actual warrior in a shop he has a part time job at...but when his best (girl)friend got involved in the strange events happening(kidnappings, etc.), then he decided to see what's happening.

    What follows is some uber badass moments where he discovers his own power, and realizes that he can also see "her", the Melody of Oblivion.

    Any who, he fights against things like huge chickens from the sky, schoolbusses that grow bull legs, and other freaky monsters.

    In other words: GAINAX's WTF show of the year.

    The show has some NICE music, good fight scenes, and overall rocks HARD.

    Too bad the group that was subbing it lost their translator.
    Hopefully a good company will license it soon so I can buy me some DVDs of this great show.
