Xam'd: Lost Memories: Difference between revisions

Xam'd: Lost Memories (Bounen no Zamned) is produced by [[Studio BONES]] and shares some similarities to ''[[Eureka Seven]]'', BONES's previous creation. It offers a deep and involved plot with detailed art and a rich setting.

 

 

Has a [[Xam'd: Lost Memories/Characters|character sheet]] that [[Needs More Love]].

* [[Always Someone Better]] - Raigyo.

* [[Anime First]]

** Not to mention Haru and Ishuu. Hell, even Akiyuki's parents qualify!

*** Hell, almost anyone who's not a Xam'd qualifies as this.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Congratulations, you're a Xam'd! You've got [[Super Strength]], [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]], inhuman agility, and enough biological weaponry to demolish a city. Damn shame that you can't use any of it for more than a few seconds without running the risk of suffering [[Loss of Identity]] / going [[Ax Crazy]] / getting [[Taken for Granite]] / all three in no particular order. Oh, and {{spoiler|there's an ungodly powerful [[Eldritch Abomination]] who wants to pick a fight with you}}. Good luck with that.

** "One more red mark (''akaboshi'') and I'll get disciplinary training." -> "Akaboshi's disciplinary committee's coming by again!"

** "Don't be stupid. We purged those a long time ago." -> "Don't even joke about that. I don't want to be purged..."

* [[Cool Airship]] - The Zanbani and the Northern and Southern military ships. The Beat Kayaks, meanwhile, combine this with [[Cool Bike]].

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - {{spoiler|Subverted; the Captain's attempt at killing the Emperor with a regular bomb is a miserable failure that only leads to Raigyo dying... and the [[Eldritch Abomination]] in question ''[[Oh Crap|waking up]]''.}}

* [[Dress Hits Floor]] - Kujireika's reaction to being cornered by several ASP Suits, right before {{spoiler|going [[One-Winged Angel]] on their collective backsides}}.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]] - The Hiruken Emperor

* [[Emotionless Girl]] - Nakiami, appears such at first introduction but is shown to subvert it as the show goes on.

* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]] - The Diamond Tower.

* [[Expy]]: Nakiami's resemblance to Nausicaa from [[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]] and San from [[Princess Mononoke]].

** The entire main cast appears to be primarily based on that of ''[[Eureka Seven]]''. It's practically a 1:1 match-up.

** Haru bears a striking resemblance to Shion Arita, who was Birdy Cephon Altera's alter ego in Birdy the Mighty: Decode.

* {{spoiler|[[Instrumentality]]}}

* [[Ironic Echo]]:

'''Yango:''' (''to Nakiami'') You need to '''value''' yourself even more! }}

* [[Karmic Transformation]] - {{spoiler|At first, Furuichi hates and despises the Xam'd, blaming them for the destruction of Sentan Island. A few episodes later, guess what! He's becoming a Xam'd himself. Turns out he gained a hiruko during the same explosion that gave Akiyuki his.}}

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] - More accurately, 'The Only One Allowed To Defeat Me'. When {{spoiler|Kujireika}} interrupts his duel with Akiyuki by trying to kill him, the Hiruken Emperor makes his feelings on the matter [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice|abundantly clear]].

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]

* [[Our Souls Are Different]]

* [[Percussive Maintenance]]

* [[Post Episode Trailer]]

* [[Powered by a Forsaken Child]] - ''All of the north's technology. ALL OF IT.''

* [[Power Incontinence]]

* [[The Power of Love]]

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]

* [[Wing Pull]] - Even the guy ''with'' the wings is surprised.

* [[Worthy Opponent]] - {{spoiler|Akiyuki and the Hiruken Emperor}} consider each other this by the time of their final confrontation.

* [[X Meets Y]] - ''[[RahXephon]]'' (or, [[Follow the Leader|for the cynically minded]], ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'') meets [[Studio Ghibli]].
