The Flaws in LaMB
HI ALL!
There were flaws that I noticed in the AMV of the Simple Plan-I can wait forever and the trailer of the Movie on Animax:-
1.Bullets in the AMV:In the first scene viewing Sara a.k.a. Eve,we see her face with bullets flying in front of it which shows that Eve has just shot someo
ne down. But didn't she kill her colleagues trying to make the planet green? How is a gun involved in making the planet greener?
ne down. But didn't she kill her colleagues trying to make the planet green? How is a gun involved in making the planet greener?[watch the video on www.animax-asia.com/videos]
2.Tears of a LaMB:In the trailer of the movie that aired on Animax, in the last part, a punchline appears- 'Guilt will make you a prisoner', then there is a dialogue said by Van Ness Wu-"Everyone has regrets. Whether its things we did or things we didn't.", and then the continuation of the punchline-'Hope will set you free.'
When Van Ness Wu says his dialogue, Eve is shown crying and laminated however http://www.animax-lamb.com/ states that LaMBs can't have facial expressions because their facial nerves are blocked. Then how can Eve have tears? :? That really confuses me.
[watch it on www.animax-asia.com/videos]
3.Eve's smiles:In the mobile manga, the same flaws appear as Eve smiles while handing over a
teddy bear to a girl. She is laminated then how can she smile and cry!?
teddy bear to a girl. She is laminated then how can she smile and cry!?[read it on http://www.animax-lamb.com/]
Conclusion:Finally, I would like to say that we shoult jsut not worry about petty mistakes like that and just enjoy the show. After all, nothing in the world is perfect!

A Message from Cerra
LaMB is a futuristic love story set on planet Cerra. As the govt. on the planet, Central Administration Bureau of Cerra (CABC), faces one of its worst challenges-greenery. Cerra is a harsh world and so the govt. needs to plant strong oxygen producing vegetation. Cerra in a way corresponds with the planet Mars in the solar system- red and sandy.
We can relate this problem of Cerra to our own needs at the moment-which is also the environment. The vegetation on our own planet Earth is steeply diminishing and we need increase afforestation and reforestation rates.
So, in a way, LaMB can be related to our own society. And therefore LaMB gives us the leson of waking now.

LETS WORK TODAY, SAVE OUR TOMORROW!
THIS IS THE MESSAGE FROM CERRA.
