Re: Shangri-La
Got to ep 9. DAMN what a shocker... Let's see some angry justice meted out please!
I agree that this is going to be one of Gonzo's best works. I think they did their best with Basilisk but kinda went down hill with the likes of Rosario and what not...
Here's hoping this turns out to be another golden Gonzo anime...

Re: Shangri-La
Up to ep 16.
Dang, I'd never have thought that that warden lady was a complete and utter [massive expletive] beach!
Big plot movements to be had, here's hoping that she finds the right direction to go, considering the frontal assault didn't quite work...

Re: Shangri-La
Episode 21 was alright. MEDUSA's plan seems a bit... out there, but otherwise it was good. =P

Re: Shangri-La
Well, the ending wasn't bad. However, the series as a whole was so confusing and full of QUALITY animation that it diffused much of the anticipation.
Points for having a Top-class bitch as the villian who you love to hate, but this show had enough trannies and crossdressing that I wouldn't stand to watch it again.
The action scenes were ridiculous, and some plot-points were even more so, but overall the awesome parts made up for that.
An overall enjoyable experience.
I give 6/10.

Re: Shangri-La
The last episode seemed rushed (but again, what anime's last episode doesn't seem like that normally? xD) But overall, I really liked this anime a lot. =D
I give it a 7/10. =3

Re: Shangri-La
Also, while I was watching the last episode, someone on my floor happened to glance at my computer, and asked, "Why is that old man in a cat suit?" referring to Loli-jiisan. At once, my roommate exclaimed, "Because he's ADAM WEST!"
Lulz ensued.

Re: Shangri-La
Once I realized this was Range Murata and Gonzo, I was absolutely 300% sold. I LOVE their work. There were times when I was a bit confused however with the economics. Overall, great series that I'd buy.
Oh, and it also completes the Trifecta:
Blue Sub = ocean
Last Exile = sky
Shangri-La = land
