Yeah I get most of you arent anime/manga/asian cinema fans and I wont get into it too deeply on here (well maybe with bep and mr. G) but this is pretty fucking stupid and it's shitting on the fans of the original content as 99.9% of hollywood remakes of eastern properties do. All they do is alienate the built in user base and make potential new fans laugh at the absurdity of it all. Either make something new from the millions of scripts flying around Hollywood or get the fuck out with this shit trend of fucking around with stuff people care about.

hollywood doesn't adapt properties because they want to respect them or take them to a nice dinner party - they do it because there is a group of people who are already invested in it and their marketing will be helped by the general awareness of the property. sometimes the films turn out well, and that's great, but the norm is they are ass and you deal by not giving any shits.

The only other animu ive seen is 3x3 eyes one Macross uguu and recently Spurited Away and Howls Moving Castle :)

It has some really great moments, and the first half, IMO, is fantastic. I mean, the scene where Tetsuo escapes from his cell is so goddamn great. I feel that it kinda falls apart towards the end though.

Tetsuo demolishes a tank with his MIND and rips off a piece from a flag or something to make a CAPE.

The thing about Akira -- as in, the film -- is that it's one awesome action set piece after another. If you ignore the plot and concentrate on the action scenes, it is INSANELY awesome. Even then, I don't see what's so wrong the plot in general.

The manga is considerably better, better paced and better developed, but Akira is a great movie.

It's much like Commando. Commando's plot is distinguished mentally-challenged. But it's so fucking awesome you don't give a shit.

I mean, look what happens in these two hours:

- iconic bike chase
- creepy kids who look like they're 100 years old
- riots
- dude shooting dogs, and getting shot up with a billion bullets
- crazy psychic kid destroys buildings with his MIND
- creepy government experiments
- ANOTHER gang fight
- the assault on the government compound in the sewers, holy shit the MUSIC
- tetsuo's milk/dream nightmare and the awakening of his powers
- tetsuo's rampage on his old friends.
- mass pandomonium and riots.
- tetsuo grabs a fucking cape and nukes a tank, demolishes bridges.
- laser from space.
- kaneda vs tetsuo
- tetsuo morphs into a blob monster
- keneda vs tetsuo AGAIN
- "Kaneda! Kaori's dead! I can't feel her heartbeat!" :bow

Akira OWNS. It is jam-packed with so much COOL SHIT. Whoever tries to dismiss the film because of "story" and "plot" is missing the entire fucking point, and even if they do have a point, this does not discount the utter insanity that occurs in the film.

no no nono onono. that's the kind of thinking that leads to the expendables or that fukin Samus fighting Master Chief video.  vapid action without weight, consequence or context.  it's ejaculating in a bowl of knox jelly in video form.

that's what akira is.  really nice to look at, gorgeous animation and aesthetic, but it's plain dull.  posting clips of the action scenes in 3 minute chunks does more than anything I can say.  it's like loading screens of an incomplete and poorly told story to get to a few scenes of action.  that's not a good movie.  might as well fast forward through most of the movie.

wait that's how I watch speed racer

commando and other 80s action movies are so much more.

i know i'm in the minority, though when it comes to anime and its viewers, other people's opinions mean shit, but i personally love the plot of the film and especially the manga. it is the animation (SEE WHAT I DID THERE) equivalent of blade runner. the story isn't just about the relationship between kaneda and tetseuo, but how the visuals, music, style, mis es scene, and every other little aspect of the film that comes together to create such an amazing world which tells a story itself.

How is Akira dull? How are these scenes poorly told? What's wrong with The Expendables? It was great. Not every action movie has to be like the next one. Certain action films have a certain methodology to their action. Speed is nothing like Aliens, but it's still fantastic. What do you think about martial arts movies? They are, for the most part, the very definition of what you just described. Go watch Ong Bak. Each scene is an excuse to show off Tony Jaa being awesome. Its plot and story are irrelevant, they're just excuses to justify the awesome shit. In comparison, watch Ong Bak 2, where every single piece of action adds something to the whole and is a companion piece to the story.

You really think that in Jackie Chan films, for instance, they really want to tell a story about whatever you're justifying? Fuck no, we want to see Jackie Chan fall off the side of a fucking building and survive the fall. The story is only an excuse for setting up the fall to begin with. That is the beauty of the craft. The same train of thought extends to Akira.

You build up a ridiculous standard for action films for which few action movies will ever be able to meet.

Ong Bak is like this. Dialogue is sparse. Every thing is open for an excuse for Tony Jaa to show off his athletic prowess. By your definitions, this means it's not a good movie.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p310Y0tctr8

Ong Bak 2 is like this. Every single action scene in the film, from beginning to end, is by extension, a form of character or plot development. This does not mean that Ong Bak 2 is a good movie because of this fact whereas OB1 isn't.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgX9Bda-MCw

(yes I know this is a scene from Ong Bak 3, which sucks, just trying to supply an example even if it isn't directly "action")

because you can waste those 2 hours on something else

to be honest for a second, there's nothing wrong with having standards even for the movies you mentioned.  I mention The Expendables because I don't think there is any value in it, even as a distraction.  I don't have many other examples because I like most movies I watch.  I think I even said the second half of Transformers 3 was entertaining in the movie thread.  Nothing wrong with bad movies if you get something out of it, but as far as distractions go, there're endless options out there.

in general if I don't watch one of these summer movies with friends at the theater, I'll only check them out based on feedback of friends or people here.  So I appreciate people mentioning which of these movies are worth watching.  also, whether it matters or not, which it probably doesn't, I never said I disliked Akira.  I just think it's a bad movie is all.

tl;dr: The Expendables sucks and I dislike it

edit:  actually, fuck everything I said.  I tried watching Eat, Pray, Love once.

I think there's a lot to like about the story telling, particularly the characters and their relationships:

Kaneda and Tetsuo
Tetsuo's relationship with the rest of the gang
Kaede and Ryu
The scientist and the children
Tetsuo and the children
Kaori and Tetsuo
The general

What part of the story is unappealing? The characters? They're developed quite nicely. The plot? I think that's debatable. I don't know what people want when they complain about Akira's story telling. Do you want more Akira, as in the title character? What exactly is wrong with it? Seems to me most complaints towards Akira's story telling come entirely from expectations.

himuchan, when i first watched this, there *were* no expectations.  this movie wasn't always the great legendary unicorn of anime.  once upon a time, it was just a new movie.  i watched it because "hey this guy on the cover looks kinda cool, let's watch this". 

to be fair to akira, i'm a bit harder on it because i feel it is the direct grandpappy of all of the problems anime had (pre-the recent moe problem, which is not akira's fault and might be even worse than what akira did).  because of akira, anime producers realized it was okay if your story didn't make any fucking sense at all as long as the animation was nice and you made it sufficiently weird that people could philosophize about it.  i blame it for the ghost in the shell movie, which has almost EXACTLY the same problems and strengths, and evangelion, which was extremely influential and extremely idiotic, among a litany of other shitty anime that at least nobody cares about.

if you can get into it, so be it.  the animation is great and the first half of the movie kicks ass.  the art style is wonderful.  but don't sit there laughing at the goofy shit hollywood is doing to the story with their adaptation, cuz akira never had a story leg to stand on to begin with.

how does not akira not make sense, though? I mean, it make a heck of a lot more sense than Eva. Ghost in the Shell makes tons of sense. It's just BORING.

For the record, I know what Oscar's talking about here. I just don't think Akira is one of them. I'd say what he's talking about is more attributed to Eva more than Akira. Akira is the result of a manga still being made during its development. Evangelion is the product of a dude who was going to kill himself so he sets off to make the most nihilistic, putrid mecha anime ever which goes on to completely change anime. Akira didn't change anime. Evangeion, however, did.

How did it change anime then? Before Akira, anime received most of its revenue from films and toys. The same thing continued after Akira. Evangelion popularized the television format, which created a televised anime boom after it started getting popular and being heralded as the greatest anime tv series of all time. That's without bringing up the pseudo intellectualism Eva brought to the table that became so prominent after its release.

Did Akira help create more mature works of films being created? No, it did not. Golgo 13 is probably far more, if not equally bloody than Akira ever will be and just as controversial in regards to sex. The Professional predates Akira by five years. Even Grave of the Fireflies was released before Akira. How did Akira change anime? It didn't.

Did Akira help create a wave of more cyber punk anime? Sure. But how is that directly attributed to Akira when cyber punk was big during that period to begin with?

Akira is a highly influential anime. However, it didn't change the industry -- literally -- on its head like Evangelion.

Akira probably changed anime for overseas masses by exposing them to anime, but it didn't really change anime. Akira's influence is mostly seen through how it influenced manga, particularly the art, and that's mostly because of this:

If you really think that the other two big 90's "Japanimation" titles,Ghost in the Shell (film) and Ninja Scroll, couldn't have come into being without Akira (film), I don't know know what to tell you, especially when the director Ghost in the Shell did Angel's Egg, a film steeped with Biblical symbolism (which predates Akira's film btw :smug) and later, Patlabor (pre-Akira film :smug). Ghost in the Shell was just business for Mamoru Oshii. Yoshiaki Kawajiri, the director of Ninja Scroll, did Neo-Tokyo (sound familiar? another pre-Akira film anime :smug) and especially Wicked City (another pre-Akira film :smug).

Akira didn't change shit. It's just an anime movie with tremendous backing and funding because the manga was so fucking amazing they wanted everyone to bust a nut while watching it.

Post by: Eric P on December 05, 2011, 12:18:30 PM
uh ok

It didn't change anime as an institution, i'll agree, but Akira is absolutely an important anime film if for nothing else than it really helped open the door for modern Anime fandom in America.  Also, Akira was probably the most technically proficient anime film at that time (my recollection is somewhat hazy. It was certainly the most impressive anime film I had seen up to that point).  You may not consider it a Citizen Kane but you can't dismiss it as Transformers 2.

My overall point is that I think many westerners link Akira to doing many things Akira didn't even innovate or bring to the table, such as the subject matter or the utterly maddening violence that occurs throughout the film. This is understandable, because at a time, Akira was one of the few anime films in circulation in the west, and it was a big hit with the fanbase.

I also think that westerners give too much credit to anime, and little to manga. Akira was originally a manga. Most of its influence is seen through that medium as well. Most anime is based off of manga. Most of the manga authors and artists I follow thank Akira as a main source of inspiration; not the anime film, but the manga.   Akira's film was definitely influential, but I think many western fans overestimate that influence.

So when you're lumping it with stuff like Ghost in the Shell, and saying that Ghost in the Shell was influenced by Akira, I find that entirely false. Because it wasn't. It was its own thing, in a sea of shit doing their own thing.

Absolutely, but even then it was still "before its time" when the film came out in the States in '89-'90.  Ghost In The Shell in 1995 is what really attracted attention.

I'll agree that the film's ending isn't as cohesive or satisfying as the manga's. I'll even concede that many characters don't get developed as much as I'd like to. But I think what's there is still pretty fucking awesome, even if it's Akira: Sparknotes Edition.

Not disputing that. I'm mostly talking about more "serious" anime tv shows. You know what I'm talking about. I think it's debatable Cowboy Bebop would not exist without Evangelion.

Gundam and Macross certainly come to mind first.  But our scope is really limited since for most of us anime starts in the late 80s and early 90s.

True enough.

It seems to me, before Evangelion, stuff with the content that's in that show were mostly left to film and ova's. This is why, for a long period of time, film and ova's were the subset of anime that had the more risque', more adult content. If you wanted to watch an anime about the philosophical shit, you'd stick to a film. But after Evangelion, whew boy. That stuff permeated anime tv like flies against Jinfash's unclean bidet infused asshole.

I temper my praise nowadays, and for some folks I just recommend the manga / the Rebuild films, respectively.

I don't remember when Evangelion came out, but when I was getting into anime in the last 90s, my nerdier friends never recommended it.  I watched it later on and ended up liking it quite a bit.  I'm being hypocritical here because of what I said earlier, but I can appreciate Evangelion's dedication to being up its own ass.

Other than Ghibli films, Akira, and GitS, it was stuff like Jin-Roh, Vampire Hunter D, and Ninja Scrolls.

I think Ninja Scrolls was when I stopped listening to their recommendations.

Ghost in the Shell was marketed on the strength of Akira.  If you don't have Akira you don't have a lot of money pouring into Anime during the 90s, you don't get the big budget series aimed at selling in America (Cowboy Bebop for instance).

This is a fair point, and exactly why Akira is influential. But when I say Akira changed anime, I'm talking about how anime is made. Akira is culturally relevant, but I don't think I can say with a straight face that Akira really changed anime. Not in the way Oscar said it did.

I'm like 60-70% through IDEON's story in SRWA3 and I still don't see any connection between IDEON and Eva.  Maybe Anno ripped the ending of Eva from the ending of Ideon, but otherwise they don't seem very similar in the shows themselves.

And, like Himu said, Mamoru Oshii was no stranger to deliberately-paced, high-minded scifi. And Ghost in the Shell was more a product of Blade Runner's influence and the cyperpunk novels of the 80's. Shirow might have been influenced by the Akira manga though, it came out about year before GitS started.

The first GitS film is interesting, in that it didn't do a whole lot in Japan, but really caught on everywhere else.
Ghost in the Shell was marketed on the strength of Akira.  If you don't have Akira you don't have a lot of money pouring into Anime during the 90s, you don't get the big budget series aimed at selling in America (Cowboy Bebop for instance).

This is a fair point, and exactly why Akira is influential. But when I say Akira changed anime, I'm talking about how anime is made. Akira is culturally relevant, but I don't think I can say with a straight face that Akira really changed anime. Not in the way Oscar said it did.

the success of akira changed anime the same way the success of western games has changed the landscape of the videogame industry in japan, e.g. square enix and capcom. it didn't necessarily change the industry as a whole in japan in terms of what producers and studios were puting out, but having just the few number of eyes in the states gazing over towards the direction of japan for something that was so scarce and highly demanded did eventually shift the entire industry.

remember when this was the extent of fan service you'd get in an anime series? hell the only other 'fan service' found in the original macross was the closeup of minmei's ass in the first episode, though that did serve an actual purpose in terms of setting up the characters.

Fanservice in TV anime didn't really start getting bad until the late 90's, when the harem genre really started picking up steam. But even that's tame compared to where TV anime has gone in the past few years. Most of the series that peddle that sort of thing are terrible to begin with, so it's easy to avoid them, but it's depressing to see how that's basically become the industry's biggest source of money [outside of shounen series and K-On].

I think there's a difference between nudity and fan service.  Fan service is more like having a scene dedicated to showing panties, or it's just unnecessary.  and then there are moeblob characters.

Well, anime back in the 80's and 90's wasn't just for anime fans. You can look at the vids in this thread, on this very page and see that. Today's anime is aimed specifically at a subset of anime fans, a very tiny minority.

Current guilty-pleasure haremuuuuu animu are Boku Wa Tomodachi Ga Sukunai and Maken-Ki.  The latter is just absurd and bizarre in its selective-censoring.  Boku would be a lot better if they ditched the annoying loli-nun and had less fan-service. 

Also started watching Ben-To, which is about people fighting over pre-prepared dinners at supermarkets after they are placed on half-price discount every evening.  WEIRDNESS.

Gundam AGE - From what I've seen, it's pretty good, but Bebpo and some others say that the past few episodes haven't been too great. I'd wait it out for it to reach at least 25 episodes so we know whether or not i'll be worth suggesting.

Gundam Unicorn - Great animation and fights but LOL story and characters. Gundam is better than this, but if you have a hankerin' for UC-era Gundam it's worth watching.

The art you posted is by the same guy who did Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  That's what caught my eye about Boku, but it turns out that he just did the character designs/promo art and has nothing to do with the story.  I didn't expect much but like the premise, which is about a group of students who have no friends and want to make them...so they start a club for making friends and wackiness ensues.  There really isn't much in the way of stupid fan-service-as-plot going on, but there's more than one episode with the characters in bathing suits and the blonde-haired girl is too damn bouncy.  It's a distraction that I can only think was done to get otaku buying character goods or whatever.

Also started watching Ben-To, which is about people fighting over pre-prepared dinners at supermarkets after they are placed on half-price discount every evening.  WEIRDNESS.

That's the ... entire premise?  :S

Yes!   :lol  So you have all these fighting game-like characters brawling in the supermarket, and then bizarre characters like "The boar," a huge fat lady who pushes her shopping cart into everybody, knocking them out of the way.  Crazy shit.  I've only seen a few episodes and there's been plenty of male support characters, but the intro still makes it look like it could delve into the dreaded HAREMUUUUU.

Quote from: wikipedia
Sen gets Yō and Hana to join the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club and starts training them in the ways of Bento Brawling. During one of the supermarket visits, they encounter a 'boar', a fat woman who raids all the half-priced bentos before a battle starts. The next day, Yō meets Yū 'Wizard' Kaneshiro, who encourages Yō to stand up to a boar so that the bento battle can properly take place. Yō comes to understand the pride of the 'wolves' and comes out with his first victory, obtaining a bento with an honor seal from the 'God of Discounts'. Yō then returns to the clubroom, where Sen congratulates him on his first victory and shows him a scrapbook showing the victories Yū managed to obtain.

"Anymore?"   :lol

In other words, it's about social rejects/outcasts.  The main dude looks like a delinquent (he is HAFFU with an English mother), one girl is rich and shunned by the other girls because of her attitude, another is a genius who can't fit in with other kids, his sister is an otaku who cosplay as some magical girl-vampire 24 hours a day, etc.

One huge problem with the character design is that, this being TEH ANIMU, you have all these characters with multi-colored hair and eyes.  The main character is specifically pointed out as "scary-looking" because of his blonde hair and such, even though the rich girl also has blonde hair and blue eyes and is supposed to be 100% Japanese.   :spin

And it is, one of my favorite anime series. It's like Japanese Batman mixed with scifi/noir stories. Things get a bit too wild near the end of season 1 and in season 2, but when it's one it's really ON. Well worth watching. Amazing soundtrack too:

The Big O is great.  Same with the show that inspired it GIANT ROBO

Gundam Unicorn is probably not a bad place for people to get into gundam when it actually finishes.  It's flashy, looks great, has lots of mecha battles, great music, and is short and easy to follow (although some of the UC connections will be lost if you haven't seen previous UC Gundams).  But the finale of Unicorn is still a year or two off if they really do the final volume as a feature length film and we have to wait for the home release of it.

I do kind of agree with you there, but a gritty, noir detective anime is a much harder sell than a gritty, noir detective anime with GIANT ROBOTS SMASHING STUFF AND LASERS. Though a Monster series did get made, so what do I know? Anyway, the robot fights ARE pretty cool, as is the music that's more fitting for giant robot fights.

Oh, and this is probably my favorite episode of The Big O:

The Big O is only 26 episodes [half of which didn't come out until several years later] and it's certainly not the same thing over and over.

What does this mean exactly? Nothing I saw in Ergo Proxy screamed "edgy" to me, it wasn't like they were tossing around explicit sex and violence or trying to push some kind of radical storyline. It was mostly, through the middle of the show, a series of just really weird, random stuff [like the great game show episode].

It was the main characters travelling through a twisted, surreal parody of the real world, ruled over by lonely godlings with delusions of greatness, which was at least as interesting as what most cyberpunk works go for.

Ergo Proxy goes a different route, showing a decayed world that has fractured into isolated zones, each controlled by a powerful being which imparts its own quirks and concepts into their zone. I was a bit disappointed that the show went away from where it seemed to be going in the first 5-6 episodes, but the middle half was still interesting in its own right.

I'll never like it, it lost focus too much imo. Hey I didn't even mind when Samurai Champloo did it, nor Casshern sins, nor michiko to hatchin . In fact I loved those. Proxy just seemed really artificially "deep" to me. It's like the director wanted to put some random arbitrary hidden subtext in ever scene and none of it worked, nor was it ever relevant.

I know I'm not being terribly clear vocalizing how I feel about it, but best I can say is it felt very manufactured and not like a natural story.

stuff like cowboy bebop, gundam, are pretty good in English.

I mean, I watch subbed anime, but I just don't see how one is better than the other and most of the time the Japanese voice track has weird shit.

I think the one exception I can think of is One Piece. One Piece in Japanese is amazing because the voice work is so fucking good. The funi dub of One Piece is great, though.

Anyone checked out Towa no Quon yet?  I didn't even realize it had come out on video yet, but apparently ep1-3 are (I think it's going to be 5 parts?).

Towa no Quon is the latest big budget Bones Studio B production.  Studio B did Cowboy Bebop movie (2001) -> Scrapped Princess (2003) -> Eureka Seven (2005-2006) -> Xam'd (2008-2009) -> Towa no Quon (2011-2012); they're the major animation studio in Bones.

Towa no Quon is a 5 part theatrically released OAV series similar to how Kara no Kyokai (Garden of Sinners) was released in theaters and Break Blade as well.


It's an action thingy like all their stuff.  And sadly no mecha, but more like sentai and mutants and stuff.  Character designs are by the Bebop/Wolfs Rain/Dark Than Black guy.

Skip to the 4min mark for action scene with Akira arm

I haven't heard any impressions yet and I haven't had the time to check it out (might just wait until all 5 eps are out to watch at once like Break Blade).  All I know is that it bombed in sales like everything coming out of Bones for the last 5 years since the original FMA.  I heard the first OAV blu-ray sold like 700 copies total. 

Anyone seen it?

I can see why dubs could be bad, but I dunno, it's not limited to white people speaking.  Like with Hunter X Hunter, there is an entirely new cast for the new anime, and Hisoka seem different character because of the new voice actor.  So yeah.  I prefer the FLCL dub because of how perfect the cast is and that's my favorite anime.

There have been Towa no Quon trailers on the Gundam UC discs, and the episodes/films are available on the Japanese Playstation Store. I haven't heard much more about them than that.

I really wish someone would pick up Break Blade for North America.

Quote
Haruhi Suzumiya is the general name for a series of light novels written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito which were subsequently adapted into other media. The story follows the title character Haruhi Suzumiya, a high school girl who can unconsciously change reality, and her strange antics with her school club, the SOS Brigade, which she founded to investigate mysterious events. Haruhi forcibly drafts her cynical classmate Kyon, who narrates the series, and similarly recruits three additional members into her club: the silent bibliophile Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the friendly transfer student Itsuki Koizumi. These members soon reveal themselves to Kyon as the extraordinary characters Haruhi is seeking, sent by their various organizations to observe her and hold her reality warping powers in check by maintaining the illusion of a normal life.

Well, it was pre season 2, at least. I zoned out after reading about what happened with that mess, so I might have missed where the fan base started turning away from it.

Haruhi was moe filth at its core, only sometimes it put that moe filth in decent stories.   

It's not even like Working (season 1 at least), which's entire purpose is to mock dumb moe conventions.  Genshiken too but since that's an anime/manga about anime/manga nerds, it's more self aware and comments on moe, than really using moe.

I just really don't see it. K-On is moe to the core, without a doubt. It's slice of life that exists for little reason other than moe. Haruhi actually does things with its characters, gives them situations to deal with and actual development of personality [to some extent]. It does play to its audience at times, but that's cetainly not what the entire show is about.

The punchy punch girl in Working annoys me, but I really like the series. Bakemonogatari and Durarara had some moe in it, but fuck were those brilliant.

Linkz you're being too harsh on Haruhi. I feel people hate it cause it helped popularize moe not so much for what it is, a ditzy stupid supernatural school adventure.

If you want to talk pure moe trash look no further than Toradora.

I said it put them in decent stories! most anime isn't even decent.  And while I liked it, and first season of K-on, actually, I'm comfortable enough calling them what they are without lowering my opinion.  Haruhi plays with the trope more, in that there is a history behind why a character is tsundere and sometimes acts self-aware, but that doesn't absolve it.  The only defense I'd accept is "it's not moe, but it extensively uses moe tropes;" effectively the same thing 95% of the time.

Moe, to me, is a series with few [if any] male characters, huge emphasis on girl-friendship, lack of drama or negative emotions. Everything played as absolutely safe as possible, with nothing in the story that forces the characters give up anything or make any sacrifices or even CHANGE. It panders to the basement-dwelling nerdlings desire to "protect" innocence, cuteness, and purity. I just don't see how Haruhi can possible fit into the mold.

Moe has to do more with the female character's personalities/design....it's not a genre.  A lot of that harem crap is certainly moe though...if not all of it. 

What just amazes me is how harem comics n' shows get recycled on a yearly basis, and nobody seems to notice or care that's it the same old shit over and over again.  HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT GUY IS SURROUNDED BY GIRLS BUT DOESN'T WANT TO GO AFTER THEM THEY GO AFTER HIM INSTEAD AND HE DOES NOTHING AND OH WACKY CHARACTERS TOO AND OH BEACH EPISODE AND OH HOT SPRINGS EPISODE NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE END ~FIN~

Moe has to do more with the bubbly-bouncy-energetic girl personalities.

That's certainly part of it, but I don't think that alone really ecapsulates the entire definition.

And I don't really think Haruhi [the character] can really be labeled "tsundere", she's more like...totally self-absorbed with minimal awareness beyond her own pursuits.

HxH is amazing when Togashi isnt being a hideous fucking troll. IMO Yu Yu Hakusho and HxH will always be figthing for top shounen of all time and creation. I have a soft spot for Getbackers too.

How many chapters?

There's quite a lot and there's multiple series.  Battle Angel is nine volumes long, then there's the very small Ashen Victor, followed by Last Order, which retcons the end of Battle Angel and keeps it going.  I think it's around 15-16 volumes long now; still on-going.

Everything has moe, everything. There isnt a single tv show/movie/anime/manga without it, what people refer to as "moe" anime are those that turn up the fan service or knowingly try and appeal to the most neckbearded neckbeards.

Star Driver continues Bones' tradition of having pure bomba status in both the Japanese and US anime market.

I got my vol.1 today and tried to do a UPC scan to add it to my collection, and it's not even in the system.  Meaning no one else using the database even owns it.  Then I go and check online and despite it having come out a week ago, there isn't a single review on the internet.  Blu-ray.com doesn't even have any user reviews of it!

Man, nobody is buying this  :lol

No, you're just suggesting him bad comedy anime.

I've already suggested him Genshiken.

I'd also suggest he check out Detroit Metal City and Cromartie.

In other words, never suggest blindly. School Rumble is anti-Wrath. Always consider the person's taste when giving suggestions. School Rumble's not that great anyways, though it's a guilty pleasure.

This thread has taught me that we all have different views of what moe is :lol

@General topic of the moment.
God I love 80's and 90's anime, captain tsubasa, the harlocks, the space battleships, the spriggans, the ghosts in the shell, the yu yu hakusho, the black jacks and such. But to pretend that a fat heap of shit dint come out around these shows is revisionist history and nostalgia glasses at it's peak. You guys most likely weren't exposed to the shit that came out as less shows traveled west during this period.

With the advent of the internet you now just get to see how much mind numbing crap comes out as well. It's always been this way, always. The amount of great shows in the 2000's are on par, if not more than the 80's/90's. The Black Lagoons, Bakemonogatari's, FLCL's, Ghost in the Shell SAC, Girl who leaped through time, Ghibli stuff, Sword of the Stranger, durarara!, Baccano, xxxHolic,  Garden of Sinners and what have you.

I'm happy to go down memory lane at any time, as I said I love the anime of that period, but let's not pretend modern anime is in any way inferior.

Things went south hard aroung 2006, the American anime industry started tanking and the moe/harem/fanservice fad hit in the Japan like a 20-ton whale dropped from the tip of the Empire State Building. The last few years of the 00's were pretty dreadful, lots of really horrible shows and only a few that were worth watching. I've seen some improvement over the past year or so, but it's still a far cry from the heady days of 90's TV anime and 80's OVAs/Movies.

Okay, I'm curious about this, because I haven't really watched much anime. I've seen maybe a dozen movies, plus most of the Miyazaki stuff.

So in the 80s you had stuff like the original Vampire Hunter D, right? And the 90s would have had DBZ, Gundam and whatnot?

What do all the terms mean? I'm guessing harem = one male character, lots of females? And moe = pedo trash? Why did the anime studios stop catering to people who want to watch giant robots blowing shit up in favor of the dudes who want to wank to 6 year olds?

90's had just as surreal shit as the 80's. The best of the 80's were in ova's and film. That's where anime mostly blossomed and you can find the best of the craft in that decade. The best of the 90's were mostly on tv, though ova's and films were still prominent and still quality.

Gundam was popularized in the 70's/80's.

They thought moe would mean more money, in an appeal to target a specific market. but a concentration of any market always means less sales, so they've made it more of a niche than it was before. think of it like how comic books are with super hero comics. same shit, different type of audience, but similar frustrations.

Most of the problems we're talking about are mostly in regards to anime on television. ova's and movies are still high quality and just as diverse as in the past. manga is still kickn' and just as awesome as in the past. the problems we're discussing are mostly relegated to televised anime productions.

Well, I mean they've been selling anime body pillows since the dawn of weeabo. I'm sure it was a sales driven trend.. Which is disturbing. I think I need to get my hands on some of this 80s-90s animu you guys keep praising.

they thought (and still think) that the minority are what drives sales. and they do, in some way, mostly in the form of merch (like those pillows you mentioned). it doesn't help that in japan there are currently more single people than ones who are with a partner. i see the rise of the moe trend to be a completely related to such statistics.

Of course, the one outlier in all of this is One Piece.

37 million copies of the manga have been sold.

Just this year.

And it is a farcry from moe, and in actuality the spiritual successor to Dragon Ball, both in terms of sales and spirit.

Is Unicorn good? I remember watching the original trailer back when it released and it looked pretty great but I always find myself feeling burned when I try to watch these shows. I think I gave up on 00 half way through cause it got so awful.

Innocence was the first thing I'd seen which looked like it was basing its designs on current Shirow stylings. Many of the mech or environmental designs looked they could have been straight out of one of that era's art books or calendars.

SAC is one of the greatest anime television series of all time. GitS (first film) isn't approaching it in terms of quality. I think SAC hits the best highs of what GitS stands for, without coming off nearly as pretentious as GitS does. Then again, I haven't seen GitS since I was a teenager, but boy howdy did it put me to sleep. SAC is one of the few anime tv shows I'd ALMOST put on par with Cowboy Bebop.

How many episodes is the Ghost In The Shell tv show?

Oh and Lyte I got the Battle angel manga, will watch the movie before reading it.

The movie is a condensed version of the first two main stories.  I'd read the first few volumes of the manga first, and if you like it, watch the movie.

I'm almost done with Last Order (up to the current chapter).  It is CRAZY-LONG and has tons and tons of flashback/background stuff on multiple characters, but it's been a really fun read.

The same author also did a series called "Aqua Knight" that I'd recommend, although it is unfinished and "ends" abruptly.

For SAC, are the first and second season the same antagonist? I've caught a few episodes while it ran on adult swim years ago. I thought the antagonist who quoted catcher in the rye made a super interesting plotline.

That's the first season. The second season has a different antagonist.

I remember downloading the entire show back when it was being released. I marathoned it over Christmas break while in graduate school...

I forgot to download the final episode before coming home from my grad school apartment in Ellensburg. My parents and girlfriend (now wife) both didn't have broadband at the time. That cliffhanger sucked.

The 00's were actually a great time for anime, AT FIRST. Things went south hard aroung 2006, the American anime industry started tanking and the moe/harem/fanservice fad hit in the Japan like a 20-ton whale dropped from the tip of the Empire State Building. The last few years of the 00's were pretty dreadful, lots of really horrible shows and only a few that were worth watching. I've seen some improvement over the past year or so, but it's still a far cry from the heady days of 90's TV anime and 80's OVAs/Movies.

But I'm not above recommending newer shows, in fact I just recommended several in an earlier post.

I miss the period in the early 00s when I first got decent speed broadband and was downloading everything under the sun because it was all new to me. I can't even remember half the shit I downloaded and never watched. Then everything released here locally was either robots or fighting or harem and I lost interest.

I'm completely lost on what's decent these days. I wouldn't mind picking up a new series but my time is limited. I think the last thing I started to watch was Welcome to the NHK? Oh there was also Genshiken, and I never even knew there was a second series

I think Try was kind of weak personally since at the end of Next they established the crew as virtually unstoppable in the face of Gods and thus pretty much nothing was a threat to them, but with Revo it was just nice to see the original cast together and destroying everything in their path again since it'd been a while.  8)

"Some" is the problem here.  I bought and hacked an Apple TV2 for XBMC, but it generally can't play any anime .MKVs...which is the format everything is usually released in.  -_- 

XBMC also started having all these buffering issues after an update some months back, so I end up watching compatible files on my PS3 via a flash drive or just hooking my laptop up to my TV.

The funny thing is that Air Video streams .MKV files to my iPhone GREAT and I can even then stream from the phone to the Apple TV, but stuff loads too slowly that way.

Indeed she is. The last adaptation I watched was Space Battleship Yamato which was great till the ending sequence, hoping for something of the same quality.

It's not so much about Kodai dying but everyone and their mother suiciding themselves that became stupid, when Saito went out like a boss I was going to shed a manly tear but then oh snap everyone else dies as well :( They should have left it as maybe Saito and Kodai having that moment but for fucks sake how can I care about anyones death when they all have silly me too suicidal streaks

The funny thing is that Air Video streams .MKV files to my iPhone GREAT and I can even then stream from the phone to the Apple TV, but stuff loads too slowly that way.

Can you load videos on your iPhone with that? I downloaded some app called Sub Video and it works okay, but some times it's kinda janky (I had a few videos that that were all skippy after I loaded them).

I think I have that -edited- and the first Mezzo on DVD somewhere.  Never saw them.  The first Overfiend was fucking hilarious.  Total LMAO-fest and I fail to see how the hell people fapped to tentacle-reepu.  If you want to see worse (in the LOL-sense), check out the LIVE-ACTION versions of that stuff.   :lol

Hentai is usually badly-drawn sex with lack of plot.  Ecchi stuff tends to be more...creative?  I guess.  Most of the harem shit recycles the same stuff over and over again too.

I watched some of Sora No Otoshimono and it struck me as a perverted Ah My Goddess, only the main angel-chick has zero personality and is like a robot.

Okay, so I gotta know, what is it with Japan and their love for Snidely Whiplash-esque villains? Seriously, I can't remember the last time I saw an anime with a villain that didn't slide very neatly into every aspect of that trope. Just once I'd like a villain that isn't constantly smirking, as arrogant as a room full of politicians, and evil just because.

I feel like I've made this post several times before...

I don't buy ANY anime anymore cuz of TEH INTERNETZ.  If Detroit Metal City and Panty & Stocking came out on Blu-Ray here I would make an exception, but that's about it.

Last stuff I bought was Ghibli and monogatari. Looking out for Natsume specials and waiting for Black Lagoon - Roberta's Blood Trail to be done. Also before that bought Nodame Cantabile, Black Jack (which is playing again this season) Durarara.

Post by: Momo on December 22, 2011, 02:01:02 PM
You have a pretty good list there. Gurren Lagann needs to get out though and E7 is far too emo and cruddy. Surprised at no Wolfs Rain nor GitS. 

In no order for me :
Gits SAC
Natsume
xxxHolic
Durarara!
Bakemonogatari
Black Lagoon
Yugo the Negotiator
Samurai Champloo
FLCL
Beck
Planetes
Real Drive
Full Metal Panic

TV series only

EDIT: shitty spelling

Post by: Bebpo on December 22, 2011, 02:04:06 PM
Wolfs Rain is pretty bad.  It's great looking and sounding, but the story was almost FFXIII toriyama bad.  One of my least favorite Bones though I recognize it for the artistic merit.

SAC & 2nd Gig are awesome.  Should go somewhere on that. 


Gurren should be somewhere in a top10-20 because the first half is the best Super Robot show since Giant Robo.  Well directed, stylish, great comedy and action.  The 2nd half is weak, but the first half is strong enough to get it on a list.

And E7 is amazing, only weakness is that they cut their budget because the show was bombing so ep28-the last 3-4 eps are really cheap looking.  E7 has such a good story, original cast, great direction, great art & music; just amazingly epic show that's rarely made.

Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Momo on December 22, 2011, 02:09:52 PM
Yeah Wolfs Rain is crud, the OSt is all it had going for it for me. I'm just surprised as most people I know fondle it's penis hard.

Agreed, it's in my list :o

I disagree, the second half is shit tastically bad on a Death Note level, it's like giving betheshda developer of the year with all it's bugs. That being said I wasn't a fan of the first part either, but it was objectively fun. I like real mecha shows not wanna be comedies :/

E7 is way too emo and tries to be "deep" although there is no real depth. It gives me that same try hard impression as Ergo Proxy.

Post by: Bebpo on December 22, 2011, 02:23:26 PM
I think E7 does have a lot of depth and it's held up well on rewatches.  At its core the series is about a group of well-developed characters who go through realistic human drama situations and it's also a great coming of age romance tale.  It's also an interesting sci-fi story. 

I don't find the show emo, but whatever.  Renton gets treated like shit early on and freaks out when he finds out he's killing people, so his "emo"ness makes sense.  Eureka is timid but has her reasons.  Holland has his issues for being an abusive pseudo-father.

It's got a great cast and is full of amazing scenes.  Also has some of my favorite voice acting performances.

The last 10 seconds of that clip are insane.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Momo on December 22, 2011, 02:30:36 PM
I have to disagree. Renton and Holland especially are stubborn, spoilt characters that doesnt deal with their issues and let's it linger all through the show just to have their moment of redemption/forgiveness later. I agree this is real and human, it's just boring as fuck and about as deep as a puddle. It's clear and obvious emotional reactions. a character like Yuuko (xxholic), Natsume, Rock + Revy have far more emotional complexity.

I used to feel that way too.  Then I moved a few times and found out what a pain in the ass hauling around movies and video games was.  Plus now they take up space in two rooms and I really don't even care about 90% of that stuff anymore.  I haven't lost interest, but I'd prefer to have everything digitally, or when it comes to gaming, just stick with the current systems.  I can't remember the last time I played PS1, PS2, GC, etc.

Faster paced, shorter, less explanation and more actiony.

Both seasons have their ups and down but if you didn't like S1 ending, wait till you see S2.

But after that you watch the awesome 4 OVA episodes and you will never remember that ending.

Then you read the awefucksome manga and you will be demanding season 3 every day.

oh wow, I didn't realize the new E7 thing was a full on TV show.  duckroll lied last night and told me it was a manga sequel.

This has potential to be good.  Especially with the death of mecha tv anime over the last 5 years.  Aquarion & new E7 are about it with Unicorn and Break Blade for OAV/Movies.  There's also that AGE thing but meh.

Ok please tell me there's some anime I can find on netflix or streaming to watch and kill me some time.

I do not want anything that requires that I enjoy anime tropes.

I like:
Akira film
Ghost in the Shell film
Most Miyazaki and Ghibli films
Wings of Honnemaise
Grave of the Fireflies
Kon's stuff
Cowboy Bebop
and I sort of liked Fantastic Children

What I DISLIKE:
Ghost in the Shell series, SAC and the ilk
Gurran Lagaan
Anything with squeaky girl voices
Anything with psychophilobabble

I'd prefer drama. I am ok with some comedy. I watched flcl and it was okay.

Does anyone really like Grave of the Fireflies?

No, hold on, it's obviously a great film but it's so depressing I can't say I like it. I appreciate it, but it's so damn soul crushing
It didnt depress me actually. I just felt incalculable amounts of rage Seita for being a jackass. That overwhelmed the sadness. I can't say I "like" the movie, as you say it's soul crushing, but the mere fact that it made me and intended to make me have emotional reactions means it succeeded.

Perfect Blue is also soul crushing in many ways, but I love it. This reminds me I need to watch the two live action adaptations of Grave.

It's decent fun if you're a big DMC fan.  Focuses on a few select chapters and mainly the Jack Ill Dark story.  Gene Simmons is Jack.   :lol  The actor who plays Negishi/Krauser does a good job at playing both roles convincingly.

The anime adaption is PERFECT.  Exactly like the manga.

Watching/Re-Watching:

Choose your own adventure edition of Evangelion
Just finished re watching this for the bajillionth time. hint: I like the ending with robots and fighting

Soul Eater
The BluRay releases are most excellent

Kind of irritated I had heard of a Last Exile BluRay release a while back, it was on release charts for a while then just vanished completely. I noticed on Netflix LE is offered in HD- havent tried it yet but WHATTHEFUCKGIVEITTOMEEEEE

Also been uguuing it up on the music front with:

no, while I watch SEED now and again its a guilty pleasure. The movies iirc are just the series condensed. 00 is pretty awesome imo, and if you havent seen 08th ms team thats required watching. Oh, Unicorn is good too. Distantmantra is the resident expert though obviously

Question:  Did you like SEED?  Depending on how you felt about SEED makes it easier to recommend the next Gundam. 

Also the movies are just recap movies of the TV show.  No point in watching.  They're good for years down the line when you want to rewatch the series but don't want to spend the time to watch 50eps.

This is not a really good early Gundam.  Same with Turn A or any of the slower paced ones.  They're good when you're into Gundam and don't care about pacing.  Same applies to ZZ and X and a whole lot of them!

The OVA was ridiculously depressing, going out of it way to be as depressing as possible. As in, unrealistically depressing.

And Top Gun is the opposite of depressing, so it's not the best comparison.

Probably because I'm leaving Japan, suddenly I am experiencing a mild resurgence in anime interest. Now that I know it's going away, I want it.

Unfortunately, I started by trying to watch Wonderful Days, which sucked balls. I put my review of it in the "movies you've seen recently" thread.

For now, crisis averted: my interest in anime is abated for another week. I guess I'll just watch stuff on Hulu once I am back in the USA, as a tribute to irony.

Post by: Great Rumbler on January 02, 2012, 12:36:20 AM
I actually kinda of liked Wonderful Days. Of course, I haven't seen it in more than seven years, so I probably just thought the animation was cool or something. And it was an imported DVD, so it had that added element of making me feel like I was watching some amazing, obscure movie. I probably watched the trailer for it at least 20 times.

The Fairy Tail fights are dope to watch. Shame TV Tokyo went on a rampage on YouTube removing content. I like to re-watch Natsu vs Jellal (still available, plus a couple other fights)

From what I saw of One Piece fights, Fairy Tail takes a steamer on it. I'm not interested in story and characters, I want to see some badass moves and ass beatings.

