‘Bounen no Xamdou’ on PSN VOD
Missed it, so you guys can thank ANN for this one: apparently I was so busy looking for FUNimation’s name in the press release that I completely missed this:
Additionally, SCEI will be introducing original exclusive content such as Xam’d: Lost Memories, an anime series developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan, delivered in SD and HD.
For those of you keeping track at home, that’s Bounen no Xamdou, the newest BONES project– a “nostalgic sci-fi,” they call it. I just caught the trailer that’s already up on the PSN and it looks awesome. For those of you with no PS3 of your own, that’s the same trailer up at the top of this article, so enjoy.
Now the question, of course, is whether Xamdou will be offered up simultaneous with its Japanese release or sometime thereafter, and whether it’ll be a dub or sub release. The trailer has no dialogue at all, so no hints there.

The trailer seemed good. Felt very Eureka Seven-ish to me, with obviously good reason, and that’s no bad thing.

A good trailer does not make a good show.

But has high potential. And it’s Bones so less thing can go wrong unless you hate them very much.
But if it’s PSN exclusive, it going to be hard for me to watch this show.

So I looked on the new PSN video store and sees “episode 1″ of this for 3.99 on HD.
I guess we’ll see what it’s like 1520mb later~

@omo: Daaaaamn. 1520mb for a single episode?

it looks a lot like eureka seven, but at 1.5GB and 3$ for a rental… no thanks. someone will have it for download eventually.
