I can't either see why Code Geass is so popular either, as it's SO giving out a wrong example. That's why I love anime like these, who address this aspect in a good way, Popolocrois 2003 also does this pretty well.

Code Geass, Gigantic Formula are the best examples of this" Wow, I finally found someone who agrees with me! All these otaku mecha fanboys gush about Geass, and I'm like "Hello, is nobody else extremely disturbed by the fact that the anime is totally nationalist?" But thanks for realizing that. I don't watch that much anime, and I shunned this at first b/c of the art style. But it's like Fan.Children with the retro/odd art style and the very deep, thought-provoking plot. Oh well! “Overall, most Japanese are extremely xenophobic, and in some anime it shows. Code Geass, Gigantic Formula are the best examples of this”

I've been waiting over a decade (I first learned about Terra e back in the 90s) for any available copies of it (the movie was impossible to find by the time I got on the internet) and the anime is making me positively happy! You can also find copies of the manga out in English now. Volume 2 got released not long ago (I have to hunt for it now) and volume 3's coming out in June. ;__; Finally someone with POSITIVE comments about Terra E.

It's quite different from usual, but it looks very interesting. And like you said, if the animators keep getting better, we'll be in for something very interesting. :) Greenishio: I like the art style myself as well.

I may be alone in this but I watch Terra mostly for the retro style... I just have a thing for 70s shoujo. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside xD And no I'm not old >_> The preview for ep 4 looks promising. I'm not sure if they'll kill off Soldier Blue so soon...though I suspect they might do it eventually.

Leo better not die, he was such a nice character... Well, considering how the preview was, do you think Soldier Blue will die in the next episode? What with the "SOLDIER BLUEEEEEE!" and all?

It may be just genetic mutation that happened after they left Earth/Terra. I think they said in the second episode that they don’t really know themselves.

I haven't picked up how Myu orignally came to be, so it may be something spontaneous, but I wonder what makes certain humans Myu, while others aren't? Wrex: no, I meant something else.

I think this episode showed why he's a Myu... his telepathic and telekenetic powers awakened. Everyone on board the Shangri-la felt his psychic wave and Physis declared it was like a bomb going off. I wonder what happened to his parents... “Bad: The question, of course, remains: will this anime give a reason why Jomie is a Myu?”

Interesting series so far. I also hope Leo's okay from that explosion. ;_; Poor Jomie. Seeing his memories of his parents makes me sad too. I guess their memories are erased now? Looking forward to seeing Jomie grow into a fine MU leader as he was destined to be. (Once he accepts his fate, of course.) I saw all three raw episodes on the Tube. Interesting series so far.

You can find it on tokyo toshokan. I'm glad people actually read my summaries. My own japanese already is horrible, so I'm glad that people are actually finding them useful. :) About the fansubs: Saizen and Anime-empire just released the first episode.
