So far, I really am liking Jyu oh Sei too! It's noitamina which is the Josei programming block like Honey & Clover. but like Honey & Clover, it is watchable to both it's target audience and those that just like an interesting story. The series is by Bones and the art is excellent, and yes, the guys are often very pretty!

I'm enjoying this one too. The backgrounds are gorgeous and the story is intriguing.

You said something there!

I wonder is that an older Thor we see in the opeing, because if it is....hubba hubba, hurry up and age....

Yeah, that's an older Thor in the opening... and I'm speculating that the other silver haired guy in the OP is Rai... But we'll see. I haven't read all of the manga yet...kinda don't want to spoil the anime. But the TV series is only going to be 11 eps long, so just wait for next week!! We'll finally get to see and hear an older Thor!!! Voice done by what's-his-name from Kinky Kids. He's a cutie, too!!

A friend of mine re-colored a pic of Thor that I drew if you're interested. I really like the animation in this series... I need to practice on a new pic of Thor sometime.

Only 11 episodes! That's not nearly enough! I hope the manga is brought over here. I'd like to read it.

I'd say you've practiced enough, that's a wonderful rendition of Thor.

.... Now do Third...

Haha Third is pretty, too, isn't he? I like his long hair... if anyone wants to send me a couple screens of him, I'll give him a try too. ^^;

Here's Third:

and my favorite:

Both from the opening.

Ih wait, let me add Thor!

This is young Thor.

This should be older Thor.

Both of these also from the opening.

Ooh, great pics, thanks!! And that is an older Thor... of course, he's only three years older there...and the series starts out when he's 11..... so that would make him only, oh, 14 there. LOL Don't you love how anime draws 14 year-olds like this!? *hot* lol

Watched the first episode.Looks interesting.
However, since my DVD player will play DivX,
we usuallt burn anime onto disk to watch on the TV.
Much bigger than computer screen.

But the file size for Jyu-oh-sei are too big to burn.
So guess I won't become a raving fan, since I hate
watching thing on my computer screen. Too bad.
Looked interesting.

Course, I'm no fan of shonen,
so the characters everyone's drooling over are only
interesting to me for their part in the plot. But then, I've got kids.
It's hard to get all excited about how "hot" an 11 year old is,
when you have a son that's only four years away from that
age. XD

Hey Zag, I can burn the eps onto DVDs for you. When I have the whole series, I'd be happy to make you a copy. The series does have nice character designs, but it also has a good story so far, and as it comes from a completed manga series, it should end as the manga-ka intended. I can appreciate a pretty character, but if this didn't have some kind of story too, I'd have dropped it by now.

Also, I believe Thor's "Hotness" was in reference to his older self. According to the story, by not having a certain operation, Thor's lifespan is greatly shortened. I don't know if it is true, but perhaps he literally ages faster. I won't know until I see more. He may actually be an adult at 14, does anybody know? Or does he just look 17-18 because they wanted him to look that way? (Like "15 year old" Ichigo)

Then there is this guy. Is he still an older Thor, or did Rai miraculously survive?

Zag · Post by **Zag** » Sat May 20, 2006 2:14 pm

That's okay hun, I can live without it.

Mmm, I dunno, that's a military uniform. Can you really see Rai surviving boot camp?

... plus.. operation you say.. you don't suppose it's the.. eh.. male.. snip-snip most boys get when born? (unless they're jewish orthodox and do it at 13.. )

Post by **Rekka Alexiel** » Sat May 20, 2006 7:13 pm

lol The reference to the young age was not meant to imply that young children are "hot," my dear. It was meant to point out the fact that so many anime shows feature young characters who, by all means, do NOT look their age. And I'm sure if you talk with Leah, she'll tell you that Ichigo is NOT 15.

And the operation we're talking about is "life extension". Because for whatever reason, those who are born and live on the colony (an artificial satellite orbiting one of the planets in the system) have a much shorter life span. Thor was kidnapped and abandoned on Chimera before he could have the operation to expand his life...which means he only has a set number of years left to live... unless he becomes a Jyuoh and can leave the planet. So maybe his shortened lifespan does makes him age faster. His older self certainly does not look 14. lol
