Edoropolis Emporium

Saber Marionette was a cool anime / manga in the 90's. About the same time as SPC, (I think)

---
It was about this kid named Otaru, who lives on a planet full of dudes, and then found these 3 chicks in suspended animation. Thier names were Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry, and they kicked serious butt when they were angry.  And to make a long, long story short.  Lime/Cherry/Bloodberry and robots with emotions that are programed to love Otaru and yadda yadda.

This series, I think, is one of the better done series done, especially with coloring and plot and character development.  Like anything else, it had its ups and downs, but there were a whole lot more ups than downs in this series.  Like a girl being able to wrestle down a bull, or (don't hurt me) Otaru and Hanigata peeing on a computer accidentaly and shorting it out.

Anybody else see this series, 'cause I have.

i read that Saber Marionette was created by Satoru Akahori, who was also involved in writing scripts for KNT, before he made other countless anime.

Really? I didn't know that.  It's a small world after all.

Their town Japanese is very similar to Edoropolis... Antique Edo city mixed with technology...

Konami's Ganbare Goemon (Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon) games have some similarities, too; not to mention the similar sense of humor to that of SPC and KNT. but enough about that, back to the topic. ^^;;

Mystical Ninja is awesome!

I happen to have the whole signature box set of SMJ, SMJ Again, and SMJ to X. If anyone really wants the episodes, I'll look into ripping them....

Lime has awlays been my favorite character.

I wanted to see that show... :)

Thanks!

Sure thing. Just let me go out and obtain\aquire some blank DVD's. .......

dude, you have the perfect collection box???

I WANT THAT SO BAD,
legally of course....


(I wish I had a credit card)

Yes, I do. I bought it off of www.rightstuf.com. I would say that it is very worth the money.

Thanks man. I see a box in the mail really soon!

I do apologize, but I don't really have the time or finances to rip the DVD's right now, However, I will once all of this bullshit at work is done.

This is a nice series! It ranges from silly (uh, Hanagata's the only gay guy on Terra II that's filled only with men and female-type marionettes??) to sweet (Lime befriends a little squirrel which she calls 'Squirrely' and learns a valuable lesson) and even sexy. But I love Cherry's wild fantasies concerning Otaru, they always raise a smile. Haven't seen J to X yet. If anyone approaches the series by reading the manga first, the TV series is to be preferred - it goes into more detail, the character designs are much cuter, and it is much less pervy.  ;)  Where else can you see someone balancing an elephant on an umbrella? (lol)
I have been looking for SMJ gashapon but I haven't found any. Does anybody know that they were produced?

yeah, the SMJ manga was really pervy and stuff, even for me  :O But I wouldn't totally recomend smj-x, unless you're a really die hard fan. It has lots of plot-holes, but it does explain everything in the end.

I have the Saber marionette J manga, and I watched almost the episodes, I missed a few of J to X because I didn’t like them.

I wonder what other things Satoru Akahori, Noritaka "Tenko" Suzuki y Goh Mihara did besides KNT, it would be a great info for my site. Yeah I know about SMJ, but i dont want to ignore the other two guys^_-

Know the name of the music group or singer that did SMJ songs? Caused they/she did at least two KNT songs

Im pretty sure that it was mega-star Megumi Hayashibara (the Japanese voice for Lime) that sang the SMJ opening and closing songs.  :gurulou:

Yup, that would be right.  No wonder the *cough* Good *cough* opening is so good!

That means Megumi Hayashibara did "Teyandee Special Express" song?

unfortunately, it wasn't Megumi :( that was sung by Ami Itabashi.

Oh Yeah, Just watched Saber Marionette R.

It was very dark compared to SMJ, and a whole lot bloodier.
I give it four stars

Megumi was the seiyuu of Lime, isn't? ANyway she doesn't sang Special EXpress Time; this was performed by other singer whose name I can't remember now (Stupid TV)... Hmmm... I must jump to the Mistery thread!!!