One Piece is all about story. That's what separates it from other shounen crap where every fight is just a fight because we need a fight because people like fights. In One Piece, fights are mostly used for plot extension and character development on top of being fights. Comparing One Piece to other shounen is silly sense it has completely different goals; One Piece is a pre-planned story that continuously unwraps as you go through it, other shounen like Naruto or Fairy Tail are made up on the fly to appeal to people who just want action. If you want action, don't read or watch One Piece, though it has action-packed moments, it is not about the fights and never has been.

I usually agree with you, but hell no Stringy :lol

The champions road intro sequence is legendary for a reason =P

All that is, is the final bout of Ippo recapped, right?
that entire sequence is the opening to champions road. idk I cant recall if that fight was portrayed in the regular anime. I kinda stuck to the manga till mowgli appeared.

I actually kinda of liked Wonderful Days. Of course, I haven't seen it in more than seven years, so I probably just thought the animation was cool or something. And it was an imported DVD, so it had that added element of making me feel like I was watching some amazing, obscure movie. I probably watched the trailer for it at least 20 times.
It was that trailer that I remembered from way back when, and the only reason I picked it up instead of a million more recent things, or much, much older ones. It was pretty impressive, IIRC. Then again, The Lost Boys had a pretty epic trailer, and wasn't very good.

Wow. I knew the anime boom was winding down, but I didn't think a major player would be taken out. Or is this just corporate restructuring for tax purposes?

ADV Video, THE previous major player, was taken out a few years back. It's nothing new. This is most unfortunate but I think Bandai-Ent could have saved themselves  a bit if they marketed Gundam properly in the past. It's a gold mine for kids and toys and they fucked up.

I had no idea Sentai had the rights to Broken Blade.

edit: All six films are on Comcast OnDemand for 99 cents each (SD only, English dub). Watching a preview of the English dub, it's really bad.

Funimation bought some of their licences in 2008, but everything that was left after that [including licences, production, The Anime Network, and staff] were picked up by Sentai Filmworks and its various arms in 2009:

Once again, the typical disconnect between Japanese corporate expectations and American market reality. Despite the best efforts of Japanese companies to force the American anime market to accept 80$ single DVD/BD releases, such a price point is well out of the range the majority of American fans are willing to pay.

Now, instead of admitting to their own folly, they'd rather close up shop and take their ball home before they lower their prices.

Man, if they cancel the 2nd half of Star Driver I'm going to be REALLY pissed off.  Don't want to own half a series.  Glad I picked up Xam'd from Rightstuf the other week.

Guess I'm never buying Unicorn unless they sell all Gundam licenses to funimation (which would actually be AWESOME because I'm sure they'd release every gundam in the US at reasonable pricing).

Ok, did some searching and luckily SD vol.2 makes the cutoff of pre-February BV releases.  Crazy they are releasing it so soon after the first half.  Put in a pre-order for it for $30 at Rightstuf and ordered Escaflowne Movie from there since Amazon is sold out.

Grabbed Darker Than Black S2+OAV set from Amazon as well just because I don't trust anime in the US at this point.  The market is going to be gone any day now.  At least I can get Eva 3.33 from HK if Funi tanks.

Funimation recently went private again [breaking away from Navarre] after Gen Fukunaga brought in some rich sugar daddies to put up some big money. No idea what they're profits look like, but they did recently partner with Nico Nico Douga for increased streaming and home video licencing.

there's a lot of shitty movies out there, doesn't mean they should stop releasing movies.


I don't even understand your argument.  What is the alternative, the current anime market where 95% of shows are never brought over and released in english?  Where the only way to watch anime anymore is to pirate it?

Hulu itself has like 500 billion anime series. Hell, look at funi's online site. Hulu has every localized episode of One Piece for example, and I get to watch One Piece one hour after it airs in Japan, FOR FREE, localized in English, and LEGALLY.

The REAL TRUF here is that I'd buy some anime IF:

1. What I wanted came out here.
2. What I wanted came out here on blu-ray.
3. It was priced decently.

I'm okay with there being less and less stuff that suits me these days.  I got into anime when I was *11*.  I'm 30 now.  I can accept that I'm no longer part of the target audience.  Despite that, some stuff I like still comes out, and there's plenty of great comics out there.  So whatever.

I only buy stuff I know I'd rewatch (goes for all movies/TV series), which isn't much.  I have a lot of anime from the 90s and early 2000s, but that's only because I got it dirt cheap.  Back then I'd also buy stuff because there wasn't a way to watch it on TV or online first.

What happens when you can't buy your "top 20 shit" because they don't release it in the US?  And why can't you accept that this is more important than YOU and that some people like to own anime in English.  You are saying the same thing as "why release dvds/blurays of hollywood movies?  I only own a few and don't care if they went netflix streaming only".

There's a reason why people prefer to watch something on a bluray than watching it on netflix streaming or hulu plus.  Quality is still way better on a disc.

I'm not talking about fansubs! 

I support fansubs ;)  Hell, I used to sub stuff myself.  I'm saying people pirate because they have to, in order to get high quality versions of the shows.  At least when BDs are released in the states it gives a legal method to do the same thing and support the creators.  When BDs stop coming over, you're left with the best quality option being the bootlegs, which is a sucky outcome.

Lord Illpulatso!!!!!

There is some element of truth to what you say MAF. Outside of anime message boards and anime communities the more casual watchers would likely go for a dub. The thing is though anime/manga outside of japan doesnt have a large casual following like video games. I feel the majority of buyers are exposed to anime information in the form of friends/boards/communities in some form or another.

Excel Saga is kinda bad outside of a few episodes.

I remember loving the series when I had the first dvd, so when I got the rest of the series, outside of the baseball episode, I was disappointed to find I didn't really like any of the other episodes nearly as much as the first five, which are golden.

I can handle a little bit of animu. For example I really enjoyed watching the first run FMA and they throw in silly anime shit on that, but then shit gets real when it came to the actual plotline.

Planetes has some silly from time to time, but not nearly as much as FMA. I think you'll really enjoy it.

I got my K-On! BDs since they're going OOP.  I didn't realize they were like 3eps each.  It had been a while since I bought vol.1/2 and for some reason I thought vol.1/2 = S1, vol.3/4 = S2 and thus the entire show was brought over.  But nope, I just realized I paid like $120 for one 14ep season.  In comparison I also get Darker than Black 13ep S2 + Entire 4ep OAV for...$26.

Conclusion = fuck Bandai USA.  Good riddance. 

I don't even understand K-On! pricing.  Star Driver is 13eps per volume for $40-50.  They are both TV anime.  SD pricing is not cheap, but it's reasonable in light of anime being higher price.  K-On! is straight up Japanese pricing gouging.  At least Gundam Unicorn is an OAV.

I'm more concerned that the 2nd season of K-on is never going to come over now.  Here I thought it already had!  Dammit, I hate owning incomplete shows.  Not that the 2nd season is worth owning outside the last 4-5 eps, but the multiple endings were nice.

The last 6 eps of Season 2 has some really great episodes in it.  Best part of the season for sure.  So if you're already that far you might as well finish it eventually.  I wish I could find the Cromartie MAN TEARS comic about the finale from the gaf thread when it aired.

Bodacious Space Pirates [Moretsu Pirates] - Episode 1

The name conjures up images of something utterly abysmal and depressing, which is unfortunate because that's not what the show is like at all. Rather than drawing on the current trends in anime [moe slice of life and fan service escalation], it actually draws more from anime during the 90's [On ANN it was likened to Martian Successor Nadesico, which I think is a good comparison especially considering they share the same director]. The story is that a teenage girl suddenly finds out that her father was a [legal] space pirate and that's he's recently died, leaving the girl as the sole inheritor of his pirate ship. Overall, it's a fine productions, with decent animation [even if nothing really happens], detailed backgrounds, and an art style that doesn't try to do too much. Nothing much happens in the first episode, just setup for the rest of the series. The next few episodes should give a good idea of where the show's going, but for now it looks to promise lots of lighthearted space adventure that won't make you feel depressed for having watched it.

Nisemonogatari kind of sucked.  It suffers from the same problems as the Kurenai OAVs and lots of sequels.  Basically it's a sequel just because, even though everything was concluded in the original and there was no need for a sequel.  Ep1 was just fanservice "oh remember these characters?" and just fillerish in general and not as well written, directed, and the music is worse.

The movie should actually be pretty good since there's still the prequel story to tell and that has a point.  But a sequel?  There's nothing to care about.  What kind of plot can they even do at this point without feeling contrived and lame. 

Eh, will keep watching, but don't have much faith in it now.  Would rather they just continued the plot of the original where he meets a new girl each arc and has to solve her supernatural short story.  It wouldn't be very creative, and would be more of the same, but it'd still be better than what nisemonogatari looks to be about.


Hoping Eureka 7 AO isn't going to suffer from this.  At least since it's hundreds of years after E7 it can't be "hey look at these characters hanging out!"

Some of the aesthetics might be cutesy, by the content is far from. It's more like a dark fairy tale, without all the Tim Burton/Hot Topic stuff.

Ok, Aquarion Evol was pretty good!  Looks like we may have the first enjoyable mecha series since Gundam OO S1.  It seems worse than Aquarion in every way, but that's expected since anime isn't as good anymore.  But!  It's still fun and has that Aquarion feel.  You can tell the plot is going to be really lolz as they try to write in a sequel to a story that doesn't make a sequel the easiest thing to write, but at least they're trying.  Mecha design is alright.  Attacks are decent so far.

Will be watching this.

I disagree. You have to remember with a new season new viewers will come in so they have to ease the characters in for them.

Yeah, takes place 12,000 years later and looks to tie in heavily with the original.  Pretty sure everyone will be reincarnations or clones of the original cast, lol.  I'm just glad that my favorite badass instructor dude:

Is in the show in some form. Personally I hope it's actually the same guy 12,000 years later and not his great-great-great-12,000-year-grandson/reincarnation/clone.  Been a while since I watched Aquarion but wasn't he an immortal guy or something.  I should rewatch the final ep of Aquarion to refresh.

You got that it was a joke right?  The series is 75% comedy/parody, 25% super robot epic.  I don't find Aquarion creepy at all.  There was an episode about smelling feet!  Show was hilarious with great characters, music, awesome attacks, and a decent story.

Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Bebpo on January 10, 2012, 01:38:37 PM
The first couple of episodes are kind of bad.  I gave up after ep1 myself, but later went back and watched further and found a great show.

This review on amazon sums it up well:
Quote
The first several episodes of "Aquarion" are not very engaging -- they speed by too fast, don't really make you care about the characters, and basically consist of the same pattern: Apollo does something feral and/or stupid during training, Silvia and/or Sirius are disgusted, the Cherubim attack, but Our Heroes (including Apollo) save the day and learn a valuable lesson in the process. Also typical anime cliches (accidental kiss, Benedict-and-Beatrice soulmates, and big strompy robots).

But after the first five or six episodes, something happens -- the series gains a sense of humor that infuses its rather cheesy overarcing storyline. Kawamori lets the story unfold gradually, and with a sly sense of spoofery and occasional bittersweet moments (Apollo's friendship with Baron) instead of pompous seriousness. Silly attack names ("Unlucky Bottom Attack!"), comical deus ex machinae (Our Heroes are saved by a cry of "DINNER!"), piroetting alien mecha, lots of pseudomystical stuff, cosplay, and a Yoda-like commander who exists solely to teach the heroes Important Life Lessons and spout cryptic sayings at the worst times. And I must admit, those orgasmic mecha merges are pretty funny.

"Aquarion" takes a long, long time to get off the ground. But once the satire kicks in, this mecha series becomes a gorgeously animated, fluffy brand of brain-candy.

It also has a great Yokko Kanno soundtrack.

My only posts in animeGAF threads was bitching about animeGAF itself. It didnt take long for me to realize the opinions and discussions I would source from there would be somewhere below general shounen anime boards yet slightly above general moe crap boards. I've been watching anime since I was 5, have been on anime boards since around 12, while I have seen worse it's not worth my time to talk anime with people well below my usual standard of discussion :/

Naah, I finished it and got that it was a throwback/homage/parody. I liked it but it didnt stand out much for me because 2005 I was more enchanted reading/watching Beet the Vandal Buster, Pani Poni, Basilisk, FMP, School Rumble, Karas, Tsubasa, Gunparade, Mushishi, hell even though I dislike it Eureka Seven left more of an impression.

If GoA launched today though, it would have much less competition and I would have probably remembered it better. Victim of it's time IMO.

i've readed buddha and it's really an interessing manga,from the name you'd think it would just jump to talk about religion and stuff like that but actualy it starts by following the life of several characters and basicaly how it sucks to live in the indian equivalent of medieval times,there is war,political conflict,philosopy about life (obviously) and the plot goes on for several years and feature enough murders to make that blackjack page i posted a while ago seems like nothing much...

if there is a problem about it... it becomes too much about buddha's sermon's near the end,but the first books are totaly engrossing and a total change of pace from either :uguu or people screaming energy attacks,that's usualy associated with manga's

In general, people have been giving up on anime year by year.  Not just on commercially buying anime, but on even bothering to torrent or watch anime.  Even the fansub groups have dwindled and some shows are slipping through with no subs.  Anime is doomed and all that.

In general, people have been giving up on anime year by year.  Not just on commercially buying anime, but on even bothering to torrent or watch anime.  Even the fansub groups have dwindled and some shows are slipping through with no subs.  Anime is doomed and all that. 

Why bother subbing and torrenting when you can just punch up just about any show you want on Crunchyroll?

Alright animu experts, I turn once again to you.

Next week is my birthday, and I traditionally take a day off and do mushrooms. I would like to have a movie to watch during this! The perfect candidate is extremely visually impressive and light hearted. Visually impressive being more important than light hearted. And preferrable dubbed because I probably won't want to read on shroomies but it might be fun to just watch something in Japanese without subs :lol

Suggestions?

FLCL.

I was originally going to say Mind Game, but that's only in Japanese.

Stuff I watched this week Prince of Tennis II, Natsume Yuujinchou Shi, Fate Prototype, Sengoku Paradise, Nisemonogatari.

PoT was good, I think I mentioned how I can see the shows parallels with one of my all time favourites, Captain Tsubasa.
Fate Prototype was a fun little look into what the Fate universe could have been like had the original vision been followed, wacthing it im glad they edited it as it currently is though.
Natsume was a slow starter, but it always is.
Sengoku Paradise wasnt actually funny, but i'll keep watching these shorts cause I like these chars from the games/history.
Nisemonogatari Mentioned it a little here, was excellent.

I'd recommend you more anime like it, unfortunately Planetes is pretty unique. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex similarly focuses on the interaction between technology and people/society, though it also has a heavy focus on politics and intrigue as well [more so than Planetes]. Maybe check out Steins;Gate, it's a really good time-travel story with a decidedly interesting main character. Niea Under 7 is a fun little anime about a girl from a small town and a bunch of lazy, moocher aliens, if you want some scifi that's more light-hearted and [pardon the expression] down-to-earth.

Well, there is another show that's similar to Planetes. I hesitate to recommend it for a variety of reasons, not the least of which because it's far less serious and plays a bit more loose with logic and reality, but...you can give Rocket Girls a try. It's surprisingly not bad and isn't nearly as loose with its science as you'd think. But, again, you give the cover one look and...well...

Edit: Forgot about Moonlight Mile. It's basically a show about two awesome dudes that decide to become astronauts. I can't vouch for it's quality though.

I have yet to meet a person that can say honestly they liked it. It did quite a bit of damage to my soul when I was done. Fuck Shinji. Fuck all that motherfuckers really.

Edit: @GreatR - Real Drive is probably closer to planetes than Ghost in the Shell.

Production I.G. exec Maki Terashima-Furuta made comments (reported at Anime News Network) to the effect that a live-action Jin-Roh is being prepped while another I.G. rep confirmed that the studio is preparing a third Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series. Yay on both counts!


Of course, there have been two Jin-Roh / Kerberos live action films released to date – Red Spectacles and Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops, both of which were directed by Jin-Roh creator Mamoru Oshii. No word on whether or not Oshii will be taking up the reins on the third film (though if he doesn’t, I expect the flick to be far more straightforward than the other two – which both followed Oshii’s wierd, experimental idiom).

As for the as-yet unnamed 3rd Gig, the director (presumably series director Kenji Kamiyama) is reportedly ‘tied up in other projects‘.

@Spence. Depends what you are looking for in a GitS story. 2nd gig is a much more personal story than 1st and in my opinion a lot better. The antagonist is just leaps above the Laughing Man as well. I love 1st gig, but 2nd is my soul mate.

Aah, I see. I wanted to introduce you to some more sombre dramas, I myself still struggle to understand why I watch them as they make me feel like shit all the time, but I never stop :/

Time Travel? Watch The Girl who lept through time (excellent movie) and Natsu no Arashi (good comedy series by Kobayashi "no onigiri ending for you" Jin)

If you're looking for a heroic story with some great fights and a good plot, look no further than Sword of the Stranger (movie). Looking for drama? Try Dr. Black Jack or Perfect Blue. Want some B grade manly action? Goku Midnight Eye and Cyber City (both cyber punk) if age doesnt matter to you.

If you want somber anime drama about the human condition, you can do no better than Now and Then, Here and There which is unique in that it's also an amalgamation of numerous genres, notably sci-fi and fantasy.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires

You keep bringing up depressing and wah wah, but like Spencer said, sometimes nothing tops a good downer story. I don't understand why people gravitate towards happy feelings all the time. A good story is a good story, and Now and Then, Here and There is leaps and bounds above most common anime due to its realistic approach to drama and the subject matter it entails.

Momo, I can appreciate somber stories and have in the past, but winters just not the right time of year fir me to be watching them, it'll sink me too low! Depressing stories are good to balance the soul though, and sometimes we need a reminder of how fragile the human condition really is. But I'm a hippy, I believe in love and the interconnectivity of everything in the universe (probably part of my appreciation for Planetes) so I don't go for nihilistic stuff. I did in my teens, but I'm passed the meaningless of life stage. :)
We'll talk more in the summer then, the shows I have in mind are mostly interpersonal relationships gone horribly awry. I find stuff like Suzuka crazily depressing but laugh at Grave of the Fireflies.

Currently having fun reading through Unbalance x Unbalance for the second time, it's a drama with a male lead that punches girls in the face :lol

Nothing against depressing, though I'm not really one for rewatching such shows/movies, but Spencer did specifically say he wanted lighter fare which Now and Then, Here and There is decidedly not. You've definitely got to be in the right mood for it.

Making Setsuko live in a hole in the wall and eat shit/nothing when he had the means to feed her properly. He should have had her checked out earlier, he should have got the money/food earlier.  surely you notice your little sister turning into a no energy zombie and wasting away into a skeletal figure? Instead of going gung ho with the food at the end he could have at least given her a fruit or two a day with the money they had and supplement that with fish he catches. Instead he basically ignores it till its too late

Quote
The official website for Purple Cow Studio Japan's Sakasama no Patema (Patema Inverted) revealed details about the anime film's plot and main character on Tuesday. Time of Eve creator Yasuhiro Yoshiura is writing and directing the anime film for release throughout Japan this year.

The story will take place in an underground world where tunnels extend everywhere. Even though they live in dark and confined spaces, people wear protective clothes and lead quiet and enjoyable lives. Patema, a princess in her underground village, loves to explore the tunnels. Her favorite place is a "danger zone" that her village prohibits people from entering. Even though she's scolded, Patema's curiosity can't be held back. No one ever explained what the supposed danger was. On her usual trip to the "danger zone," Patema faces unexpected events. When hidden secrets come to light, the story begins to unfold.

Yoshiura previously wrote "This new animation is … a story about girl-meets-boy, and boy-meets-girl. It is an extremely righteous, but also extremely strange, story."

Moretsu Pirates is SO GOOD. It's not moving at some whiz-bang pace or anything, nor does it feel like it's just twiddling its thumb with meaningless stuff, but it's keeping things a bit slow to build up the characters that will be important for the rest of the 26 episode run. It's also got a nice balance between being light-hearted at its core and also having little dramatic moments to deepen the characters. It's a modern big-budget series injected with the soul of anime at its height.

Here's some good news for magus:

Quote
The North American publisher Digital Manga is raising funds through the Kickstarter website to publish Osamu Tezuka's Barbara manga in English. Digital Manga gave the following description of the story:

Barbara opens with famous author Yosuke Mikura wandering the packed tunnels of Shinjuku Station, where he makes a strange discovery: a drunk woman, her rags caked in mud, who can quote French poetry. Her name is Barbara. He takes her home for a bath and a drink, and before long Barbara has made herself into Mikura's shadow, saving him from egotistical delusions and jealous enemies. But just as Mikura is no saint, Barbara is no benevolent guardian angel, and Mikura grows obsessed with discovering her secrets, tangling with thugs, sadists, magical curses and mythical beings - all the while wondering whether he himself is still sane.

Digital Manga aims to release the manga in large paperback format (5 7/8" x 8 1/4") if it receives US$6,500 in funds by February 12. As of Saturday, it received over US$5,000. Contributors will receive various rewards, depending on the level of their pledge.

Magus just got into Tezuka. I am far bigger Tezuka fan than Magus. Magus doesn't even pay for his Tezuka. I have almost every Tezuka manga release that is in English, legally.

Continuing, I've never seen Tezuka's Phoenix in anime form. The manga is a masterpiece, however.

The lack of Osamu Tezuka western fans is fucking pitiful. There still isn't a better creator in manga/anime.

i knew about the game but i had no idea it was a tezuka manga originaly

and uh... it was a little disappointing,the main character goes slaying a bunch of demons and all it's cool,story happens,then *BUM* the ending come without any sort of advise and is totaly anti-climatic and goes... "and then he went searching for the remaining demons"... i heard the other versions have a proper ending? how does it end?

Quote
Adolf

i've readed a bit of it and i just didn't feel it... but i might finish it later
besides while i like the guy,he seems fixated with the theme of discrimination and racism (astro boy = everybody hates robots,black jack = everybody hates blackjack scarred face) so in that regard picking a manga about nazism seems like overkill

Tezuka was the master. If Oda Eiichiro finishes One Piece and continues doing manga, I think he will prove to be the Tezuka 2.0.

Finished up Darker than Black season 2, it was pretty good. Felt a bit too rushed though, probably because of only have 12 episodes instead of 25 like the first season. Gotta say, Chinese Hobo Batman was certainly an interesting change for Hei.

No, but I'll get around to eventually. Right now I've got some other series that I want to finish up first.

@GR The movie has a bit of a darker tone and features a dude in black as I recall. I recall it being good but cant remember too many details.

It was okay, but 3/4 of the movie was just getting the gang back together. Once that happened, it was basically over. Ultimately disappointing and pointless, still not a bad movie though.

Aria the Natural

I'm watching this again because I got the DVD sets for Christmas, but I could probably watch it a dozen times and not get tired of it. What Aria does really, really well is to immerse the view in a wonderfully realized and idealized world. No other anime I can think of does this so well. And that soundtrack [those acoustic guitars = love], easily one of the best. I like the second the season the most because it had a lot of episodes that dealt with the more supernatural side of the world [especially with Cait Sith].

I watched the 2 movies ages ago when they aired on the Scifi Channel. They're really great examples of late 70's/early 80's Japanese scifi, they've got that whole world-hopping adventure through a strange galaxy going on. And they're both directed by Rintaro, so plenty of weirdness going on. I'm definitely interested in watching the series.

Some interesting changes are made, so if you have any interest the series is probably still worth checking out first.

Changes with spoilers:

Grace is captured by Leon. Sheryl is arrested under suspicion of being a spy and sent to Alcatraz. Tons of other Macross fleets show up at the end for the big fight, including Isamu from Macross Plus. Brera works with the SMS in the first film and isn't prortayed as a bad guy as much. Lots more people die. Ranka does a show at Alcatraz with some nods to Macross 7 and Fire Bomber.

So I watched Rinne no Lagrange ep1 after duckroll said it was a good mecha show that will be in Super Robot Wars and is by the director of Nadesico.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWOKnRw8mGg

First of all, SO MUCH MOE/FANSERVICE ARGHHHHHHH


But if you can make it past that, it's actually...well directed seemingly decent mecha show?  The art is pretty good and the animation (funded by NISSAN) is really nice, even the cell-shaded mecha fights look pretty darn good for being CG.

I think I'll put up with some underwear shots every ep to get another mecha show.  THREE mecha show episodes per week between Aquarion EVOL, Gundam AGE, and Lagrange!  After a long ass drought of no mecha shows at all besides Star Driver, who'd have thought they were making a comeback.  YAY, it's time for me to get back to liking anime again!

It's like Gunbuster, there are guys but they're the commanders and stuff!

Aquarion Evol 3 - This was great and felt like a classic mecha show ep from the golden era of anime.  Very fun, characters are likeable, story babble is interesting, good comedy, feel good mecha anime.  The whole show feels like a throwback to late 90s/early 00s SR animes I grew up on.  This gonna be good :)  I don't think anyone could enjoy it if they haven't seen the original Aquarion though.  Need to understand the connections and nods.

readed the whole adolf... it's pretty similiar in structure to buddha,so while it's cool and all,i like buddha more for having a more exoteric setting and a bigger plot involving way more character

read MW

well allright i bited on this suggestion and err... :-\
this was totaly not worth it

1) the plot only works because the main character is a doofus
2) i like tezuka works because he can make creative plots,the first black jack book on this regard is freaking amazing... like i once gained interess in this visual novel where it turns out after an operation the protagonist start to see humans as monster... to my surprise it turn's out that plot is ripped from a tezuka work,but in this one nothing interessing happens
3) the whole thing was unpleasant to read in the way it treats the "villain" being bi-sex,or maybe i'm just a prude guy

So I watched Rinne no Lagrange ep1 after duckroll said it was a good mecha show that will be in Super Robot Wars and is by the director of Nadesico.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWOKnRw8mGg

First of all, SO MUCH MOE/FANSERVICE ARGHHHHHHH


But if you can make it past that, it's actually...well directed seemingly decent mecha show?  The art is pretty good and the animation (funded by NISSAN) is really nice, even the cell-shaded mecha fights look pretty darn good for being CG.

I think I'll put up with some underwear shots every ep to get another mecha show.  THREE mecha show episodes per week between Aquarion EVOL, Gundam AGE, and Lagrange!  After a long ass drought of no mecha shows at all besides Star Driver, who'd have thought they were making a comeback.  YAY, it's time for me to get back to liking anime again!

I've been watching this, too.  You're exaggerating the fan service part, although the scene in the first ep where the girl's cousin pulls her pants to look for... ???...definitely fits said description.  You also have the weird alien girl wearing a leotard, which is at least pointed out and chuckled at by the other high school chicks when she first shows up.

The show is the standard humans vs aliens fare, and MCD, there are dudes.  The way it's playing out right now, the human side uses girl pilots and the alien side is all pretty-boy types.
My main problem with this show is its pacing.  It's a little TOO fast.  The main girl just accepts getting into a mech and piloting in a life or death battle with no problem.  WTF? 

Anyway, I'm watching this, Moretsu Pirates, and the best one of them all:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGSrjojDWRM

LOOK IT'S A SHOW WITH DUDES AS THE MAIN CHARACTERS HOLY SHIT :o :o :o :o

Thermae Romae  - 13min eps about a Rome bath designer who time travels to Japan in his dreams and takes back futuristic bathhouse skills to Rome.  Fairly funny so far.  Would recommend if you like off-beat Japanese comedy.

magus, you should watch Thermae Romae.  It's only 6eps but I think it is up your alley.  There's also a manga which you could read instead.  Plus you are Italian so it's like learning about your ancestors and how they bathed.

Naruto was cute again.  It's sort of like Eureka Seven except instead of Naruto kicking ass with the power of LOVE from an alien girl, it's from the power of LOVE from a giant fox inside him.  Hokage final form Naruto is pretty boss looking.  Guess manga is really ending soon since I don't see any further forms left for him.

Hunter x Hunter was really good again.  This arc has been pretty solid and all the boring political talk finally makes sense as he was using it as a counter to the exciting violent storyline going on in the other story.  It's good to see Togashi back as an interesting manga writer again.  After Greed Island which was just ok and Ant arc which sucked, I thought HxH was done for, but this arc gives me hope it might pull itself back together much like Togashi's health.

At least it's not a total fuck up like the E7 movie was.  Escaflowne movie definitely has things going for it like the animation and music.  Story is rushed and weird and maybe passable.  Characters are rushed and weird and underdeveloped.  It's very watchable.  I need to re-watch it on BD.

Movie is way tamer than the book and especially manga.  There're only really hints at sexual stuff in the movie.  I read the manga a while back, and I could be mistaking it for another manga, but there was fingering bullet holes and shit like that.

Movie changes a lot of details because it's too much story for the run time.  Kiriyama is a totally different character.  Aforementioned sex stuff is barely mentioned.  Kitano.  In a lot of ways its better than the manga for it.

You guys all NEED to watch Thermae Romae.  This show is hilarious in a comic strip way I haven't seen since Cromartie.  The art and comedy sort of reminds me of Slam Dunk style.  The first ep is just alright, but after that each ep is hilarious.  And the episodes are only 13mins!  Sad that it's only 6eps long.  Hope it gets another season down the line.  It's great stuff.  I saw on wikipedia that the manga it's based on won some awards for best short story manga and I can see why.  The premise is so outrageous and the execution is fantastic.

Plus the show has ZERO creepy animu crap and is actually educational as it teaches you about both Roman history and how modern bathing technology works.

Nisemonogatari ep2 - Show continues to be disappointing beyond all words.  Not only is it disappointing when compared to the incredible timeless anime classic show that was Bakemonogatari, but it's not even an entertaining show standing on its own.  It's just boring. 

Apparently, when the staff had no money it forced them to be creative and put together the show in stylish Evangelion style dramatic still usage and creative animation techniques.  But now that they have money it's just non-stylish and bland with lots of animation frames :|  Plus I haaaate the character designs in this.  Everyone looks terrible and nothing like they are supposed too.  Especially araragi who looked cool in Bakemonogatari and now he looks like bad art guy.  The editing and dialogue and scripts feel much slower and less clever.  Huge lack of puns and sharp jokes.  And the music is so much worse as well.

Nisemonogatari lacks the charm of the original.  Almost every aspect of the original had a certain charm to it.  Even the next ep previews with his sisters waking him up in SD form were charming.  There's nothing like that in this show.

The show feels like if they gave it to someone other studio and said "hey, make the sequel imitating the style of bakemonogatari".  Just feels like a cheap imitation.  Have no faith that I will enjoy this show.  Reaaaaaaally hoping the movie is more like Bakemonogatari.  Otherwise I'll just go and rewatch Bakemonogatari, which is what I feel like doing now after watching this poor imitation.

I mean just compare this scene in bakemonogatari which is hilarious and clever in all its references to anime/manga/pop culture even without understanding the dialogue (which is clever as well).  Really tight editing/directing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMy2ibMcR0g
Then they try to remake the scene in nisemongatari with a bigger budget and all its soul is lost and it's just boring:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXf2WlBMEvg

Plus in Bakemonogatari when they actually put money into episodes we got cool looking animation like this:

Went back and watched some bakemonogatari again.  Still so good.  Show never gets old.  Wish there were more dialogue exchange clips on youtube as the dialogue exchanges are the best parts of the show.  There's an exchange in Ep3 with Arraragi and Senjougahara where they are hanging out in a park and she's offering him favors and it's just amaaaaazingly well written comedy that keeps upping the ante.  Every ep has lots of "spit your drink" moments.

There's an exchange in Ep3 with Arraragi and Senjougahara where they are hanging out in a park and she's offering him favors and it's just amaaaaazingly well written comedy that keeps upping the ante.  Every ep has lots of "spit your drink" moments.

that's actualy the part where i decided it was too boring for me

besides i watched half by a sub group and the other half by another sub group and the sub were completly different yet somehow the total lack of any sort of action or context made them both fit

Eh...First two videos are lolicon garbage through and through.

They are both bad and you should be ashamed of yourself, young man.

Haha, I expected that reaction from you :P

The thing about Bakemonogatari is it's really not as perverted harem show as it seems on a casual glance.  The show doesn't pander or emphasize or glorify sexual fetishes, it just uses them as humor.  I think a western comparison is Archer which is extremely vulgar in sex jokes and stuff, but it's using them as exactly that, jokes.  Not pandering in a sexual way.  Just cultural differences where in the west we make jokes about jerking off and bjs and in the east they make jokes about lolicon and siscon and sorocon.

I actually knew you'd post that too.  I'm on top of everyone's take on Bakemonogatari here :P

It's definitely not for everyone.  It's not an action show, or much of a story show.  It's an entirely dialogue-based character show.  Like a stage play set in 1 room with 2 characters.  You have to like that sort of thing.

siscon is just the oniichan thing of lolicon with a little sister that you see in a million anime and it's always creepy.

sorocon is something I think the bakemonogatari author made up based on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_marriage#Sororate_marriage.  The dialogue is something like:

[A = guy, B = girl]

B: You always dote on your sisters, could you possibly be a siscon, perhaps?
A: No, falling in love with your sister...it's just a fantasy by those who don't have sisters.
B: Fine, you're not a sis-con.  So you won't fall in love with your sister?
A: How could I!
B: That's right.  You seem more like a Soro-con
A: Soro-con?
B: The abbreviation for sororate marriage, also known as inter-marriage inclusive of all sisters.  It means marrying the older or younger sister of your wife whose passed away.
A: And why am I soro-con?
B: In your case, you'll most likely marry the younger one rather than the older one.  You'll get your wife's younger sister to call you "oniichan" and then you'll kill your wife and marry her younger sister and still have her call you "oniichan" afterwards.  Thus you can love your sister without loving your sister.
A: Now you're saying I'll kill my wife??
B: Well, because you're a soro-con.
A: I'd rather be a sis-con than a soro-con in that case!
B: I thought you said you wouldn't fall in love with your sister?  Then will you fall in love with a lover who is not blood related?
A: Like I said...!!!  Huh?  I lover who is not blood-related?
B: Haha, you're so easy to tease.  Small jokes get you so riled up.
A: These aren't small jokes!
B: I was just testing you now.
A: Why am I being tested?  You mean you're not even going at me with everything you've got?
B: To use my full potential I would have to transform (henshin)
A: YOU CAN TRANSFORM!?  Wow!  I'd really want to see that! [sarcasm]
B: You make such huge reactions to everything, but you're always so petty.  Still, regardless of how petty you are, I will never abandon you.  I will cope with you and your pettiness until the bitter end.
A: Deep.
B: So, besides your pettiness, is there anything else I can help you with?

Obviously some of the dialogue rolls are lost in translation but the entire show is like 200 of those conversations non-stop with excellent directing and acting to pull them off in a fiendishly clever way.  It's why Bakemonogatari is one of my favorite anime.

Hunter x Hunter was really good again.  This arc has been pretty solid and all the boring political talk finally makes sense as he was using it as a counter to the exciting violent storyline going on in the other story.  It's good to see Togashi back as an interesting manga writer again.  After Greed Island which was just ok and Ant arc which sucked, I thought HxH was done for, but this arc gives me hope it might pull itself back together much like Togashi's health.

You are clearly underestimating the ability of manga/anime publishers to stretch things far past the point of viability.

The one thing is that Naruto seemingly has his final upgrade, or at least the one that's been teased since the beginning of the series.  But this is the same magazine that hosted Dragon Ball aka SUPER SAIYAN 3 what the fuck.  Naruto's current final boss has more or less been pulled out of thin air.  Ignoring him, there are two other major bad guys running around.  There's a lot more milking to be done.

That argument makes sense if Naruto is as popular as Dragon Ball was. But it isn't. Toriyama was forced to stretch his story by publishers. I highly doubt publishers would give a shit if Naruto ended any time soon, not to mention, Naruto has lasted longer than Dragonball's Shounen Jump run. Dragon Ball lasted in Jump for 9 years and Toriyama wanted to end the series after Freiza. Naruto has been in jump for 11 years, comparatively.

Not Dragon Ball popular. Why would a publisher want to draw out Naruto with sales like that? It has lasted 11 years. That's a long time. If Naruto is over soon, I doubt jump executives will give a fuck, especially since Toriko is rising up the charts, which is relatively fresh.

You have to realize that Kishimoto is not a talentless hack like Kubo.  He has some pride and when the story is done he's not going to pull arcs out of his ass to make it keep going for years like Bleach.  The bad guy for this is THE MAIN VILLAIN FINAL ENEMY.  He's the most powerful character in the entire universe and his goal is like the end of FMA and END OF WORLD if he wins.  Naruto is in his FINAL FORM to get ready to beat him.  Sasuke is ABOUT TO APPEAR.  Everything is pretty much point towards a final climax.  I think Kishimoto will pull off a really cool finale that wraps all the remaining subplots together into a nice epic finish.  I think Naruto will end in the next 2 years.

yeah, but this current final boss is actually pretty recent.  Initially Pain was shown as the Akatsuki leader, and then suddenly this goofball became the real final boss.  It's not like it was even hinted at.

The one reason I'd agree with you is because Naruto has already tackled every cliche and wrapped up everything hinted at earlier in the manga.  There's possibly the world outside of the hidden ninja villages, like with the samurai, and that could be a new arc.  It could even be delayed if Naruto isn't suddenly hokage after this.  I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if a new arc was pulled out of Kishimoto's ass.

And I disagree that Kishimoto has a lot of pride in his work after the entire zombie versus scrubs thing.  Naruto was sub-Bleach at that point.


In general that's the problem with establishing a finite goal at the start of a manga.  There's never a satisfying conclusion and a lot of times it feels like the series is being stretched to avoid reaching that point.  Hajime no Ippo is the absolute worst at it, followed by Bakuman.  So much inanity in both of them.

It's another reason why Hunter X Hunter is great.  Gon's end goal wasn't really to meet his father, but to understand what it meant to be a hunter and realize why his father chose it over him.  It's open ground for adventuring.

Post by: Bebpo on January 30, 2012, 03:32:00 AM
I think he has pride in his work, but that doesn't mean he's that great of a writer  :lol  I mean the current final boss's MOON EYE PLAN is really stupid and bad writing.  Everything involving Sasuke is bad writing (remember DANZO).  Naruto has lots and lots of stupid stuff because Kishimoto isn't that great of a writer.

But where I think Kishimoto isn't a hack and has some pride is that none of this stupid stuff ends up lasting and becoming the focus of the series.  It all has it's 3-4 months of dumb and then the manga gets back to Naruto and things moving and it's good again.  They're like temporary dumb spots where Kishimoto can't think of anything so he gets some drug addict off the street to make up the connecting bit of story.

Post by: Bebpo on January 30, 2012, 03:34:15 AM
The difference with Bleach is it never has that good core to go back to.  The dumb stuff IS the main story each arc and there's nothing behind that when the arc is over to carry the series.  The series is literally empty and nothing but a series of dumb arc after dumb arc where kubo keeps making shit up because he doesn't want to just cancel the series since there's no point to it anymore.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: cool breeze on January 30, 2012, 03:43:16 AM
well, Bleach gets better the dumber it gets.  It's almost a parody of every bad Jump trope.  Inexplicable...I was going to list things started with power ups, but really everything.

Initially it was "hey this is a bad rip off of like Yu Yu Hakusho!" and then stuff happens and characters can suddenly fly and characters Ichigo defeated as a weakling can now defeat much stronger enemies like it's nothing and Kubo gets tired of drawing background so lets set this in a place where everything is white.

Went back and watched some bakemonogatari again.  Still so good.  Show never gets old.  Wish there were more dialogue exchange clips on youtube as the dialogue exchanges are the best parts of the show.  There's an exchange in Ep3 with Arraragi and Senjougahara where they are hanging out in a park and she's offering him favors and it's just amaaaaazingly well written comedy that keeps upping the ante.  Every ep has lots of "spit your drink" moments.

I really love the exchanges with Kanbaru most of all. And when Senjougahara asks Araragi to be clear about their relationship .. his answer is just perfect.

I don't think dubs are bad enough that I would willingly avoid or not suggest someone watch a great show because it's only available in dub.

Dubs have vastly improved the past 10 years and in some cases I'd rather watch it in English than in Japanese. For example, on my list, I think GitS: SAC, Gank, Samurai Champloo, FLCL, and a few others are actually better in English than Japanese. Especially SAC, since it has so much information to absorb, and watching it subbed can be tedious.

If only dubs sounded like saturday morning cartoons or stuff that runs on cartoon network it'd be all good.  Giant Robo original dub is like that.  A few of the Disney/Ghibli ones sound pretty good.

Moretsu Pirates continues to be everything that current, mainstream anime isn't: a deliberately-paced, lighthearted scifi adventure that doesn't shy away from employing techno-jargon and is almost entirely devoid of fanservice. That's all absolutely stunning, given its considerable budget.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: MCD on February 05, 2012, 01:51:21 AM
@Bebpo

Yes, I saw it but it's been awhile so here is my 2 cents on the show:

It's good but not faithful to the source material so if you don't mind that then that price is a deal. Story is same old same one guy who is for some reason the only one who can pilot a specific robot etc. and the characters aren't anything special except for two characters (you will know them when you see them, especially THAT one) but overall, the action parts are what makes it special. It's Escaflowne like mecha badassery and everyone loves Escaflowne.

So yes, get it.

And even though these are cinematic movies there is still places for loli/underage characters with big boobs/nakes scenes just because/blahblah so try to ignore or endure them.

I want to buy it but I will get it with Sengoku Basara 1+2 this week.

I like The Third: Girl with the Blue Eye. It's got some likable characters, a great setting, and nice action scenes and animation. But it has the absolute most egregious use of disembodied narration I've ever seen. The narrater, who's just your average omnipotent narrater, pops in several times an episodes to tell what is BLATANTLY OBVIOUS TO ANYONE WITH EYES. It drives me absolutely insane.

*shot of black clouds on the horizon with a lot of lightning*

"A storm was approaching."

*main characters gets injured and her friends are worried*

"At times, silence can be more poignant than loud noise."

SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP.

