AngelMeiru Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 Anyone besides me remeber the 1984 movie "Lensman" or the tv series (which was edited into a movie by Harmony Gold under the title "Power of the Lens")? Seems like I'm the only one whose offering fanworks for this anime. It was really popular in Japan and Latin America, but not so popular in USA. If anyone seen Lensman and is a fan of it, please reply. Quote
redsliver Posted April 30, 2007 Report Posted April 30, 2007 I own all the original Doc Smith novels, the anime is a worse representation of the canon than a Disney film. Quote
AngelMeiru Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Posted May 1, 2007 Personally, I found the books kind of boring. It's like Lord of the Rings, it just keeps going on and on and on and on.... BTW, does EVERY based on novel movie have to be faithful to the book? If that were the case, we'd have some very boring ass movies. Quote

The thing I hated about it the most were those super gay girly boy characters. They're women with penises for crying out loud. Guys like that piss me off. BTW, I remember watching Lensman when I was little. It was my favorite anime show of all time. Just wondering, can you get around to writting a super gory torture fic based off the anime? Yeah, because I want to see Lord Helmuth be victorious for once. Quote

Wow, I've been thinking the same thing too. After I'm done with my fanfic projects, I'm going to write a Kim Kinnison torture story. Quote

I agree with you on that, I just find the anime undersells the competence of the Lensman and it ignores the fact that they beat the Eddorians upper echelons by tossing superluminal antimatter planets at them and Kim's kids are completely ignored.

Guest Big Samurai Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Lensman! True old school! I've heard of it, but, sadly, I've not seen it. Quote
ZombieDuke Posted May 3, 2007 Report Posted May 3, 2007 LENSMAN!!!!!!! *waves around ancient VHS tape* I've still got my copy! Granted it's been dubbed into english, but it's still a pretty anime! After watching it, I only have the one tape (where the kid is flying around space and gets his Lensmen and meets the giant vulture dude), but I always wanted one of those damn Lenses in my hand...
