91.8 The Fan - Forums - View Single Post - why do they make a series of anime then compress like 25 eps in a lame movie

When I saw this thread title the first thing I thought of was the Rahxephon movie - how ironic that it was mentioned immediately. I tend to show a little bit of movies like this to someone as an introduction to a series. Let's face it, first episodes tend to drag on and leave a ton of questions. But showing someone 10 minutes of a recap episode or recap movie can show them that the story WILL go somewhere, and they're able to better appreciate important character interactions early in the series.

However, I'm always disappointed when I discover that a movie has little/no unique footage. And I always skip the "Episode 13 recap." Cuz I'm impatient like that. This is why I'm a manga fan! XD

And Tempest, don't we all have crushes on Seki? <3!!! I was so disappointed when the swine flu scare kept him from coming to Animazement last year.