The second to latest episode of Naruto Shippuden is worth watching (248).  It's one of those event episodes where they put effort into the animation and style, and they don't completely bog down the pace to put space between it and the manga.  Those are the only episodes of Naruto I watch because the rest is some lazy shit.

If you've read the manga, it's the

E7 was not a show about lolis.  The only lolis were Dewey's army of male lolis on his ship.  The main cast were young adults in their late 20s and 30s, adults in their 50s/60s other than Renton/Eureka/Anemone and their little kids.

AO is ALL lolis and kids so far.  It looks like it's pandering to the new generation of creepy otaku shows.

The main complaint I seem to be hearing is that Arrietty is not "epic" like some of Ghibli's other movies.

The writing was done by Miyazaki himself and the direction was done by a veteran Ghibli animator doing his first directorial work.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires

Most non-Miyazaki directed Ghibli films aren't epic, people need to get over it.

Arietty was really good. The kind of thing I can't wait to show my little girl.

She has a stuffed Totoro in her room. Also has a stuffed Smile Slime from our first trip to Japan and a couple little Gundam trading figures. Daddy had to sneak some robots in there somehow!

Miyazaki does epic pretty well, but it's good for Ghibli to mix things up and keep from being one-note with their movies.

Arrietty was pretty good, a light little bit of inoffensive adventure. It's not deep or large-scale or anything like that, but it's fun and looks wonderful.

On the other hand, it's another in a line of recent Ghibli movies that, while certainly GOOD and among the best anime movies being made, aren't GREAT. Like, nothing Ghibli has done since Spirited Away is worthy of being mentioned in the same paragraph as Porco Rosso [which I had to go back to tonight and pop in for a bit]. The elder Miyazaki seems like he's in his twilight years as a creative talent, maybe he's got another movie or two left in him, but I just don't know if you can ever go back to where he was at his height and Ghibli doesn't have anyone else in their stable that's even close to him in terms of talent and vision.

Has anyone seen The Secret World of Arriette?

It received glowing reviews on RT, but I remember a lot of discussion elsewhere on how it doesn't live up to previous Ghibli works. Like not even in the same ballpark (basically production crew not being Ghibli's A-team).

Thoughts?

It's very good, even though it's not Hayao. It holds its own against the larger Ghibli films pretty well. It has plenty of charm, and is well-paced. I liked it better than Howl's Moving Castle, and Pom-Poko.

K-On season 2 has been rescued from the rotting corpse of Bandai by Sentain Filmworks and it will be released on Bluray:

Quote
The North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced on Monday that it licensed the second season of the K-ON!! television anime series. The 26-episode anime sequel and the accompanying OVA will be available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc later this year. Sentai Filmworks is collaborating with Bang Zoom! Entertainment on the dub.

Based on kakifly's four-panel comedy manga about high school girls who form a rock band, the second television anime series premiered in April 2010. The series topped sales charts when its Blu-ray Discs shipped in Japan last year, and K-ON! became the first television animation franchise to sell over 500,000 Blu-ray Discs on Oricon's sales chart.

The North American anime distributor Bandai Entertainment licensed and released the first K-ON! television anime season in 2011 before it stopped releasing new titles this month.

How do you make a movie about ZOMBIE SHARKS With STABBY LEGS boring?  Maybe the manga was good and creepy, but the anime adaptation was neither scary nor so bad it's hilarious.  It was just slow and nothing much happened and was pretty dull.  The end twist about the TRUE FORM OF THE EVIL was lolz, but at least a bit creative.  But yeah, disappointing.

Yeah, it started kinda cool, but dropped off really, really fast.

If I were going on a date with someone that was not a fellow nerd, I'd be pretending that anime and video games and comics and shit don't exist.  Go out to eat...go to the movies...go for a walk somewhere nice.  Do stuff she likes.  You know...date-type shit.  "Come back to my place and let's watch Japanese cartoons!!! :hyper" doesn't sound that great.

But if that is what you want, go for the otaku/weeaboo types and don't even bother with the rest.

It's like not going to the theater and watching a movie together because even though you like movies you don't want to "force your hobbies" on someone else.

Now let's not go extreme. Because one likes anime does not mean they're a weeaboo/otaku. But it definitely likely means they're a nerd. That said, why would you WANT to watch anime with a girl, and why is it a priority? Watching the occasional anime, cool. But you're 30, bro. Shouldn't your priority when it comes women be beyond menial and irrelevant things such as whether or not she likes anime? I got over this in fuckng high school, dude.

Bebpo EVERYONE watches and goes to the movies. Comparing that to watching anime is grasping at straws. If you're going to watch anime with a girl, I'd try to make sure it's something cool like Cowboy Bebop, or something funny like Cromartie, or something EVERYONE can enjoy like Nausicaa. Not THIS:

Everyone and their mother loves Disney. Women I've dated have no problems with me liking stuff like Futurama and we'll watch it together. Because it's fucking awesome even though it's a cartoon. The distinction is making sure it's something she likes and not holding it on a pedestal. Because what you're saying is the equivalent of "I wish I had a girl who liked watching The Simpsons with me." which is cool and all, but it doesn't really matter and the only reason it does matter to (to you) is because it's anime. Which makes no sense.

Jesus Christ, way to go overboard guys.

Thought process:
1.  I have this movie I want to watch (Gyo - Horror film by guy who did Uzumaki which is fairly mainstream acceptance in the horror community) 
2.  Should I watch it by myself tonight?  or wait and watch it with the gf on the weekend because it's the kind of thing that would be fun to watch together since we both like horror films and it's a campy horror film?
3.  Ask on TheBore to see if the movie is appropriate for watching with female and not some horribly sick.fuck movie

RESULT = YOU ARE A HORRIBLE WEABOO PERSON ATTEMPTING TO FORCE YOUR HOBBIES ON THE UNWILLING WOMEN OUT THERE WHO HATE ANIME WITH A PASSION.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.  WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE ON A WALK.  WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE WITH A GIRL IN A GENRE YOU BOTH ENJOY AS AN ACTIVITY TO DO TOGETHER.  DIE IN A FIRE WEABOO.

If you show her Whisper of the Heart and she grimaces then there MAY be something wrong because she's judgmental and superficial enough to not watch something because LOL IT'S A CARTOON, but at the same time, if you're just wanting her to watch PANTSU AQUARION FUN TIME with you, then there's something equally as wrong with that picture.

I'd never watch Aquarion or anything wacky_jappy/boobs/mecha/uguu with someone else, guy or girl.  I'm not stupid.  Even FLCL would be pushing it too far into the fanservice-y and I would not watch that with a girl.

Jesus Christ, way to go overboard guys.

Thought process:
1.  I have this movie I want to watch (Gyo - Horror film by guy who did Uzumaki which is fairly mainstream acceptance in the horror community) 
2.  Should I watch it by myself tonight?  or wait and watch it with the gf on the weekend because it's the kind of thing that would be fun to watch together since we both like horror films and it's a campy horror film?
3.  Ask on TheBore to see if the movie is appropriate for watching with female and not some horribly sick.fuck movie

RESULT = YOU ARE A HORRIBLE WEABOO PERSON ATTEMPTING TO FORCE YOUR HOBBIES ON THE UNWILLING WOMEN OUT THERE WHO HATE ANIME WITH A PASSION.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.  WHY DON'T YOU GO OUTSIDE ON A WALK.  WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH A MOVIE WITH A GIRL IN A GENRE YOU BOTH ENJOY AS AN ACTIVITY TO DO TOGETHER.  DIE IN A FIRE WEABOO.

Really, guys?  I thought this forum was better than this.  But everyone still has a super kneejerk reaction when it comes to anime.

Are we really over-reacting, based on your dating post history here?   ;)

Do you want your gf to watch quality anime, or otaku anime like Aquarion? This is important!

See above.  Was asking about a horror movie that I knew nothing about its contents to FIND OUT if it was a ghibli type movie you could watch with normal people or an otaku movie that you wouldn't.  Which caused the forum to freak out and throw insults.  Except Momo.  Momo was awesome for giving me an actual answer.

I'd never watch Aquarion or anything wacky_jappy/boobs/mecha/uguu with someone else, guy or girl.  I'm not stupid.  Even FLCL would be pushing it too far into the fanservice-y and I would not watch that with a girl.

If this is your girlfriend and she knows what you're into (and you know what she's into), maybe wacky-uggu-mecha-boobs-animu is fine.  You didn't say that this was someone you were in a relationship with already.

Okay. I'm glad we got that settled.

Then it shouldn't be an issue because MOST people should find something to like about Totoro or Porco Rosso or even Perfect Blue or Tokyo Godfathers.
Perfect Blue is one of my favorite films of all time.

YES! YES YES!:

-Jormungand [YES!]

Definitely:

-Ozuma [Matsumoto scifi adventure = Yes]
-Uchuu Kyoudai [Realistic astronaut stuff!]
-Yurumates [the short OVA released earlier was okay, so I'll watch this too]
-Tsuritama [synopsis sounds interesting, different from the usual stuff, plus it's from the director of Kuuchuu Buranko and [C]]
-Sakamichi no Apollon [I'm not that sold on the synopsis, but it's Shinichirou Watanabe and Yoko Kanno so...yeah.]
-Zetman [looks pretty cool from what I've seen]

Maybe:

-Tosogare OtomeXAmnesia
-Hyouka
-Shining Hearts
-Sankarea [the manga is a total guilty pleasure]
-Medaka Box [the series started out as funny school comedy show with over-the-top stuff, but then got bad when it decided to be a grim-dark shounen series. Maybe Gainax can make it work]
-Nazo no Kanojo X [something about this...]

Very promising season from what I see.

It's sort of a harem show but not really. Haruko teases Naoto a few times but is mainly just interested in pulling stuff out of his head, Mamimi is interested in him a first but is mainly obsessed with his brother, and Nanimori might be interested in him but that never really goes anywhere.

To expand upon Rumbler's post.

None of the girls except Namimori are interested in Naoto. Mamimi uses him as target practice for venting on her frustrations of losing her ex - Naoto's brother. It doesn't mean anything, and she doesn't know what to do with or what she wants with her life. Haruka doesn't flirt with him at all, she's just using him to let her boyfriend escape from the prison facility.

I think they do a real good job with the antagonist. He doesnt play a traditional antagonostic role for the most part. Kisemonogatari should have a bit more of a traditional antagonist but Araragi wont end up hating them as he always says "you cant blame the oddities" and I believe he even likens the antagonist to Oshino whom he respects a lot.

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva

Was like watching one of the games.  Slow pacing, lots of ridiculous stuff, English gentlemen antics.  But the story was freaking terrible and much worse than the 4 games that preceded it.  The entire basis for the plot doesn't make any sense
spoiler (click to show/hide)
they need to get a girl to put Melina's memories in, so instead of just kidnapping some girl they make a HUGE MYSTERY GAME WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE that costs a billion dollars of blowing up ships and castles.  WAT

and none of the new characters are interesting. 

Was enjoyable enough to get through it as a fan of the games, but yeah, no more Layton movies please.

It's three films, right? Second one came out in theaters this past fall in Japan. Wonder when we'll get it here?

It's interesting how the hard sci-fi and mecha stuff has evolved from OVAs to theatrical films as a way to make money.

It took less than a year for the first to come out, so we should get the second sometime in late summer.

And it actually started as a Gonzo OVA in 2005, by the way, before eventually being cancelled. Probably Gonzo financial problems. It eventually got picked up as three-part movie by GoHands, a newcomer who has produced nothing else of note.

Isamu Imakake directing new animated movie by Happy Science group

A website has been launched announcing the October release of the anime film adaptation of The Mystical Laws, a book by Ryuho Okawa, the founder of the controversial religious organization Happy Science (Kōfuku no Kagaku). The publishing arm of the organization will be producing the animated film alongside a live-action film adaptation of Okawa's Final Judgement. The group has sponsored a number of animated films in the past.

Cowboy Bebop set designer Isamu Imakake, who also directed the 2009 Happy Science film The Laws of Eternity, will be directing the film, and Okawa will oversee its overall production. The film takes place in 201X, when the newly-formed "Empire of Godom" is threatening to take over the world by using mysterious technology offered to them by Reika Chan, the mysterious female president of a trading company. The protagonist of the film Sho Shishimaru is the one man who has the "mystical technology" that can stop the Empire of Godom, but after being hunted down by the Empire, he is saved by "mysterious Indians," who tell him about a prophecy about the "second coming of a savior."

Various showings of Happy Science films have been held in the United States as far back as September 2000. In 2009, Fumiya Sato, author of Kindaichi Case Files, ran as one of 17 candidates representing the organization's political party Kōfuku Jitsugen-tō in Japan's legislative elections.

Innuendo aside, the show has started to pick up around ep10/11.  Mid-season is time to go off the hook and fully connect the story to the original Aquarion season it seems.  Which is what everyyyyyone is waiting for.

Fun show so far.  Feels very 90s mecha anime.

Caught up on most the on-going manga I read.  Hunter x Hunter could've ended for good a chapter or two ago on top of that tree.  Seemed like it was building up toward a "ok, I'm done, time to retire" moment of the series ending.

But it's shounen so new arc start!  Could be good.  Overall the Election/Killua Arc was pretty nicely done.  Was a good comeback for the author after the long hiatus.  I liked the ending bit of the election a lot.


Naruto is pretty much crap now since once again it's not focusing on Naruto but the other characters I don't like.
Bleach's new arc is very entertaining so far, though the manga is still dumb and sucks.
Gantz is still dumb.

Just need to catch up on Drifters, Soul Eater, and Yotsuba&! now.

Now that I caught up on all the anime I'm watching and manga I'm reading, I decided I'd finish up Nisemonogatari.  Watched ep4-5.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  Outside the parts with Kaiki, this show is so boring compared to Bakemonogatari :(

Is the entire 11ep run a single arc?  Bakemonogatari had great pacing by doing 3-4ep arcs.


At least the OPs/ED are good.  Hoping when things start happening this arc will pick up. 


PS.  Hate some of the re-designs in this show.  Hanekawa looks so bland now :|  Prefered the Fire Sisters when they were non-sexified and cute comedy duo.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Momo on March 27, 2012, 03:35:41 AM
Yeah it's all one long related arc. It's very different from Bakemono in terms of tone and pacing. There are eps when Araragi literally walks from one location to the next for the entire 25 mins. But they keep it interesting with the conversations the chars have with each other. It all comes nicely to a head in the final two eps, the slow build up just makes it all the more worth while. This is much more of a personal story than Bakemono

Yeah not digging the Hanekawa and Senjougahara re-design. They also re-design one of the fire sisters midway through .. i dunno what it is about short hair that gives them a hard on.

Nisemongatari ep6 - Mostly Senjougahara so it was good because her and araragi talks are always at least entertaining. 

I reaaaally hate that they gave Shinobu a voice now.  She was interesting in Bakemongatari and now she's just generic vampire loli :(  Also she sounds and acts exactly what Hanekawa's cat spirit sounded like at the end of Bakemonogatari.  At first I thought they were going to explain her talking by saying she absorbed the spirit in at the end of bakemonogatari, but no, that's just how she is.  Weird.

Can't sleep.  Watched Nisemonogatari ep7.

Fight scene with good animation -> Drama conclusion between siblings -> Kaiki scene -> Senjougahara scene -> Fake ending = good episode!  Would have thought that was the real arc ending if I didn't know there were still 5 eps left.  Curious where it goes now.

Oh.  That was the end of the Karen Bee arc.  Ok, well solid ending I guess.  Arc was way too freaking long and not very good overall though.  Should've been about 3eps, not 7.  Could've completely cut the first 2eps for starters.  Then compacted the other 5 into 3 without losing anything.  Shrug, $$$ talks and dragging out these novels forever is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to Shaft.

At least this new arc only has 5 eps, so maybe it'll be paced a bit better.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Momo on March 29, 2012, 07:06:14 AM
The first arc has to be long. Although not completely about Karen, it's important to the second arc that you are very aware of Karen and the meaning she holds to Araragi.

So many possible screenshots to post, all which would get me banned from this forum, lol.

Off to a good start with this arc!  Maybe Karen Bee was just a fluke and this will be bakemonogatari quality.  Karen Bee wasn't 'that' bad in retrospect.  It at least had Kaiki who was interesting.

Nisemonogatari ep9 & 10

This arc is good.  Things are moving at a normal pace.  Lots of events, lots of different characters without focusing too much on a single character.  Everyone is getting good exposure.  The author of the series is really good at creating characters.  The onmyouji pair are great just like kaiki.  Almost every character in the bakemonogatari/nisemonogatari world is interesting and feels original and not just a copy & paste of an stereotype.  The only thing I didn't like about these eps and some parts of Karen Bee as well is wtf when did Araragi turn into a pervert obsessed with feeling up underage girls?  In bakemonogatari any pervy stuff by Araragi was always played off as a joke and in general he wasn't really pervy or love-y or anything.  He was kind of just a normal dude surrounded by supernatural women.  In this he's kind of a parody of himself from bakemonogatari and a total joke character + pervert.  He's not always like that, but he goes into those phases at times in eps and it feels out of character with who he was in bakemonogatari.

Anyhow Kaiki's voice actor (you know, the guy whose been in everything for decades; most recently as Lockon Stratos in Gundam OO) is giving a REALLY GOOD performance of being this middle-age completely worn out man who doesn't want to make any effort that he doesn't have to in life.  The VA combined with his greaaaaat theme music, makes his character a really good addition to the worldview of the series.

Anyhow, 1ep left.  Kind of surprised as it seems like there's a lot going on at this point, but the arcs tend to end things very quickly sometimes (like the final ep of Karen Bee) so I'm sure it'll be satisfactory.

Finished Nisemonogatari.  Tsukihi Phoenix Arc was good.  Interesting characters, solid story/dialogue, good scenes.  I don't think it ever really reached the heights of any of the Bakemonogatari arcs, but as a cash-in sequel which are going to be the rest of the books as they animate them, it was enjoyable.  It's hard not to compare it to Bakemonogatari though.  I remember watching the final arc of Bakemonogatari when they're lying on the grass looking up at the stars and thinking "wow, this is a great end to a great series".  So inevitably it's going to be hard to get that kind of feel from any future sequels, though Kizumonogatari can still be awesome since it's a prequel and I'm really looking forward to that.

Don't hate it, don't love it.  Was...ok with some good stuff, and some boring eps early on.

I like Persona 4, but the anime is bland and purposeless, utterly lacking in any kind of identity other than what it derives from being a frame-for-frame retelling of the game. I guess it's okay if you don't want to devote the time to play the game, but if you've played the game already then there's really no reason to watch the anime.

Black Lagoon is a top 5 anime of the last decade, it's not fair to compare other animes to it's standards. That being said,  RBT is excellent

Being an OVA is not a measure of animation/drawing quality/depth it just means its direct to DVD releases. (mostly)

TV series = 13-26 episodes shown on TV for free, generally over the course of a few months
OVA series = 3-6 episodes released one at a time on DVD for $30+ each, generally over the course of a year or more

No, OVA is not a measure of animation quality, but the basic idea is that the animators have more time and money to do things better than a tight TV schedule and budget would allow them to do.

OVAs vary just as wildly in quality and length as TV series.

No, this really isnt a thing, it's a perception. My young brain may be lying to me but I remember crap like the Hunter x Hunter OVA series being on par, if not regressing in animation quality from the TV series. Assuming a similar budget, quality goes down as series length goes up, be that a TV series or an OVA.

I'm willing to accept that you guys talk about quality of animation/presentation when talking OVA quality though. It's doesnt make much sense to be, but I can adapt, not a deal breaker.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Bebpo on April 05, 2012, 03:45:43 PM
Yeah, OAV used to be for higher budget stuff.  OCCASIONALLY it still is used that way (Gundam Unicorn for instance has much better combat animation than Gundam TV shows; though the non-combat stuff is TV quality or below).

But usually OAV these days is more like "We can't get this on TV because no one will fund it, or it's inappropriate for TV, or we can't afford to do a TV show because it takes us 12 months to animate 30 mins with our team of 15 guys".  I think with Black Lagoon it was more that there wasn't enough material to animate a TV season and the audience for that kind of show has left and been replaced by the moe moe kyuun audience.


The trick with OAV I find is to just not watch it until it's done if you can.  That's what I did for Black Lagoon and so the wait time between eps didn't bother me.  Otoh, since Hellsing eps are years apart I watch them anyhow.


Btw, Himuro's Hellsing OAV > Hellsing TV comment on OAVs having better animation made me chuckle a bit considering the latest Hellsing OAV ep.  I wonder if we'll ever get the last 2 eps.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: cool breeze on April 05, 2012, 04:13:06 PM
Hunter X Hunter's were like that because the anime caught up to the manga.  If you compare the old anime to the manga or new anime, there're a lot of addition scenes or scenes that are stretched out.  HXH handled it really well by having filler that adds to the series instead of delaying story progression.  Just look at Dragon Ball Z taking 10 episodes to show Goku charge up or filler arcs from Kenshin, Naruto, or Bleach.  Eventually it hit that point where they had to end the series.  The anime ends in the middle of the yorkshin arc and the first OVA, which is excellent, finishes it up.  The final two dealing with Green Island, is when they rushed the animation and everything dropped in quality.

Kenshin's case is a weird since the first set is essentially a backstory to the final arc, and it was all done in regular Kenshin/children comic style, so overall lighter.  But since that final arc wasn't animated, that backstory was adapted into the darker, more adult oav.  The final arc from the anime was all filler.  The second oav was a really loose adaptation of the final manga arc done in the style of the first oav and it sucked.  And the first oav is really great.  So that whole battosai arc probably ended up better than it would have if the anime hadn't caught up the manga.

these are hunter x hunter spoilers, but just to compare the series to the latter oavs:

Watched Lupin.  Really cool art.  Otherwise ep was just ok.  Should have had more energy and "fun" for what it was.  Lupin is all about fun.  Just felt a little lackluster.  Definitely has potential though.

Lupin attached rockets to a giant cocaine statue and then shot it out into the ocean, what more do you want?

No, the scenarios were great.  It's just in execution those scenes were kind of average.  I think the directing was just a bit lackluster compared to the great art and crazy scenarios.  It was certainly no Miyazaki.


Duke Nukem Forever is case in point of that.  If you read the game design script it seems like the BEST GAME EVER of absolute ridiculous events one after another.  But in execution it was a shitty game.


What's weird is that this is the woman who directed Mitchiko to Hatchin and I thought Michiko to Hatchin felt more "Lupin" than the first ep of this.  I think it might be this one taking itself too seriously, whereas Michiko was a lighter fun show reminiscent of past Lupin.  Then again, it's only been 1 ep, so it's hard to judge and the show could be pretty good.

What are the best codec packs/players/add-ons for 10bit anime shows/rips?  I use the current CCCP pack and WMP Classic, but they can be a bit choppy or skip on occasion.

Are you using a 64-bit version of Windows? I was having problems with 10bit anime and it was because I was using the 32-bit version of WMPC and VLC.

You don't need 64bit players.

Uninstall old CCCP then Install latest one: http://cccp-project.net/

And at the settings page, tick LAV for H.264 then disable vsync/accurate vsync via MPC --> View --> Renderer Settings.

That's it.

Alternatively you can use PotPlayer: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148745 Should work right out of the box.

Turns out I didn't have the latest CCCP.   :-[  Already seems much smoother with the latest pack installed.

It's an optional thing I did because LAV codec stuttered for me with vsync ticked on. Anyway make sure you are using EVR custom pres. under View --> Options --> Playback (Output).

You might need latest DirectX runtime for it.

Upotte!!

Rating: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Let… let me see if.. let me see if I can explain this…

Seishou Academy is host to a bunch of moe girls who are also assault rifles, which is not a metaphor.

The lead character is FNC, an anthropomorphized Belgian rifle with a skeleton butt (which is a particular kind of gun butt, not that her butt is a skeleton… forget it), which is why she wears a thong..? She nearly has an orgasm one day at the local fair when a human boy shows up and demonstrates perfect rifle-handling form at the shooting gallery booth. She keeps imagining his big rifle-fondling hands on her, and can't help herself. This is how the show begins.

So all the girls in the school are also guns, and all of their sex organs correlate to a part on a rifle – their chest is the hand guard, their vaginas are apparently the muzzle and the butt is also the butt. One girl gets sick with stomach pains and goes in to first aid, where the nurse tells her her spring is out of whack while pressing on her belly, which makes a bunch of mechanical gun noises. So their insides are all gun parts, I guess, but they have squishy moe anime girl exteriors. It isn't like other things where the anthropomorphized OS or gaming console girls are just extensions of the product's identity, these girls are supposed to literally be assault rifles in moe girl form.

(http://i.imgur.com/MByQv.jpg)

Later we learn all the different types of gun-girl-crazy goddamn mutant hybrid monsters what the hell is going on in this show that there are, each one with a different moe personality. Eventually FNC meets up with the human teacher and he puts his hands on her head, which nearly gives her an… orgasm? Uncontrolled fire? I DON'T KNOW. Then she shoots him, for the second time in the episode. The end!

So here's what I'm going to give Upotte!! the credit it truly deserves: this is some of the absolute craziest, dumbest, weirdly creepiest shit I have ever seen in my life. Whoever is responsible for this show was out of their goddamn mind and it feels like someone said “hey, anyone wanna trigger another one of those “wacky crazy Japan!” American news articles? Let's freak everyone out!” It is bananas.

Watch Upotte!! if you are one of the following:
A person who honestly just wants to see how completely bonkers they're apparently willing to get these days in the anime industry
A dude who has such a strong gun fetish that you want to f*ck your guns but until now haven't really had a proper way to fantasize about doing that
But one thing is absolutely for certain: there are two eras in anime history. A time before Upotte!! existed, and now, which is where we're at.

We're through the looking glass, people.

It's not about jerking off.  It's like the music aspect of K-on.  Jerking off is more a plot device than the subject.

So I finished Roberta's Blood Trail and it was good but kind of weak in the very end because nothing really happened/changed and it felt almost like filler with no character/plot progress.


Then I read that in the manga this arc was half of the running manga so far (5 volumes out of 9), so it was basically 26eps worth of story that they condensed down to 5ep OAV and apparently changed the ending.  Whereas they followed the manga very accurately for the 26 TV eps of the show.  That explains a bit.  Might read the manga version of this arc over a weekend.  Kind of bummed to find out the manga is only like 5-6 chapters beyond this arc because it's one of those Berserk style ridiculously slow running ones.  Only 9 volumes over 10 years, eeek.

Would've been happy if at least Rock and Revy's relationship advanced some.  Eh, the first 26ep TV series stands good enough on its own to be a great show.  Who knows if the manga will ever finish to see a conclusion though.

It's not bad actually, a friend of mine suggested it to me a while back and I had the same misgivings about the manga, however after giving it a chance a few days ago, I do not regret reading it. Reminds me of Unbalance X Unbalance in a way, which is good.

He mopes for what is at best 6 chapters in the middle. He goes from scum > heartbroken > redemption. The redemption arc makes up for all the sobiness and the scum arc is pretty dumb fun mostly.

That looks terrible though.  Looks like Noir & Canaan.  But maybe I shouldn't judge it by the awful art.

I already commented on this once, but I will again. Jormungand isn't anything like Noir or Canaan. Those were serious business dramas with some action and lots of melodramatic characters. Jormungand is a fun action show about a bunch of lovable rogues who wind up in lots of crazy adventures. Like Cowboy Bebop, but replace "outer space" with "Eastern Europe."

Broken Blade ep1-2

The shit I put up with for my mecha fix. 


This is really bad :(  First of all, it's slooooooooooooooow and boring.  And then 2 hours in and the main character STILL HASN'T MADE A SINGLE ATTACK.  WTFFFFFFFF.  Who thought it was a good idea to spend the first 2 hours having the main character stand or fall or run or block and not have a single actual fight where he is attacking.  They even have a psycho-evil girl grunt just so you can watch her satisfyingly get destroyed and THE MAIN CHARACTER IS SO USELESS SHE HAS TO KILL HERSELF. 

And it's got all my anime tropes!  Crappy love triangle, FRIENDS WHO ARE NOW ENEMIES, subplots built entirely on MISUNDERSTANDINGS (You mean Zess didn't know the surrender terms?  You mean Rygar didn't kill Lee?  Smhhh) and my greatest foe in all mecha anime...THE PACIFIST LEAD CHARACTER.

If you're not going to fight, you don't get a cool mech
-god of anime universe

Stop giving me characters with mechs who don't want to use them.  It's not enjoyable at all.  Jesus.  As if Setsuna in the OO Movie wasting QUAN[T] entirely wasn't bad enough.  At least SEED did it right.  The whole thing Kira/Lacus go on about for the show, about how you can't just be a pacifist in a war if you want to sway people, you need to also BE THE MOST POWERFUL PILOT IN THE UNIVERSE AND CONSTANTLY PROVE IT so that other people will back down in deterrent.  I'm ok with leads who want to "not kill", but they need to be strong and determined enough to chop up all their enemies without killing them in a satisfyingly way.


Does this kid EVER become a badass fighter running around kicking people's ass without whining like a little runt?  This is important for if I watch the last 4 eps.

Lupin III - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine episode 02

(http://i.imgur.com/vvOrq.jpg)

Easily one of the coolest, most stylish animes since Cowboy Bebop. The look, the music, the characters, it's all perfectly tailored for anime fans that still remember back when the industry wasn't trying to squeeze every last cent out of the lowest common denominator.

Watched Jormungand ep1 - was better than I expected.  Fairly well made and paced.  But show is not for me.  Don't like the main girl at all and the whole concept of the show being about horrible murderers but hey it's filled with light comedy!  Just comes across as  :yuck

E7 AO was ...good!  Not as good as E7's first classic episode, but it's well made and interesting and the art and music and animation are all fantastic.  Next ep will show how the action animation is going to hold up.

Will be interesting to see how the pace is since it's going to be 26eps rather than 50 like E7.

Zetman's source (mango) was already good to begin with so it's no surprise.

But, like all long running mangos, you get tired of waiting for the next chapter and suddenly you drop reading it altogether.

Ok, think I saw all the ep1's worth a damn this season.  Lots of good shows.  If I was 18 again I would be in total anime watching mood for the next 3 months.  But uh, I have stuff to do, so going to limit the shows I watch.

Good shows in no particular order: Kids on the Slope, Eureka Seven AO, ZETMAN, Jormungand, Tsuritama, Lupin.


Going to stick with Kids on the Slope, E7 AO, Lupin along with Aquarion Evol & Gundam AGE.  If I have time I'll try to watch Zetman.  Good season.

Usually shows stay up permanently on Crunchyroll, although I do know of at least one show that was taken down after about a year. If you pay $8 a month, you get HD streams and Day 1 access.

BREAK BLADE 5-END

Ok, the final battle. 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
-Rygar jumps up and dives toward the general with ninja star
-General moves forward under him
-Rygar turns and throws it
-General tries to jump but it hits his foot and stumbles him
-Rygar pulls ninja star back and throws at stumbled general, cutting off 1 of his arms
-AT THIS POINT THE GENERAL GIVES UP COMPLETELY AND WALKS OUTSIDE HIS MECH SHOOTING HIS GUN

wtf

Everything shown so far with the general dude is that he will fight and fight and fight until he has nothing left.  It's not very satisfying for the finale fight that he just GIVES UP because he lost 1 arm and a foot.  He still had a good arm and a good foot.  I dunno.  The battle was good until that point and then it was just kind of "eh" end.
[close]

Giant Heavy Ninja Star is probably the stupidest final weapon upgrade ever.  That was the best they could come up with?

Also I think there's an inherent story problem in this movie because the main guy has zero fighting skills and his opponents are the ultimate skilled fighters.  Even with his strong mech, he never seems to have any breakthrough in becoming a good fighter.  He just sucks sucks sucks but occasionally gets a few good hits in or gets lucky.  I dunno, for a fighting mecha show that's not super satisfying.  You want the pilot to become good at piloting by the end and that's how he wins.


Complaints aside, it was pretty good.  It started off reaaaally slow and the first 2eps kind of suck.  Once it gets going it's a good political war mecha action show.  The character art reminds me of Lodoss as does some of the politics, the mech designs look EXACTLY like Nagano's Five Star Stories work, and the war with knight mecha and full cloth enemies and choir chanting music was very, very Escaflowne.  When the battles were going and intense and the choir was shouting it was fairly awesome.  Often the outcomes of the battles were kind of anti-climatic though.  But the actual combat tended to be good.  Also it was pretty bleak, basically everyone dies all the time and the bad guys usually win a lot. 

The ending was fairly complete even though the manga is still running.  Don't feel like I NEED to see what happens next in the manga, but if they animate more I wouldn't mind watching.  Don't care about Sasuke, so didn't mind that subplot not going anywhere.  Red hair dude was good.  His fight vs. Chainsaw Girl was satisfying.  Main guy still kind of sucked in the end like he didn't know who he really was or why he was fighting.  But at least he was sort of more confident than the start. 

I don't see how they can really do much with the sequel without a huge time skip since
spoiler (click to show/hide)
pretty much the entire kingdom was destroyed and everyone was evacuated.  All that's left is a palace.  It's like what is even left to lose at this point.

I'm not really sure what point you ended on.  But yeah, it hits a point where the manga keeps delaying the inevitable.  In fact the entire current arc is about Ashirogi wanting to end their manga early instead of stretching it.  It's all a really obvious nod to Death Note.

Um, what else happens? there's this new villain character who shows up.  His whole deal is "editors r stupid; internet communities (1st arc) or companies dedicated to manga study (2nd arc) are superior."  The fat old guy comes back as a villain.  Uhhh, Hiramaru and Aoki's relationship goes places.  There's another fat villain (literally an old character who's fat) who spills Mashiro and Azuki's secret on the internet creating nerd rage.  Eiji becomes #1 in Japan and ends his manga.  It's a lot of stalling.

So far from this season, I'we watched:

Lupin The Third: Fujiko Mine

(http://i.imgur.com/vHxzq.jpg)

Sylish reimagination of Lupin the Third. With two episodes out so far, both have been pretty impressive: stylish, cool, well directed, well animated...it's got everything in the making of a classic, even down to the minutia. Highly suggested, especially for Cowboy Bebop fans, as you experience first hand one of the main influences of that series. It's interesting seeing Lupin as if CB influenced it, and not the other way around.

Space Brothers

(http://i.imgur.com/iPssm.jpg)

An original show, it's about two brothers who promise to become astronauts. One has already made it, the other is an underdog who has to fight for everything he does, born in an unlucky year during an unlucky hour. It's very refreshing to see a drama like this in anime, that almost gives Planates flashbacks.

Kids on the Slope


(http://i.imgur.com/Jaenl.jpg)

Shinichiro Watanabe's new anime tv series, with Yoko Kanno tagging along. We talked about the supposed homosexual overtones before, and while they show up in the first episode, it's not really overt or anything. Like Space Brothers, this is also a refreshing anime television drama, but instead of reaching for the stars, it's down to Earth, almost slice of life. The first episode shows a lot of potential. It seems like it'll be like K-on! except you know...good, with a bit of Nodame thrown in for good measure. Bonus points if you're a jazz fan. Look at the album covers inside the jazz shop!

These three shows are really good examples as to why I became an anime fan in the first place and I'm not even done watching the rest of the shows I want to check out this season.

The fact that I can watch them legally without supporting subbers is just the icing on the cake.

Kids on the Slope reminds me of the high school parts of XXXholic.

And you should add in Eureka Seven AO.  It's the best show of the season so far.  Even just going by the art.  Duckroll had a good post about how detailed the art is for a TV show (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36987358&postcount=17062)

1. it's legal and supports the creators
2. it's convenient
3. i have not pirated an anime in years
4. i'm lazy, i don't feel like going to tt and dling shit, i'd rather just go to a site, type in the name, and stream it.
5. the translations tend to be better

The lack of a legal English streaming source for AO is concerning, especially since the Japanese blu-ray release WILL have English subtitles.

Seems like mecha shows just don't stream in general.  AO, AGE, EVOL.

There's this idea out there that English speakers don't care for shows with giant robots and want girl panties instead.  Not sure where this comes from, all of the guys I know would rather see a good robot action show than a good loli fanservice show.

Star Driver, Lagrange, and SRW OG got streams. My thoughts on AO and AGE not getting streamed borders on crazy conspiracy theories with Bandai Visual and the fact that they just don't care.

Mecha shows aren't really selling here. They're not driving the NA industry, sadly. Take a look at the Anime On DVD or Fandom Post forums, you'll see very few people talking about mecha titles.

mecha shows don't sell here because there's no longer a toonami - an outlet for showing mecha to teenagers and kids. they totally mismanaged mecha in the west. mecha had potential to become huge. transfomers and gundam wing were already big in the early 2000's.

I think it's more than just Toonami. Gundam SEED failed big time on Cartoon Network, and 00 and Gurren Lagann on Sci-Fi did jack squat. Geass did arlight on AS, but I don't know if that was due to it having mecha or not.

Gundam Seed failed big time on CN because people didn't even know it was on tv. Even I didn't know until I went to my friends dorm at college and saw it on tv and I watched every CN Gundam airing religiously.

No, it just doesn't work. I understand what they were going for with that, but it's like if you watch the first half of a movie and it's Arnold Schwarzenegger shooting a thousand dudes and then in the second half he's narrating a documentary about war atrocities in Africa. It doesn't gel. The creators spend all this time showing you over-the-top violence and crazy action scenes and the show's about these cold-hearted sons-of-guns who kills a hundred dudes [but they're still lovable] and then it's like "Oh, actually their whole world is totally screwed up and sadistic. Also, you're a bad person for enjoying this," before going right back to the over-the-top violence and crazy action scenes.

Plus, the whole psycho-killer, giggling kids thing has been done to death.

I liked it very much, well as much as you can like killing children. I thought it did a good job of articulating how fucked up that world actually is and how much rock stands out like a sore thumb. Rock was pretty powerless against Bala and at asserting his own sense of good on the situation in the end, which helps explain his motivations and strength in the last arc.

Don't watch Evol if you haven't seen Aquarion.  The entire selling point of the series is the connections to the previous series which ended on a sort of to be continued in 12,000 years.

Plus Aquarion so far, is 10x better of a show than Evol.


People, like Mr. Gundam, who think Aquarion (the original) is creepy never stuck with it.  It's a good show, especially if you like mecha.  It's a prime example of not judging a book by its cover.  The show has a lot of heart and humor.

I watched the first episode (which I think is 1-2 combined) and definitely see the past connection.  The sexual linking-thing really came off as just WEIRD and out of place, but whatever...typical anime stuff in this day and age.  :p  If I can find Aquarion somewhere to watch I'll check it out.

I'll check them out. I'm slowly coming back around to anime.

you can watch lupin on funimations site

and space brothers on crunchyroll

Also, the new Shinichiro Watanabe anime is good so far. Jormugand is great.
They stream in HD?

crunchyroll does, funi doesn't but the quality is still good

It can, but not with subtitles, which makes it useless for anime in that respect.

Pretty much everything I want to watch is on Hulu or Crunchyroll, though, so I'm rocking out with some anime on TV.

Useless then.  I have a ton of older stuff I'd like to watch and streaming has failed me with so much stuff being in .MKV format.  Fortunately it's easy enough to remove the HDMI cable from the dusty Apple TV under the TV and hook up my laptop for that stuff.

Yes.

I normally don't watch Go Nagaii shows, but this one is pretty good.  The main characters are cool and the monsters are fun fights.  It's just enough violence to be dark but enough HERO to be happy and satisfying.  The OP is good too.

Zetman's an okay dark/fantasy/action series, but the plot does jump around a bit because of how they're adapting it from the manga.

It is nothing at all like something Go Nagai would do.   Zetman is by Masakazu Katsura...the guy who made Video Girl Ai, Shadow Lady, and DNA2.  If anything, Zetman looks more like a monster-fied Batman- Katsura is a huge fan of the character.  Zetman is also way, way more serious than all his previous panty-shot filled works.

The official website of the anime studio Kyoto Animation (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, K-ON!) announced the results of the third Kyoto Animation Award program on Friday. However, the studio awarded no grand prizes or honorable mentions in the manga or novel categories.

The judges committee thanked creators for submitting their works but said they could select no winning works after reviewing the submissions. This year was the first time that the awards program did not include a scenario category. Kyoto Animation offered 500,000-yen (about US$6,200) grand prizes and 100,000-yen (US$1,200) honorable mention prizes in this year's awards.

Post by: Bebpo on April 27, 2012, 11:36:20 PM
I'm watching 8 shows now, which is probably the most anime I've followed weekly in 10 years.  6 are from this season.  My rankings after 3-4eps from each!

1. Eureka Seven AO
2. Tsuritama
3. Lupin the 3rd A Woman Named Fujiko
4. Kids on the Slope
5. Zetman
6. Gundam AGE
7. Aquarion Evol
8. Jormungand

Kind of surprised by Tsuritama.  At first was just kind of ok, but it's really good now.  Very fun show.  If E7 AO wasn't great, it'd be the best thing airing.  Kids on the Slope is a little disappointing I think.  It's very well done, but it's kind of typical Japanese school romance (and not on the Karekano caliber or anything) when it's not doing the jazz stuff; kind of an odd choice for Watanabe comeback tbh.  Jormungand is competent but I hate every character in every ep so far.  I dunno why I keep watching.  Will probably drop it after next weeks ep.  Zetman is good.

I also checked out Hyouka ep1 and it has ridiculously good movie quality animation as expected from KyoAni but I don't need another "kids in high school" anime right now.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Himu on April 27, 2012, 11:40:23 PM
Tsuritama is the show with the badass water art, right?

Watch Space Brothers, you doof.

Also, I think Kids on the Slope is more slice of life than romance.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Bebpo on April 27, 2012, 11:50:43 PM
I hope so, then when they get past this romance stuff that's from a million other anime it'll get more interesting. 

I think the style of it is really good.  It feels like a 1970s TV anime.  The characters are good too.  ep3 was just a little weak I thought because of all the typical romance miscommunication trope stuff.

