I can't wait to see an anime adaptation of it

It starts airing Sept. 27th.

[Great Rumbler]

Catching up on Space Dandy, still awesome.

Anybody who dropped the series early on is really missing out, and I mean that sincerely. What started out as a shakey space comedy with some amazing animation has slowly transformed into something really special over the course of its run. Some really hilarious episodes, some really poignant episodes, the constantly shifting crew of writers, directors, and animators has somehow managed to avoid letting one or the other have too much control while letting both have their own moments. Space Dandy is one of the few works of anime I've seen this decade that reminds of the golden age of OVAs from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, almost nothing else even comes close to this level of sheer exuberance for the medium.

It's an amazing show and it started out that way, too.  Quality has been consistent throughout.

[Great Rumbler]

I'd argue that, at worst, the first three episodes were rough around the edges in terms of narrative and humor and didn't hit quite as well as the episodes after that, but I definitely really enjoyed them either way.

[bork]

JoJo's is on hiatus until January.   

It's amazing how little the first half of Stardust Crusaders contributes to the overall story.  I still enjoyed it, but they could have cut out at least half the episodes and it would have made no difference.

[Rufus]

Been flipping through the Terra Formers manga and it really is fucking nuts. Favourite move in this: pull head off.

They named the German guy Adolf.

[Momo]

I ordered Terra Formars vol 1

[Trent Dole]

I'm watching Trigun right nao.

It's pretty bad.

I like the art style though.

It doesn't get better. Shit takes like half its run to get to the main plot. Some people at the time said this was better than Cowboy Bebop. Those people are fucking wrong.

[Great Rumbler]

I really liked Trigun the first time I watched it many years ago, and it's got some really great moments, but it just doesn't hold up.

And one of the people under him is named Eva.

About to watch Azumanga Daioh for the first time in years tonight, let's see if it holds up

Azumanga Daioh was the show that awared me to "moe".

I rewatched it a few months ago, and it still pretty good. That early 2000's digital animation look is kinda scusting now, tho.

[Joe Molotov]

Osaka's dreams about Chiyo's dad are some of my favorite parts.



"OH MAH GAAH!"

It's that time again

More Yowamushi Pedal
Still angry season 1 ended in the middle of a race

[Great Rumbler]

 

[Cheddahz]

Speaking fo Azumanga Daioh, I bought the complete manga collection of it off of someone on GAF and it showed up today

[Joe Molotov]

I've heard the new Yen Press translation is a lot better than the old ADV one. I need to pick it up some day.

[bork]

Holy shit, didn't even know that existed.  I have the old ones and original Japanese ones stuck away somewhere.

Haven't even read Yotsuba in years.   

[Great Rumbler]

The ADV translation was pretty garbage, especially in the first two volumes. The Yen Press translation, from what little I read of it, was way better.

[Joe Molotov]

Yotsuba da GAWDESS

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Huh, had no idea that was a thing. I have all the ADV press too, i guess I gotta keep supporting Yen Press' work.

Last episode of Baby Steps was alright, I guess. I looked up the manga and skimmed over to where this season ends since I'm too impatient to wait until Spring for season 2. Animation was faithful enough where I don't think I'll feel any difference reading it from here on.

[deepest throat]

kinda wish yen press would bring over the redrawn versions of azumanga daioh

[cool breeze]

hunter x hunter anime is over  :'(

manga has barely made progress and is on hiatus.  it's gonna be another ten years until the next series.

[Himu]

Azumanga's anime looks fine to me. It's charming and simplistic.

Started rereading Kare Kano. Have so much nostalgia for this manga and anime. It's still my favorite romance manga too.

When does Gundam start?

[Himu]

Also lol adv manga. Man I miss Tokyopop and adv.

[Himu]

I have to say that...I don't really consider myself an anime fan anymore. It sucks but I think I've grown out of it and that makes me sad. These days even when I watch a show that I think is good, like Jojo, I stop watching it. Nothing catches my attention anymore. I've made peace with that, but it shocks me because I've been a fan since 1997. That's a long time. Yet I keep watching and stopping, watching and stopping to try to bring back a joy of watching something I once loved. The anime these these days isn't even bad so I have no issues with quality. The interest just isn't there anymore.

Here's hoping tunes gundam is good, but I bet even that won't be able to keep my attention and I'll stop at like episode 4 or something.

I'm still big on manga, surprisingly. I guess that's just how hobbies go.

Man, I'm almost done with Zeta Gundam and I'm not impressed. Started out pretty awesome but now it's kinda average. It's just not very satisfying. Movie trilogy was better. Char's character in Zeta is far too meh.

Zeta gundam is one of the most overrated gundam. The first half sucks and is full of whiny children like Katsu. Zeta gundam doesn't get good until the mid 30-ish episodes until the incredible finale. There's only 10-14 episodes of Zeta that are actually great.

[Bebpo]

I was gonna give you shit for your Zeta opinion, but I can agree that Zeta only has 10-14 GREAT eps, but I still love the show because most of those are at the end and it ends so.damn.awesome.  Really has one of the most intense endgames of any Gundam full of badass fights, emotions and deaths.  The rest of the show is alright and Camille is a punk.

