Zone of the Enders: Dolores,i- Nohman's Anubis

NOTE= I DO NOT OWN THIS VIDEO. IT BELONGS TO SUNRISE. Z.O.E. IS A SCIENCE FICTION CREATED BY Hideo Kojima. Please support the complete series.
Nohman asks for a mock battle. Napth sends Rebecca to combat him. Will Selkis beat Anubis....???

[@WingZeroAlpha]

Dubbing aside, I'm actually appreciative of Nohman and Anubis' cameo. Here we get to see what Nohman was like before he became the Metatron crazed lunatic in 2nd Runner, and that he actually passes for human and (relatively) sane. I also like how he makes no qualms about getting on Napth/Radium's nerves.

[@lindinle]

what was with him? i didnt get it.

[@ennieminymoo6675]

@@lindinle In this particular season, he is an arrogant jackass with a very powerfull robot but that's about it. In the 2nd runner however, he was more reptilian, incredibly cold blooded as if he was not human anymore. that was possibly what Metatron does to the mind at the long term

[@matthewcoster5535]

Damn.. Anubis shows up, Nohman mentions Jehuty getting away and Viola being killed.. I guess Leo really got under his skin. Plus he's already power tripping thanks to the Vector Trap and Zero Shift. I'm frankly amazed that Radium didn't react to the Aumann plan. Maybe he didn't know the true purpose of that thing?

[@supremeworld87]

I think if the rest of BAHRAM knew Aumaan's true purpose was the destruction of the entire solar system then they would never have supported it. According to Lloyd in ZOE2, the aim of Aumaan was supposedly to dominate Mars and the Earth. I guess it doesn't really matter to Radium because his goal wasn't to dominate anything. He wanted to see the earth in flames which in turn would have destroyed Mars as well as they don't have the ability to sustain themselves without the earth.

[@matthewcoster5535]

@@supremeworld87 True, on both counts. Though, it did not help that Anubis' AI was programmed to advocate genocide in general where ADA was programmed to preserve life and sacrifice herself if need be.

[@supremeworld87]

@@matthewcoster5535 yeah but you have to remember the UNSF had modified ADA after they seized control of Antilia and Jehuty . I think they intended to do the same to Anubis but BAHRAM attacked the colony before they had a chance. So originally I expect ADA was originally programmed identically to Anubis' AI and was all about destruction, as this was Aumaans purpose.

[@matthewcoster5535]

@@supremeworld87 Perhaps, but at the same time it would not surprise me if Aumaan's creator liked the dichotomy. One of the keys advocating destruction, the other, preservation. Should someone possess both keys, then they would be the tie breaker between the two.

Seems that Metatron really did a number on him.

[@NebLleb]

Hm... There's something interesting I got from looking up this show and watching this clip: the localisation terms in Dolores, I include "BUFRAM" and "Antirrah", but if you've actually played Zone of the Enders or its sequel, 2nd Runner, you'd know that the actual localisation terms are meant to be "BAHRAM" (the main organisation Leo and Dingo fight against in both games) and "Antillia" (the Jupiter colony on which ZOE1 takes place). I should know, I'm currently going through ZOE1 through PCSX2 emulation. Though I don't have any qualms about the voice acting in the EN audio track.

[@gsamalot]

Even in anime form Anubis is one of the deadly frames ever and the fact it was easily able to beat Jehuty which is the most powerful frame built says alot

[@supremeworld87]

Jehuty was not more powerful than Anubis. They were equals, Anubis wad only defeated by Jehuty because Dingo was a better runner than Nohman.

[@sortedevaras]

That's one FINE fuselage.

[@user-jh6vt8vx4v]

Must be script mistake. Those machines are always being refereed as Orbital Frame.

[@Mabimanta]

Thats a aircraft component. The main body structure.

[@bloodedge1528]

The first time I get to see Anubis outside of the games.

[@KyanbuXM]

You know, I liked it more when Anubis's VT Generators were physically attached to it and not just floating around. The Anime really shows how nice they look just being docked on the back like that.

[@barrybend7189]

They were free floating in the original game. In some concept art the arms retract when using the generators in full output.

[@Knight121198]

This really could have been competition for gundam in the mecha genre of anime and they should have really tried to animate the first a second games as a series 13 episodes, 2 seasons would have worked out

[@TAREEBITHETERRIBLE]

great idea, also "SIMMONSSSSSSSS, BACK FROM HELL - ARE WE??" SPAWN "get out of my way...."

[@Elvisbackpack]

I would've also taken a Fist of Mars adaptation.

[@ericj6636]

@@Elvisbackpack that would have done well with not retreading the game materials

[@barrybend7189]

The character designer is from Gundam X, the mech designer goes on to work on Gundam 00 and the mech and some story aspects from Gundam 00 to Gundam Witch from mercury are inspired by ZOE........ Witch from mercury prologue even has a similar story in short to what happened in Idolo.

[@accelriderx2931]

Don't really like the colors on Anubis in this one. But damn, redirection of attacks with Vector Trap is cool, kinda wish Anubis would use that in 2nd Runner.

[@agera8951]

I bloody well don't. Anubis was terrifying enough as it was...

[@omnimon2230]

I’m thinking Anubis went through a color change and, perhaps, something of an upgrade somewhere between this and the 2nd Runner. Anubis’ generators are held in the back here like in ZOE 1, and the generators are spread out like wings in ZOE 2

[@QullVideo]

It's a shame the artists and voice actors from 2nd Runner couldn't be used for this series. Nohman is completely different and better in the games compared to this purple headed weirdo. The only thing they have in common is that they both adore Anubis.The voice acting isn't just bad, it's down right awful. If it weren't for the hints in the corners, I'd miss that he was saying words like 'Jehuty' or 'Aumaan'. What was so difficult about going over the source material from the games!?

[@PS3PS2fan]

+QullVideo You know that the anime series is shown before the release of the 2nd game? And the OVA itself is shown before the 1st game? Of course, they did have the source material from the games but there were a few typos and pronunciation errors. Besides, I don't find the OVA and anime VA to be too awful. Everyone has their own opinions right?

[@QullVideo]

+Sean "PlayStationFan" Goldtrade Exactly. I think it's a shame though because the story of Z.O.E is a fantastic one and an anime version of the games would have been so cool.

[@frostbyte8743]

Endymion this is after the 1st game.... and before the second. Remember Nohman stole Anubus half way through the second game and at the end from what he says in the battle it seems he hasnt had a chance to use it much.

[@frostbyte8743]

Endymion the anime is abit all over the place it starts before and after the 1st game.... its terrible how they never explain

[@ennieminymoo6675]

To be fair the voice acting in the 2nd runner was not exactly what we call good

[@martianmadwoman]

He is so fucking funny here and for what. The dub is so hilariously bad it loops all the way back around to being good

[@SolCresta3405]

Zone of the Enders isn't really known for stellar voice acting. Did you hear how they sounded in the first game and in The 2nd Runner?

[@martianmadwoman]

@@SolCresta3405 Oh I know. I really enjoy it