And yes, Tsuritama is the show about fishing with lots of cool water animation.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Great Rumbler on April 28, 2012, 12:27:35 AM
I'm watching ten shows right now:

1. Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine [stylish and cool all the way around]
2. Space Brothers [really good show, needs more outerspace though]
3. Tsuritama [weird but fun]
4. Mysterious Girlfriend X [really weird but fun]
6. Kids on the Slope [not the greatest show, but very enjoyable and the jazz angel is nice]
5. Jormungand [would be higher if the production values and direction were better]
7. Dusk Maiden of Amnesia [Shaft-esque guff with some supernatural stuff]
8. Zetman [cliched with a rushed plot, but still a good enough show to watch; love those throwback character designs]
9. Accel World [kinda okay, but it seems to be settling into fight-of-the-week nonsense that I don't care about]
10. Sankarea [currently on the cusp, I've only watched the first episode]

FMA movie #2:

Great art & animation.  A lot of the action is ridiculously fluid and very well storyboarded.  The problem is unlike Sword of the Stranger where the awesome action is awesome because you're invested in the fights outside of the animation aspect, here because the story is super meh and rushed and your usual weak anime movie, there's no attachment to anything going on so all the great animation feels like a waste.  It's like watching an AMV of awesome animation scenes, but with story bits between them.  It's not a bad bad movie.  Better in story than the last FMA movie, but it's pretty average which is sad because the animation is soooo good.  Guess I'd still recommend it if you've seen the series.

GIANT PICS BECAUSE THE ART IS GOOD AND SHOULD BE SEEN IN FULL RES:

I've been watching:

-Lupin III: Fujiko is a slut and fucks everybody, even Zenigata, and steals shit edition
-Jormungand (oddly enjoyable)
-Dusk Maiden of Amnesia (fun story)
-Moretsu Pirates (still going on from last season...26 episode series)
-Shining Hearts: Shiawase No Pan UGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuu
-Queen's Blade Rebellion for some outrageously-embarrassing stupid combat n' titties
-Medaka Box (does this go anywhere?)

Haven't watched Zetman past the first episode yet.  Dunno why.  I think it's finding out that the manga is way, way longer and in-depth.  My wife really likes Moretsu Pirates, Jormungand, and Shining Hearts, which is incredibly slow-paced.

My favorite recent show is still The Daily Lives Of High School Boys.  Nothing as fun as that is on this season.

Eventually it becomes grim-dark shounen stuff, though I guess it's up to you as to whether that counts as "going anywhere."

And Jormugand's main problem is the flat direction and too-low budget. Nothing wrong with a little senseless violence.

Eureka Seven AO ep4

Holy shit.  This episode was amazing.  Best TV anime episode I've seen in a while.  It felt like the best eps of the 90s/early 00s great anime.  Direction, music, writing, animation were all perfect.  There wasn't a single stain of modern anime's terrible tropes and fanservices contained within the ep.  It was just channeling pure classic anime goodness.  So good!!!

Any of you ever watched Macross 7?  Thinking about watching it this summer since it's the only Macross I haven't seen.  I know the music is popular and the main guy Basara is cool, but there's like 49 ep TV show, a movie, an encore OAV, dynamite OAV; that's a lot of Mac 7!  Especially since from what I know from the games it's been in, it doesn't really have a lot of plot.  I'm curious if it's actually a good show?

Also kind of weird that despite how popular Macross is, there's only been 3 Macross TV shows with the original, Mac7, and MacF.  You'd think it'd be more like Gundam with a new Macross every 3-4 years.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Great Rumbler on May 12, 2012, 10:04:44 PM
Everything I've heard about Macross 7 is that it's terrible, and that coming from people that like the rest of the franchise. Neither Shoji Kawamori nor Noboru Ishoguro really had much to do with it, although the former was credited as "story concept and supervisor" which I would imagine amounted to not very much.

I actually had the whole thing on Chinese bootleg DVD that I bought ages ago because it looked interesting but then never watched it beyond a few minutes of the first episode.

The appeal of Toonami back in the day was coming home from school and watching rad cartoons. That is what built up their audience. They think that people will tune into Toonami every night because a bunch of people who have nostalgia watching Toonami just like I described watched it on April 1? One night? Toonami faded out BECAUSE they stuck it in with Adult Swim instead of pandering to teenagers, y'know, the audience that made it popular to begin with.

So apparently this thing needs 2x the current AS Action ratings to be considered a success.

Why even bother resurrecting the branding if you're going to give it the short end of the stick, and then expect unrealistic goals from it? Casshern Sins, a show that's on DVD, Netflix, and a tonne of streaming sites - legally, and illegally in both English and Japanese isn't going to be bringing home some big numbers.

"Every night?"

This is just Saturdays. The revival is mirroring gen 3 (Saturdays-only) Toonami in more than just the CG bumpers they're re-using. It sucks but this is probably the only way they could convince them to bring it back.

Started watching some glorious nippon animation again, starting with the feel good show of 2012 Tsuritama

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/bebpo/vlcsnap-2012-05-26-00h32m30s61.jpg)


Such a great show.  The art is gorgeous, the music is great, and it's a great story of overcoming social anxiety through fishing.  Pretty funny at times too and it's able to dodge most tropes (except for the stereotypical curry eating Indian). 

It's directed by the guy that did Trapeze and Mononoke.  Mononoke was a little too slow and serious for me, but I loved Trapeze for its FUN and colors everywhere.  Tsuritama is kind of inbetween the two, but leaning more toward being like Trapeze.

Space Brothers gets better and better. Every episode I watch, grows more emotional than the last. This anime makes me want to fulfill my goals every single time I watch it; it gives me power. I really, really like it.

Space bros is starting to piss me off with pandering to people interested in Mutta's childish romances and the general slice of life it is right now. I watch Kids on the Slope for that, I want more working towards NASA and a faster progression on that plot thread instead of wasting a whole ep at a damn party where at best one interesting motivation to, and one to not become an astronaut was revealed.

Is this about the latest ep? I disagree. I think each episode tackles something different. This episode is about what an astronaut is prepared for and even sacrifices to do their jobs on top of what drives the main characters to do what they do. I find it a pretty empowering episode.

Man, Zetman, this is the best shounen anime I've seen since like Hikaru no Go and Kenshin.  I like how the story is generally pleasing instead of taking the obvious angsty crap like having Kouga think Jin is a monster on the bad guy side and having misunderstandings and angsty sasuke/naruto shit.  It's actually like THINGS WORK IN A SATISFYING WAY, which uh, surprisingly makes for a satisfying show!  Who'd have thought.  A show about bros.

This last ep (10) was pretty fucked up though.  Eek.  The badguys are very, very dark messed up villains.  It's like watching Saw except with a ton of censorship.  Need to figure out what manga chapter anime is going to leave off on in a couple of eps so I can jump into the manga.

Though I wish they would just do a Season 2 since the Gundam allstar seiyuu group makes the voices so so good.  SETSUNA x SHINN x RIDDHE x EVERYONE.  Honestly if you google all the guys in the show, they've ALL been in Gundam series.  It's almost like the casting director was a big gundam fan :P

Space Bros pissed me off again. I think I'll be dropping this till the season is done, I cannot stand this painfully slow progression and filling time with Mutta's antics just pisses me off more. I'll be suggesting to anyone that wants to watch this to wait till the whole season is done first.

Only in that both feature impossibly-awkward leads. In Kimi ni Todoke, Sawako only needs a makeover to do away with half her problems and very early on gets a boyfriend, while also having several close friends who help her along the way. Her awkwardness is lighthearted, often played for humor's sakes. In Watashi ga Motenai, Tomoko is cursed with impossibly-bad luck, is utterly wretched and loathsome while being simultaneously pitiable, and is the poster-child for Forever Alone. Her awkwardness is borderline unbearable, but also utterly hilarious.

Some people don't think too highly of it, but I really liked it. Kinda steampunk-ish, with lots of airship battles and some plucky kids characters [that aren't quite as annoying as they could have been, see: Last Exile's sequel] going on adventures in-between wars and political intrigue. It also came out back when TV series still had pretty good budgets and back when Gonzo was at the top of their game.

I didn't care for the new characters and it felt like it indulged way too much in that girls club moe slice-of-life that the industry has been peddling more of since K-On came out. Of course, there were action scenes and political intrigue, but it didn't really engage me because I didn't about any of the stuff surrounding it. Maybe it gets better after the first six episodes but I'll probably never know.

Slice of life is fine, when its in its place. I don't want rampant slice of life in my action series, I want action in my action series. Maybe it would have been more tolerable if I liked the main characters more, of if the writing was better, but I didn't and it wasn't. So, again, watch the original and skip the sequel.

I'm not against the genre. Azumanga Daioh, Kamichu, Haibane Renmei, and Aria are all great, some of my favorite series, and I'd be all over a Yotsuba series if one ever got made, but there's also a lot of those shows that are just terrible, bland and boring or, worse, indulgent in fan-service in addition to being about nothing. But what I really dislike is when it bleeds over into other genres, that's just not something I have any patience for at all.

I really enjoy the whining of people who didnt get to see their pairings happening, even in the manga kobayashi gave a big fuck you to pairing tards. If you were watching it for the pairings, and not the comedy the pairings created you are doing it wrong. Besides it's pretty much heavy handedly hinted at who Harima(Kobayashi's) life partner is (no it's not who he ends up with in the manga).

since great rumbler suggested it,i've watched redline,the racing bits are cool,like really cool but i don't like the rest of the movie... it feels like they just stretched it so it would be the proper movie size,compare to dead leaves where it's always "BANGBANGBANGBOOOOOOOOOMMMMACTIONACTIONACTION"

also ending needed more

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFtw7qW7Vcw

maybe he could have throw himself at the giant robo guy while screaming "POMPADOUR HEADBUTTTTTTTTTTTT"

i've also read "the crater" it's a bunch of short stories with a "twlight zone" twist by osamu tezuka,some are neat and some are stupid

spoiler (click to show/hide)
in one of them a bunch of aliens camouflage themselves as prison fugitive and take hostage a random family while trying to suck osamu tezuka brain as they believe osamu tezuka hold secrets on how to conquer the earth,they succed but as they return to their hideout,the police bust them......

....only to discover that the police wanted to bust the family they were holding hostage because they were actual real criminals on disguise,the story ends with the aliens turning into mangaka's since they now have osamu tezuka mentality

in another,there is a dumb kid who lives in a country town with his big brother,his big brother is telling him the fable of momotaro (http://fairytales4u.com/story/momotaro.htm) but then it turns out that aliens (i swear these two are the only stories with aliens in them!) have implanted a machine on his little brother so they could (again) extract info on how to attack the earth,so the dumb kid tells them momotaro tales like they are straight fact and the big brother discover this

the big brother at first thinks of calling the authorities but then decide it would just trigger the actual invasion,so instead he modify the tales of momotaro so that the demon of the fairytale are actualy the alien that are invading and momotaro treasure is a nuclear bomb that wiped them all,the alien gets scared and decide to retreat

I think Casshern Sins is a top anime. I regard it very highly and it even sneaks into my Top 10 of all time lists when I am in the mood.The music is superb, the action scenes are well choreographed and tell a story themselves, the plot is a strange journey of depression and redemption in a pessimistic decaying world. The interplay between Dio and Casshern is fantastic. I just wish they fleshed out some of the chars more, but they all evolve very much throughout the show, Casshern the slowest for obvious reasons. They spend a lot of time touching on the Lore of the universe as well. And the music is out of this world great.

I really fell in love with Casshern when I was a kid, when I saw the opening for the first time it just rekindled that love

It's the only anime I watch at this point, just because I'm familiar with hunter x hunter.  the new anime on the whole is a downgrade from the first one.  This exact moment in the original anime is handled better too.  But it's still nice to see well animated fight choreography.

i've read pluto,one of the most famous story of astro boy is the one where an evil sheik decide to destroy the world seven most powerfull robot by building a robot called pluto,this reimagining is done by the 20th century boys artist and the art is like... really amazing,the whole thing has also been turned into some sort of noir story (one of the character introduced in this version is an hannibal the cannibal like robot :lol) and instead of having astroboy as the protagonist,the story is told by the point of view of gesicht,a robot detective that also suffers from amnesia

and it's really good at first when the plot is all about him and it's quite awesome to see such a cartoonish plot being turned into a more serious one,but then the plot turn stuuuuuuuupid with stuff like "MY HATE IS STRONGER THAN YOUR HATE" and the character are like "emotionemotionemotionemotionemotion" the funny thing is that you'd expect the original version of the story to be like that since that's the one that is more cartoonish but no! it's all stuff introduced in this version

so yeah i guess the artist is just incapable of writing endings or something

Lupin was kind of a mess, really.  I didn't like the Fujiko-centered episodes and liked the ones with Lupin/Jigen way more- there's a problem when your title character is boring.

The ending also made no fucking sense-

"it was all false memories but I was already a thief and a slut anyway LOL!"

And since we didn't know about the girl and her mother being the antagonists this whole time, there was no reason to care about them.

Moretsu Pirates also ended.  I really enjoyed it and it was nice to see an "early 90s-style" anime go on for 26 episodes without faltering along the way.

Moretsu Pirates, I felt, never got close to living up to the potential of the early episodes. Everything was played way too safe. Dramatic tension never had the time to build, action scenes got resolved too quickly, the characters rarely were anything other than totally pleasant to one another, there was a distinct lack of genuine piracy, and it just hardly ever felt like any real danger existed. Maybe the last 3 episodes really blow the lid off the thing, but I'm not holding out a great deal of hope there.

It wasn't that kind of show and never presented itself as such, other than the very beginning when a bunch of dudes all tried to go after Marika when she was offered the captain's position. 

There's a bit more tension at the end because of the seemingly-unstoppable "pirate-hunter" ship,
spoiler (click to show/hide)
but after gathering together, all of the pirates kick its ass pretty easily.

  They also drop a number of hints that everything that has happened is pretty inconsequential and that there's a much bigger "sea" out there with more going on.  I'd like to see another season.

The piracy stuff not being genuine is also addressed at the end, BTW.

Post by: Great Rumbler on July 02, 2012, 12:37:07 PM
I would be fine with all that if it was at least more adventurous. It seemed like nearly every episode teased that something big was going to happen in the next episode, but it just never did. Instead it was setup -> quick resolution -> everybody winds up back at school by the end. The series started out pretty good, but 26 episode of it has just really worn thin without anything of consequence happening to punch things up.

It's just too much modern anime slice-of-life dressed in the trappings of something bigger. Same problem I had with Sora no Woto. I'm not saying it's a bad show, and it's better than a lot of what's out there these days, but I'm still ultimately disappointed by it.

I actually took a gander at three animes this past week.

First was Kids on the Slope. I liked this one, though it had some rough parts. They animated the jam sessions well and the two male characters were interesting. The setting of 1960s Japan adds a lot to the series.

Polar Bear Cafe. This is sort of wtf. I don't know what to say. I watched two episodes and wasn't hooked. It does have a llama. It's got that going for it.

Right now, I'm watching Usagi Drop. I really like this one. Heavier subject matter with interesting characters. If nobody's seen this, the show is about a 30 year old career man who ends up taking care of a six year odl girl, who seems to be the daughter of his recently deceased grandfather. It's a little hard to swallow that such an old man could father a child, but I'm going with it for now.

Here's something to wash away the bitter after-taste of modern anime:

Natsuyuki Rendezvous - It's a romance about a guy who's in love with a woman. Unfortunately, the woman's deceased husband is still hanging around in ghost form, but only the guy can see him. The characters are adults, there are no hijinks, and fanservice is not a factor here. Watch and enjoy this latest offering from noitaminA.

Ok, Zetman sort of worked.  I wasn't sure about it in the 2nd to last ep because it seemed kind of a mess at the end, but by the end of the final ep...it works as an origin story.  Like Zetman anime = Spiderman 1.  They did a pretty good job taking a long ass manga and picking and pulling to make a 13ep general fast paced show that tells the origin of ZETMAN and ALPHAS.  They can do future seasons if they want, but this stands fairly well on its own.

Best part of the show was the music though.  The main symphonic themes were really good!

This was so impressive for its time.  X as a whole was such a major influence on manga/anime and Japan.  Hell, the Psychic Force games were based completely on X.  X was also the biggest troll in the history of manga.  Writing it for 10 years, getting to the final climax cliffhanger and then abandoning the series lololollolololol

CLAMP are the ultimate trolls.  And now they are very very rich trolls :P

Post by: Bebpo on July 06, 2012, 03:49:53 AM
I read xxxHolic (never finished the last two volumes though) and the first few volumes of Tsubasa. 

The problem is that CLAMP started getting lazy around when they started Tsubasa, and everything since has been pretty mehhhhhhhh.


CLAMP back in the day was good!

X
Clover
Suki Dakara Suki
All their one off shorts
Lawful Drug
Chobits
etc....

Anyhow, one day they will go back when they need to buy a new mansion and restart X and draw out the final volume slooooowly and it'll probably be a letdown because CLAMP of today is not CLAMP of 1999.

Also to show the widespread reach of how POPULAR X was, it's the only anime to date that my mom actually liked that's not Miyazaki.


Even the Persona 3/4 games are inspired by X.  It's crazy what a big deal it was only to NOT END lololololol.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Momo on July 06, 2012, 04:06:29 AM
I'm kinda taken aback by someone's mom liking X considering the graphic nature of it. Tsubasa especially is a love story to all that is CLAMP that came before, but it is also the reason I dislike it. Feels like an "all stars" ep and not a real thing by itself. And the fact that a lot of xxxHolic's story progression happens in the infinitely less worthy sister manga Tsubasa pissed me off. xxxHolic is by far greater.

Eh, The Matrix had violence/sex too. 

People like X because it's dark and exciting.  It's Battle Royale meets Street Fighter.  Good people forced to fight each other to the death in a battle for the end of the world.  Of love, friendship, betrayal, and lots and lots of death.  It's the kind of tale that excites the core human emotions and appeals to anyone.

Plus awesome capes/mantles & cherry blossoms.

There is a difference between Matrix violence/sex and pulling a magical sword out of ones dead mother's vagina. (hyperbole) The kind of graphic scenes in X is the kind of stuff I expect adults of the 80's/90's to be offended/outraged at.

It's starts good, with lots of promise for Ghibli-style adventures but that is all a LIE.

There's three movies, actually, but one of them is just a recap of the series. King of Eden and Paradise Lost are all new content picking up after the end of the series. Some people aren't that big on the movies [either of them] but some people really like them, so just do ahead and watch both so you can get the complete package.

Cool. Also got the Vesperia First Strike BD today. It's funny, the Western reviews complain about all these new characters who aren't in the game, but still get plenty of screen time and focus.


They're in the PS3 version. That will just give the whiners even more reason to keep whining.

Yeah I thought JoJo's was still on-going?

The whole series is divided up into stories that take place in different times and places, IIRC, with only a few supporting characters that show up in multiple storylines.  Different main characters too.  I'd like to read it all some day.

Hell, the Psychic Force games were based completely on X.

And that came full-circle with TV Animation X Unmei no Tatakai for PS1...essentially a re-skinned Psychic Force 2 with new backgrounds and music.

X was also the biggest troll in the history of manga.  Writing it for 10 years, getting to the final climax cliffhanger and then abandoning the series lololollolololol

They never finished it?!

They're doing the current series which I've NEVER read.

I wholeheartedly suggest reading JoJo. It is AWESOME and the definition of manime. If you want something along the lines of Fist of the North Star, but crazier, read JoJo.

Clamp has yet to finish X. Apparently they say the intended ending is just too graphic and offensive. I guess their editors kinda freaked out on them in 2003 based on the material Either that or they're just lazy.

X started serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Asuka on May 1992. Publishing the series proved troublesome on account of its subject matter. The disasters it shows are reminiscent of ones that happened in Japan such as earthquakes or murders committed by juveniles. Serialization stopped in March 2003 and in March 2005 Clamp stated they were searching for a proper magazine to conclude it.

They are so full of BS lololol

They didn't finish the manga because they realized if they finished it, it would lose popularity as people forgot about it and they wouldn't be able to keep selling X merchandise and milking that cash cow.  Instead just leaving it in the air gave them years and years of merchandising before people gave up and moved on.  I really think it was a calculated decision to make more $$$.  Either that or they couldn't think of a good way to end the series and they didn't want fans to look back on the series as a huge letdown in the end, so they just chose not to finish it.

Look at Kamiyama's past three series [which he both wrote and directed]: Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex, Moribito, and Eden of the East. He's easily one of the top talents in the industry, although that's not really very hard right now.

It's funny when even mature sounding anime like Mushi-Shi turn out to be focused on little children. Little children with a little too much wisdom for their age, of course. Fuck anime of this kind already, jesus.

That's a pretty big stretch. A few of the kids had "too much wisdom," but a lot of them were just kids who got caught up in something they couldn't understand. And they were certainly never the show's anchor.

Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine

All from this past season; the first two are on Funimation streaming, Space Brothers is on Crunchyroll, and Zetman is on Hulu.

I was surprised to see how much violence is in the cartoons in general; not Pokémon or anything super-young targeted, but there's blood and death and stuff that is verboten in US kid shows.

Also, if you liked Battle of the Planets, see the original Science Ninja Gatchaman; there are peeps getting machine-gunned wholesale in it.

Episode 26 was insanely awesome. Up through episode 38 now.

The movie is so freaking bad.  Best to not think they are related in any way.


Anyhow, glad you finally watched it.  It's really the last "epic" mecha show we've gotten from Japan.  The world's so big and developed and the scale is pretty spectacular.  The scene in Ep49 where Holland rams into Dewey's mothership and starts firing is still incredible.  The stuff with the monk and sakuya are great.  As is the outspace stuff, the dancing ball, the stuff with anemone and THE END in the last few eps, and then the final episode is just COLOR OVERLOAD I CAN FLYYYYY LOVE & PEACE.

It definitely has its share of problems and they sort of drop the ball on proper plot wrap ups in the finale for LOVE & PEACE WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING; but even with its flaws.  The art, the animation, the music, the characters, the mecha; it's such a good show.


Now you can start watching AO!  I hear it's like LOST: the anime these days; which doesn't sound very promising.  I need to catch up.

lol did Cartoon Network give Toonami $5 as an operating budget? They're going to air Samurai 7 (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-31/samurai-7-anime-debuts-on-toonami-on-august-19), a show so old that it already aired on a different US network when the original run of Toonami still existed.

I had no interest in it, but fuck Atlus. Make the Japanese audio encoded with hard subs. SMH.

Wait, the DVDs still have he JP audio? It's just the BDs? Really fuck them in the ass. Assholes.

Watched the DYRL blu-ray last night. Heellloooo 1980s! I haven't watched this in ages, I forgot just how much it screams 80s, and how much Hikaru looks like an elf. :lol

Some scenes are absolutely gorgeous, while others are strangely blurry. The edits are not noticeable unless you've watched the movie a million times and are totally obsessed with it.

Any of you mugs watching Muv-Luv? It's been decent so far, though the budget isn't particularly great and fan service does make an appearance about once or twice an episode. It does, however, have male characters that are thankfully more interesting than cardboard and a few female characters that won't make you want to stab your own eyes out [although there are a few there that might]. The first couple of episodes are like an anime version of Starship Troopers with high school girls and the next three have some Top Gun action going on.

I am.  Seems like a decent mecha-vs-aliens anime.  The fan service is no surprise since Muv-Luv was originally a PC hentai game, hence the ridiculously-skin tight pilot suits.  Total Eclipse is an alternate version of the game's story with aliens and violence and whatnot.  Apparently most of the "real" Muv Luv cast isn't even in Total Eclipse.

The first two episodes have a completely different tone than what three and four have shown (haven't watch episode five yet).  It's all high school girls GANBARE FOR GLORIOUS NIPPON (but serious) and gets pretty gory at the end. 

Then the whole show switches gears with episode three and you get a different setting and cast, with the main character now being the male Yuuya Bridges.

There's also a scene in episode four that is ridiculously racist against the Japanese.  I was watching it with my (Japanese) wife and we both just LOL'd because it was way, way too over the top.   :lol  Was surprised that nobody upload that scene to Youtube.

Yes, I have read all of Dragonball. Watched Dragonball anime too, it was cute but nothing I'd hold up in my top lists. By the time I started with Dragonball Z(anime), I was already very familiar with Togashi so it just came off as B-tier by comparison.

EDIT: To be clear, I read all of Dragonball first (including the second half which would become the "z" chapters), then watched the Dragonball anime, then went on a heavy Togashi trip reading and watching YuYu and starting off with HxH then jumping back into the "Z" anime. By the time I saw "Z" animated it was already absolutely ethered by Togashi in my mind.

Binbougami Ga!- Is about a goddess of misfortune who is sent to earth to bestow bad luck on a girl with a massive amount of good fortune.  Pretty much all wacky comedy...watched the first two episodes and enjoyed it.  Especially liked that the good-luck girl trolls her jealous classmate,s instead of getting all stereotypically-down when they talk about her, and the gags related to other manga/anime.

Hagure Yuusha No Estecia- The plot is about a high school full of kids who gain magic abilities, travel to other dimensions, then come back and learn to use their powers.  The main character is the strongest but the head of the student council is his rival and blah blah blah.  Now brush that to the side and fill the show with various females and turn up the H-level to staggering proportions- lesbian chick fingering and fondling other girls?  Check.   Main dude trying to sleep-fuck the girl who girl who lives with him?  Check.  Three girls peeing themselves at the same time?  Che-- WAIT WHAT THE FUCK?  Yeah, it goes there.  I was fuckin' speechless...made my wife start cracking up so I guess we got some entertainment out of it.   :lol

I finished watching the first episode of the Wild 7 OVA tonight. This show's awesome, it's basically a mash up of Inglorious Basterds and 70's-80's vigilante cop movies in anime form. A nice palette cleanser, if you will.

I still don't approve of Anime and think ya'll will burn in hell, but I just stumbled on this track from Gundam Seed which I used to adore, and wanted to share it with someone. :violin

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CelYrLIoDGY

Years and years ago, during my uguu~ phase, I had a section of this track as a ringtone for an entire semester. My then 4 year old baby sister liked it so much that she started singing it, obviously in gibberish. Half of my family thought it was cute, recorded her singing it, then started using it as their ringtones for a few months. Ahhh, would someone turn back time already?

Gundam Seed was pretty good. Sure it was very angsty, but I enjoyed it. They did get it right with the insert songs though. I can't say I would listen to that song outside of Seed, but they sure chose to play it at some pretty great parts.

Speaking of ringtones. These are my current two.

Exactly. Although I wasn't a big fan of SEED when all was said and done, but I thought the way they used the song the first time was brilliant.

I found a torrent with the whole thing in dubbed format, so I watched part of the first episode yesterday. And yeah, it is absolutely insane in every way imaginable, like someone took the idea of Dirty Harry to the furthest possible extreme and then filtered it through a culture that had no familiarity with what they're dealing with. It would be offensive if it weren't so ridiculous, which almost certainly has to be intentional.

Robotics;Notes - Looks good from what I've seen, will give it a shot
Hidamari Sketch season 4 - Guilty pleasure
Psycho-Pass - Not much information, but the little bit that's out there sounds good
Code:Breaker - Might be good [plus the director's previous work has been solid]
Jormungand season 2 - YES
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Will definitely have to watch this
Shin Sekai Yori - Seems like it might be good
Girls und Panzer - Hit and miss director with hit and miss writer
K - Don't know much about this, but seems somewhat interesting
Kyousogiga - Looks really imaginative and weird

Well it's not so weird if you played Neptunia games :lol

Quote
Players control Neptune, one of four goddess who is involved in a series of events known to many as the Console Wars. The story begins when the four goddesses are fighting each other, but this results in nothing after a while, so Black Heart comes up with a quick solution, which is picking which one of the four to remove from the battle right now. At this point, they all start to figure this out, and it eventually ends up that Neptune is chosen by majority. Unfortunately, Neptune bragged earlier that she could single-handedly defeat the other three goddesses, which results in a 1 vs. 3 fight against Neptune.

OK. But I want more. There's still a lot of Light Novel/Manga content they have yet to get through, although I'm unsure if the anime went on its own tangent making it impossible to adapt... (just started reading the manga, since I need my DRRR fix.)

Wasn't DRRR somewhat popular? I remember seeing Celty everywhere when it was airing, Shizuo punching that guy making his clothes fly off GIF, Adult Swim's kept it around after its run (on its website), etc.

Speaking of Bandai, their entire catalog is going out of print in November, so buy up anything you still want ASAP.

So, we're basically down to Sentai and Funimation [and a few smaller outfits that might release one or two things in an entire year] and both of those are beginning to lean more heavily on streaming services.

I'll recommend some stuff that hasn't been mentioned already.

TV Series:
Planetes (DVD)
Scrapped Princess (DVD)

Movies:
Girl Who Leapt Through Time (blu-ray)
Sword of the Stranger (blu-ray)

Really curious what will happen with previous volumes of Gundam UC? I know they'll take preorders for the last two volumes and release them for those who are willing to pay right away, but will there be extras for people down the road?

I did give it a fair shake I think, I tend to watch at least 6 eps or so before I give something a pass. It could likely have been very good, but if I am recalling the time period correctly I may have been deep into occult/folktake anime then - xxxholic, ghost hound and such (I really still am deep into the sub genre with Natsume, Bakemonogatari and such). It may just have been a case of a too full schedule to complete something I had mixed feelings about.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/production-ig/masaaki-yuasas-kick-heart

Quote
Kick-Heart is a love story between Romeo, a successful pro-wrestler, and Juliet, a nun who lives a secret double-life as a female pro-wrestler. Romeo's secret is that he enjoys taking a beating in the ring, while Juliet feels invigorated when facing her opponents as a wrestler. When the two meet in the ring, the fireworks fly. Their story is set in the colorful backdrop of the professional wrestling world. Will Juliet reveal her true identity to the one she loves? Will Romeo be able to share his secret to the world?

Another show this season that shows some promise is K. It's hard to tell exactly where the story is going, except that there's two factions using supernatural powers to fight for control of some futuristic city and the main character is caught between them. The characters themselves are...cool, but that's really it so far. However, the animation is fantastic, almost movie-quality, which is incredible considering it just a TV series and corners often get cut hard and fast. This actually has background motion and very few shots that are just pans across a still frame, stuff's constantly moving around. The art is really great, too, very futuristic and stylish. The soundtrack really stands out, too. It definitely is hitting the right notes for me in a lot of ways, hopefully the story kicks in soon and is interesting and the characters don't just exist to be cool but flat. I can see some otaku-baiting going on, but it isn't nearly enough to really hurt the show.

Feels a bit like Durarara!! mixed with Darker Than Black.

My love for GitS [especially the series] is that it's one of the few scifi shows that really takes seriously the idea of presenting how advances in technology and the creation of new technologies might affect people's lives and society as a whole. It's the rare science-fiction show with an emphasis on the science half.

And I also love the characters, plots, animation, art, music, ect.

Paradise Kiss uses Franz Ferdinand's "Do You Want To?" for the ED.
Eden of the East uses Oasis' "Falling Down" for the OP.

Heck, there is some show that used a Backstreet Boys song in the early to mid 00s.

Also, the live-action Space Battleship Yamato movie's theme is a new Aerosmith song.

Weekly Playboy News released an interview with director Motohiro Katsuyuki and writer Urobuchi Gen about new anime Psycho-Pass. Monohiro said he didn't allow the production staff to use the word "moe" in the discussion meeting. "This anime goes against the current trend of anime industry. So it'll either be a complete failure or a great success." Urobuchi said Motohiro protects him from noitamina producer's demands to add appealing elements for female audience.
 
Urobuchi said this anime has cruel scenes both physically and mentally. Motohiro joked that he wanted kids audience to have a trauma for life by watching this anime.

Psycho-Pass is definitely the opposite of moe, which is very commendable, but it also tries way too hard to be dark and edgy, which makes it all a bit ridiculous.

Post by: Freyj on October 14, 2012, 12:45:20 AM
I liked the first episode, hopefully it sticks with the S.A.C. episodic criminal of the week style.

Not really digging the "rookie" angle much, but I've dealt with it before.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Great Rumbler on October 14, 2012, 01:46:19 AM
Since pretty much everything's already had at least one episode, I'll do some quick impressions:

Psycho-Pass - Tries to hard to be dark and edgy, which makes it a bit ridiculous. Promising, at least, so there's plenty of reason to give it another episode or two.

Btooom! - Did you like Gantz? Then this is your "all humans are unlikable scum" series to watch.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - 80's magnificence, a must watch for anime that claims to be an anime fan.

K - Lots of style, substance is a bit limited. Very nice animation and art, but there's a girl who is also a cat and she doesn't wear an clothes, so keep that in mind before you start watching.

Kamisama Kiss - It's Akitarou Daichi, which means it's just about a must-watch for me. That aside, it's a nice shojo series.

Girls und Panzer - Look, you know what you're going to get from the outset.

Ixion Saga DT - Our "hero" defeats one of the main villains in the first episode by kicking him directly in the junk with these crazy spiked shoes. That appears to be the show in a nutshell, and I'm okay with that.

Jormungand: Perfect Order - More of what was great about the first season, although the first episode forgoes action for a bit of building up to something bigger than what was in season 1.

Magi - Medieval Middle-Eastern fantasy, which is a nice change from the standard European-esque fair that most fantasy goes for. The adventure side is fun and looks promising, but it's held back a bit by some bizarre humor and SD character moments that feel really out of place.

Blast of Tempest - Too little information in the first half and too much in the second half. Lots of supernatural doings and one very nice action sequence. It's worth checking out.

Overall, this is shaping up to be a really good season with a ton of variety. We've even got multiple shows that aren't about kids in high school!

Still need to watch the first episodes for Code:Breaker and Robotics;Notes.

Akane could be an interesting character at some point, but she's such a passive presence early on. I understand that she's supposed to be the audience throughput, but I really dislike someone who should already know what's going on having everything explained to them.

I kind of wrote her off in the same manner I originally wrote off Police Girl in Hellsing, but that's going to expire soon.

Police Girl in Hellsing did have an awesome anti-tank gun, though, and the stuff she did in the last couple of volumes was pretty awesome.

Death Note continues to disappoint...

The story just gets more ridiculous, and larger. I couldn't care less about this company that is using a death note to kill competitors. Does Light ever remember he was Kira? If not, what's the point...bah

I started watching Hajime no Ippo. This series needs better music. Perhaps watching Rocky as a kid spoiled me but nothing in the soundtrack has stood out.

I just finished the first fight in the rookie championships

Also, Ichigo :bow2
Reminds me that I should spend a weekend catching up

Evangelion 3.0 came out in Japan today. Early reports sound like a mega mind fuck.

Big spoiler:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
14 year time jump since the end of 2.22.

And I don't have any fucking clue what's going on here:

So Asuka is finally legal? Otaku will claim she's too old.
[close]

I don't know much about this, but it seems
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Asuka and the new girl with the glasses stopped aging so that they could conveniently stay fan-servicey teenage types.
[close]

That's both absurd and disgusting.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Being exposed to the LCL stops aging in Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Mari and Kaworu. They haven't aged in 14 years.... the same time when End of Evangelion came out... jab at fans not growing up and moving on?
[close]

That would be legitimately brilliant. But:

It seems more likely that Gainax just wants to be able to make money off the same characters, have their branding consistent. Marvel had the same hang-up about their costumes and stuff in licensed merchandise before they figured out they could sell one Spider-Man doll, or Ice-Crawling Spider-Man, Stealth Thunder Spider-Man, Armor Storm Spider-Man, all on sale at the same time, taking up valuable shelf space from their competitors.

Cool. Thanks. I was thinking it would make a good introductory manga for my niece and well I was aware it has been getting a new release.

And is this real? I never saw a news item about it on ANN.

It's real, but that's pretty much all that exists of it. They've got no funding for a full movie and aren't likely to get any.

Episode 9 is the end of the first arc. Episode 10 will introduce a new cast of characters.

Yup...been waiting for that.  Now I'm gonna watch the rest (Stopped at episode 4 I think)...I'm much more interested in part 2 and probably won't wait to watch all of those.

Post by: Great Rumbler on December 30, 2012, 07:22:38 PM
Recently, I've been on an 80's anime kick, basically just finding the most obscure stuff and giving it a watch:

Goku - The Midnight Eye

Another 80's masterpiece from the king of anime trash: Yoshiaki Kawajiri [Cyper City Oedo, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Ninja Scroll] and based on a series from the creator of Space Adventure Cobra. Goku is a cool detective who gets drawn into the deaths of his former friends on the police force, which all tie back to this bad guy who kills people with crazy hypnotism. Over the course of this, Goku gets one of his eyes replaced with this cybernetic eye that can hack any computer and tell him that there's poison on this woman's lips. And it's all set in some dark, cyberpunk world heavily inspired by Blade Runner.

Capricorn

Breezy bit of fantasy fluff from sometimes hentai artist Jouji Manabe [Outlanders, Caravan Kidd, Drakuun]. There's really not much to it, unfortunately, as it's too many ideas and too much story crammed into too little time. That's a common problem in these old 80's OVAs. And this one doesn't even really have any decent animation to fall back on. It's not bad, I guess, but not particularly interesting either.

Girl Detective Club

Another example of an 80's OVA that would have made a decent series but doesn't work with too well in the one-shot format. Here, three girls get involved in a plot by the superintendent of their private girls school to steal a crazy spaceship-looking weapon developed by the father of one of the girls. There's way too much that needs to be established and developed for that to really work but isn't because they don't have any time. It jumps between goofy and oddly dark for a while and then ends with a giant explosion. Animation is pretty flat, for the most part.

Prefectural Earth Defense Force

A group of dumb aliens [maybe they're aliens, it's hard to say] are intent on taking over the world by starting with a rural prefecture [just like Excel Saga!]. It's all just pointless fluff, but has a good sense of humor and some really nice animation. Basically, the titular PEDF are the three sole members of the local highschool baseball team and they sort of get paired up with a guy who got transformed into a robot by a crazy doctor and the aliens are basically incompetent and incapable of doing anything remote threatening. The content works better in this format since it never takes anything even remotely seriously. The only downside is that it, unlike the others, actually makes you wish there was a lot more.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on December 30, 2012, 08:56:39 PM
I was also on a recent 80s kick.

I watched:

Megazone 23 Part 1 and 2: Hands down some of the best anime out there. Both are fast paced so nothing even feels like filler or slow paced. Both have characters that are belviable and feel well....rather realistic. Just really good fun.

Space Adventure Cobra-Feels very 70s and well the story was very strange. Cobra is a fun lead and well the action is very kentic and zany. Beautifully directed and has some fantastic direction. Also A+ to the female character design.

Nausica Valley of the Wind- I guess its good. I don't know, felt pretty bored by the whole thing and it's protag. It does feel like a grand aventure so thats a plus, but just kind of predictable. Best character was the evil chicks 2nd in command.

I also recently watched Ninja Scroll again and it's extremely fun and well paced action movie. Probably one of the best anime wise. Metropolis, which is extremely well animated, but has one of the worst child guardians ever. Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust which was very pretty, but the main conflict kind of a bore. The final fight seems very forced.

How awesome is Yoshiaki Kawajiri? I'll tell you how awesome:

-Lensman
-The Running Man [segment from Neo Tokyo]
-Wicked City
-Demon City Shinjuku
-Ninja Scroll
-Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
-World Record and Program [segments from Animatrix]
-Highlander: The Search for Vengeance
-Goku: The Midnight Eye
-Cyber City Oedo
-Deadshot [segment from Gotham Knight]
-Birdy the Might OVA
-X

Quote from: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/the-mike-toole-show/2012-12-16
Yoshiaki Kawajiri is a perfectionist. In multiple interviews, he's pointed out that when he finishes a movie and watches the final product, he feels a weird mixture of immense satisfaction at the finer points and dissatisfaction and the stuff he should've done better. His journey as a filmmaker has been about trying to minimize that sense of dissatisfaction. To him, doing so requires a great deal of autonomy; “I tend to be difficult to work with if I'm not given my freedom,” he glibly remarked during a Q&A session at Sakura-con this year.

He's basically the Trashy Hayao Miyazaki.

I'm watching his Highlander movie right now [the uncut 96-minute version released in Japan] and it's pretty awesome, definitely takes a lot of inspiration from Fist of the North Star, which I certainly have no problem with.

Finished watching Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse.  And uh...that's it?  What a weird way to end things.  Not a particularly satisfying ending-
spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Russians' secret agenda is never revealed and the leader of the resistance movement that just pops up out of nowhere also has no motivations explained.
[close]
  It's just like "WE SAVED THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY FROM BLOWING UP!  YAY!  BUT ALIENS ARE STILL THERE AND NOTHING ELSE HAS BEEN RESOLVED!," followed by the two main female characters not telling the protagonist their feelings.  "WE ARE RIVALS IN LOVE!  ~THE END~"  WTF?   :lol ???

Jormungand also ended.  The second season felt incredibly rushed.  And just when things get interesting and Jormungand actually comes into the picture...it's over. 

Psycho-Pass has been great.  I hope it ends well, unlike those other two series.

Started watching K.  The plot is nonsensical, but damn if this show doesn't look awesome.  Love the soundtrack, too. 

Also watched the first episode of Btooom!  It's like someone really, really liked that "dark and gritty" Bomberman Act Zero game that came out on the 360 some years back and made an anime out of it.

And of course there's JoJo's.  Always awesome!

I really wanted to see things go crazy in the finale of Jormungand, but I still enjoyed the second season [thought it was better overall than the first].

And Pyscho-Pass is good stuff, nice to see a dark series with slightly older characters [and the return of characters that are police officers!, been a while since I've seen that in anime]. Mid-season finale was pretty brutal, really looking forward to how things go in the second half.

I've been watching another contemporary classic: Golden Boy.

It basically puts all the modern fan service shows to absolute shame. Nice animation, good sense of humor, a main character that isn't some blank slate, and female characters that aren't children [or relatives of the main character]. It mainly works because it's actually funny, a concept that modern shows can't seem to grasp. And the OP is absolute money:

Yeah, I can't get it to show in full size on Imgur, though, but this should have everything in it:

I've been watching another contemporary classic: Golden Boy.

It basically puts all the modern fan service shows to absolute shame. Nice animation, good sense of humor, a main character that isn't some blank slate, and female characters that aren't children [or relatives of the main character]. It mainly works because it's actually funny, a concept that modern shows can't seem to grasp. And the OP is absolute money:

Golden Boy is so great. I haven't seen it in years.