[Himu]

The ending is classic.

[Bebpo]

Zeta:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Char vs. Haman was EPIC.  That final scene where he's got her pinned down and she goes for the funnels and the place explodes and you don't know what happens to them...two major power players in the UC world fighting 1:1 even; so intense and then a great send off.

Katsu & Rosamy were classic Tomino crazy folks running on emotions instead of logic.  Katsu suicide was totally in character.  The cat fighting with the two girls to the death was super Tomino and Kamille getting fucked because he's a punk was super satisfying and did a good job showing PTSD and war can do to the mind.

[close]

The thing is crazy Tomino imo is defined by a large cast of characters who don't make any sense and are all schizophrenic.  They get really emotional, make lots of stupid instant decisions and you never know what's going to happen because they are the furthest thing from predictable.  Are they realistic?  Only in the sense that Tomino worlds are inhabited by 90% crazy people.  But hell, it's different than the majority of shows out there and the unpredictability & willingness to just kill off anyone at a moments notice keeps stuff interesting and keeps that Tomino flair.  I mean even in Turn A half the dudes make no sense in their actions and just shout and scream and do random stuff...but it's entertaining!   

I'm totally fine with people not liking Tomino; he's a love it or hate it guy, kind of like the dudes who make the Crank movies.  I enjoy his style and he gets credit for creating the series in the first place.  Plus Ideon.

Got Oct 2nd marked on my calendar for G RECONGUISTA Tomino comeback!

[Himu]

katz always sucked, though. and in the first half there's an entire episode where he steals a mobile suit. katz sucks.

the first half is boring. it's got a bunch of dumb stuff combined with the silly Four storyline which wasn't very good. The last 10 episodes have good escalation, and the series ends in a very, very depressing manner.

[Bebpo]

Anyone under 15 in Gundam typically sucks by design.  Except Judeau, I think he's like 14/15 or 16 and maybe Toby's that young too.  I think Garrod's like 18.

[Himu]

The best underrage gundam characters are Al and Loran. The kids in 0079 are cute too. Sucks they grew up to suck shit.

[Bebpo]

Whose Al?

[Joe Molotov]

When does Gundam start?

Next week.

[Himu]

Whose Al?

ugh.

[Himu]

how was four storyline amazing? newtype science project number four escapes from newtype facility, falls in love with stupid punk kid with blue hair, pilots a gundam that's black, torches a city, and goes batshit. dies.



The lala storyline in 0079 sucked too. Gundam and romance just doesn't make for good bed fellows. the only gundam romance stories i remotely like are in 0080 and 08th ms.

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Read Baby Steps all the way up to Chp. 232. So glad to finally see Eiichiro have his comeuppance, the America arc was a fun read too. Hopefully he managed to stick to it and win a tournament this time!

Also found and read through One's run of Onepunch-man. Laughed my ass off at just about every chapter. Will have to go through the remake soon enough, this is good stuff.

Volume 2 of that came out yesterday but I haven't had the time to read it. 

edit: volume 2 is also nuts.  Gantz with Bugs is accurate

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I'm a bit behind on Hunter but I just finished 146 and it was great. I bet wherever Andrex is, he enjoyed it too.

[chronovore]

For some reason, I thought you meant Japan, so I ran downstairs and scoured the TV schedule for it for the past 10 minutes. Now I see you're talking about Crunchyroll.

Thanks! Looks like paid channels. I don't have CS/BS, and the others look like pay/cable exclusive. Only ABC Asahi looks like standard broadcast, so I'll see if they have a Kansai version. Or maybe go with NicoNico...

[magus]

wrong place to put this stuff, nothing to see here

[Beezy]

We talk about cartoons in the TV show thread, magus. Rick & Morty isn't new to us.

[magus]

uh... didn't think about posting it there

Rick & Morty isn't new to us.

it's new to me and i want to talk about it!

[Beezy]

Lol just letting you know. #noshots

[Eric P]

boo.  Terra Formars starts at volume 2.  It's going to be a bit to get to the craziness.

edit: it's also heavily censored.  pass

[Mr. Gundam]

Anyone heard if Sunrise is going to stream G-Reco with English subs like they did with Gundam Build Fighters?

edit: Only thing I could find is a French company getting streaming rights for their country. Just don't want to assume it's coming and then get shut out like we did with AGE.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

I knew Pyscho Pass was on Netflix but I didn't know it also had an english dub as well.

BECAUSE I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

G Reko starts in four days and we know nothing about a simulcast like Build Fighters Try...

 

[Joe Molotov]

Tribe Cool Crew is both funky and fresh.

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Reading through the Space Brothers manga at a nice pace cause the anime hiatus had me depressed. I was just about ready to skip through the Hibito in Russia arc cause it's boring as hell, but I was surprised to see that it's only like 2 chapters long in the manga.

Skipped it anyway.    Hibito
