Anyone Here Good With Old Animes?

Unread post by Rawr »

By old I mean mid 90's-ish, anyways I don't know the name of it or any character's name that's in it, all I can give you is a detailed (sort of) description of a seen from what I remember from the 1st episode (mind you I only saw this part and only once, about 17 years ago). I'm hoping someone out there can tell the name or anything would be helpful.

This is how it started; Toonomi on Cartoon Network was doing week long tribute to giant robots so Mon-Fri they would show movies like Gundum Wing: The Endless Waltz and Blue Submarine No. 6 (love them both), but they would also show the 1st episode from many different Anime series that had giant robots in them. For some reason (I think I had a piano lesson) I missed the second half of this episode (and like the 1st 5 min too) of this show.

Ok here's what I remember about it; there was a boy, like young teens I'm thinking, who was trying to hide from the adults (not being where he should be, not like hiding in a closet) when he was found they brought him to this (I'm going to say it office building) the whole time he was making a big deal of how did not want to do what it was they were asking him to do (he really didn't want to get in that giant robot). So after much debate (I think) they said he didn't have to and that they would use the last driver. They brought out the last driver (I think it was a girl) she was wheeled out on a gurney all rapped in bandages and had an IV going and everything. The boy felt bad (I guess) and decided to drive the thing that almost killed the last kid. When he gets in the cockpit its starts to fill up with this brownish yellow liquid and he panics. The adults tell him he can breath it in, he takes a breath and says "I think I'm going to be sick." Then something happens to the robot's face, can't really remember this part but it (the robot) ends up like coming alive and ripping off the "mask" part and when it does it reveals an organic human looking eye. Then I had to leave.

Can anyone help me out, it's been really bugging me that I can't find this show, and I'm not sure why either. Any help figuring this out would be great, thanks :mrgreen:

>_> Why am I even posting when I'm supposed to be a lurker.

But yes, this sounds like Neo Genesis Evangelion, at least no other mecha series that has a protesting pilot comes to mind. Would have suggested Bokurano but that is a newer series that was released few years back (and still running in manga form?).

Neo Genesis Evangelion isn't something they would show on Toonomi (I don't think, I'll look it up to see for sure(They did run Blue Sub No.6 so.....)), and they only showed this one episode once, so it wasn't a running thing. Well drat, this anime seems to be a real mystery, thanks for the suggestions though, I think I shall go drown my sorrows in cheddar Jack Cheez-its and Reboot reruns. I bbl :mrgreen:

You should try the new Evangelion they're doing. They've only released 2 movies so far, but I've quite enjoyed them both (been an Eva fan for several years). Rebuild of Evangelion it's called...the animation is beautiful, the story changed (it starts off the same, but then starts to go a different route). Plus I like Shinji's character way more in the Rebuild lol.

I wouldn't say the same plot, there's quite a few changes, especially when you get to the second movie. I guess the bare basics are the same as the original series, but that's about it. I didn't feel like I was watching the old series again.