There's a few shows I'l watch, just because I'm a masochist and enjoy inflicting terrible anime on myself for no reason.

But I've also got a ton of 80's/early 90's OVAs and movies sitting in my backlog, so I'll probably tear through those, too.

Edit: I am really interested to see how the new Monkey Punch anime [that looks like Samurai Champloo with Lupin III characters] turns out.

So lately I've been absolutely hooked on Steins;Gate... really love the self-referential stuff in it and of course the time-travel, sci-fi stuff. Any other recommendations for similar anime?

Also I picked up Haibane Renmei a while back but haven't sat down and watched it yet... you guys thoughts? Worth watching?

I actually don't really watch anime too often and am not too familiar with a lot of it. But I do like it (of course).

Probably one of the top 10 anime series from the 00's. Lots of imagination, lots of hearts, and it earns the right to be dramatic when it wants to. It's also the kind of anime that you can recommend to people without feeling ashamed of yourself.

Maoyu - Episode 01

Human and demons are fighting a war. The hero goes off to fight the demon king to end the war. The demon king is actually a hot babe. Turns out that both sides are engaged in a lot of war profiteering [JUST LIKE REAL LIFE ZOMG]. The demon king proposes that she and the hero work to end the war together.

Well, that's pretty much all that happens in episode one. However, it's clear that the show's going to get involved in a lot of political and economic stuff along the way towards an eventual peace, there may also be hijinks and fanservice. It's got the same writer and director as Spice and Wolf, so if you've seen that you have an idea of what you're getting into.

It's still funny how much thought was put into the Green Island game.  Normally entire series would be based around the concept (.hack, yugioh, etc.) but here it's just a small part of the bigger world.

Diebuster already got a US video release. Even the Gattai movie got a Blu Ray release. So did Gunbuster and it's dvd release is pretty fantastic, probably one of the best looking DvDs I've ever seen.

But since I don't own the ova version and discotek's release should be pretty cheap, I may just buy this.

Chie the Brat

A pre-Ghibli movie from Isao Takahat. It's got a lot of his hallmarks here, including the focus on every day life [like in My Neighbors the Yamadas]. It's a fun and lively movie with a main character who's easy to root for, especially against her numskull father. It's a bit too episodic for its own good and the ending feels a bit out of place given the main narrative drive throughout most of the rest of the movie. Nevertheless, it's fun and rarely boring, so you could certainly do worse.

Like the Clouds, Like the Wind

Another almost-Ghibli movie, since it features character designs from long-time Ghibli collaborator Katsuya Kondou. The problems here are two fold: it tries to fit too much story and character development into too little time and it has a real problem with establishing the right tone [shifting rapidly between lighthearted fun and serious drama, sometimes within the same scene]. I do appreciate what it was going for, though, and it was far more engaging than I really expected it to be at the outset [intended on watching just a bit of it tonight but wound up watching the whole thing]. With a bit more time and tight direction, it really could have been a great little movie. As it is, it'll have to settle for just being pretty good.

Since it's been long enough ago, I'm feeling like going on a 90's nostalgic kick for a while. That, and I've pretty much drained the 80's well dry already. Recommend me some awesome 90's anime, like really obscure stuff that I've probably never heard of before. Stuff like Golden Boy [which I'm watching right now] or the Future GPX Cyber Formula franchise [which I'm also watching right now], but obviously not those in particular.

Zettai Karen Children ~ The UNLIMITED: I never seen the ZKC before and this is a spinoff but I still enjoyed it. Psychic powers and nice action scenes. Be forewarned there's a loli.

I must join Momo in the HunterXHunter love. It's pretty much my favorite show along with JoJo atm. Episode 61 was so good looking/well made, just good shit. Especially the ending which was  :heartbeat
Greed Island wasnt my favorite arc, but it's been well paced so far, it felt a lot slower the first time round :heart

Green Island is great in the manga.  Problem with the anime was it was catching up to the manga, and Togashi was sick/lazy and his scribbles weren't getting scribbled fast enough.  The pace, direction, animation, and everything suffered for it.  Now they don't have that problem and can do the storyline right.  Well, as good as the new series can do it.

The original anime was the best until the very end of the york shin arc.  It wasn't like a steady decline in quality; just one huge drop and it stayed at mediocrity from there.

I never really understood this line of thinking. For me it's simply a visual thing, not something meant to arousal. I don't I've ever been excited by fanservice, overwhemled sure but not excited. I think I just like well drawn fanservice like some of the episodes of Highschool of the Dead. This probably sounds pretty weird :(

Fanservice is ok for shows that intend to be all erotic right from the start. But throw that shit in serious shows like Fate/Zero and I won't fucking tolerate it. Thankfully, Fate/Zero has none which is why it's one of the best shows last year.

Context is key.

As a whole, Steamboy is too long and the story's kinda scattershot. However, it's still a fun steampunk adventure and the animation is absolutely incredible. Steve Jablonsky's soundtrack is pretty good, too:

i'ts kind of a fucked up romance where this seemingly sociopath high-school girl torments this boy who thinks he's a pervert but he's really not that bad a person.  there's a bit of fan wank in it as the weird bookish kid with no friends is made to be somewhat exceptional and the most beautiful girl in his class falls in love with him because he's not like anyone else in their class.

the real reason to read is because this sociopath girl is damaged goods and it's somewhat entertaining to see how far she is able to push the boy.

the storytelling is quite good from a technical standpoint which helps it stand out a bit

Quote
The "corrupt pure-love story" revolves around Takao Kasuga, a literary-minded boy who loves the poems of Charles Baudelaire (the original author of the poetry collection Les Fleurs du mal or Flowers of Evil). One day after school, he discovers and steals the gym clothes of Nanako Saeki, the girl he has a crush on. However, he learns that Sawa Nakamura, a girl he loathes, happens to catch him in the act. Nakamura blackmails Kasuga into a "contract," or else she will reveal his secret.

The Tachikomas make up a lot of SAC. Both manga's also have a lot of zany humor as well. Something both anime adaptations lacked.

The character design here dosen't quite look as good as the manga one, but I don't think it's that far off. Manga Major is a bit more cute and young looking then SAC and man looking movie one.

I'm cautious because I don't exactly trust the staff. Did'nt care for Marddox Scramble, but on the other hand it did strike me as a modern anime that at least understands the gist of storytelling. Which is kind of a big accomplishment as far as I'm concerned.

Lack of Kanno sucks, but then again it's not like she's been that great recently. Then again someone on ANN posted this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GRMOYFR10g as reassurance of the new music guy. Well I don't know about that..

Kids on the Slope was really good. Final ep was kinda odd imo, but I still enjoyed it.

I've been watching a lot of random stuff recently:

Hell Target

It's basically an anime version of Galaxy of Terror or Event Horizon, where people get killed in horrific ways on this planet called Inferno II and there's some serious demon stuff going down. There's also a random sex scene for some reason.

Demon-Hunter Makaryuudo

Dark-fantasy plus horror and some backstory about how people from the demon world need to subjugate humanity so that they can something something. It was hard to make sense of because the subtitles were poorly translated. Doesn't really offer much that other dark fantasy series from the 90's provide, also it's just 30 minutes and that's all that was ever made of it. The only thing that really stood out where the character designers, courtesy of the same guy who worked on Project A-ko and Cat Girl Nuku Nuku.

Elf 17

An ultimately inconsequential bit of scifi/comedy, but one that succeeds because it has fun characters and doesn't take anything that goes on seriously. I really liked the part early on where it has dozens of crazy alien designs. Not much to say, really, it's fun but there's just not enough of it [one 30-minutes OVA].

Lupin III - Castle of Cagliostro

Pre-Ghibli Miyazaki movie, need I say more?

Since I'm back in Japan and have easy access to the video store's massive anime catalog, I keep thinking I should rent something and enjoy it while I can. Current plans have me back in the USA later this year, so I have between 2~10 months. I liked Ranma 1/2, Giant Robo, original Dirty Pair, Evangelion (though I couldn't watch it without translation), and Ghibli stuff.

Where should I point myself first?

I listened for a bit this morning and the audio quality seems fine for a new podcast (one guy needs a better mic though). It was the only anime podcast I regularly listened too.

Did you ever see The Irresponsible Captain Tylor?  It's older (1993, IIRC) but was a great comedy/space opera.  Had a 26 episode TV series and a number of OVAs.

Genshiken is getting a new series based on the Genshiken Nidaime manga.  Basically, Genshiken The New Class.  Old characters still show up from time to time but it's mostly new (primarily female) characters.  The manga gets into all sorts of unusual business compared to the older animes.  I mean, not that those weren't unusual either.

Mecha Anime For People Who Like Characters That Aren't Whiny

Patlabor - Slightly unhinged, perhaps, but mostly just ordinary people doing an honest day's work as public servants [even if they are not well thought of by the public and generally cause accidental collateral damage]. Mostly a light-hearted franchise, especially in the second OVA series. The 3 movies are generally much darker and more serious minded, basically Mamoru Oshii being Mamoru Oshii. Good for cleaning a palette dirtied by emo pretty boys and half-naked lolis.

The Big O - Without getting into the minute details, this is basically Japanese Batman [who happens to pilot a giant robot]. The story centers around Roget Smith, a suave playboy who helps people with problems and usually resorts to using his giant robot when things inevitably get out of hand. Highlights include lots of standalone scifi stories, a retro artstyle, and a soundtrack that's just spectacular.

Gurren Lagann - A series that perfectly encapsulates what first drew people to Gainax all those year ago, but without a whiny emo lead. It's loud, it's vibrant, it's totally over-the-top. Aside from the 27 episode series, there's also two recap movies.

Dai-Guard - The English tagline was "Officer workers saving the world," which is a pretty good summary. The three pilots of Dai-Guard aren't anyone special, they're not even military, they were three people who were picked by a corporation to watch over a giant robot that was built as a marketing gimmick years ago. Unfortunately, giant monster appear and they're the only people that know anything about piloting the robot. The leads are likable, ordinary people, with the main pilot being an excitable guy who just really loves giant robots.

Escaflowne - Someone got their shoujo in my mecha! Yeah, that's what this one is, it's a giant robot series set in a weird fantasy world and this girl gets pulled from the real world into the fantasy world and falls in love with this wild guy who pilots a giant robot [and this other really handsome guy that maybe also piloted a robot, I can't remember, anyone he was SO HOT]. Anyway, it's a Shoji Kawamori x Yoko Kanno joint [with Shinichiro Watanabe doing storyboards and Kazuki Akane handling direction], so you know it's gotta be good. And it is really good. Stay away from the movie, though, since the whole reason you're interested in this list is to get away from the emo.

Martian Successor Nadesico - The main character is reluctant, but I wouldn't call him emo. He just wants to be a cook, not a giant robot pilot. He's also an anime love, who regularly watches show-within-the-show Gekiganger 3, which is a clear homage to the giant robot series of the 70's. It does have its more series moments [especially in the sequel movie], but it's generally a much more light-hearted affair than certain other giant robot shows, and the oddball crew is perfect for rooting for.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam - This is not the Gundam you're familiar with. This is over-the-top, ridiculous Gundam, made abundantly clear by the giant robot that rides a giant robot horse that is actually piloted by a real horse. Not to be taken seriously.

Star Driver - The most fabulous mecha anime ever made.

Need to add Macross Plus, Votoms, Original Macross, and Megazone 23 to your  Mecha list.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Great Rumbler on January 26, 2013, 01:37:48 AM
Macross Plus - It's the prototype for Cowboy Bebop, thanks to Shinichiro Watanabe direction and Yoko Kanno score. Or Top Gun: The Anime, either one is fine. Or both. There's some emo-ness related to one subplot that deals with a rather serious subject, but mostly it's about flying really fast in a jet and a psychotic pop idol AI. You heard me. The animation and music and both top-notch and it's just 4 episodes long, so you can breeze through it pretty quick. Macross knowledge isn't required at all, so you can jump right in.

SDF Macross - The quintessential space opera. It's got drama, it's got romance, it's got action, it's got a pop idol who uses music to end intergalactic war! It's serious without becoming "War is bad because people die!" that Gundam tends to use fairly often. The American version [Robotech] has entirely different music and because that's the version I watched as a kid I can never watch the original version because of how "wrong" it feels. This is the show to watch if you want to see a giant space battleship transform into a giant space mech that can blast away a billion enemy ships with one shot of its megalaser.

Megazone 23 - Well, it really has a lot less mecha action than most of the other animes I've listed, but it does feature mechs. That aside, Megazone 23 is, in a nutshell, the 80's. That's not an exaggeration. Big hair? Sure. Wild clothes? Yessir. Neon? Uh-huh. Delinquents? Definitely. Tons of sex for no reason? Of course! Scifi action? You know it. Motorcycles? Lots of motorcycles. Each of the 4 episodes was handled by a different director, each of whom has since amassed a rather impressive resume. It does have lots of teenage angst, though, but less of the "woe is me, for I am an unloved teen" and more "LET'S SMASH STUFF BECAUSE THE WORLD TOTALLY SUCKS."

Oh no he is'nt.

In the beginning he kind of acts like a normal kid would. Scared, but yet excited about his robot. He needs a push from his bro after all he is still a kid.

After a certain incident yeah he gets pretty down, but here it actually makes sense and so I doubt most will find it annoying.

After that Simon is nothing but awesome.

Simon from Gurren Lagann is the biggest emo kid on the block though
Oh no he is'nt.

In the beginning he kind of acts like a normal kid would. Scared, but yet excited about his robot. He needs a push from his bro after all he is still a kid.

After a certain incident yeah he gets pretty down, but here it actually makes sense and so I doubt most will find it annoying.

After that Simon is nothing but awesome.
My opinion is different from yours. He's a bitch the entire first arc and the second arc consists of him being even more bitchified by being a plastic copy of a better man.

I've been watching Magi. It's okay I guess :-\ On one hand I appreciate it's attempting tackle more mature issues like slavery and currency manipulation but it's not really doing it well and I do find myself missing the generic battle shonen animu bullshit I WILL PROTECT YOU RAWR!!!

Morgiana rocks though. This boring Alibaba arc needs to wrap up fast so we can (hopefully) move on to a Morgiana focused arc where she kicks everyone's ass. Best moment so far was her pissed off after being captured by the slavers

Daily Lives of High School Boys

A much better series than I ever expected it would be. It's basically a high school slice of life show, but with mostly male characters and a greater tendency towards absurdist humor [ala KyoAni's Nichijou]. I think it's actually consistently funnier than Nichijou, even if it doesn't quite get AS funny as Nichijou's best scenes. One thing that really stands out to me as that nearly every female character in the series is either psychotic, violent, or both, which is incredibly fresh in an industry increasingly dominated by innocent, demure young girls who are always polite and friendly. If you wanna laugh, this is the show you should be watching. Plus, there aren't many animes with acoustic guitars in the soundtrack.

This clip sums up the show pretty well:

They Were 11

10 students get sent to a derelict spaceship as part of their training to become members of the intergalactic elite, only to find that there's a mysterious eleventh member of their group. The focus here is on the isolation of the group and their paranoia over who the eleventh person might be, all while they try to work their way through a serious of increasingly dangerous situations. One thing that really makes this movie stand out is that it's a scifi story created by a shoujo artist, which lends it to focusing more on the characters than on exciting action. Overall, it's a really good movie and the sort of scifi anime that doesn't come along very often [or, really, more than once].

has anyone else read "I'll Give It My All...Tomorrow?"  It's about a 40 year old guy who lives with his father and 18 year old daughter that quits his job to "find himself" which mostly means that he's going to sit around in his boxers and play video games all day until he decides to become a mangaka.  It's weirdly written, weirdly drawn and is basically an indie comic in manga form  I've only read the first volume but I enjoyed it.

a while ago i read medaka box,it's an okay shonen manga,basicaly jesus with boobs is the student council president and as you know being the council president in animu is serious business (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil)

it start episodic then it turns into a battle manga,then it turns into a battle manga once again,then all the battles are gone and it turn more like a weird version of slice of life and the "villain" (if it so can be called considering it never does anything villanous to begin with) turns all meta and complain about how all the battles are gone which is pretty funny

then it turns into a battle manga once again and i stopped reading cause it was pretty clear there wasn't going to be an ending to it soon

Battle Royal with bombs.

Bunch of people get thrown in an island and the only way to go home is by killing each other using bombs and obtaining 7 jewels from their dead bodies.

Nothing new but it was entertaining as I like these survival type animu. Some of the bomb types were cool too.

For a 12 episode animu, you won't regret it and it covers almost everything from the mango.

Ah I already seen Btooom bro, I enjoyed it. Shame it didn't sell too well, I'd like a season 2.

Blood C 11&12:This Party's Getting Crazy! Overall I didn't really enjoyed the series. Think it would been better if they revealed the twist earlier rather keeping Saya and the audience in the dark for so long because it just gets really frustrating after a while. The reason behind everything happening was interesting but I definitely can understand someone getting to episode 11 and saying "oh fuck this shit"

I'm really glad I waited for the movie.

The Blu-ray comes out on March 22nd. Right now the only place that is selling the NA version is The Right Stuf (www.rightstuf.com). The digital download is also available on the Xbox Video Marketplace or whatever it is called.

Also, it's now 7 episodes. They announced that last year. Unfortunately, episode 7 doesn't come out until Spring 2014.

Just finished this K thing. Man that was terrible.  It got almost ok, but Jesus did this show try so hard to be "cool", but in the end I pretty much hated everything about it. And you know for a show about rival gangs with powers, there sure was little action. I think I'll stick with X for my one lettered psychic teen anime.

currently addicted to kazuo umezu books.  Finishing up the excellent Cat Eyed Boy (which should be a must read for monster fans, he pushes the grotesque in great ways. it almost reminds me of basil wolverton).  just read Scary Book vol 2 which was a psychological horror book about a woman who is terrified of butterflies.  it was not great because you could tell it was written serially the way it keeps going over plot points, but it was fairly entertaining.

I've been watching Soul Eater. I'm in the middle of season 2 and the kishin was just freed. I'm enjoying the quirky/weird characters. Kid's with his OCD, Crono who can't deal with anything, Blackstar's boasting... its all good fun. Too bad Maka and Soul are the main duo and happen to be the most boring characters. Fights are pretty boring too. I wish there was more action but I'll stick with it till the end

Psycho Pass just ended.  22 is the last episode.  Was not too thrilled with the way everything played out and ended over the last few episodes.  The big reveal happened like six episodes back, and nothing really happened after that.  Things really dragged on the last few weeks.  Pretty "meh" way to end it.

Been posting these in the anime thread since I started posting here, but I think it's better to have a quarterly thread for these (I swear it wont kill you bork/bore!) and once the season starts we just abandon this thread and go on talking about it in the main anime thread.

-It clutters the other thread and as it isnt currently running anime we're basically going to pick out what we want to watch from here and laugh at the rest.

So I finally watched Arriety last night (been putting it off forever since it looked uninteresting; not a fan of small world movies like Bugs Life and such) and maybe it was because it was late at night and I'd just gotten back from dinner and drinks with a friend, but man, that was slow, uneventful movie for kids.  It's a fine film (as in, not a mess, good animation, direction is fine), don't get me wrong, but it reminded me of the newer Winnie the Pooh movie where it was so for kids that it was just kind of boring for adults.  I can't think of any Ghibli film that had less of a story.  It's like nothing happens for an hour and then the most action packed segment of the movie is:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the housekeeper picking up the wife and putting her in a jar, and then the main guy/girl go save her 5 mins later and problem resolved
[close]

Maybe I'll watch it again when I'm not so tired, but was pretty disappointed since I'd heard good things about it.  Probably my least favorite Ghibli film even if it's less of a mess than some of the others.  I mean Earthsea has godawful animation and the story is a total mess but at least it's an interesting world and has stuff going on!  And Howl's has awful character development but goddamn the animation is insane.


Just makes me want to go back and watch Whispers of the Heart again and Spirited Away, My Neighbors the Yamadas.  I miss top of their game Ghibli  :'(

Post by: Great Rumbler on March 31, 2013, 02:36:53 PM
I agree with most of that, Arriety isn't a bad movie by any means, but it does feel like hardly anything actually happens in it. Definitely the kind of movie you watch when you just wanna kick back and relax. From Up On Poppy Hill has been getting pretty good reviews from the Western press, so I'm really interested in seeing that [when it finally comes out on DVD, because it's never going to be showing near enough for me to see it in theater].

Also, Hayao's new movie is coming out during the summer [in Japan], so there's that to look forward to.

I remember getting to the end of Arriety and going "that's it!, they just leave?". I mean I was expecting the kid to be sick and maybe die, but at least he forged a real friendship with the girl, but the movie just ends. Like it started that plot and then was like whatever.

Very pretty movie though.

Jesus Christ, why do all mecha shows suck these days.  Not only was it a weak show, but since the previous series that was actually good ended on a "SEE YOU IN 12,000 YEARS FOR THE TRUE END", it kind of downgrades that show too!  Fffffuuuuuu


What are the chances any of this season's mecha series will actually be good in the end?  I'm an optimistic man, so I'll get it 1/10.

Top of the list is Scientific Railgun. I enjoyed the first season (much more so than Magical Index). Also I need to catch up with the second season of Index which I assume aired at some point

Then Devil Survivor 2 (while playing the first one on my 3DS). Anyone know if the stories cross over?

And then anything else with mechas :bow2

i watched 8 episodes of daily lives of highschool boys and it's pretty good... it somewhat reminds me of a more grounded in reality cromartie with all the jokes about machismo

i also watched 2 episodes of binbou-gami but it's not really a gag manga as much as it is about genki girls with random anime refenrece,it didn't really strike my fancy

I loved it. Mostly because the series ties it back into the Watanuki centered clamp universe

I'm not a big Clamp fan, but I guess seeing the dude from XXHolic was cool, though I don't know the ramifications behind it.

But I mean I don't get the hate. People seem to hate it because either they dislike the twist and for some reason think it's a big F U. But I'm not sure how it is. They show creates the idea that things are off and not what they seem. It has tons of scenes that seem strange and incorrect ,but in the end all make sense. That's why I liked it. The show seems tightly plotted and a mystery that allows you to go back and say "oh well I see what that meant". Let alone the fact that it was geniuely intriguing to me and I wanted to figure what the heck was going on. I'm happy the twist was crazy, because I wanted a big pay off.

People complained about the violence, but I say boo whoo. This is anime and it was great to see one that was off the wall like this again. I'm sorry, I'm one of those peeps who stereotypicaly dislikes modern anime and well it was nice to see something like this again. Not only that, it helped to show set it's really creepy and not scary, but horror tone. The monsters behaved and looked pretty creepy. Horror is disgust and well this show achieved that.

As for the movie. It looked pretty, but I'm not sure I liked the pay off. I'm not sure I liked what the villain's real goal was. I guess it's very Clamp though. Though you think Saya would stop drinking coffee now.

Either way I don't get this show's terrible reputation. I watched everything in one sitting and I hardly do that these days.
Title: Re: Official Manly Anime Thread of Joseph Joestar Vs. Vampires
Post by: Momo on April 03, 2013, 03:21:16 AM
The ramifications is that they can cross over just about any important Clamp char now, X, Card Captor, Blood, Holic, Tsubasa they are all available. Think of it like a big overarching Marvel/DC universe.

I get why people dislike it, Saya was shown to be too fragile. I always point out this is a different Saya.

Doing a rotoscoped anime is a neat idea, but they don't actually do anything interesting with the rotoscoping, they just traced over some actors and called it day. Should have gotten Richard Linklater to direct it.

Best show so far is The Devil is a Part-Timer, it finds ways to take old tropes and mix them up in a way that's still a lot of fun. And those first few minutes have better animated, better directed action scenes than most action series can muster up.

It's streaming free on Funimation.

I really loved the ep of HxH, gon becomes so unlikable in battle when he becomes selfish and stupid.

i remember great rumbler rambling (ah!) about an anime called jinrui something...? i watched the first episode and tought it was boring......



.....then a loaf of bread decided to kill himself :teehee

Humanity Has Declined [Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita] is the name of the series, and it is fantastic.

i'm conflicted,it feels incredibly slow paced but it's also one of the most wacky-jappy thing i've ever seen,like... nothing happens for 10 minutes then suddenly at the next minute the most random shit ever happen
though from the description i somehow envisioned a more gag-like show

Well I started watching Fate/Zero. Never been inclined to touch anything Type Moon, but this seems kind of ok.
It's 2012 anime of the year. You are in for a treat.

And yeah, Type Moon was always Zzz for me but this is really something special.

Probably because Fate/Zero is written by Gen Urobuchi.

Blassreiter had at least two other writers, Yasuko Kobayashi and Ichiro Itano [who was also the director].

JoJo's finally ended with episode 26 last weekend.  Did a marathon session, finishing it starting with #19.  Totally crazy, awesome shit- I wish the final battle went on longer, but it was all great so I can't complain.

Post-credits scene sets up part 3, too- guess that pretty much confirms it's coming!  :hyper

Samurai Bride could be good for a chuckle, but it's no Senran Kagura. Photo Kano and Date a Live are beyond all hope though, look upon them and despair. Flowers of Evil isn't ecchi, it's just weird.

I watched Arata the Legend Episode 1 and it was not as homoerotic as I thought it was gonna be. Kinda disappointed. :(  The cross-dressing princess subplot only lasted about 3 minutes and then it was over with, and now it's just "dude gets teleported from eath to fantasy kingdom where other dudes want to kill him". Maybe he has to cross-dress some more to escape them, I dunno.

I also watched Episode 1 of Hayate the Combat Butler: Cuties! it was pretty good. Harmless harem hijinks, Hayate has to take care of all the girls when they get sick, then he gets sick the next day and has to pass an exam or fail his class. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and Dragon Quest VII 3DS become involved, because Japan I guess.

Title: Re: Anime Thread of Springtime with Trigger
Post by: Rahxephon91 on April 14, 2013, 12:53:44 AM
I would say no as it's a lot more political focused. I watched it with my mom and she seemed to like it.

When I recommend SAC I really mean the 2nd season. I think the main plot is easier to understand as it's dealing with an issue like immigration and has plot points that well could happen today. The 2nd season has a pretty cool villain and anti-hero protagonist who's motivations are easier to grasp and well actually cool to watch happen.

I've... Never heard of Crunchyroll. One quick look at their collection and I can determine whether they're covering everything or not. Subbed? Dubbed? Legit? Charging for torrents?

What's the deal?

What's the deal?

It's a legitimate streaming service that offers commercial-free, HD, subbed streams of recently-aired [as in, aired YESTERDAY] anime for $7 a month. Or you can wait a week and watch 480p streams with commercials for free. And they've got apps for TV boxes [Roku, Google TV, Vizio Via, Apple, Android, PS3, ect.].

They don't stream every new show, but they always end with quite a few new series every season.

And Funimation also has a streaming app available on most of the same devices as Crunchyroll.

Episode 2 of Gargantia really sold me on the show. Not to say that I didn't like the first episode, but the second basically has got me committed to the rest of the series. It showed this lighter, more adventurous spirit that's lacking in shows these days. It's either grim dark action show or meaningless fluff, without much inbetween. Anime like Ghibli's Nausicaa or Gainax's Nadia, going to cool places and doing awesome things. The art style is really great, lots of detail in the rusted, pieced-together world of the future and the characters designs are appealing without being cutesy. And all the little details are nice, like the wing pack that Amy uses or how communication between the two sides is still handled through an interpreter. It's really good.

If you're in awe now, just wait until the show really starts to sink into your subconscious and then the creators pull those emotional strings. You probably never thought you'd tear up at a show about talking animals, but YOU WILL.

I sat down early last week to start watching the new season but ended up going through all of the History's Strongest Disciple anime instead :)

I haven't looked at the manga in at least two years but I jumped in to the latest chapter yesterday. Seems like it hasn't gone anywhere, still dealing with that Yami stuff. I was hoping it would have moved on by now :-\

MCD you weren't kidding. Fate Zero starts a bit slow, but everything is paying off now in the 2nd half. This show is great. It's smart, engaging, and well just kind of a breath of fresh air for a returning anime fan. I mean pretty much every character in this show is well written and yet non of them are really bad. They all have sound motivations and some honest depth. Really the only character I don't care for is ironically the series mascot, Saber.

I don'nt know, but I'm nearing the finish line and the series has had some pretty amazing episodes. Episode 16 in particialr was great and it keeps going.

Should I watch Fate Stay Night?

you could actualy play (or read) the actual thing but it's super wordy/boring action pap,it's like having someone describe an episode of dragon ball z to you

Yeah, Saber was indeed the worst but she is not bad, she just isn't a match to the rest of the cast. And Emiya didn't need her ass so she was neglected most of the time.

As for Fate/Stay Night, what magus said or just pray to god the Fate/Zero team can get the license and remake it.

I don't know, I thought the first episode of Valvrave was pretty terrible. It's like it made a point to hit every bad mech cliche in the book. And then the really ridiculous ending.

I mean I can't even say that the mech save it. So far they look very ugly and well cg dosen't help.

I'll watch it in hopes that it gets as crazy as say CG, but I really doubt these character's will be as entertaining as CG's.

quite impressed with the first episode as it was able to translate what the mangaka was doing on the page quite well.
i'm curious to see if it will pick up the more expressive actions that infiltrate the manga as it goes along

Now that I'm done with classics, I have Eva 3 to watch
Title: Re: Anime Thread of Springtime with Trigger
Post by: Bebpo on April 28, 2013, 05:23:39 AM
Eva 3.33 was sort of as expected.  Doesn't match 2.22, but it's a setup/transitional movie setting up the final film to be on the 2.22 level.

2.22 made the story seem like it would be satisfying even if more typical shounen.  3.33 ehhhh, now I'm back on the fence; it really muddles it up a bunch with a lot of ughhh plotting.  Everything's riding on 4.44 now.  Could be amazing and make Rebuild better than the original or it could be a clusterfuck.  Anno & team definitely have a huge amount of pressure to make a movie better than EoE & 2.22, really hope they pull it off.  Will see in a couple of years.  Might even time my next Japan vacation to when 4.44 opens over there...

spoiler (click to show/hide)
One thing that's a tad disappointing about 3.33 is that it's a much lamer version of the Kaworu plot than ep24.  Ep24 of Eva TV is still amazingly well done in the last 9 mins from the start of Beethoven's 9th symphony until the final squeeze.  Absolutely masterful direction and maybe that's why he didn't even try to do something on par with that in 3.33.  Man, it's going to be so hard to top EoE with the incredible Eva 02 vs. Eva army fight, the Jesus Bleibet real world monologue & the goo montage.  I feel bad for Anno, I don't think whatever he does in 4.44 will be able to match that :(  I should probably taper expectations....

Evangelion 3.33 is dumb.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
It's likely setting up 4.44 (?), but why waste an entire movie on that.  This is the kind of stupid dumbness that could only work for a few franchises like Evangelion or Metal Gear.  1.11 was a bore too except the few hints that something was up.  2.22 was great.  Maybe 4.44 in 2015 2016 will be great too, but still, why waste an entire movie.  It didn't need ~90 minutes to get the point across.

It wouldn't be that bad if the action wasn't poor.  Evangelion had some good action in the past.  Kinda hoping that the 4.44 preview isn't actually a 4.44 preview if that's the quality they're aiming for.

Eren is the worst main character ever. On the latest ep he's like "WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS?" during martial arts training and then during dinner he's all "THIS IS WHAT I LEARNED DURING MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING WHILE YOU WERE SLACKING OFF. YOURE NOT A REAL SOLDIER." when he was the exact way just 5 minutes ago. I wish Potato Girl were the main character.

Yeah, Potato Girl is deffo main character material. Eren is the type of character who should die off like halfway through the story, and he dies crying, giving his dying wish to the superior Potato Girl, who is now more resolved than ever to defeat her foes. Then she eats a potato and farts.

My big problem with Flowers of Evil, visually, is that while the rotoscoping is great, the background detail is always greater. The less detailed, sometimes flat characters, look like they don't belong in a world with backgrounds crafted like this:

Well it's an odd bird, it sits in the romance/slice of life genre for sure, but there has been no romance except some boy x boy lust and the slice of life they choose to portray are a bunch of abnormal situations. The easy setup for romance is in there for sure, but I get the impression they are putting it there to mislead. This will probably end in a weird way like school rumble, the title of the anime at least indicates a deviation from the norm.

People that just woke up from several year comas are amped as fuck about those cr ads!
And Kare Kano is great aside from the part where they ran out of their budget and several eps were literal stills almost entirely. Dunno how you run out of money for a show with little to no complex anything going on visually but hey this is Gainax we're talking about here.

Severing Crime Edge is the fetish show of the year. It's checking off fetishes left and right. We got hair, we got BSDM, we got wincest, we got auto-erotic asphyxiation, we got...erotic needle injections? I don't even know if that's a real thing, although I assume it probably is for someone. And we got lolis, but that goes without saying.

The Devil is a Part-Timer is great. I watched all 5 episodes this weekend which is nice because the first minor arc wrapped up. The characters are great and there isn't a single nose bleed or panty shot in sight :o The last episode ended on such a great punch too. Biggest surprise for me in awhile

One of the recommended shows on hulu's Devil is a Part-Timer page was Nyan-Koi which is a show about a guy who is allergic to and can talk to cats. I watched a few episodes and its amusing. Cats are cute, what can I say :-[

Spring Time with Trigger:

(http://i.imgur.com/pvaPYgk.jpg)

Quote
The June issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Newtype magazine is reporting on Friday that previously revealed new anime from director Hiroyuki Imaishi (Dead Leaves, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt) is the battle action television anime Kill La Kill.

Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann, Nodame Cantabile: Finale, Re: Cutie Honey) is supervising and writing the scripts, and acclaimed animator Sushio (key animator on Gurren Lagann and new Evangelion films, character designer on Engage Planet Kiss Dum) is designing the characters. The untitled project will be at Imaishi's relatively new studio Trigger. Aniplex registered the kill-la-kill.jp domain name.

The story centers around two fiercely fighting schoolgirls, Ryūko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryūin. On a campus ruled by force, a transfer student wielding a Basami sword brings about upheaval.

Quote
Nakashima: "In Trigger terms, I think it will be a work that has Inferno Cop's soul and Little Witch Academia's attention to detail."

Bonus:

Quote
Q: This sounds familiar. Did that happen during TTGL, too?

N: During the show (leo). Six years ago, Imaishi ripped up the finished script for Episode 1 while screaming "The drill in my heart won't spin with shit like this!"

Someone translated the interview, and it includes lines like these:

Quote
N: Initially we were making a battle-manga type show, but it changed to character drama. The battle-show planned for a complete story ended up becoming a work where regular characters' development/drama will be thoroughly explored. The work coincidentally became much more interesting from there.

Quote
Q: What sort of action do you want to do this time?

I: Hand-to-hand combat (or basically fighters literally throwing themselves at each other). We only had three episodes of that in TTGL. I've always wanted to do an all-out battle between characters with Nakajima at the helm (writing).

N: Yes, it's like the Yoko vs. Adiane fight (from the TTGL film) for the whole thing.

Quote
Q: What sort of characters are Matoi Ryuuko and Kiryuuin Satsuki?

I: Ryuuko and Satsuki are developed through their clashing. Initially, Ryuuko was a bit gloomy/introverted character, but we gave her a brighter personality because Satsuki is cool and hard as ice.

N: Both of them are main characters. Their universe has uniforms that match an individual's talents/skills and give them respective powers, and Satsuki is trying to rule the Academy with that uniform's power. Ryuuko resists this movement. It'll be a sculptured drama centered around both of them.

Severing Crime Edge is still awesome. After a boring Episode 6 of Valvrave, I'm moving it up to AOTY 1a (Valvrave is AOTY 1b now).

spoiler (click to show/hide)
In the latest episode, this whip chick appears who has the power to mind control people with her whip, and she mind controls Kiri and is going to make him kill Iwai, but first she wants to assert her dominance over Iwai and break her down mentally. So she's like "Maybe I'll have Kiri cut my hair...muhahaha!" because you see in the erotically charged fetish world of Crime Edge, cutting hair is almost sex. It's at least 2nd Base for sure. So then Iwai starts bawling and she's like "Nooooooo, you can't cut the hair of someone like that!" and Kiri takes his scissors and takes a lock of the whip chick's hair and starts to cut it, but then instead he rips it out by the roots and is like "Look at these split ends...disgusting. Your hair is so filthy, it brought me back to my senses."  :lol Then he kicks the shit out of her and kills(?) her manslave, while she bawls about how other girl's teased her in middle school and she just wanted to make people like her.  :lol

I see a bunch of anime fans knocking it, but they're just mad that it doesn't have little girls making squeaky sex noises and saying uguu~

Modern MLP is pretty good, but 80s MLP was totally the shit!  The art style was still cool, but a little more realistically proportioned.  And if I'm honest, Mattel knew what the hell they were doing with the marketing.  You didn't have the hodge podge of awful vectors like you see on the modern MLP merch.

while dicking around the internet i found this manga called koe de oshigoto,it's about a 16 year old girl working as a voice actress for eroge (anime porn games) and it never goes for more than 2 pages without someone saying dick,vagina or cum... there isn't a lot of fanservice in the classic sense but somehow the whole thing is drenched in " :-\" pictures and it ranks pretty high in the "shit i've seen" scale

and then i see people going on internet crusade because dragon crown sorceress boobs are too big :fbm

I've been paying a lot more attention to the latest eps, the art style, setting, costumes are great. They also do some interesting things with illumination/lighting.

For someone who revels in Z-grade JRPGs, you're pretty naive about the ways of glorious Nippon, magus. But to answer your question, go google "Seikon no Qwaser," keeping in mind that this aired on TV.

i knew it by names as "that manga where they power up with breast milk" i gave it a quick glance (to the manga not the anime) and besides the icky premise it looked like a normal action manga with some fanservice slapped on it

i'm not sure discussing different kind of manga ickiness is a good idea though :whew

Let's be fair here- these shows air on cable/satellite channels, usually very late at night or very early in the mornings, and it's not like cable channels here couldn't air the same thing- for as much crazy perverted shit as they have, we have gotten "worse" in stuff like South Park and the like.

When I went to Italy, they had softcore porn on TV.  Saw near-hardcore on TV in Israel, of all places.

Regardless, mentioning that series was more in response to magus acting like he'd found some secret, underground manga that nobody knows about because its the most reprehensible thing that's ever been made.  Koe de Oshigoto is published in a semi-mainstream manga magazine! Alongside fairly well-known titles like Mahoromatic, Ikki Toussen, Candidate for Goddess, and Moon Phase.

Just wait until magus finds out about Kodomo no Jikan. :lol

well it's not like i wanted to be it like that... it's just that i think of myself as open-minded when it comes to skeevy fanservice so i was surprised of finding something that made me uncomfortable,that's all :lol

Do you know many comic magazines there are?  I lived over there and frequented bookshops- never heard of "Comic Gum."    It's listed as a magazine series targeted at the 18+ crowd, so it's not going to be where Jump and the like are I guess.  I certainly did see the collected editions for comics like Ikkitousen displayed though.

I'd never heard of Koe No Oshigoto until you guys just started talking about it here.   :P  Thanks Magus for bringing more weirdness to light.

We've got Japanese bookstores in Seattle that carry the comic magazines, but I still had no clue how many different ones are actually published on a regular basis in Japan. I lost track of all the different titles I saw at train stations, bookstores, 7-11s, Lawsons, etc.

A lot of people?  As in who?  And that series doesn't have an official English release, right?  It's just some fan-translation shit?  That is niche as hell to anyone who's not an otaku-weeaboo type.

I watched 60 episodes of Toriko over the past few weeks. I thought the Jewel Meat and Century Soup arcs were decent but otherwise it was a big disappointment  :(  I don't know if its filler or stuff from the manga but the one off episodes are terrible (and the show is full of them). Whether its scaring apples or helping the curry shop owner get his groove back they aren't funny or charming, just plain boring.

I scanned the remaining ~40 episode descriptions to catch up and none of it seemed that interesting so I'm done.

People need to be reading this series:

(http://i.imgur.com/qBe3xlD.jpg)

It's a darkly-whimsical odyssey through a very strange fantasy world, a bit like Kino's Journey but without all the philosophizing. The characters designs are really cutesy, but it works with the fairy-tale vibe that runs through the whole thing and is a nice contrast to the gothic art style that's present everywhere else. The art really stands out in the handful of color pages that pepper each volume [there are three so far].

Attack on Titan Ep. 9 and Gargantia Ep. 9 spoilers!

spoiler (click to show/hide)
John Stalvern waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were demons in the base. He didn’t see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
John was a space marine for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the spaceships and he said to dad “I want to be on the ships daddy.”
Dad said “No! You will BE KILL BY DEMONS”
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the space station base of the UAC he knew there were demons.
“This is Joson” the radio crackered. “You must fight the demons!”
So John gotted his palsma rifle and blew up the wall.
“HE GOING TO KILL US” said the demons
“I will shoot at him” said the cyberdemon and he fired the rocket missiles. John plasmaed at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
“No! I must kill the demons” he shouted
The radio said “No, John. You are the demons”
And then John was a zombie.

Stolen from duckroll:

Quote
Hayao Miyazaki's new movie Kaze Tachinu opens in Japan on July 20. Today they had a press conference where they announced the full cast and screened the 4 minute trailer to the press for the first time. The trailer screens in cinemas across Japan starting this weekend. But that's not what I'm here to share with you. You can check out details about the movie and pretty posters in Sculli's thread here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541425

I'm here to talk to you about the amazing audio production details for this movie. It is either an act of true artistic genius, or Miyazaki has lost his marbles due to old age. It's hard to tell which is which yet, but the producer confirmed at the press conference that the film will feature a mono only soundtrack and that for the fighter plane engine sound effects, they've decided to employ a technique of recording effects produced by human vocals.

This, combined with the fact that the lead role in the film is played by Hideaki Anno, makes the audio in the film potentially jarring. Anno is the director of Evangelion. He's 53 years old, and he's not a professional voice actor or normal actor in any capacity. He is an animator and a director. But it doesn't seem to have deterred Miyazaki from casting him in the lead role of a young man. Super weird.

The movie looks pretty interesting, and is definitely one of the most realistic and heaviest films which Miyazaki has ever made, but this is just starting to sound strange. I understand the desire to want to do "old things" to capture the 1920s era, which the film is set in, but I dunno if this is a great idea considering how mainstream Ghibli is, and the normal expectations attached to a big blockbuster film from the studio and from Miyazaki. Lol.

lmao  :lol  Miyazaki's like "Guess what suckas, I'm old as hell and I'll do what I want." :miyamoto

I mean those droopy, overwrought fleshy butts and stuff were already in his work, and then there was creepy stuff in each manga, like the poop-eating octopi in Orion, but the last time I checked in, he was trying to get prerendered CG backgrounds to work with traditional illustrated people, and just doing calendars.

I'm sad! No, seriously!

He hasn't released a proper comic in more than a decade, and that one was, unfortunately, the wretchedly awful Gits 2, which was every bit the Dark Knight Strikes Again to GitS 1's The Dark Knight Returns. Which means the last decent comic he released was Dominion: Conflict 1, all the way back in 1995.

Real Drive and Ghost Hound were pretty good, but his involvement in those likely didn't extend beyond the initial idea, with much of the reason for the quality of those two shows resting with talent like Ryutaro Nakamura, Chiaki J. Konaka, Kazuhiro Furuhashi, and Junichi Fujisaku.

I liked Ghost Hound, had pretty good animation from what I remember. It's a teenagers turn into heroes kind of thing, with a pretty good hook I thought.
Real Drive I appreciated more for it's opening (which introduced me to 9mm Parabellum Bullet) than the show itself. Don't think I watched the entire thing and I don't remember a whole lot of it.

Ghost Hound is even less like GitS than Real Drive is. The tech doesn't play a very big role at all.

Ghost Hound was really good, though I thought it kinda went off the rails a bit in the last few episodes. I need to get back to watching Real Drive, but what little I did watch of it was really interesting, it's kinda like GitS-level technology but more laid back with its story.

I wouldn't say that. Gundam Wing definitely has a huge yaoi thing though to increase female watchers.

"I will kill you" is still classic status though.

Aside from Eric P,there's not enough manga talk in here. I recently finished Mardock Scramble. Altogether it was a decent series,with okay to really good art(partically the action scenes). Also the artist of the series did a one shot called Koe no Katachi which is a about a deaf girl being bullied. it's great. It's also gonna be turned into a series.

I've largely stopped reading manga a while ago as well, when everything I actually still bought went on long breaks because they caught up to the Japanese collections. Then I started reading the scans and now I'm fully on the dark side, because I'd rather buy video games I don't play.

So: Berserk, Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal.
Other stuff I like, but don't follow too closely: Dorohedoro, I Am Hero, All-rounder Meguro, Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Gantz and probably something else I don't remember.

Oda is still pretty young though so he has time to make a stinker (not that I think he will) I havent really read any of Araki's other works, but Jojo for sure will stay the test of time.

mind meltingly awesome
it's manga aimed at an older female audience so it's really different from what you'd probably normally read but if you're a fan of stuff like Perfect Blue, you may be into this.

also Volume 2 of Gundam Origin came in today.  Can't wait to read that.
Really liked the first volume in that it cleaned up the "monster of the week" format of the original and is just presenting the story elements of UC79

The genre is called Josei. Well one of my absolute favorite is Honey and Clover :heart Paradise Kiss is great too, my avatar Nana is another good example.

Post by: Momo on June 25, 2013, 02:44:16 PM
Anything over 18 is generally Josei, some are meant for older ladies but yeah. Shoujo (for younger pre-18 girls) are usually angsty or idolized love story stuff. Like Kimi ni Todoke.

ok I see

so there is no "middling" genre like there is for men or is it just lack of exposure because the American market chases the male dollar?

like Bleach -> GTO -> Crying Freeman (just for example)

Post by: Momo on June 25, 2013, 03:53:14 PM
There are middling things, but generally I think they all just fall in the seinen grouping, well josei in this case. So Josei will stretch from the fluffy to the ultra serious

Oy.

Lots of good manga being licensed these days but I don't have the money for it.

Can you guys suggest some manga? It's been a while, maybe two years since I read actively. These days, I just read One Piece and the occasional Yotsuba and have since 2011. I read mostly adult oriented manga such as seinen and josei, but it's not a requirement, hence Yotsuba and One Piece.

Josei stuff I love:

Nana
Loveless
Usagi Drop
Nodame
Kimi wa Petto


Random seinen I enjoy:

Sanctuary
Tough
Teppu
REAL
Monster
Eden
Emma
anything by Tatsumi

I do love romance shoujo manga. I find them relaxing and cute, stuff like Marmalade Boy and Kare Kano. Anything new in that area but for ya know, adults? I'm not a teenager anymore so I don't identify with those characters as much these days. I tried watching Honey and Clover anime back in the day and found it bad, but I chalk that up to a weird animu.

Haven't read Paradise Kiss or the manga mentioned on this page so I have a good place to start.

This one's got Logicoma's, and it's not just a glorified vehicle, though it doesn't get much screentime in the first episode. There is a CG special with the disc release, though.

MY problem with Berserk in Dark Age is that it starts out great, and then Guts builds up this party of KIDS and shit and it feels like a fucking shounen story when it supposed to be goddamn seinen because he has a pack of children and annoying people trailing behind him. FUCK. The only one I can stand is Puck. Please tell me that Isidro and that stupid LOLI WITCH and her fairy die.

What else should I be watching then? Already heard of Gargantia and Valvrave. Gonna watch the first eps of both soon and end up marathoning em also if I like what I see.

I'm really just hungry for more AoT though. Think I'll start the manga.

Edit: Forgot to ask: if you could only pay for one, which is worth more/has the better shows? Crunchyroll or Funimation? Thinking of cancelling my netflix for a month or two and catching up on all the good anime I've missed. I can do it. I excel at back to back marathon runs of tv shows.

I'd go with Crunchyroll. Funimation still airs most of its shows in HD for free, and Crunchyroll gets more of the new shows.

Benn watching Psycho-Pass. I like how fast it moves, but the pace is kind of jarring at the same time. Nothing against character development, but everything seems to fall into place too neatly.

Something I don't get about the tech. What the hell do people actually wear? The holo clothing seems to become corporeal, but that makes no sense.

I think the show picks up around there.

Valvrave spoilers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M0tJYPEzc4
I think this video perfectly sums up an anime about a young kid who denies his humanity by agreeing to an EULA so that he can pilot a mecha that commits harakiri to unlock its ultimate attack once its temperature 666 death units and turns him into a body swapping, rapey vampire so that he can defend a country that was created in a spur in the moment by his high school classmates from Space Nazis and corrupt Americans with the help of a guy  that can predict the future down to the minute.

Bokurano is not nearly as idiotic as that sounds, even though at the core the story is much the same, i.e. kids saving the world by piloting a mech (with a price to be paid). It's just soul-crushingly bleak and sad and every twist just makes it sadder. Naru Taru, by the same author, is just as dark and fucked up, even though they both look innocent and silly.

No way Momo, I've been reading the manga since the anime finished and think the show sells a lot the dramatic moments better. I finished volume 5 yesterday and I keep wondering/imagining how the anime would do it, what would the music be like,etc.  Granted since I started with the show it's not much of a surprised that's my preference.

Also Gundam the Origin Vol.2 came out a week or so ago.

going to quote myself but this is really good,the plot is about a guy who goes on some resort island and ends up on some hotel,there he meets a pretty big cast of character made up of the two maid of the hotels,the luchadore owner of the hotel,the other hotel customer's and a few local,then as the manga goes on it's revealed that every one of them has some batshit secret behind them

What all you like, but her attractiveness plays a part in Takao's psyche as well as the uneasiness one feels when seeing her as a social outcast. The disconnect between what should be (normally) and what is makes Nakamura for me.

Whatever Rumbler. You're meant to be asking yourself how did she become this ugly (internally), if you check out the source material (charles baudelaire) you'll see it's about a slow descent into realizing the world is ugly and getting uglier. Yes you experience that through Takao (well not really, from his viewpoint it seems like the world gets better *spoiler removed*) but Nakamura is the essence of a descent into dirt. She has all the tools to become a queen bee, her attractiveness was the first thing that had me asking myself how she ended up where she was, she's just as pretty as Saeki.

Saeki does a better job that Takao in illustrating how a seed of evil can take hold and warp a person, but Nakamura is first prize, you lose a sense of perspective when she looks like a fat, loner, loser that was forced into being a social pariah. She never was, she chose this because her life got fucked up along the way.

Anyway, I think Nakamura looks just fine in the anime version. Most of her ugliness comes from how she talks, acts, and carries herself, more so than from a bad design, as seen here:

Hey, at least they didn't give her weird side-burn things like that one girl that appeared in the background of a single episode for some inexplicable reason. What was up with that? No one knows!

Also, this:

Therefore, your argument is invalid.

Is Valvrave actually a good show, because that 1st episode was awful and I'm not sure if this is another CG situation where people like it because it's insane. Thats why people like Geass right?

I mean having an Angela song is already a mark of badness.

Anyway, Flowers of Evil [the anime] was really great, easily my favorite show of the year so far. And really, only Kill La Kill is likely to unseat it out of the remaining two seasons. Regardless of everything else in the show, the way every scene is framed, the way the "action" is handled, the utterly entrancing soundtrack, and how it managed to build so much tension out of situations that ought to be so mundane and boring is truly second-to-none in the anime scene.

Wolfsmund is a dark historical manga set in the early 14th century of Europe (Switzerland). The story revolves around the eponymous fortress in the St. Gotthard Pass which is ruled by a sadistic tyrant. Basically, each chapter deals with characters who for some reason have to cross the pass and who end up getting interrogated by the mentioned tyrant.

The author pulls no punches to show us just how brutal and inhuman the Middle Ages really were.

got the first volume of Wolfsmund today and it's brutal in a metal way

lots of torture / interrogations and beheadings

basically governor wolfram is a tasked with ensuring that only merchants pass through his gate and in that he is a VERY enthusiastic civil servant.  the first volume contains 3 chapters, each follows a basic forumula.  1) introduction, this group of people have to escape through the alps to Italy 2) confrontation, this group of people try their hand at getting through the gate 3) beheadings, this group of people get caught and murdered.

there's a degree of disconnect because the art style is very anime.  i would expect something grittier like Bezerk but it's very clean and clear; lots of blond characters with anime noses and chins.

the first two stories were very interesting but the third one turned the lord wolfram (the sadistic captain who monitors the gate) into batman.  he appeared in a near impossible place in a near impossible time frame to capture the chumps for that chapter.

Haven't tried streaming with Funimation yet. Not even sure what shows they have.

Fumination's layout isn't as good as Crunchyroll's and their site is pretty flaky. Their back catalog is pretty good because Funimation licenses a lot of stuff, but they don't get as many simulcasts as Crunchyroll. Usually like 3 or 4 a season.

They had "The Devil is a Part-Timer!!" last season, which was pretty good.

Beginning with the Mobile Suit Gundam anime and feature film in 1979, the mech media and merchandise empire and its spinoffs have traditionally sorta centered around one or more youths hopping inside awesome humanoid mechs to stop civil wars between people living on Earth and those who’ve colonized space. This fall the newest iteration of the franchise, Gundam Build Fighters, is about a middle-school student who is really good at building Bandai’s plastic Gundam model kits… and then battling them like Pokemon with friends and rivals.

I'm watching Golion on Crunchyroll.

It's not repetitive at all.  :lol

But it is okay, and I remember all those Voltron toys when I was a kid but they never actually showed the show in my area, same thing as Macross / Robotech.

Macross is on Hulu and I think it held up pretty well and was a pretty damn good show.  Golion might get good, I dunno, but I'm pretty bored with it so far.  Seemed interesting to watch it unedited, watch some bystander extra characters get maimed horribly or something, I dunno... but yeah, it's enlarge beastman of the day, make robot, use sword, repeat.  Waste as much runtime as possible with the same sequences of boarding the lions and performing the combination... although this actually makes viewing it faster, I can just skip any of this junk I've already seen 10 times.


Golion is basically an animated version of those super sentai fighting force shows that started in the 70's, which is partially why is doesn't hold up as well as a show like Macross that had an on-going storyline and more grounded action.

They're all 14 and the guys are like 18-20. And in one episode Usagi gets drunk and makes out with Tuxedo Mask.  :gurl

But other than Tuxedo Mask being a bit date rapey, PGSM is a pretty awesome show still. I just watched through the first season myself. :rock

Apparently, they already have enough money for the first 20 minutes and will use the $150k to extend the length by another 15 minutes.

And they've already blown through that goal by nearly $50k and it's only just now the morning of the first full day.

The first season or so of SM was pretty laughable with the Scooby hijinks and monster of the week format. It had it's charm but it was very.... 80's, lol. Also dat endlessly repeated stock footage.

The rest of the show had much better pacing and less dumb moments. The final arc was just crazy awesome.

DBZ doesn't hold up all that well, but I think Kai was amazing and stands above most of today's anime. Amazing what just a little tweaking can do.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Summer Malaize
Post by: Himu on July 09, 2013, 01:19:19 PM
In regards to SM, don't concentrate on monster of the week. You should be concentrating on the characters interaction with one another, and once Zoisite gets involved, their interaction with the monster of the week, because they're usually human characters the cast latches on to. Also, storylines start to last for long stretches of episodes like Naru's depression from Nephrite's death.

And Sailor Moon is from the 90's.

I think the first season is fantastic by virtue of Usagi's character growth, the mystery of the silver crystal, the moon princess, and the moon kingdom. Then again, I haven't seen later seasons of SM since I was a teen.

Read Volume 6 of Flowers of Evil yesterday.  Wow.  The previous few volumes had been kind of annoying to be honest what with it practically turning into a harem book, but volume 6 sees some actual consequences to the acts that had been perpetuated.  It feels like a penultimate volume rather than just another ongoing volume.  I have no idea where this is going and the fact that the series is continuing is somewhat worrying because when it doesn't just drag it feels like the author is making it up as he goes rather than reaching for an overall arc or theme.

Hey Himu,

Not sure how the Japanese learnin' is going, but this is your new friend:

http://www.fengyunzhibo.com/space/japan.htm?from=index

I've been using it for about a year now. Great live HD feeds and lots of channels to choose from. They used to have Animax, so it might come back in the future.

Also, be warned that 95% of Japanese TV is terrible.

i'm watching the new Gatchaman right now

it's uh Gatchamoe

school kids fighting persona style monsters using mystic powers

edit; the leader is a panda  (http://i.imgur.com/SrSB99B.gif)

edit; there is an effeminate gatchaman who can't transform dressed all in purple with purple hair named OD (http://i.imgur.com/mIXtKcY.gif)

edit: the panda is an alien.  they are fighting aliens, not monsters.  alien criminals

edit: alien criminals can camouflage themselves into anything.  this dude is now fighting a bus which is really an alien.

edit: oh god.  gatchamoe cyber costume.

edit: it's over.

Dog and Scissors is some weird ass shit.  I have no idea what's going on.  A guy is beating up a girl using fictional fighting styles she created for her books while a dog looks on, narrating.

ah i see what you mean but there is less survival drama than you'd think and more "whodunnait" a-la detective conan and the like (at least if it doesn't stray much from the source material) there are also tons of plot twist which is what it made it so engaging for me

the ending is super stupid though

I don't think it was a dig at westerners, I think he was just bringing it up. He actually seemed to agree with some westerners. It's the main character who who didn't give a shit so long as it was efficient.

Bandai

Beginning with the Mobile Suit Gundam anime and feature film in 1979, the mech media and merchandise empire and its spinoffs have traditionally sorta centered around one or more youths hopping inside awesome humanoid mechs to stop civil wars between people living on Earth and those who’ve colonized space. This fall the newest iteration of the franchise, Gundam Build Fighters, is about a middle-school student who is really good at building Bandai’s plastic Gundam model kits… and then battling them like Pokemon with friends and rivals.

Watamote is fucking great. Best this season everyone go home.
Gatchman Crowds is cool.
Silver Spoon is alright.
Attack of Titan's OP2 song isn't as the first but animation wise it's  :drool
Lovelab also has some :drool animation as well. Episode 1 was pretty good. Yuri over/undertones~

"He is also a coward" Momo why is HunterXHunter is so good. I don't understand. The HxH film comes out next week.

I recently rewatched Sword of the Stranger. It's a really good movie, really enjoyed.

Also Eric I dunno if you know about it/into Suehiro Maruo but The Strange Tale of Panorama Island finally came out.

You said you wanted a show where no one is safe and political intrigue. We suggested Berserk.

Also, Death Proof :lol

Deathnote is not even in the same league as Berserk.

Quote
Dr. Kenzo Tenma is a renowned young brain surgeon of Japanese descent working in Europe. Highly lauded by his peers as one of the great young minds that will revolutionize the field, he is blessed with a beautiful fiancé and is on the cusp of a high promotion in the hospital he works at. However, all of that is about to change with one critical decision that Dr. Tenma faces one night—whether to save the life of a young child or that of the town's mayor. Despite being pressured by his superiors to perform surgery on the mayor, his morals force him to perform the surgery on the young child, saving his life and forfeiting the mayor's. All of a sudden, Dr. Tenma's world is turned upside down by his decision leading to the loss of everything he previously had. A doctor is taught to believe that all life is equal; however, when a series of murders occur in the vicinity of Dr. Tenma, all of the evidence pointing to the young child who he saved, Tenma's beliefs are shaken.

Naoki Urasawa's Monster is a tale full of mystery, suspense and intrigue as Dr. Tenma journeys to find out the true identity of the young child. In turn, the fate of the world may depend on it.

I dunno about the new Genshiken. It's too...wild and too...anime. While Genshiken had its crazy moments, it was fairly grounded. This new one is just hyperactive and just what the fuck.

Me too. I'll wait a bit first though. Catching up wit Attack on Titan and Hunter X Hunter has reminded me how much I hate waiting for new episodes weekly. I'm back to watching completed shows. Currently up to episode 6 of Xamd.

Just the other day I remembered there was a new Genshiken anime of it and watched what was out.  It's consistent with the old Genshiken and also pretty different for having a predominantly female cast.  Compared to the manga it feels even more focused on Hato by reducing the other characters, but he's the Sasahara of this new series so it's fine.
 
I too need to find a new anime that isn't just an old series I'm already invested in.  Hunter x Hunter and Genshiken are all I watch.  Although watching the chimera arc of HxH animated is swell.  Totally worth the long (long long) wait, especially for how little it's censored.

Ippo season 3 is still covering quality Ippo.  I dropped the series a while back because it unbearably stale.  Although one of the series' best moments probably won't show up until a hypothetical season 4.

One of my favorite general review sites did a post on Flowers of Evil

http://hoodedutilitarian.com/2013/07/aku-no-hana-and-the-politics-of-decadence/

Quote
Before going any further, let’s see what mental images a synopsis like this conjures: “Takao Kasuga is a shy, book-loving high school student who’s had a crush on classmate Saeki Nanako for as long as he can remember. One day, in a moment of lust and foolishness, he steals her gym uniform from class, only to be caught in the act by the quiet and lonely Sawa Nakamura. Knowing she has sway over him, Nakamura forces Kasuga to make a contract with her, or else risk having his secret revealed to the entire class!”

What you might expect from such a synopsis is a harem anime where a bemused, stand-in protagonist finds himself pulled into wacky situations by a cast of cute and quirky moe girls. What you get is one of the most genuinely disturbing and hard to watch anime series of the past 5 years.

Deb Aoki of manga.about.com has launched mangacomicsmanga.com to talk about manga and they launched w/ a very interesting list

http://mangacomicsmanga.com/san-diego-comic-con-best-worst-manga-of-2013/

On Saturday evening, an opinionated group of manga and comics bloggers, retailers, editors, and pundits gathered to rant and rave (okay, mostly rant) about the best new manga that debuted in the past year, the continuing manga series most worth reading, the most anticipated upcoming releases, the Japanese manga we most want to see licensed/published in English, and of course, the worst manga that you’d best avoid.

Oh, I finished Doubt.  Doubt is a locked door mystery game of werewolf. 

werewolf is a party game where everyone in a group is a hunter except one member is a werewolf.  the hunters try to find the werewolf using deduction while the werewolf is kills one person a round.  the game is one of paranoia as the werewolf does his best to remain hidden while the hunters typically turn on one another to find the true culprit.

in the manga they play a similar game over phones called Rabbit Doubt, where there are rabbits and a wolf.  A group of players / friends decides to meet in person when they are all knocked out.  they awaken with tattoos of a bar code on their bodies and they are being murdered one by one.  fear and paranoia ratchet up as everyone is a suspect.

the first volume is goofy but fun as the people try to figure out what is happening and as they turn on each other trying for figure out who the killer is
the second volume is goofy stupid as the true killer is revealed.  The ending is straight up dumb and never ending as twist after twist after twist after twist is revealed. it reads like a Bendis comic book and waiting for this in serial form must have been agonizing as you'd get 3 conversations and splash page after splash page of eyeball close ups as people react in shock to the latest turn of events.

avoid like the plague.

Just watched the three episodes out of the new Genshiken. I wasn't a huge fan of the first episode but the other two were top notch once they got into more character focused stuff. The new characters are pretty good so far, Hato especially is excellent.

Now the wait for more and the decision of what to watch next.

silver spoon continues to be quite good even if the theme every week is "wait, food comes from ANIMALS?!"  Good characters and a good way of teaching stuff while being entertaining.  Like learning about ban'ei which is weighted horse racing w/ obstacles designed to showcase the horses strength rather than its speed.

I watched up to episode 8 of Valvrave and dear god, I'm not sure I can take much more of it. It's really pretty awful.

I will say it's well paced.

And I have a question. What is this Girl und Panzer? Is it legit? I take a look at it and I see lame animation and moe designs complete with the check list of personalities. So I'm not interested, but it seems to have a strong following complete with people yelling how it needs to be on tv so more people can see this show. Is it actually good or just otaku bait?

senyuu is pretty cool,the plot is pretty much your standard fantasy anime,a demon king summon an army of monster to invade the world and the hero has to defeat him and yadda yadda... but the things it's totaly bonker,hilarious and random,the hero gets abused by pretty much everyone and spends very little time on air,he is a followed by a soldier who spends all his time pestering and annoying him,the demon king is actualy an harmless loli who actualy summoned the monster by mistake (she wanted to make popcorn you see) she summoned 12 demons (all with the names of a month) and they too are another layer of stupid and each episode ends with some new character introduced,a cliffhanger or a plot twist... each episode is only 4 minute long so it takes less time going through the currently released 18 episode than your average shonen fight... apparently it was some sort of web manga before being made into an anime which is why the episode are so short

I watched the first 5 episodes of Dog and Scissors. The show is dumb but not in the fun way. Its just really bland. The characters aren't interesting and the humor falls flat. I'm struggling to even have an opinion about it. I imagine I'll forget everything about it in 3 days

But I'll keep watching it because the dog is too damn cute :lawd

i know all of these (GTO and Golden Boy have even been on television along with trigun and cowboy bebop here) except sexy commando gaiden... but from the description sexy commando gaiden sounds exactly like the sort of show i would enjoy
also as someone who has read the watamote manga is there a reason to bother with the anime? i usualy do one or the other and rarely both since same stories and all

The WATAMOTE anime has been really good, its brand of feel-bad humor seems very well suited to that medium. Let me put it this way: I've laughed out loud way more at the anime than I did at the manga.

Uwagaki Manga
Quote
[/size][/size][size=78%]It’s fairly obvious to Terui Chiaki that her classmate Ajikawa Yoshio has a crush on her. He is completely not boyfriend material in her eyes and, even if he was, Chiaki already has a boyfriend. Their mysterious teacher Mr. Yamada sees this relationship between the two students and offers an experiment. He is able to make copies of people and objects and does so with Chiaki, creating a copy of her, except the copy has no knowledge of her boyfriend. Yoshio will hit on the Chiaki copy, who is named Koaki, and he'll try to make her fall in love with him. After a specified amount of time, the copy and original will be combined back together and which ever love is stronger between the current boyfriend and Yoshio will overwrite all other emotions. So this love experiment begins and both Chiaki and Koaki, being the same person, thinks Yoshio has no chance in hell but with each passing day, some feelings begin to bubble. [/size]

Is there going to be a fourth Berserk movie or were they only covering the same golden age? I read that the movies stuck closer to the manga than the anime adaptation.  It's crazy that for as popular and long running as Berserk is, almost all that's been animated is the flashback arc.  The closest to covering the rest is that PS2 game.

Some choice information about Space Dandy:

Quote
Space Dandy isn’t serious at all and will be very comedic. “Like Mushroom Samba every week.”
They want Space Dandy to feel like old-school sci-fi but modern and new at the same time.
They’re trying to make Space Dandy as epic as possible that it surprises everyone watching it.

Quote
The characters ride their spaceship Aloha Oe every week to a new planet. A different planet every week. This means there will be brand new aliens every week.

Quote
Bebop was 80% serious, 20% comedy. Space Dandy is the opposite.

Quote
In the world of Space Dandy, they listen to all their music on cassette tapes. The latest audio technology is cassettes. MP3s and CDs do not exist.

Quote
Watanabe was worried about the different aliens all looking too similar, so every planet’s aliens have a different designer. The alien designers are all secrets and they will be announced episode by episode. There are some very famous ones. He told every designer to think of the aliens of their wildest dreams. They have over 100 aliens.

Quote
Space Dandy will have 20 artists working on the music. 3-4 songs per artist. No instruments invented after 1984 for musicians.

Berserk is good but kind of repetitive. Each episode seems to feature the sellsword company easily defeating an enemy; except for that ep where they fight the demon, they've steam rolled everything. Just saw ep9 where the king's brother tries to have Griffith killed.

Griffith gives me Rhaegar Targaryen vibes. Valiant, brilliant, beautiful, soft spoken, perfect warrior, etc. Even looks like him.

Technically he began writing ASOIAF in 1989/1990 so they're about the same age. Not saying something is being copied, just an interesting comparison between two characters.

Nah

Gatts is the only person to make him "forget his dream". I wouldn't say that is the talk of someone who simply is a friend/equal. It's the talk of someone that can see his dream totally replaced by the care and attention of Gatts. You can tell by the way he lashes out that his issue is sexual in nature. Gatts leaves --> seduces the princess. Gatss is with Casca --> rapes Casca. In both cases he lashes out against Gatts using sex as a weapon. I don't think this is a random occurrence.

Eh, it can go both ways.
Seducing the princess is only a shortcut to the kingdom. He got impatient and reached for the stars a little too early because Guts humiliated him by finally freeing himself of his control. At their first meeting Griffith humiliated Guts, made him a follower and valuable asset. Raping Casca was a set-up to invade the real world later on and finally claim his kingdom. Probably also twisted revenge for the both of them being happy together, while he wasted away. But even as he's sacrificing everything and everyone he always had an ulterior motive: to rise above everyone else.

Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Summer Malaize
Post by: Phoenix Dark on August 12, 2013, 11:50:25 PM
One of my complaints thus far is how disjointed the world seems. They go to a castle, win, go to another castle, win, go to the capital city for a bit, go to another castle, etc. I'd like more information on a lot of this shit, more insight on the tactics, etc.

Also while I'm guessing it'll be explained soon, Griffith's ability to figure everything out perfectly feels stale. I get that he has unnatural help but still, it's like easy mode nonstop. For instance the episode where he kills the guy he banged for gold. He knew he'd enter the field and leave the castle unguarded, he knew the sand storm would hide his forces, etc. Everything is perfect.

Overall I think the show is great obviously, but stuff like that bothers me. Also, the constant monologues and "people explaining shit." Like Griffith burning the queen and her conspirators, and explaining his plan in the middle of town...come on. I guess it's a weakness of the medium, much like comics.

Quote from: JayDubya on August 13, 2013, 10:04:22 AM
By the way, here's where Berserk's meta-plot falls apart due to Fridge Logic.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Guts struggles against and breaks fate.

Griffith is guided by fate as, more or less, the messiah of the Idea of Evil, aka "God."

Guts fucks up Griffith's destiny to become king by leaving the Band, resulting in Griffith going mad. 

Griffith ultimately uses the behelit to become the head of the Godhand at the cost of all of the lives of his loyal soldiers; Griffith does this because his body is ruined and he wanted to kill himself rather than live a life unfilled, never reaching his dream of becoming the king, and ultimately decides the lives of all of his compatriots are just a few more bodies on the pile, totally worth it to reach that castle in his dream.

"God" wants Griffith to become part of his Godhand.

If Guts didn't struggle against fate and resist Griffith's pull, Griffith wouldn't have gone off the deep end and fucked Charlotte, leading to his arrest and subsequent quadraplegic maiming, glossectomy, castration, etc.  If he wasn't in this desperate state, the Behelit / Godhand scenario might not have been seductive enough to convince Griffith to sign up to become Femto.    So does "God" want Griffith to fail and be maimed so he takes the deal?  And if so, then Guts leaving was fate and all part of the plan?  So is Guts really breaking fate, or not?


The only solution I can think of is that Griffith is ultimately an extremely evil Machiavellian asshole who would have sold out his friends anyway.  In which case, Guts may have altered the specifics of the scenario but it was going to happen with or without him.
[close]

An easier solution:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Guts leaving was a part of fate, as was Griffith being broken. In order to become one of the Godhand, perhaps God felt that Griffith needed to suffer before he ascended? After all, in the world of Berserk, the world is pretty fucking dark, so who knows WHAT is on God's mind or plan? The problem is you assume that God does all this because he is good. If God wants Griffith in his Godhand, then he clearly gives no fucks about how the thing is handled, so long as it happens, and Griffith becoming a broken shell of a man is the best course to that end goal.

The more concerned story thread is that the entire story hinges on Guts killing Griffith. Was that in God's plan? As you said, this  is a story about fate and destiny. Perhaps Guts manages to divert or change fate?

Right before the Eclipse?

You may be thinking of Wyald.  He wasn't a goat, but he was pretty savage looking even before he showed his true Apostle form.  I checked the wiki and it appears that the new trilogy of films also cuts out Wyald. 

It was kind of cool to see the Band of the Hawk take down a demon Apostle before the Eclipse.  That storyline was also extremely grimdark and had a bit of the ultraviolence.  As I recall he raped a village girl then severed her torso off and mounted it on his lance. 

The whole story was gratuitous in every way.  It wasn't completely pointless, and it wasn't boring.
Yeah, that demon. Sorry, my mistake.

As someone who watched the anime first, that place felt weird to me because in the anime the whole team were legit shocked to see demons and apostles at the Eclipse which made the emotional impact much more stronger.

But that's what I'm saying though. Even if the content is super crazy, it could have been an OVA/film/etc and been successful I assume, given how popular the brand is. I was just wondering if there was some specific reason nothing like that has happened, perhaps the creator not signing off or something. There's clearly a market for it, just based off the sales numbers I've looked at.

I have such mixed feelings about the Berserk anime. It's such a great show, no doubt about that, but the ending probably made me more angry and upset than any other piece of fiction. They did a really good job of building up all of the characters throughout the course of the show and then just jam them wholesale through the shredder in that last episode. Man, I still feel mad just thinking about it again. :lol

Berserk blew my fucking mind when I first read the manga forever ago, and still does with every re-read, but I honestly can't give a shit in-between re-reads.

There's decades to go before any kind of conclusion and around 5 or so years between the major plot arcs.

it is increeeeeeeeeedibly fucked up and explicitly transgressive in later chapters

it's like a manga of Arvie's NSFW posts

BUT it is very well done.  Good writing which I didn't pick up on the circular nature of the work until I reread it immediately after completing it for the first time today.

plastic nee-san was fun,turn out i saw around 3-4 animated gif on the internet about it :lol

another comedy i've found which has sort of half-stuck with me is called hime-sama goyojin... plot! a pair of thieves steal a crown so that they can hand it to some cat themed crime syndicate but on the road to deliver it they screw up and end up exchanging the bag with the crown with the bag of an idiotic schoolgirl called himeko,she ends up wearing the crown and now for some reason everybody believes she's the queen... in the meanwhile she gets chased by the two thief (who wants the crown back so that they can give it to the syndicate) the actual queen (who's a blonde loli that speak some uncomprensible form of japanese) an assassin (who can't kill her because he has a crush on her) and the prince of a foreign country (who nobody take seriously because he's a little kid)

apparently it's a 2006 anime but it really feels and look like something made in the 90'

Quote from: http://kotaku.com/the-most-mean-spirited-anime-i-have-ever-watched-1169146244
This past week, I told you about the five anime you should be watching this summer. To prepare, I asked Kotaku readers to vote on their picks. The winner by a landslide was Watamote. I am dumbfounded by this. Watamote is, quite simply, the most mean-spirited anime I have ever watched.

Watamote – No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular is ostensibly a comedy about Tomoko, a young high school freshman who, as a master of dating sims, is unable to comprehend why she isn't popular and is unsure how to change and become so.

The problem is, this show isn't a really a comedy. It's a tragedy. Any laughs you get are due to her emotional pain and suffering. And while this is fine if the character is evil and thus getting some kind of karmic comeuppance, Tomoko, as a character, has done nothing worthy of being saddled with the hell that is her life.

Let's be clear here. Tomoko is not simply a nerdy girl who is a little socially awkward. Given the state of her socialization skills, it seems safe to assume she is a girl with a severe social anxiety disorder. And as all the jokes in the series are at her expense, the show really comes off as “let's make fun of the girl with a crippling psychological disorder.”

Which, given the popularity of Watamote, is, apparently, the height of humor.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Let's take a closer look at some of the “comedic” situations in Tomoko's life.

When her homeroom teacher says goodbye to her as she leaves school, she realizes that is the first time she's had any verbal interaction with anyone outside her family in two months. She is so startled she runs away in fear (and joy).

Because crippling social anxiety is “funny.”

Once, she forgets her textbook and is too afraid to borrow one from another student (as she has literally no friends or acquaintances in school) and is then bitched out by the teacher until she cries.

Because emotional abuse by a teacher is “funny.”

She is so socially awkward that the most major social accomplishment to date is ordering at a McDonalds.

Because being barely able to put three words together and thus generally unable to do things we all find so easy to do is “funny.”

At one point, after deciding to improve her social skills, she goes to her brother—one of the few people she can talk to without being overwhelmed by anxiety—to ask him to talk with her for an hour a day. She has to threaten to kill herself to get him to listen to her before she can even ask the favor.

Because having to threaten to kill yourself to get the bare minimum of social interaction from a family member is “funny.”

Another time, she starts wishing to be molested on a train because that at least would mean she's attractive. And then when she actually thinks she is being molested (as something hard is rubbing between her legs), she screams for help in terror—realizing that being molested is not a good thing like she had hoped. It turns out to be a naginata, however, and not a molester.

Because experiencing the feelings of shame, terror, and helplessness one feels when being molested is “funny.”

There has been, to be fair, one laugh-worthy part in the show to date. Feeling depressed, she buys a boys love game and by chance wins third prize in a raffle: a back massager. Thus she finds herself walking down the street with an erotic game in one hand and what looks like a vibrator in the other. This (unlike all the previous examples) is funny. It is a sight gag based on bad luck, nothing more. Her social anxiety has nothing to do with this situation. She is not the butt of the joke.

I hear people like this show because they identify with Tomoko—that they had similar experiences in school and now look back on those experiences with nostalgic humor. But for me, despite being more than a little bit of a social outcast in high school myself, none of this is funny. It's just reveling in the pain of a mentally ill person—laughing at a girl who is even more awkward than they were in order to feel better about their own lives.

And that is just plain fucked up.

Quote from: http://kotaku.com/the-most-mean-spirited-anime-i-have-ever-watched-1169146244
This past week, I told you about the five anime you should be watching this summer. To prepare, I asked Kotaku readers to vote on their picks. The winner by a landslide was Watamote. I am dumbfounded by this. Watamote is, quite simply, the most mean-spirited anime I have ever watched.

Watamote – No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular is ostensibly a comedy about Tomoko, a young high school freshman who, as a master of dating sims, is unable to comprehend why she isn't popular and is unsure how to change and become so.

The problem is, this show isn't a really a comedy. It's a tragedy. Any laughs you get are due to her emotional pain and suffering. And while this is fine if the character is evil and thus getting some kind of karmic comeuppance, Tomoko, as a character, has done nothing worthy of being saddled with the hell that is her life.

Let's be clear here. Tomoko is not simply a nerdy girl who is a little socially awkward. Given the state of her socialization skills, it seems safe to assume she is a girl with a severe social anxiety disorder. And as all the jokes in the series are at her expense, the show really comes off as “let's make fun of the girl with a crippling psychological disorder.”

Which, given the popularity of Watamote, is, apparently, the height of humor.

But you don't have to take my word for it. Let's take a closer look at some of the “comedic” situations in Tomoko's life.

When her homeroom teacher says goodbye to her as she leaves school, she realizes that is the first time she's had any verbal interaction with anyone outside her family in two months. She is so startled she runs away in fear (and joy).

Because crippling social anxiety is “funny.”

Once, she forgets her textbook and is too afraid to borrow one from another student (as she has literally no friends or acquaintances in school) and is then bitched out by the teacher until she cries.

Because emotional abuse by a teacher is “funny.”

She is so socially awkward that the most major social accomplishment to date is ordering at a McDonalds.

Because being barely able to put three words together and thus generally unable to do things we all find so easy to do is “funny.”

At one point, after deciding to improve her social skills, she goes to her brother—one of the few people she can talk to without being overwhelmed by anxiety—to ask him to talk with her for an hour a day. She has to threaten to kill herself to get him to listen to her before she can even ask the favor.

Because having to threaten to kill yourself to get the bare minimum of social interaction from a family member is “funny.”

Another time, she starts wishing to be molested on a train because that at least would mean she's attractive. And then when she actually thinks she is being molested (as something hard is rubbing between her legs), she screams for help in terror—realizing that being molested is not a good thing like she had hoped. It turns out to be a naginata, however, and not a molester.

Because experiencing the feelings of shame, terror, and helplessness one feels when being molested is “funny.”

There has been, to be fair, one laugh-worthy part in the show to date. Feeling depressed, she buys a boys love game and by chance wins third prize in a raffle: a back massager. Thus she finds herself walking down the street with an erotic game in one hand and what looks like a vibrator in the other. This (unlike all the previous examples) is funny. It is a sight gag based on bad luck, nothing more. Her social anxiety has nothing to do with this situation. She is not the butt of the joke.

I hear people like this show because they identify with Tomoko—that they had similar experiences in school and now look back on those experiences with nostalgic humor. But for me, despite being more than a little bit of a social outcast in high school myself, none of this is funny. It's just reveling in the pain of a mentally ill person—laughing at a girl who is even more awkward than they were in order to feel better about their own lives.

And that is just plain fucked up.

:beli

"OMG an awkward social situation played for laughs, how is this funny??"

Not only that, but most humor is, in some way, based on pain. Moreover, I take offense at the author's need to victimize and call their condition "mentally ill." Give me a break.

Quote from: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/438269196/mysterious-cities-of-gold-the-video-game?ref=category
We're hard at work developing The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths on the Wii U, 3DS, iPad and iPhone, and it's on track for a release this fall (fingers crossed!).

Unfortunately, and to be completely and candidly honest, our initial plans were to release the game in French only; the new season is directed in France, and airing only in French-speaking territories, where it's the most popular.

But since we announced the game, we've been swamped with emails, and messages on various social networks, asking us to consider both an international release, and a PC version.

Those requests came from all over the world: UK, US, Germany, Latin America, Lebanon – we simply didn't anticipate it would raise such a global interest, and already had focused our development budget on the game itself.

That's where you come in.

I watched the first two seasons of Saint Seiya Omega (~50 episodes, never seen the original series). Its amazing how much better the second season is. I thought the first season was okay but it never really grabbed me. I would have dropped it if it wasn't for the ending. That left me curious enough to continue and it got so much better

A new Dragon Ball Z movie came out, first since 1995, and now another new one was announced.  I guess they're starting up the series again?

What happens in the movie
spoiler (click to show/hide)
-Dragon Ball GT is erased.  The official real truth ultimate canonical timeline is Buu business -> special with Vegeta's brother (???) -> new movie (Battle of the Gods) -> final episodes with Pan and Ubuu.
-There's now a fourth or fifth level of super god who's a furless cat of death or something named Bills, and there's multiverse with 12 'worlds' and 7 other super duper gods.
-Goku turns into Super Saiyan God by combining the saiyan powers of Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Videl (via Pan's fetus).  Still loses at the end.
-Bills bitch slaps Bulma and it makes Vegeta so pissed he surpasses Goku in power.
-Gohan gets drunk, deflects a bullet into his pregnant wife's leg.
-A 41 woman gets turned in a child and Trunks has a crush on her (and she's into it).

sooooooooooo a few years ago i've read a manga called "lucifer and the biscuit hammer" basicaly the plot goes like that a giant nutcracker hammer is going to destroy the earth and the only thing that can stop it are a bunch of 12 people who are accompanied by animal pets fighting a bunch of monsters,but the protagonist is actualy a moody unsocial fella who just wish for the world to be destroyed... coincidentaly the leader of the knight wants the world to be destroyed too and the only reason that she's fighting is that she could destroy it herself... i tought that was a pretty nice premise and actualy the only reason i stopped reading the first time was because it was still on going

now that i remembered to check it out again it's finaly finished and it's such a chore,it drags on and on and on and on and the original premise slowly fade away to make space for your standard "group of people fight a bunch of monster then they get sad for 5 chapter when somebody inevitable die" and of course in the end the world doesn't get destroyed because POWER OF FRIENDSHIP :yuck

Some of those aren't spoilers.  And where did you see that another movie was coming?  I only saw stuff for this one.  DBZ is also continuing...as in more DBZ Kai episodes are coming.  (Thanks, Wiki!)

-GT isn't "erased."  They're just ignoring it as usual.   :lol  The special with Vegeta's little brother is almost like a shorter version of this movie, with everyone sitting around eating and shit, and there's some friendly sparring and the end.  The special and this movie take place way before GT would have happened.

-The 41-year old woman who is turned into a child is Mai, Emperor Pilaf's sidekick from the old DB.

-This movie was OK I guess, but pretty much a throwaway movie much like the last special.  The biggest thing about it was the reveal that Dragonball is part of a multiverse.  Who knows if anything will come from that.  All it really did was give Goku more motivation to get even stronger and zzzzzzzzzzzz it's same damn thing over and over again.

That gay swimming anime got my sister into watching anime. She's got a crunchyroll account and keeps hitting me up for shit to watch. We've almost finished Attack on Titan. I stopped watching because I was ahead with the manga, so it's good to have an excuse to catch up.

I think Ouran High School Host Club is next for her and she seems interested in Sword Art Online. Trying to get her to watch Bleach but she didn't think it sounded cool. She's wrong, obviously.

Ouran High School Host Club is my favorite anime of all time.

Also Bleach rulez. Suck my getsuga tensho, fuckboy.

70% of the episodes have nothing happen in them, and of those that do, 70% of the time nothing is happening anyways. The characters are cool but aggressively bland at the same time. And some/much of the filler is just downright deplorable/unwatchable.

Attack on Titan speculation based on what was revealed in these 25 episodes:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The titans are biological weapons. They were developer by another country and then unleashed. Recall that it was mentioned earlier that titans don't actually digest what they eat, and they only focus on humans, and no concept of titan reproduction is ever shown or mentioned. All of that suggests that they aren't simply some kind of evolved life-form, but rather something that has been developed for a specific purpose. Anyway, the titans were super-effective in battle. However, their target was resilient and resourceful, erecting massive walls that encircled an unbelievable amount of land. At this point, normal titans have been rendered essentially useless, they've gone as far as they go.

So, a new generation was put into development: the aberrant titans. Each has a specialized ability focused on countering some aspect of the other country's strengths [the giant walls, the maneuver gear], while still maintaining self-awareness and being able to revert back to human form for covert infiltration.

Eren's father was a scientist working on the aberrant titan project. He may or may not have been Eren's true father, but at some point he could no longer continue working on the project, and so he took Eren and escaped to the other country. Why hasn't he told anyone about this? It would be too easy for him to get mired in politics and become just a pawn to the country's elite, so he works on a titan counter-measure in secret. Unfortunately, the other aberrants have reached maturity and they are deployed before he can finish, likely to keep him from finishing.

That, to me, makes the most sense.

"It was like getting your body and whole body shaken repeatedly; super exciting! I can't wait to watch it again." (Mari Shimazaki, character designer for Bayonetta)

"It's old-school but at the same time refreshing; non-stop sexy violence from beginning to end. This show will raise the far for intensity in anime." (Redjuice, artist)

"It was just 24 minutes long, but I was completely overwhelmed. I don't have one single complaint! Oh, and Ryuuko was much cuter than I expected."

"Nothing about it was half-assed; animation and heat were full-force from beginning to end. Everything was super cool."

"Everyone NEEDS to watch this when it comes out in TV next week."

Heard about Hunter moving to another night.  As long as it doesn't get abruptly canceled I don't mind.  Seeing the chimera arc animated is amazing.  Something like ten years of waiting.

It's like Queen's Blade crossed with Pro Wrestling and shoot matches!  The plot involves two idol singers going to a proresu dojo and fucking around in the ring, pissing off one of the wrestlers.  She beats the shit out of one of them, Bob Holly style, then the main character challenges her to a real match.  Lots of wrasslin' holds means lots of perverted angles and screaming in pain and you see where this is going.

is the yatterman remake worth watching? here where i live the show as an history as one of the many 80' anime's transmitted when anime was still a new shiny thing aimed at kids so i was sort of curious about the remake and then promptly forgot about it

brehs, is Saint Seiya Omega good?

edit: looking for a new anime that isnt Attack on Titan, no faggy shit pls

I would watch Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas before Omega (never seen the original - want to but its not streamed anywhere that I know). Anyway, I found the episodes 25-50 of Omega much better than 1-25 (I also recall reading that 25-50 is a repeat of a similar arc in the original show). As a whole Omega isn't too bad but Saint Seiya's whole shtick of beating up the main characters for 18 minutes only to have them win with one attack wore really thin by the 12th time or so I saw it.

The arc after 50 looks good. I watched about 10 more episodes and stopped figuring I'll catch up when the arc is over.

the original saint seiya is another in the long list of "80' anime they did here when i was a kid" only here it's called "knights of the zodiac" heck in fact the italian version is on youtube to my not-surprise :heh

i don't think they ever went over that bit where they fight the gold knights or whatever,it's a fighting manga like all other fighting manga only that it's older than jesus

one anime that had a very long run here was called tsurikichi sanpei,it's an anime about this amazing fisherman boy... how it ends is a mystery,i've searched for info on the internet but even the internet doesn't know

(http://floppy.ilcannocchiale.it/mediamanager/sys.user/12699/Sampei14.jpg)
(http://www.animeclick.it/prove/serie/Sampei/Sampei12.jpg)

the stories were all stupid too like how he had to learn this hand movement so that he could attract this giant carp and stuff like that

captain tsubasa is popular here too,in fact even today they still do captain tsubasa on tv,not to mention it has been often subject of parody for how overdrawn and exagerated the episode are (there is even a song that declares that "their soccer field is long 20km" :lol)

I like that Ramba Ral is a gunpla enthusiast.  I might have that same gundam wing model in my garage.

also learned from the gaf thread that there's a Gundam remake-of-sorts coming next year.  Gundam The Origin is a manga adaptation of the anime, and this will be an anime adaptation of the manga.

The Origin might be an OVA, might be a movie series, might be a TV show. No one knows what the hell it's going to be. Tomino's also got a new show coming next year called G's Reconquista, which is for the 35th anniversary of Gundam apparently.

Kill La Kill, the newest anime by the creative minds behind over the top mecha hit Gurren Lagann, is all about a girl searching for the person who killed her father. To do this she has a giant scissor-blade and a transforming school uniform. That's where things get troubling.

In the series' lore, she slits her wrist to transform because the living uniform feeds on her blood. Thus the time limit for her transformation is until she passes out due to blood loss.

That explanation, however, doesn't change the fact that slitting one's wrists is one of the most common ways to attempt suicide (or at the very least self-mutilation) and the anime purposely evokes that image. This is all the more shocking considering that, according to the latest reported figures, Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world—21.7 suicides per 100,000 people. (For comparison, the last measured US suicide rate is only 12 suicides per 100,000 people.)

Yes, Kill la Kill is an action-comedy and of course, it is far from the only popular Japanese property to use suicidal images for shock value—Persona 3 and it's pistol-like evokers comes to mind, for example. But just because it's been done before doesn't make it any less disturbing when you remember that, by associating the images with awesome, action packed fights, Kill la Kill is basically making slitting your wrist seem like a “cool” thing to do. And I admit, that worries me a bit.

I'll let you have one guess as to which site this came from.

Wow, way to basically ruin all the actual character development from 1.11 and 2.22. Shinji was actually growing a backbone, but now he just does whatever he's told. And you know, if people actually bothered to tell him what's going on, he might not be such a massive fuck up.

Brave 10 finally helped me understand anime. I always though the "protecting someone" angle was weird. I mean, I'm all for protecting loved ones but anime's obsession with it was just plain odd. Its the driving force behind like 80% of anime I've seen. Anyway, Brave 10 taught me it all goes back to that samurai code and sacrificing yourself for your lord. It feels nice to finally "get" it even if I still think its kind of dumb

I watched a BD-rip of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie. Still a badass movie, especially the Chun-Li/Vega fight and Ken & Ryu fighting M. Bison.

It still holds up, yeah.  Definitely the best Street Fighter animation and one of the better video game anime out there.  The Fatal Fury movie wasn't bad either, but to me that's kind of unfair since they made a completely new story and didn't have to work within the constraints of making something out of the game's story.  Although the two OVAs based on the games weren't bad either.

the two moments that sold me on it:
-the two girls wondering why there's a giant magic gunpla machine in the gym, then talking about how weird it is for a cool dude like Yuuki to play with toys.
-Ral explaining the magic particles interacting with gunpla plastic to make them alive, then the girl brushing him off with "who is this old man"

show is so good

This thread is just about KLK and Gunpla, so lets discuss the other fine shows this season:

YowaPedal is about biking.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel is fully CG. It has moe submarines.

I like both a lot especially Arpeggio because of it's soundtrack,which everyone should watch so they can listen and experience moe subs.

Post by: magus on October 25, 2013, 04:36:00 PM
so searching for random anime,i discovered this thing called sasami-san@ganbaranai and i'm surprised nobody ever suggested it,the plot focus on this shut-in girl called sasami who lack complete motivation to do anything so she just order her brother (who's a total dumb ass and also completly devote to his sister,also for some reason he has his face always covered by a bag) around even for small thing like eating and bathing... the rest of the cast is completed by a trio of sisters who work in the same school as sasami brother,there is a fiery loud one,a lazy calm one and lastly an airheaded dumb blonde and most of the humor come from the sister's just being a bother to sasami

the episode's always start out normaly but the gimmick is that sasami is actualy god or well she was... for some reason her godly power have been transfered to her brother so now everything her brother wish ends up altering the world which make for some pretty "what the fuck?" fantasy scenario,for example the first episode ends
spoiler (click to show/hide)
with the world getting attacked by giant chocolate monster simply because her brother wished for valentine chocolate
[close]

so it has the same premise of haruhi but since the scenario itself are more crazy than "everybody goes playing baseball and they use their power to hit the ball really hard" it's actually fun to watch (that reminds me... do we even have any haruhi fan here on the bore?)

oh also this is drawn by the same artist that's working on the dusk atelier trilogy,you can really see his style in the drawing

on episode 10 they introduce a bunch of villains and it's pretty fucking clear they have absolutely no place there other than providing the climax for the final episode,that feel really weak and half-assed,the whole thing should have finished with her mommy issues resolved

Miura is starting a new miniseries:
Quote
(http://skullknight.net/images/gigantomachia-crop.jpg)
Gigantomakhia is Kentarou Miura's new 6-part miniseries, set in a world 100 million years in the future.

The title is a Greek phrase meaning Battle of Giants. It refers to the mythical war between the gods of Olympus and rebelling giants. For a much more rich exploration of Gigantomachia across the ages, check here.

According to an ad in the Nov. 8 issue of Young Animal, Gigantomakhia will run for 6 issues, likely ending in February 2014, with Berserk set to resume afterward.

The first episode will be 44 pages, with one color page.

We'll know a lot more about the series once we get closer to its release, so stay tuned here!

Nope, I heard they were going to do theatrical screenings and then bundle the first two episodes together at retail.

Remember when I told you guys that you should be watching Samurai Flamenco?

If you can make it that far without being spoiled on what happens, it will blow your pants right off, probably put a hole through the wall. JAW DROPPING INSANE.

i've been reading katekyo hitman reborn... it's a comedy manga about your average loser guy whose life get turned upside-down after he meets a diverse cast of colorfull criminal character but i heard somewhere in the middle for some reason it switches to a full fight manga which is pretty weird... i wouldn't usualy read something that's 400 chapter but since getting an android phone i've found it pretty easy to just pick it up and read when i have nothing to do and ehy this has like an actual ending,truly a miracle for anything shonen like :heh

Spot on. The Rings Tournament arc was great. Personally, I really enjoyed Hitman's progression from a comedy into an action series. Just as I was getting bored of the school yard stuff they changed it up and the manga got better. Everything up to the end of the Rings Tournament is great. I could never finish the future arc though. Its amazing how quickly it went to shit after the Xanxus fight. They even introduced animal companions :yuck

going to quote myself here but after the first hilarious chapter,it's kinda slowly spoiling itself and i think i can kinda start to smell the stank... the cast is now huge,the titular megane-chan. Easily what made the manga so funny in the first place barely appears anymore and there are more stories about friendship this and friendship that than actual gags,it's becoming more saccarine than a cartoon for kids

I read the second volume of Wolfsmund and now I'm certain I'm on a watchlist. 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
ha ha just kidding.  snowden shows that we're all on watchlists for everything we do
[close]

The premise is simple.  Lawful Evil dude controls the one pass between a horrible totalitarian country and a more lenient one.  People try to go from one to the other and LEd stops them and kills everyone and tortures them.  The first volume was just the guy using his wits against people who didn't have legitimate papers and then punishing them.  the art is great and the storytelling is good so I was interested in the second volume.

The second volume involves people stripping a 12 year old girl and shoving metal instruments into her vagina while her mom looks on.  this stuff happens on panel and i felt quite gross reading it.  I don't know if i'll buy the 3rd volume (i don't know if i'll even keep the first two in my house because yuck).  Lots of rape and sodomy in this series and it seemingly came out of nowhere.

that the manga-ka is female makes this even weirder

Beverly Hills, Calif., December 12, 2013—Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) announced today it will make available the complete first 12 episode season of Polygon Pictures’ hotly anticipated anime series “Knights of Sidonia” in all Netflix territories in Summer of 2014.

Based on the best-selling manga series by Tsutomu Nihei, published in Japan by Kodansha and in English by Vertical, “Knights of Sidonia” follows the struggle of humans to survive against the monstrous alien “Gauna” using mecha weapons called ”Garde” (Guardian Robots).

The story focuses on the ship Sidonia and young Garde pilot Nagate Tanikaze as he uses his amazing combat skills to protect what remains of human civilization.

“Netflix has a huge base of anime fans and we are thrilled to be bringing exclusively for the first time them a first-run anime series, especially one as well-plotted, humorous and beautifully animated as Knights of Sidonia,” said Erik Barmack, VP, Independent Content at Netflix.

“We are ecstatic at the opportunity to run 'Knights of Sidonia' firstly and exclusively on Netflix. This is an epochal deal, as we are able to deliver our beloved anime property to a wider audience in direct and timely fashion, than ever before,” said Shuzo John Shiota, CEO of Polygon.

“Knights of Sidonia” is produced by Tokyo-based Polygon Pictures, winner of multiple Daytime Emmy Awards for Hasbro’s television series “Transformers Prime” and the animators behind “Tron: Uprising” and several episodes of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” The series is directed by Kobun Shizuno, who worked on “GI Joe,” the animated series and co-directed by Hiroyuki Seshita, a veteran of the “Final Fantasy” video game series.

“Knights of Sidonia” will be available on Netflix in Japanese with the choice of subtitles or dubbed local language dialogue.

kongoh banchou it's the name and the plot goes like he has to defeat 23 other banchou's and they all have silly theme's like "buddha banchou" or "sword banchou" or "coward banchou" and in a perfect world there would be a capcom game based on it

finished reading kongoh banchou,it was a good read especialy because at 110 something chapter it was long enough to stick but not long enough to drag... some of the arc felt somewhat stereotypical (one of them features a robot banchou who wonders what it's like being human and has flashback and wonders about the meaning of death and... (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EmergentHuman)) but overall it was all so grossly exagerated and fast paced that it still was enjoyable,the ending in particular is ridiculous

the villain and the hero grows as big as building because they are some sort of super alien race then the hero punches the villain so hard he actualy does a full planet rotation then their fight causes the earth core to meltdown and apparently the only way to stop it it's to punch it really hard because i don't know

one particular mention goes to "coward banchou" which the scanlator nicknamed as gay batman,gay batman seems like a pretty good fit because not only his mask really looks like the batman mask but everything always seems to go his way even when it sounds incredibly stupid a-la shark spray,like maybe "deus ex machina banchou" would have been a good fit too... in fact everytime a character is killed off screen 5 page later, it always turns out it was actualy saved by gay batman at the last minute

best favourite stupid moment

I did my every year or two check to see if any of the manga I used to read a decade ago had finished and if so, to finish them.

Finished Gantz - I would say that it was terrible, but considering that it had been terrible for a while and seemed like it had no idea what the fuck it was doing (I really think the author had a good concept for a series when he started, but had no idea beyond that where he wanted the plot to go or the explanations for anything), it was entertaining dumb shit.  Its biggest disappointment just being how by the books Hollywood ending it was.  The first half of the series was pretty cool!  Weird sci-fi mystery story with intense action and high stakes.  The introduction of the Osaka team was good too.  But then the
spoiler (click to show/hide)
oh hey, Kurono's brother is part of a SECRET VAMPIRE SOCIETY, and then two Kurono's thing that never went anywhere, and the whole endgame earth invasion and then dumb explanations along with underdeveloped everyone was pretty terrible
[close]
  Not really worth a read, but I enjoyed it back in the day and I always liked that a chapter was only a 60 second time commitment since it was 80% action, 15% boobs and 5% dialogue.

and Soul Eater - Which was alright.  The last arc was fairly predictable teenage shounen, with friendship and love and self-sacrifice and all that stuff.  But the art was consistent and nice, the characters likeable, and the tone of comedy + action + drama always hit the right spot.  It's a B-tier manga in the end, but at least it never really got "bad" like a lot of manga do.  It had a couple of high points, but was just generally solid and enjoyable throughout, and can't blame 'em too much for that.

Also xxxHolic - Yeah, there's a sequel series running now, but while I really liked xxxHolic for a while and its "supernatural tale of the day", the main plot moved really slow and in the last couple of volumes absolutely nothing happened and it should have ended far earlier.  Basically CLAMP was good at a time with stuff like X and Chobits and Clover, when they were telling short concise stories, but with xxxHolic & Tsubasa they realized they could retire if they just made series that go on forever and nothing really happens and they never end, so I'm done with CLAMP finally. 


Now hopefully by this time next year Bleach & Naruto and maybe Hunter x Hunter will have finished and I'll catch up and finish those guys.  Looking forward to Bleach finishing so I can skim the rest of it for the lolz.  After those end, about the only manga that'll still be running since my college anime/manga days will be Berserk, but I'll try that again in 10 years and maybe there'll be some progress.

Yup, they reveal everything. They break it down pretty far. Metaphysical nonsense included.

I quit early on (before the "Vampires"* appeared) and later went back to inhale everything I've missed. Boy... :neogaf Thankfully it's as Bebpo says, you can "read" these like a flipbook. When there is a lot of dialogue it's usually shite. You're better off skimming or outright skipping it anyway.

Super high tech alien race (aliens A) from another universe almost gets their planet taken over by super warlike alien race (aliens B) who are looking for a new planet to migrate to after their universe is destroyed.  Aliens A then see that Aliens B are set to try the same thing on earth and for no real reason at all other than because they probably don't like Aliens B and want to fuck them over, Aliens A sends advance sci-fi tech (Gantz) through signals from space which is picked up by German rich person who makes the balls and sells them to the world governments and gets rich and the governments add the scoring system and all the game-like systems in and start using it to take out other aliens from all around the universe that had been migrating to earth over the past 30 years as practice to build up experience to then take on Aliens B when they invade the earth in the final arc.  In the end after Aliens B murder like half the planet, Gantz heroes blow up their army on Alien B's migratory planet ship, Aliens B try to self-destruct and suicide take out earth but they fuck up and just blow themselves up while Gantz heroes fall down to earth in their space bikes and land in the ocean and then run out to meet their ladies who've been wearing no pants for 3 days.

Oh and they meet Alien A in a white room and he answers questions and tells them there is no god and people cry and then tells people they are like ants, just objects and the soul is data and tries to show it by reviving all the dead people from the series who are important and then blows them all up.  Kurono clone gets pissed and tries to attack Alien A but is instantly exploded into a burst of goo and that's how they got back down to one Kuruno.

holy shit, this is the first time i've seen a pure digital anime has the... I don't know, grit, of old school anime. I prefer how cel anime had certain tones and values and softness to their animation. Digital animation always looks so...I don't know, bright? The lines are usually too sharp and the characters are often flat.

I mean, Gundam 00 looks GREAT. But something always feels off about modern visual aesthetic to me. There are few exceptions like Kill La Kill. I don't know, maybe it's notalgia? But I don't think it is.

No way am I being nostalgic looking at it objectively. In GUndam Wing's intro you see all of this high detailed art for stuff like sticks and mechanisms and in Gundam 00 any time there's an interior shot it's low detail usual boring digital.

I think part of it is that digital animation has made things so much easier, and made it easier to keep going back and smoothing out every little inconsistency, and inspiration and talent and passion has been completely bled out of the anime industry that it's all just becoming a flat, homogeneous lump.

But there's still Kill la Kill:

One of the best animated intros of all time.

The detail paid attention to the gear (car interior, car exterior, headlights). :rejoice

The way the hair blows in the wind at 0:23 :rejoice It actually animates like actual hair.

1:04 - 1:10 is one of the most technically impressive and just out right passionate shots in an anime, and it's just a shot of two women looking at an airplane.

Franken Fran

collection of horror stories about this frankenstein monster like girl who's actualy a mad doctor/surgeon that love to experiment on people "FOR SCIENCEEEEEEEEEE",the stories are all pretty varied,some of them have a moral,some of them are just plain gross and some of them are even played for dark comedy (most of the stories have horrible ending caused by fran air-headness like the one that ends with her basicaly creating pedobear) so it's a really good read as long as you aren't too squicky and especialy recomended if you are into stuff like junji ito manga

some examples

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the grossiest one i came so far is the one where fran come with a new method for pregnancy where the mother just leave the baby in an insect-like pupa,this method get stolen by another doctor who suddenly become famous but then it starts backfiring on patient when they realize that the pupa is a delicious target for cockroaches and other assorted bugs

there is one where fran help's a guy become a super hero and he goes fighting this evil association,but then it turns out that the evil association was actualy helping people because you see,man is the ultimate evil so helping humanity grow is the best way to destroy the world so the hero goes rogue and decide to turn into a terrorist instead

Been watching Kill La Kill recently and well the show is gold. While I wish it didn't have the same old pervert father joke like every episode and as much fan service that's hardly enough to keep it down, plus I like some fan service.

The show is just fun. Every scene is a joy to look at and the direction never bores. It just feels like a labor of love as every scene has some detail thats just there to entertain. Like there are a few scenes where there is just some random violence in the frame that's comedic and the show never highlights. Thats awesome. The show looks awesome. The action scenes are pretty amazing.

Yet some of the reviews from fans leave me confused. They talk about the lack of story and complexity. What? Why does Kill La Kill need a complex story? Its an action anime, it's story dosen't need to be complex. It needs to provide a reason for the things happening and entertaining characters which Kill does pretty perfectly. Plus there is a story and theme. It's about a headstrong character who has to stay true to herself and path who wants to find out what happen to her father. I mean everything in the show basically supports that theme and premise.

Then there are complaints that it's been predicable, episodic, and formulaic. So? It's an action show that set up clearly the rules of the world and game. Did you not expect her to have to fight some special underlings and then the bossess and then the main boss? I mean I want to see that since the elite four are cool and beaming with personality. Actually this shows pacing has been pretty awesome and nothings been boring are felt like filler. Maybe the episode with school traps, but that was one of the funnier episodes. Really most of the episodes have moved to the plot and we got to the elite four pretty fast.

Yeah I don't get the critiques I've seen. The show is pretty great.

decided to watch akira since it's a pretty famous anime... it was okay,the animation was awesome and the cyberpunk setting pretty cool but the plot was sort of stupid and lacked any sort of direction,the things ends and there isn't even like an actual reason for how it ends,not even the usual bullshit about the power of friendship and the like,it just ends

think i'm going to watch kill la kill next,i loved gurren lagan back in the days and the only reason i haven't bothered with it is because i hate watching series that are still running but now it's over so....

Akira compressed a LOT of material into the film. The manga consists of six fat volumes without much filler. Then again, I don't really remember if it makes more sense than the movie or not. :neogaf

Post by: Rahxephon91 on December 30, 2013, 09:00:45 PM
What do you mean there's no reason for how it ends? Tetsuo couldn't control his power just like Akira before him and basically unleashes it on Tokyo. Keneda is saved  by the other psychics and Tetsu leaves the physical realm leaving Keneda and crew to rebuild.

There really is'nt the power of friendship. Tetsuo was picked on and angry. If anything he was jealous of Keneda. He Got powers and lashed out against the world, which was perfect timing because of all the political unrest.

The manga has a lot more stuff as Akira actually gets arrived and teams up with Tetsuo to rule and damaged Tokyo. The US government gets involved and whatnot, but I believe the movie is better.

it doesn't feel like there is an actual resolution,there is somewhat of a fight but it happens somewhere at the 75% of the movie and it's not the actual ending,the psychic save kaneda but how? and from what? and then tetsuo become so powerfull he leaves the physical realm... wha? how does that work? and he gets inside this tiny light of ball that is... what the heck is it?

evil government vs rebels is like a pretty big part of the plot but the story end and the city just blow so it feels like there is no proper ending to that too

As already noted, Akira takes a huge amount of manga material and tries to fit a bunch of it into a movie.  I mean, just think about it...titular character AKIRA himself has no real role in the movie!   :lol

The film had amazing animation for 1989 and some cool music.  When it was brought out in English shortly after its Japanese release, people were wowed by how it looked and that a cartoon could be all "mature" and violent.  It was the first anime actually presented as "anime" in the U.S., from what I remember.  Stuff that had been on TV before like Speed Racer and Robotech was not looked at or presented that way.

And I don't care if the script isn't as good- the best way to watch Akira is to watch the original 1989 dub.  I need Leonardo from the Ninja Turtles/Liquid Snake from MGS (Cam Clarke) as Kaneda, dammit!

It looks really good so there's that.

It is a family drama and I've never liked that kind of anime. The thing is I really dislike the family and espically the main female girl who drags the main guy into a really annoying situation all for her and yet she never stops being too bosy. And then the world basically comes falling down and the family has to unite and accept it's black sheep to save it. It couldn't just be a family drama, it had to bring in this sci-fi plot as well and I just didn't like it. And the grandmother is another of those perfect grandmothers who's all wise and all knowing, just not very compelling. 

Again, this is a very well loved movie though so don't take my word for it.

yup yup same here same here

other anime mtv has done on tv

Trigun
Cowboy bebop
Excel saga
Master mosquiton (it's about this girl who awaken this ancient vampire who becomes crazy powerfull everytime he drinks women blood,it's another somewhat perverted anime)
Evangelion
Karekano (his and her circumstances)
Aika (i think this is the oldest most fanservicey anime i know... it's about this super female spy that has to take this evil organization that it's made up all of anime girls,somehow the camera is always low enough to show the panties of everybody :-[)
GTO
Full metal panic (both the original series and fumoffu)
Inuyasha
Orphen
Abenobashi
Full Metal Alchemist (both the old and the new anime series)
Beck
Nana
Death Note
Michiko & Hatchin
Nabari
Black Lagoon

MTV has stopped transmitting anime but there is another channel here that still transmit anime,even though it's at a pretty late time slot... the last anime they were doing was psycho-pass... otherwise they always do dragon ball non stop to the point it has become some sort of plague,but once in a while they switch it for either lupin the 3rd,one piece or naruto

one interessing thing about the italian version of excel saga,since nabeshin goes dressed as lupin they decided to hire lupin VA for nabeshin

-Galaxy Express 999

Man, Armitage III was fab. I also remember Bubblegum Crisis fondly. And then there was the nihilistic nightmare that is MD Geist. Everything goes to hell in that.

I think I attempted to count the panty shots in Aika, becuase it was just ridiculous to me even then.

I still have a bunch of VHS tapes somewhere I recorded late at night when these used to air. Fun times.

In the first one, instead of deactivating the robot death machines, he unleashes them so he can have something to fight (I think?). Then in the second, he discovers some paradise city that can stay invisible to the machines somehow. They have their own guardian super soldier who, unlike Geist, doesn't heal on his own or needs regular treatment or something. Also, he's not a psychopathic murderer. Geist ends up killing him and leading the army of killer robots to this last bastion of civilization.

Plex, bro. Download your animes to a PC, stream them to your phone.

But...uhh...I'm pretty sure Chrome does support Flash?

Android used to be the land of the free allowing all sorts of liberties including support for Adobe Flash, but since Android 4.1 Jelly Bean launched in June 2012, Adobe itself stopped developing Flash for mobile and the out-of-the-box support for the technology disappeared. The door for Flash remained opened until 4.3, though, as the AOSP Android browser shipping on every smartphone still supported Flash. Mobile Chrome did not play nice with it, but browsers such as Dolphin and Puffin (but really many others as well) filled in the gap and playing back Flash remained something that one could enable relatively easily.

With Android 4.4 KitKat (and all future versions for that matter), Google moves to Chromium for its WebView and this means Android now no longer supports Flash at all.

saddest part is the death of jokes like this one :'(

EDIT: huh apparently there is a modified flash player apk that work even on kitkat 4.4 so you can give the middle finger to google,so problem solved i guess

I think I attempted to count the panty shots in Aika, becuase it was just ridiculous to me even then.



One of those shows, either AIka or Najica (which are basically the same thing from the same pervy director), actually had a panty counter on its DVD release.   :lol  Never got what the deal with that director was and white PANTSU~.  Every show had the same boring underwear on everyone.  At least have some variety!

Gotta admit, I did like how commited they were to the concept. It could only be topped if someone made a legitimate movie, with all the bells and whistles and a good plot and everything, but only strapped a tiny camera to the inner thigh of the actresses. Pointing up, of course.

But I guess that would go against the spirit of it since you're not "catching a peek" any more.

Attack on Titan seems right up my alley, and it has really good user ratings. Will see how this goes.

The only bad thing about Attack on Titan [other than the frequent use of pans over still images to save money for the really awesome parts], is that it ends without tying up virtually any of the loose ends and the manga is nowhere near finished.

Man, I finished Slayers Try and it was so disappointing after Slayers Next. No character development at all. It was still decent but disappointing.

I'm rewatching Cowboy Bebop to see if I think it's a better anime than FLCL aka BEST ANIMU EVER. The art is pretty ridiculous though. Amazing style, amazing contrast. It's not really a fair comparison with FLCL though cuz FLCL has a very easy going style.
Next is by far the best of the original three Slayers seasons. S1 did the same plot twice basically and after all the goings on of next you know Lina is op as fuck so there's not much of a sense of danger in Try. They're still all great though. CB Vs. FLCL isn't really a fair battle since FLCL is Gainax 100% unhinged and doing whatever the fuck they felt like basically (I have the versions of the DVDs that came with fat interview booklets and the staff involved noted that there's a robot in the show cause they felt like it, Haruko is playing the bass she's playing cause it's a rare one they think is fucking cool looking, etc) and Bebop is a really well done full length series. Most 26 ep sets have some blatant shitty filler but none of CB feels like a waste of time to me.

And in case you're wondering, the show is not only exactly the kind of trash you'd expect from a show with the word "sister" in the title, but in fact it's even worse because of the inclusion of ghost rape. Yes, the titular imouto of the series gets raped by a (female) ghost. For important plot reasons, totally. David Cage just wishes he'd thought of this.

Beyond the Boundary had a really good first four episodes. The guy and girl had good chemistry, it was a nice short arc, good action, bland but not terrible setting, reveals were made, sacrifices happened, and an emotional embrace ended a rampage :heart Not bad for a show's opening :-[

Then episode 5 just goes off a cliff and amps up the pervy elements of the show ten fold. And then episode 6 just gets dumber and dumber until... a dance battle :o I guess I'm back on board

Just finished Attack On Titan and now I want to know where the manga starts off as the anime ends. I can't live without my girl Mikasa kicking ass.

EDIT: Also, any news on it being continued as an anime any time soon?

Start at around 33 or 34.

The manga isn't done yet, but I don't think there is enough content for more anime yet. They'll probably wait until it is almost done

They're not going to make a new season until they've got at least 13 episodes worth of content.

shin sekai yori is really cool and it kinda reminds me of haibane renmei in that there is some sort of big mystery... a bit of symbolism,somewhat similiar theme too when you think about it

but i kinda wish it was better paced... there are some episodes that are just exposition and other where nothing interessing happen except for the last 10 minutes,it's even more annoying when they ends the episode with a cliffhanger... "maybe if you guys didn't waste all that time walking around and talking we could have avoided this cliffhanger" is what i often end up thinking

i wanted to get a break from shin sekai yori after in the last episode i watched literaly NOTHING happened so since the reason i was watching it is because this anime blog suggested is as the "best 2013 story" i picked the "best 2013 comedy"

which was this thing here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVJFXUmS1OE

the plot is about this guy who has to spread anime in your generic fantasy world which i tought was a pretty funny premise but i watched the first two episode and there was like 10% amount of anime parodies and 90% of "master-sama :uguu" so i'm not sure what i'm supposed to see here

The writing in Space Dandy continues to be terrible, but at least this time the episode had a modicum of structure. The direction and animation really made it. The Ramen shop section at the end is how the show should have been: a show about interesting aliens and their stories, rather than random ADHD bullshit. I like Meow and his Space Twitter, but I don't think I can stomach Dandy for 26 episodes. Episode 1 was a miss top to bottom, episode 2 is a hit. Still going to give it three more episodes, and if it doesn't hint at any substance as seen in with the Ramen shop owner, I'm dropping it.

Just watched Space Dandy and Kill la Kill back to back.  Both were great and I can't believe there's more than one currently running anime show that I actually like, that hasn't happened since the early 00s.

Knowing Watanabe, the tone for Space Dandy could change directions at the drop of a hat and I kind of like having no idea where it's going to go next episode.  Bebop was pretty light hearted for its first few episodes as well before its multiple tonal shifts.  I'm guessing Dandy will get into some meatier multi-episode arc soon, most likely involving Scarlet who I'm guessing will become a crew member.  That's when we'll see more to Dandy who I refuse to believe is as one-dimensional as some more reactionary people are complaining about.

And yeah, at the end of the first episode it just about got me for a second.  I actually thought for a second that this whole thing was some elaborate troll job and that really was the end of the series and that had me laughing quite a lot up until the teaser for the next episode, and then I laughed some more.

See each character you meet in every new Bebop ep as a means to help flesh the universe that Bebop creates. Episodic story telling isn't for everyone. But it has a part to play in a type of storytelling that Bebop is very good at: creating an in universe with a sense of character and making you give a shit. To be fair, you're probably on Toys in the Attic. Watch out for Jupiter Jazz which may be more your style.

i've actualy read a few manga chapters of nisekoi,it's about this normal average anime guy that has family ties with the yakuza,one day american gangsters decide to invade and pick a fight with the yakuza and ehy! in an incredible coincidence they too have a completely normal average anime gal that has family ties with them,so now the two have to pretend to be a couple so that the yakuza and the gangster don't start fighting each other,this is all complicated by the fact that anime guy has a crush on another girl but of course he can't confess because otherwise the jig would be up

aaaaaaaaaaand i got bored faster than the speed of light,it was the sort of manga where everytime something was going to happen,someone burst into the room and interrupt it so that it doesn't happen,or character just decide to keep their mouth shut,it's the sort of manga that would end in no time if it wasn't for the fact that every single character in it act like an indecisive fuck

Nobunagun is the REAL DEAL. For some reason, it reminds me a lot of a late 90's, early 00's Akiyuki Shinbou series with the way it contrasts colors and mixes in weird, surreal visual touches so much.

Also, people need to watch 3-minute anime series Pupipo. It's really good.

Three episodes in and Yowamushi Pedal is pretty good. It's formulaic like most sport shows probably are but I'm enjoying just how big a nerd the main character is. Gives me hope one day I'll find my secret talent :'(

Edit: I finished the first major race. The show's pacing took a real hit during the race (I took them an episode to go 500 meters :-\) but the writing remained solid. I'm really enjoying it but once I'm caught up I'll have to drop it for a few months. I could never watch such a slow moving show week to week

Blame Onegai Twins. I've ignored incest shows since Onegai Twins, you can too. To me they don't exist. Never have. Filter them from your mind. Your problem is that you watch too much anime and not too much quality anime.

2012 and 2013 were amazing for anime. A complete revival since maybe 2007.

I think it's safe to say that Hunter X Hunter is the best shounen anime airing right now. This Chimera Ant arc is so good. Luckily for me the manga is ugly as fuck, so I'll never feel like jumping ahead and reading that instead.

It's awesome to see people getting into HxH with the new series.  The older series never had the same chance to be popular like this one.  I've really been enjoying it since greed island, since I'm no long unfavorably comparing it to the original, and chimera arc animated is wonderful.  The art quality in the manga fluctuates and from greed island to nearly the end of chimera it's all scribble country.

Been watching Black Lagoon.  Finished the TV series and we're now going through the OVAs.  Awesome show.

Fujiko Mine was great, absolutely, but it didn't start any new trends or end any bad trends. On the other hand, there's, like, four incest shows this season.

Are you kidding me?  That show went to dogshit too.  The stuff centered on Lupin and co. was great- the backstory crap with Fujiko was awful.

I've only watched the original series up to the first Sendo fight. Its funny how so much has happened in the many episodes I didn't watch yet how almost nothing has changed. I took a look to see where the manga is over the weekend... good lord over 1000 chapters. Ippo must world champ by now, right? Tell me what chapter I need to read where he finally smacks that Miyata down

i was browsing comedy manga again and somehow i've ended up reading kinnikuman,for those that don't know it's a really old manga about this goofy alien superhero turned into wrestler who ends up fighting other superhuman in super wrestling matches,i pinned it down (ar ar get it?) as one of those shonen manga that go on forever but it's surprisingly engaging and fast paced enough (if a little cheesy) it also doesn't forget that it's also supposed to be a comedy manga halfway through unlike other similiar comedy manga turning into shonen even if the gag are sort of lame (kinnikuman fight's the horrible toilet man!)

at the same time there is some old school charm that it's really hard to describe,i guess the easiest way to describe would be that the art style is pretty easy to recognize and feels unique

Episode 1 is the worst of the bunch, but let's not kid ourselves and label episode 2 and 3 as anything more than 'pretty good'. 2 has a great second half, but it's still inconsistent. 3 is just mediocre and lowest common denominator. 4 is so far the only episode worth its shit. The show is inconsistent as fuck. I'd say it's definitely best to wait for it to be finished, because watching it week to week is torture since you don't know if it'll be good.

Zero is awesome. Stay/Night is the sequel and the story is awful.

The studio behind Zero is doing it this time so let's hope they can make it watchable.

Fate stay/night is the original story, zero is the prequel... it was originaly a visual novel (that's it, one of those game that's all text and occasional choice that lead to horrible death's) i've read it because it has tons of fans (it even spawned a psp rpg that even got translated) but the whole plot basicaly boils down to super human fighting each other so the whole thing feels like someone describing a fight manga and it's so boring...

...that's without mentioning that there is actual porn on it for no reason other than some sort of obscure law where these sort of games require it,there is one bit where the heroes power down and the only way to power up back again is sexual intercourse obviously and the whole thing is super awkward and really serve no purpouse other than making me feel bad when i talk about it

nah,it's true that it has sex scenes but there aren't a lot of them in the first place (some version of the game don't even have them in the first place) but i think the real reason it's not that far off,there are a lot of female character and they all fill some romance trope one way or the other, just look at this tvtrope page (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere)

the setup is also really cool,the idea of historical figure in disguise duking it out is awesome, unfortunately it happens in the most boring way possible and nothing like... say... christopher columbus duking it out with lu bu ever happens

But isn't it true that the otaku's into the pandering/moe/loli/fanservice shit is what's been killing the anime industry in Japan for over a decade?


Anime market is shrinking -> Let's appeal to the highest spenders left (aka otaku into fanservice) -> More normal people stop watching anime because it the pandering/moe/loli/fanservice is crap they don't want in their shows -> market shrinks -> repeat  step one (welcome to the downward spiral of the last 10 years of anime)


I didn't read the article, but if Miyazaki is basically saying the hardcore creepy otaku fanbase who make 90% of anime worse because it has to appeal to them...sounds like he's right!

Yeah, it's hardly a secret that a some of the older, veteran anime guys are really upset with the modern anime industry. Notably, Miyazaki and Oshii.

Thankfully, at least, we seem to have passed the nadir already, unless current positive trends collapse for some reason.

read all of dragon half, it's about this half-dragon/half-human/half-naked chick called mink who goes on a quest to get this potion that will turn her into a whole human so that she can marry this dragon hating guy who's also a popstar... it's really reminiscent of slayers in that it present itself as a sword & sorcery manga, but everyone act so goofy and dumb (particular mention goes to this minor villain who gets beated up so many times he ends up being reduced to just his head, and he STILL ends up attacking the heroes over and over) that it's more of a comedy manga

unlike slayers it's quite fan-servicey, i don't think there is a single female character that isn't dressed in something that is not a chainmail bikini, mink friend often cop a feel for no reason and it's not uncommon for mink to end in some compromising pose, but it's ok! this is an oldass manga from the 90 when fanservice was still acceptable so you guys can't tell me anything :win

There was a write-up on ANN about this not too long ago, and I think it was basically that in the early days of home video and Laserdisk, prices were really high because they were mainly meant for rental places to buy. But they found that hardcore otaku were willing to pay those high prices anyway. Long story short, they never did come down on the prices the way the US did in order to gain mass-market appeal.

One punch man

oh boy everything about this is amazing! remember when you heard about hancock, tought it was a cool premise and then it became about how will smith couldn't be close to this white chick? not here! this is a proper unheroic hero story and it's sooooooo good, the plot basicaly goes that there is this dumb looking guy called saitama who for some reason (he said it's because he trained hard every day) has become so strong he can literaly defeat everything in a single punch (therefore giving the title to the manga) the city where he lives is perpetualy assaulted by giant monsters and aliens who he keeps defeating without an once of effort, but this has made him grown bored of his life as nothing ever challenge or inspire him anymore

while fighting a giant mosquito monster he ends up meeting this cyborg dude who decide to become his disciple (after boring him for 2 whole page with his origin story), soon after he realize's that all of his heroic effort have always go unnoticed so him and the cyborg dude decide to join the superhero association, but he's forced to start as a rookie hero so nobody still take him seriously anyway

now of course a manga where the hero just come, punch the villain and flies away would be boring but somehow this pulls it off, saitama is hilarious in the way he gives absolutely no fuck (a gag often used his him defeating a villain before the villain can end his introduction speech :lol) and there are a lot of others characters that often drags the fight before saitama can finish it,all of them are also incredibly stupid like watch dog man (who's just a guy dressed in a dog suit) and metal bat (who's just a guy in a pompadour and a baseball bat) or just plain cool (like the cyborg dude)

the art is incredible and done by the guy who drew eyeshield 21 (a popular football manga) in fact you probably have seen some of these gif

(http://samandrob.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/e66253b77379c92527e254c294e244c71362610434_full.gif)

but the real hilarious part is that the eyeshield 21 artist isn't the actual author,no... the actual author is this average dude who goes by the alias of ONE which drew it as a webcomic but his art is super shitty, seeing the two version side by side is often more hilarious than the actual gag in the manga's, here are some of the page from the first chapter of both for example :lol

Original Webcomic

Actual Manga

sadly there aren't a lot of chapter's so far,the webcomic version goes further but well beside the awfull art not even that version is completed so you get an unfinished plot no matter what

Like Cowboy Bebop. It's pretty much like a real show, but drawn instead of having real actors. I never really enjoyed it. :yeshrug It's the reason why I haven't seen Monster despite hearing good things. Realistic anime shows bore me, unless there's a lot of comedy.

You're watching the wrong anime, then.

Plot Summary: In another dimension the Devil King Sadao is only one step away from conquering the world when he is beaten by Hero Emilia and forced to drift to the other world: modern-day Tokyo. As "conquering the world" are the only skills the Devil King possesses - and are obviously unnecessary in his new situation - he must work as a freeter to pay for his living expenses.

Tonari no Seki-kun

this is a really funny manga and there is even an ongoing anime version, it's about this pair of students,yokoi is just your average schoolgirl but unfortunately for her she sits next to seki, seki has absolutely no interess in school and instead is a god of goofing off! the king of slacking! the master of time wasting!

so seki often pulls off contraption out of normal stationery just to pass time,the contraption all starts normaly enough but they all quickly spiral into madness, which often ends with yokoi not paying attention to the class as she gets distracted by seki... some of the first chapters (including in the episode of the anime released so far) gizmo include

- erasers to build a complicated domino sequence
- a japanese chess  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi) game turns into a coup d'etat
- a go game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_board_game) quickly turning into a fight between a cartoon bear and a cartoon rabbit

other funny scenario that aren't in the anime include

spoiler (click to show/hide)
- using toy robots to simulate a family evacuating a building
- a game of fukuwarai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuwarai) turning into a story about a family growing apart
- seki "defeating" a bunch of delicious sausage dressed like octopus warriors
- another game of shogi turns into a love drama
- minigolf where the hole are the crack on the table
- a game of othello turns into a simulation of a zombie outbreak
- a toy bear goes mountain climbing with the mountain being the back of the guy seating in front of seki
- seki bring a bunch of sands and decide to play the role of an archeleogist,completed with tiny dinosaur skeleton
- a game of shogi vs chess turns into an ambush scenario which quickly turn into a scenario about vengeful ghost
- building a toy city so that he can get a toy car license
- magnets to represent a baseball game
- one common gag is that seki usualy make up a scenario where he bullies something cute and plays the bad guy which often ends up annoying yokoi so she often ends butting in so that she can play the good guy role
[close]

it's the sort of manga where you have no idea what's going to happen next, each anime episode is only 5 minute long so give it a chance

I'm currently working on a recommendation list that's broken down into different categories and offering links to series/movies, synopsis, and my own personal thoughts on each. I realize I'm putting way more effort into this than will be warranted by the amount of attention it gets, but whatever, it's an excuse to dig through all the old stuff I've watched and try to remember why I liked them. If there's a category or anime that you want me to include, post about it here and I'll see what I can do.

Probably less than 15% of that is anime that I downloaded. The vast majority was watched on DVD or VHS [at one point I had well over 500 anime DVDs in my collection], on TV [I used to watch a lot of Adult Swim and Scifi Channel anime], or through streaming in the past few years [Crunchyroll, Funimation, ect.].

CR is a great value. They basically put out a bid on every new anime series that's offered for streaming, and get a pretty sizable chunk of them. 7 of the 10 new shows this season that I'm watching are on CR, the other 3 are on Funimation.

i've read some of akumetsu, it's about this guy who somehow has found a mask which let him make countless clone of himself so he uses this ability to murder the shit out of corrupt politician and the like, it's kinda reminiscing of death note in the same way that it's about a super powered killer doing murder for good while being chased around by the police but unlike death note there is barely any plot other than "politician are evil" and not a lot of character beside the main character itself... that's not to mention that for some reason the manga often goes into these long winded economy/politic rant that just drags it down even further so i got bored and i stopped reading it

i've also read a bit of sankarea, it's your usual :uguu manga but i was curious about it because in this case the waifu is a zoooooooooooombie, which cause a pretty heavy dissonance, for example here you can see the japanese cover

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/Sankarea_manga_vol_1.jpg)

and this is the american cover instead

unfortunately the premise gets wasted so that they can use the usual romance trope and in fact there is a very little amount of zombism or horror here, so i stopped with this too

There was a write-up on ANN about this not too long ago, and I think it was basically that in the early days of home video and Laserdisk, prices were really high because they were mainly meant for rental places to buy. But they found that hardcore otaku were willing to pay those high prices anyway. Long story short, they never did come down on the prices the way the US did in order to gain mass-market appeal.
This just made me realize that the never-dropping price of Studio Ghibli anime at ¥4500 is actually meant to be an accessible price point for Japanese consumers. :japancry

Japan suffers from Galapagos syndrome, or something like it. Cable never took off here; Broadcast Satellite dishes were more popular than cable delivery. There was never a revolution from brick-and-mortar rental stores to mail-delivery a la Netflix, and while digital PPV had an advertising push last year between Hulu and DMM, I'm not sure how many people actually use them. Most surprisingly, in this land of vending machines, the RedBox model has not appeared yet. I guess I'm saying the video distribution model doesn't really sync up with anything else.

Quote from: Mr. Gundam on February 01, 2014, 06:34:09 PM
I plan on buying a couple Blu-rays in Japan in April, but the prices are so insane that it will just be a one or two (Macross Plus, final volume of Gundam AGE shut up, Gunpla Builders Beginning G) and then I'll blow the rest on games. The Macross F movies are tempting with English subtitles, but not $300 tempting.
We are going to smash OtaRoad. It's not as big or fancy as Akihabara, but it's easier to find things, and I think more fun.

Can you actually rent movies, legally? I know Nintendo lobbied to prohibit that for games, hence the big used games market where pristine copies abound.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Space Dandy's legit status = CONFIRMED
Post by: chronovore on February 09, 2014, 09:49:22 PM
Huh? There's no connection between the Japanese tendency to keep media in good condition and the resale market. LPs and laserdiscs and even VHS tapes can be found in exceedingly well-maintained condition in any used store; Japanese games are just following that form.

Nintendo's effort to ban used game sales was ultimately deemed illegal, IIRC, and games no longer bear the "no resale" label on the case insert.

Movie rentals are common, as are CD rentals, if you can believe it. Even before MP3 ripping and even before CD-R technology becoming commonplace, Japanese rental stores would sell cassette tapes with oddly-specific time lengths, right at the registers, so renters could buy tapes with the least amount of dead space for copying the CDs to cassette.

Huh. So that's just Japan being Japan? I always figured it was to keep the re-sale value high. Cool.

What about game rental though? The Retronauts podcast taught me that's illegal there, unless I'm completely mis-remembering that.

Love the tape thing. I haven't been to a public library in a long time but I believe they have CDs here as well. Movies for sure. I imagine those are being ripped all the time as well.

Who knew?

Public libraries in California, when I was there in 2012, lent music CDs, movie DVDs, and audiobooks on CD and cassette! I didn't see any games, and didn't think to ask. Audiobooks were pretty great, but in the end I just subscribed to Audible because it is the easiest way to have access to my audiobooks on any of my devices.

I'm trying to remember the person who said that anime was not called anime in japan because now that I can read the stuff, that's clearly not true.

Akira's still happening, apparently, and the director's got this to say:

Quote from: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=114669
CS: That's true. It's one of those strange stories where you literally never see the main character that is the namesake of the film!

Collet-Serra: Nobody's interesting. Tetsuo's interesting because weird sh*t happens to him, and Kaneda is so two-dimensional. That's part of the Japanese culture, they never have strong characters. They're used as a way to move the other philosophy forward.

wandering through the comedy section of manga is getting depressing... a lot of these aren't comedy manga as much as they are harem or :uguu titles with really dumb premises...

so the only title worth of attention i've found is called hell kitchen, it's about this demon who spends time in hell eating the souls of chef and spending all time criticizing their work (no,he's not gordon ramsey) but he's unsatisfied with the soul he eats so he suddenly decide that ehy! Since there is no good chef to eat, maybe he should train one from the scratch! So he possess this average dude into becoming the greatest chef ever as they make crazy dishes like cold souffle's and dishes made with potato peels and meet with a bunch of other super obssesed cooks (including a girl obssesed with cooking knife's, a guy fixated on spice's and an idiot who's some sort of super genius)

if you ever read hikaru no go, it's sort of like that except with cooking instead of go... in other news since i'm not getting much out of comedy i tought maybe a change of pace would suit me, so i've started reading vinland saga, it's about vikings murdering and plundering shit so not a single loli in sight but at the same it's not the super violent historical manga i was looking for (the one i was looking for was about knights i think...) and this kinda bothers me

Billy Bat

oh boy i haven't readed something so convoluted and stupid since metal gear solid 2,this is a plot that would make kojima blush and i hate myself because i am so totaly engrossed about it when my brain keeps telling "this is going to end bad and you know it,stop ittttttttttt,stop it now!"

the manga takes place in 1949, kevin yamata is a half-japanese half-american artist and the author of a cartoony hardboiled detective american comic called billy bat when one day he discovers that his work is similiar to a japanese manga so feeling guilty for a possible copyright infrangment he travels back to japan with the military to find the original mangaka, he soon gets framed for the murder of a military officer and chased by several secret organization,as he's escaping he finaly finds the mangaka he was looking for... but ehy! it turns out he's not a normal mangaka... no,you see, he actualy see billy bat for reals and billy bat tells him what to draw and everything he draws in his own billy bat manga happens for real and actualy mirror the famous Shimoyama incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimoyama_incident) soon after kevin starts having visions of billy bat too... meanwhile it turns out that the reason the secret organization are chasing him is because they wanted some scroll he had for a while when he was looking for the mangaka

i'm putting this on a spoiler because really everything after this is so stupid it has to be experienced first hand to actualy be fully appreciated and it actualy happens after the first 20 or so chapters of it,just know that it's the same author as 20th century boys

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the manga then takes a detour,turns out important historical figure like fucking jesus actualy had vision of billy bat,you see judas? yes,he betrayed jesus because billy bat told jesus to instruct judas to do so! the saint francis xavier? yup billy bat made him a saint! remember when japan got all fucked up with all those wars that inspired a bunch of koei videogames? yup,the winner won only because he found billy bat magic scroll, when the man went on the moon? billy bat was there first! billy bat,billy bat,BILLY FUCKING BAT!

after escaping from the secret force 10 years passes and kevin yamata goes hiding into some old-ass western like town where he gets plastered all the day so that he stops having vision of billy bat,why you ask? because billy bats want him to draw... THE FUCKING KENNEDY ASSASINATION, so the manga even goes after following the life story of Lee Harvey Oswald (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Oswald) and how he defected from the U.S to the soviet union and how it actualy was billy bats fault that kennedy got murdered

so are you with me so far? this manga has

- jesus
- ninja's working for ancient japanese warlords
- the kennedy assasination
- somewhere as a small side story there is this segment that's not really important to the overall plot that is about the KKK and marthin luther king and the interracial marriage of a coca-cola executive

but wait here's where it gets fucking weird... as kevin yamata draws the kennedy assasination he returns to japan where he discovers that in his absence the IP of billy bats has been sold and he has been reborned...

from this...

...to this

(http://a.mpcdn.net/manga/p/126/134607/7.jpg)

and the horrible man that transformed billy bat from an hardboiled detective to a goofy prankster?

yes, i'm reading a manga where walt disney is a villain

I've tried reading this but only got a couple of chapters in. After Monster, 20th Century Boy and Pluto I'm kind of done with Urasawa. Not that his stuff is bad, but his brand of drama got annoying with the frequent tear jerkers. For a while, Pluto felt like every chapter had some emotional scene where someone was moved to tears.

to be honest i don't like urasawa too, he really doesn't know how to do endings and he really gets sappy at times... pluto might be the mature inspired version of an astro boy story which might be seen as a kid manga but if you'd read the original you might think the original was the mature one

that said this is a manga where

Vinland Saga

what i read was allright... thorfinn is a viking boy that wants to avenge his father so he joins the viking band of the man who murdered his father and together they happily murder tons of people and leave their footprint in history as he wait for a chance to defeat him in a proper warrior duel

spoiler (click to show/hide)
later in the story,thorfinn fails to get his revenge as his father murder get killed by someone else,so after a bit of soul searching he decide to give up his violent way and basicaly become a cross between guybrush threepwood and jesus... but don't worry there is still plenty of other character to carry murder & war around
[close]

if i had to complain is that it's kind of slow paced... the first 20 chapter or so for example are how about his father gets murdered in the first place

Vagabond

so after reading vinland saga i thought it was a good idea to continue with the historical + manly + people getting murdered theme... vagabond is about the life story of these two nobodies... a spineless bastard called matahachi and a murderous hotblooded guy called takehiko, as the plot goes on and on it turns out that takehiko grows up to be none the less than historical figure Miyamoto Musashi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miyamoto_Musashi) so the plot follows him as he wander around japan fighting sword masters and learning how to become the most kickass swordman ever... like vinland this too is incredibly slow paced but the art is really nice... and like vinland it's a nice change of pace from the usual manga

some part also follows the less fortunate story of his spineless friend who as the plot progress slowly man up...

spoiler (click to show/hide)
until he turns into miyamoto musashi rival Sasaki Kojiro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasaki_Kojir%C5%8D)

So many good scenes in KLK this week.   :lol

Did anyone watch the Bayonetta movie?  I thought it would be something original, but nope- it's an animated version of the first game, right down to the same settings and battles.  Was OK I guess.  Loved the jab at Capcom (Luka says something like "I already had my way with Claire, Trish, Silvia, and Ammy"  :lol ) and the actual usage of Afterburner music.   :)

Anyone else reading Kentaro Miura's new thing, Gigantomakhia? It's - weird. :shaq2

Apparently it's set in the far-flung future, after some kind of apocalypse. A guy, our hero, I would assume, is travelling with some kind of magical girl through the desert. Her bodily fluids have healing properties. After a hard fight, she seems to have pissed on him. The scan I'm reading calls it nectar.. Oh, and the hero is a wrestling gladiator that fights passively and tries not to kill his opponents, i.e. without hatred, as Guts would. How original... That transformation is pretty cool though, I guess...

i've read a bit about of this manga called kurohime which is about this witch which uses magic guns to summon beast so she can fight against gods and ehy... doesn't this kinda sound like bayonetta? i tought there would be some sort of connection but apparently there is none

anyway where bayonetta can always kick ass, kurohime has been cursed and has taken the form of an harmless loli and the only way for her to get back to her normal kickass god slaying form is to feel LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE so it goes like this

- kurohime and this pistol guy travel together
- they end up in a dangerous situation
- pistol guy goes "i'll protect you!"
- kurohime goes :uguu, transform and murders all the bad guy

honestly it got boring after a while so i stopped

anyway i'd like to watch the evangelion movie's but i'm not sure what do i need to know before watching... i've seen some of the episode of the old show, is there a recap movie? should i skip it? this is more or less what i know

spoiler (click to show/hide)
they murder these giant numbered monster until they come to number... 12 i think? then number 13 turns out to be this normal guy who tries to become shinji friend and rei is actualy a clone of shinji mom and gendo is the worst dad ever and i can't even remember how it actual ends

You can watch the new movies [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0] without having any knowledge of the franchise. On the other hand, End of Evangelion basically just replaces episodes 25 and 26, so you'll really be confused if you haven't watched the series up to that point.

I've really enjoyed it from the start and only found out recently it has a poor reputation, which I don't really understand (aside from the fact it's mostly manga purists doing their manga puritanism thing.)

The animation is kinda bleh though. Otherwise it's fantastic, and yes this season has been even better.

so Space Dandy is pretty good

At first I wasn't so sure about the format of the show, but the multiple worlds/strands approach allows them to do things you can't do with a serialized show. Stories can continue to a natural or theoretical end without fear of damaging future plotting.

The first season adapted light novels 1-3.

There are 13 light novels, with a 14th on the way and a sequel series of light novels (Durarara!! SH) in the works. Let that sink in.

I thought the ending was good, especially episode 26 which was pretty much just a fun epilogue (and especially because it introduced Izaya's sisters, who play a huge role in volume #4 which I've been on-again-off-again reading for the past year.) But I've been begging for a second season for years. I can't believe it's finally happening.

Can't wait for Aoba, the Hollywood Killer, the Celty chase, etc. :lawd It's going to be so fucking good.

Yeah I think it was a bonus episode for the home release, like episode 13.

Thankfully I watched the dub on AS which aired all 26 eps. (I previously had seen 12 eps when it was first airing in Japan, but thought that was the whole series. Imagine how *I* felt about the series seemingly ending all of a sudden, haha.)

And now an excerpt from Durarara!! volume 4.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Kururi shushed her sister and took a step towards Aoba, her eyes still fixed on the ground.

She said only two words to the boy who was about the same height as she was.

"I'm indebted... (to you.)"

Raising her face and closing the distance, she covered Aoba's lips with her own.

<Hhhh?>

Aoba's mind turned blank at the incomprehensible situation, and could do nothing but look as Kururi, cheeks flushed, pulled herself away. But the situation was just about to get even more incomprehensible.

As Kururi retreated back behind, Mairu stepped forward as if to take her sister's place and suddenly pulled Aoba into a powerful embrace followed by a deep kiss.

<!? !? !? !?>

The female and male roles looked decidedly reversed - an impression not helped at all by Aoba's rather childlike facial features. Aoba's mind was again reduced to a state of blankness; as he stared at Mairu, however, the latter had already resumed her chirping without even blushing.

"Yay I did it! Indirect kiss with Kuru! Heehee!"

She let go of Aoba and continued in a tone as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry! It's a little surprising to be treated like this by girls who aren't even your girlfriend, isn't it! But don't be fooled by Kuru's looks, she's actually even more aggressive than I am!"

"That's... not true..."

I mean you got a fresh looking Gundam show coming, the end of Unicorn, Origin, Kill La Kill, another new Watanabe show, Takashi Koike has a Lupin movie coming, and so in. It's pretty good days.

Meh. There is less for me to watch, despise Kill la Kill, not going to watch Gundam build, ever. Loving Space Dandy though, but I need more shows like it and Hozuki no Reitetsu. Basically watching the former, Space Dandy, Seitokai Yakuindomo, Gin no Saji and Noragami. I know Natsume has a thing again soon, Bakemonogatari will be back and xxxHolic will have to eventually end off like the manga so at least I have the folktale stuff covered, but it's been barren Sci Fi side :/

Finally got around to finishing the last two Hellsing OAV eps.

Eh, was alright.  It's competent and entertaining, but the fights were really stupid and not that satisfying.  The bad guys had the annoying trope of "everything according to our plans!" and even when the protags win it seems like the bad guys let them which isn't particularly satisfying.  Best part was still that 4th(?) ep on the Naval boat where Alucard flies a plane into the deck and then fucks shit up.  See, Alucard is a great character, it's just that the manga/tv show/OAV didn't seem to know what to do with him past a certain point because he was too badass and ultimate powered.  The explanation for:

Alucard was so stupidly overpowered that I kinda felt like such a BS thing was the only way to really beat him. Besides, they did at least plan it out by having him assume that form, making him vulnerable. I'm also glad that Schro wasn't just a throwaway character but that he actually played into things. I dunno.

I don't even remember how the Major died so you're right in that it probably wasn't the most satisfying ending. But everything up until that was fantastic I feel.

Walter's betrayal made no sense to me but it led to a pretty badass fight that called back to Hellsing: The Dawn with Girlycard and whatnot.

It's somewhat hard to really criticize Hellsing because it really is the ultimate style > substance property, but goddamn if it doesn't pull that style off well. One of my all time favorite mangas.

i'm liking kill la kill, it's full of action, it's goofy, it's full of hot bloodness and it keeps me engaged, it's kinda like a go nagai super long movie

however i think it kinda relies on anime trope a little bit too much, i've lost count of how many times someone get defeated (both ryuko and the evil guys) just to return stronger less than 10 minutes later, everytime i have to see kiryuin perched from high delivering a speech gimmick i want to bang my head on the wall and there are part where it's so desperate to cling to trope's that it borders on parody

spoiler (click to show/hide)
"nani sore" has a flashback because we'll be damned if everybody here doesn't have any flashback and it's about kindergartner talking about owning the world... i was sad that they run out of character because i wanted to see kiryuin climb a cradle and from the top of the cradle declare how pacifer represent human decadence...

then she goes like "this music is missing something" and i'm like... "WAIT! STOP! I KNOW! ...... THE SOUND OF YOUR SCREAM?" ......

"THE SOUND OF YOUR SCREAM!"

i think they too realized how goofy is it because joke about how dumb certain character act or should act are common, and yet some other trope are completly played straight, it causes a weird disconnect were some part feel really smart and some part feel really dumb
[close]

but don't think this is a complain, i like it, it's part of the charm, in fact i'd say those are the best moment

mmm what else, i don't particular care about mako, it's fun how she interrupt serious moment just so that she can blabber randomly about love and friendship for several minutes straight but otherwise she doesn't do much for me

if i think there is a problem it's that it's too goofy to beat gurren lagann over the top action, and it's too serious to beat all of the dumb that was in panty & stocking

WHY DOES EVERY ANIME HAVE A LITTLE SISTER ROMANCE OR SOMETHING THEREOF

Fuck you Japan. So busy working you can't imagine up a relationship with any girl you didn't get born next to.

Watching Log Horizon because I hate myself. I thought it would be free of that, but it even pulls the adult woman looking like a little girl for no reason other than that's the character model they went with.

Completely forgot about AGE. I liked it at the start, but when they introduced the 3rd character, the Gundam designs went to shit and I stopped watching after 2-3 episodes. That's a dumbass reason not to watch another show, btw.

Gundam is all about mech design and cool fights for me. Everything else is extra.

Please. Exia and some of the others are ok, but not the best. If you're just going to base this on best mech designs and nothing else you gotta give it to 0083. The show is pretty bad, but jesus does it look fantastic. The animation and the visual design in 0083 is ace. The mechs all look great in the show and thier actual designs look really cutting edge.

Post by: Rahxephon91 on March 26, 2014, 02:11:39 PM
AGE is shit.

Awful pacing. Awful underdeveloped characters like the 2nd lead who's father problems are brought up and then quickly cut off as we have to rush into the next battle and then the episode ends, not resolving the character issues. Doesn't matter, the character becomes shit anyway when in the most illogical way he becomes a pirate. Since female characters in this show are universally terrible and only serve to be babymakers or guilt trips, his wife of course dosen't care. Also I hope you remember his friendship with other generic bad guy, it was a 5 minute montage. Their far longer lasting rivalry will keep referencing that though. Great pacing! Of course we're spared this with the 3rd lead, who gives Kira Yamato a run for his money in the "most annoying I don't want to kill" Gundam main character category. Of course he dosen't want to kill thanks to the amateurish and extremely hamfisted writing of "HERES A SICK LITTLE GIRL(another guilt trip)". Age you're such a crappy emotional manipulator. Couldn't even execute this trick without appearing like a hack. I guess you'll top this off with the worst villain motive in all of Gundam.

AGE is so bad. It dosen't even have good mech designs to save it. AGE 1 and Wolf's are ok because they are simple. The rest of the AGE units are bland and forgettable, copies of better Gundams. The enemy units are ugly as sin.

Real talk.

AGE is the worst Gundam tv series. And I watched Seed Destiny and 00 s2.

Gundam 00 s1 is the best Gundam tv series.

Gunpla Builders, i went in with hesitation especially after 00 s2 and AGE, but it's really, REALLY good and it's just pure Gundam fanservice.

The BGC hard suits were pretty awesome, and the world was visually aping Blade Runner pretty well, but I can't recall a damned thing about the story.


In other news, I finally saw Summer Wars tonight, 5 years after its release. That was some seriously good stuff. I really dug the different animation styles between the cyber world and real world, and the various characters were very well-realized. Fan-service was also largely limited, which I appreciated as a dad since the heroine is a high school student. Also enjoyed the bilingual pun of the AI's name, "Love Machine."

Likely a better movie than Transcendence will be.

i've been reading this korean manga (which the internet tells me they are called manhwa) called yureka, it's about this trio of people which really likes this MMO called lost saga and how they play it a lot and you know the most amazing thing about it?

- if a player dies in the mmo,he doesn't die in real life, in fact the character in it die several times
- they aren't stuck in the virtual world
- there is no big mystery or drama,it's just a normal MMO

basicaly the MMO premise is just a way to have a fun and silly comedy/fantasy/action manga, like .hack but without the dramatic bullshit and i'm finding it really enjoyable to read as jokes about the game nature of the world are often frequent's and the character are represented as normal people just enjoying a game

well ok i guess i lied a bit in that there is a small mystery, the title yureka is derivate by the fact that one of the player finds some sort of super bot called yureka so while adventuring they also have to figure what makes her special compared to the other bot in the game but surprisingly, it's something that mostly happens in background while the player themselves have fun murdering monster and doing event and the like

I was hoping the Japanese copy would at least have English subtitles; a few of them do, surprisingly; but it was Japanese audio and Japanese subtitles, so I tried to keep up with the language, and mostly vigorously read the subtitles through the whole thing. Probably watch it again with them off, now that I understand what's going on.

Yeah, my whole family watched Wolf Children a couple weeks ago; it was really impressive, and we were torn up by it. It was fascinating to watch the children grow and change.

Great Rumbler's other recommendations, I haven't seen, so I'll line them up!

Man, I have seen Totoro with each kid SO MANY TIMES NOW. I never get sick of it, but it went from emotionally supercharged to unfortunately a little flat for me. It's pretty super though.

The season finale of Space Dandy was terrific

Yeah, definitely one of the best. Great story, even greater animation. Hard to believe that we're due for 13 more episodes of this starting in July.

You watched Secret World of Arrietty yet Chrono? And here's a couple more you might want to queue up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOH8vkhX6Sg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdHsmzdNbT0

Unless the former is actually Japanese, or has had a broad release in Japan, it's unlikely I'll be able to find it.

I've queued up the latter for later viewing; is it safe-for-kids? It looks cute, but with Japan, you never know when panty shots or creepy uncles or whatever are going to appear.

I've seen and enjoyed Arietty. I think I posted about it here; it's under appreciated.

WASHINGTON—Following a comprehensive two-year linguistic survey, a report published Wednesday in the academic journal Language revealed that 58 percent of Japanese speakers worldwide are 23-year-old white men from the United States. “Our findings indicate that a majority of individuals who can fluently speak and comprehend Japanese are actually Caucasian post-collegiate American males, many of whom order in Japanese at sushi restaurants and were one of the few white members of their universities’ Japanese clubs,” read the report in part, which noted that American-born 23-year-old men who taught English for a year in Kobe or Sapporo after graduation currently outnumber all other speakers of the Japanese language, including the entire population of the East Asian island nation and its millions of emigrants living throughout the world. “Though the Japanese dialect was spoken almost exclusively by individuals of Japanese origin until the mid-18th century, it is now largely a vernacular utilized by young white men who decorate their apartments with traditional Japanese prints and are devoted fans of manga artist Hayao Miyazaki. In fact, if present trends continue, we predict that within several decades the Japanese language will be spoken almost exclusively by fair-skinned twentysomething U.S. citizens who regularly purchase packaged seaweed snacks from small Asian markets and watch Akira Kurosawa films several times per month.” The report further confirmed that virtually 100 percent of this demographic is either currently dating or recently broke up with a woman named Miku.

Rewatching random eps of Gundam 00 s2 for nostalgia reasons. Such cool ideas and battles, but man, I was reminded how the show annoyingly had useless idiot characters for like half the cast (Nena, Lie Mei, Hong Long, Lasse, Billy, Patrick, Kati, MISTAH BUSHIDOH, and of course the Most Useless Character in Any Anime Ever That Still Gets a ton of Fucking Screentime for No Fucking Reason: Marina Ismail.) If those characters were axed or downplayed s2 would have been easily better than s1 IMO.

The set-up is - different, but the plot is nothing special, no. Keep watching, there are twists that make it more interesting. And character development. But it's mostly about high-octane insanity with some emotional punches and 'powering up' and all that.

uh anyway i just realized that bakuman has ended! back when i gave a fuck they were at a point where they made a super popular manga but it couldn't have been made into an anime because it's content weren't proper for tv, which i tought was really fucking stupid considering loverupopsicle.gif is a thing so i checked the ending and in the end they do make another super popular manga which get turned into an anime which sounds like a really lazy cop-out ending to something that was getting dragged on purpouse (which ehy! i guess it's kinda like death note), but if someone here on thebore readed it all would he mind giving me a summary?

finished watching all of the space dandy episode's of season 1, i didn't like the last episode much because

1) space dandy it's at his best when it's goofy and funny and comedic and i don't know how these "SERIOUS EPISODE" keep sneaking in
2) QT is the most boring character of the show

know what should have been the last episode? a dr.gel episode, the guy only appear like 5 minute every episode and i hate hate hate it, he deserves much more screen time, best episode were

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the zombie one for poking fun at zombie's, the space flea one for making a dog death funny, the plant episode for being the most artisticaly fucked up episode, the chameleon episode for just being plain good funny and lastly the race episode... the race episode is the best space dandy episode

Kinda anime related but a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure:All Star Battle demo is on PSN.

I was totally surprised at how much I enjoyed Haikyuu!!. I never read the manga because I didn't care for how the characters looked but they look great in motion. Captain Earth was aight,Mahouka was aight,Jojo was good.

I notice none of you have brought up Samurai Flamenco since it ended. I stopped around 15/16 and I haven't caught up yet but I read about it's :himu ending

It's just easier for me if things are on Netflix because then it's in HD and with no commercials. I wish they would step up with the anime.

I'm with you, but Netlifx thinks people like to binge shows, and they're right based on their past non-anime experiences.

I guess some Australian company was going to stream the show, but Netflix basically nixed that. Argh.

Nope. Like I said, Netflix got the streaming rights and they're going to sit on it until the show finishes airing.

That's distinguished mentally-challenged and may as well tell everyone to pirate.

Might as well post my thoughts on some of the new shows.

Jojo's Bizzare Adventure Stardust Crusaders: Continuing the awesome manga adaption from the previous season.  Not much to say here...it's great and I have nothing to complain about.

Akuma No Riddle: Weird premise in which a bunch of highly deadly female assassins -who are naturally all high school students, because Japan- all get grouped in the same class, with the goal of killing the one girl among them who is not an assassin.  It's pretty obvious who that girl is (she's one of the two main characters), yet they all seem to act oblivious initially.  Only watched one episode of this, which sets everything up.  The plot is going to revolve around the other main character deciding not to kill the girl and protect her from the others instead.  The biggest problem I have with this show is that the main assassin girl is one of those 'cold' types who displays no emotion, or any real personality, for that matter, and doesn't speak much.  I find this type of character incredibly boring.

Blade and Soul: Looked like it was going to be more Queen's Blade, but is actually a bit less fan-servicey (although it's still filled with scantily-clad females and huge, bouncing breasts, of course!) and actually has a story.  The main character is similar to the girl in Akuma No Riddle in that she is cold, displays zero emotion, and rarely talks.  One of the other characters even calls her out on this, so the show is at least self-aware and there may even be a reason why the character acts this way, but it still comes off as boring and makes for a character that I have no sympathy for.  Awesome ending theme, BTW.

Captain Earth: Mecha show that seems to be trying to be something like Evangelion.  Not sure about this one yet.

Fuuun Ishin Dai Shogun: Has some of the worst animation (or rather, completely lacks in animation) I've ever seen.   Starts off as "tough guy takes over town by beating the shit out of all rivals in alternate-reality Japan," turns into "tough guy is also virgin and pervert who lusts for and peeps on women,"  but has to stay a virgin to pilot...a mecha....because Japan.

Hitsugi no Chaika: Watched one episode.  It's a fantasy-adventure show about a brother-sister duo helping a loli mage, who carries a magical sniper rifle in a giant coffin and is looking for body parts, Castlevania II-style.  Might be fun; too early to tell.

Mekaku City Actors: About a shut-in, living with a virtual girl on his PC, who goes outside after two years and gets caught in the middle of a terrorist plot by masked men who demand a ransom for him and all the other customers in the shop they're in.  Cool visual style and a plot that's hard to follow. 

Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin: Nanana is a happy-go-lucky girl who likes adventure and treasure-hunting!  Also, she's FUCKING DEAD and her ghost haunts a dorm room that the protagonist inhabits.  So it's ghost-harem comedy stuff or something.

Mangaka-san to Assistant-san: Yay, another harem-style show about a pervert surrounded by girls, wanting to do perverted shit and getting rejected for it.  ZZzzzz. 

Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo Returns: Classic murder mystery high-school detective hijinx.

Gochuumon wa Usagi Desuka?: Not sure why I watched this, but my wife and I sat through it and felt kind of...relaxed and pleasant afterwards.  For some reason I kept thinking that the people who made this were really high.

Ping Pong the Animation: :bow :bow2

i've started reading berserk, i really shouldn't considering the most annoying part about reading manga and/or watching anime is how 80% of the time they don't have an ending and they keep dragging them on and on and on and on

and i know berserk is pretty bad in regards of that as it's been on hiatus forever, but well i was kind of sick of picking stuff to read at random and this is pretty good anyway!

though i have to ask... is there anybody in this manga that doesn't get raped at some point?

When people say "dark fantasy" in regards to Berserk they mean it, especially the first two (or three, I forget) volumes, before the style solidifies some. It gets a lot less dire once he starts travelling with a regular RPG party.

and honestly even if both have lot of similiar point (ultra-violence,plot that span over several years,main character with daddy issues) i think i'm enjoying berserk better because A) it's more fast paced, B) it has a super natural element C)

it's not a big deal if the hiatuses are well planned.  the last break was perfect.  it sucks when togashi drops out mid-arc, multiple times, and one storyline lasts over 8 years.  though to be fair it's the longest storyline by like double.

i've read this manga called aiki, the manga opens with a power scuffle between martial artist school girl so at first i tought it would be the sort of pandering fighting manga like ikki tousen (especialy since the first chapter's are pretty fanservicey) but as the chapter rolls it start shifting it's focus and start focusing on this character called joukyuu, joukyuu is some sort of super martial genius to the point his father broke his bones to depower him and his super martial arts power have made him an horrible smug jerk

which is what makes this whole manga so enjoyable, joukyuu act like a complete buffon, fight like some sort of psycho-jackie chan and 8 times out of 10 purposefuly makes thing harder for his allies just for shits & giggles, just look at his loveable face

(http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110423145134/aiki/images/d/d1/Aiki-235107.jpg)

it's a pretty short manga (topping at 100 chapters) and while it's action packed, it's completly void of all the thing that happen in your average shonen like power of friendship,people powering up and pulling special moves and dramatic villains that want to blow up the world (in fact almost all of the villain in this manga are completly idiotic which is also what adds to the charm)

i think the artist used to draw porn which i guess explains the first raunchy chapters

jesus fucking christ, i've been reading ichi the killer, this is the most squickish manga i've ever read, wulfsmund got nothing on this and berserk looks like child play by comparison, there aren't enough :mindblown :goty :oreilly :kobeyuck to describe this

plot! a bunch of people captain by an old man called jiji decide to murder and steal all of the money from a big shot yakuza, they do this thanks to the help of ichi, a mentaly unstable guy who turn into an homicidal machine everytime he's threatened, by murdering people with razors planted on his heel as he recalls previous traumatic event from his life, this also sexualy arouses him because murder out of trauma wasn't apparently horrible enough

this sends the yakuza second in command, kakihara into a rage, as he search for the killer of his boss, jiji tricks him into starting a war with the other yakuza clans, since kakihara is a sadomasochist, this give him an excuse to murder and torture rival clans in the grossest way possible

and i swear to god there is like something super gross going on every 3 chapter at least, it's like if they made a manga out of the darkest corner of the internet

This thread's been too quiet and it's golden week. Where's your :expert pride.

Been watching, just haven't been posting.

(http://i.imgur.com/McCqKua.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/lFDNB4F.jpg)

I watched a bunch of crap, dropped some of it, and I've pretty well settled in on the shows I'm gonna watch this season.

Da Best
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders (Ep 1 - 4) - THIS MUST BE THE WORK OF AN ENEMY STAND!

Ping Pong (Ep 1 - 3) - Table Tennis is SRS BSNS. I'm really digging the art style.

Da Good
Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san (Ep 1 - 4) - Yuri panderbait garbage, 10/10, would watch again.

Puchim@s!! (Ep. 1 - 25) - Literal moeblob show. It's great.

Soul Eater Not! (Ep 1 - 4) - Really has little to do with the main Soul Eater series, it's basically a Slice-of-Life show set in the Soul Eater universe. It's cute, though. Also contains high levels of yuri pandering.

Is the Order a Rabbit? (Ep 1 - 3) - This season's "cute girls doing nothing" show. (i.e. Kinmoza, Yuyushiki, Non Non Biyori)

Atelier Escha & Logy (Ep 1 - 3) - A nice chill fantasy series (based on the game of the same name, obvs). Good show to unwind with.

Nanana's Buried Treasure (Ep 1 - 3) - Guy moves into an apartment haunted by the ghost of a cute girl treasure hunter who make him go find all of her lost treasure and buy pudding for her, while she stays at home and plays Virtua Fighter and Terraria. Seems legit.

No Game No Life (Ep 1 - 3) - NEET guy and his loli sister get sucked into a universe that's ruled by games and references to Phoenix Wright and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Seems legit.

Chaika: The Coffin Princess (Ep 1 - 3) - It's like Scrapped Princess, but with 100% more coffins.

DA DUMB

Riddle: Story of the Devil (Ep 1 - 4) - A class full of schoolgirl assassins are given the assignment of killing another schoolgirl, but one of them falls in love instead.  :heart

Date a Live II (Ep 1 - 3) - Dumbest show ever, I wish I could quit you, DAL!

The Irregular at Magic High School (Ep 1 - 4) - The MC is a big ol' Gary Stu who gets all the chicks wet, including his sister, and whoops lots of ass. I can't stop watching this mess.

Captain Earth (Ep. 1 - 4) - BONES trying to remake Evangelion yet again. The pretentious technobabble comes hard and fast, but it's all so goofy, it's hard to take seriously.

Magica Wars (Ep 1 - 4) - Magical girl parody thing. I dunno, it's only 3 minutes long tho.

Mekakucity Actors (Ep 1 - 2) - Shaft gonna Shaft. It may either be the greatest anime ever, or a steaming hot mess.

Selector infected WIXOSS (Ep 1 - 2) - Yugioh + Madoka. Card battling is all fun and games TILL SHIT GETS ALL GRIMDARK ON YOUR ASS.

DA PROBABLY GONNA DROP THIS SHIT SOON I CAN'T EVEN WITH THIS

Daimidaler (Ep 1 - 3) Our hero pilots a giant robot powered by horniness. Will he be able to grope enough titties to save the world? (Spoiler: Yes)

DA STILL ON THE FENCE

One Week Friends (Ep 1) - This is the OMG FEELS show of the season, and I did enjoy the first episode, and the characters are cute, but I just don't know if I can watch an anime that steals plotlines from an Adam Sandler movie.

20th Century Fox was involved in producing it, so a NA release had to be offered to them first. As they don't seem interested in that, we may get a release from somebody else eventually.

Been watching the new series Arc-V. First four episodes were great, especially the last one. Had some real stakes, crazy moves, cool visuals, and a lot of heart. Not only that, am I the only one that thinks the OST is pretty amazing? When Yuya was doing his Block Spider thing the music was ace, same for the Pendulum Summons. :mynicca

Also, as I grasp Pendulum Summons more they don't seem so hax (still pretty hax), but Odd-Eyes Dragon definitely seems broken as hell. Slap on an ATK-booster and it can do some pretty big damage unless your opponent only has low-levels. :expert

He showed up twice in GX which was 10 years after the original show (I think.) Pegasus and some other flunkies from the OG show also showed up.

5D's is like 100 years after GX though so no real chance of OG or GX cameos. Zexal and Arc-V take place some stupid amount of time after 5D's too.

Yeah, Ichi the Killer is insane. Kakihara has a pretty, um, interesting fate. Have the triplets been introduced yet?

when i posted the above, yeah the triplet had just been introduced but i had no idea you were talking about them because they are presented as a duo...

anyway i finished reading ichi the killer and at the end it was all like "ehy why you don't try this other manga by the same author?" so i did

this one is called homunculus, a doctor wants to make some experiment about unlocking a potential sixth sense, he does so by picking a random hobo from the road and drilling a hole in his skull... the result is that the hobo now sees some people as weird creatures and some as normal, for example he see a yakuza boss as a robot and a rebel teenage girl as a sand golem, but you see... the people he see as monster actualy have suffered from similiar emotional trauma like his own, so now the duo goes around trying to psycho-analyze all of the people the hobo sees as monsters

it's pretty weird but unlike ichi i feel like i could suggest it to someone without landing on some FBI watch list

Kindaichi is good shit, yeah.  I keep watching it weekly but keep thinking I should wait until it's over to watch; this is one of those shows where one case runs for multiple episodes and I keep wanting more when the end of episode cliffhanger happens!   :lol

The first case is episodes 1-4 BTW.  I liked the first three, but the ending is beyond dumb:

the killer murdered several people, but it's as if a slap on the wrist is given and nobody cares.   :dizzy

Blade & Soul: Still watching this; Alka's "I do nothing to stop people from getting killed when I could prevent their deaths so easily" body count is now up to two.  Seriously; who thought having a main character completely devoid of any emotion/personality was a good idea? 

Fuck-up #1:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Alka gets defeated in a previous episode and is flung into a river.  She is feverish and temporary blinded.  Gets rescued by two two orphan kids who still food from the town to survive.  One of them starts using Alka's sword to rob people and ends up killing them too.  She talks to him about what using a sword can do, but ultimately just lets him get killed by soldiers from the town before she steps in and takes them out. 
[close]

Fuck-up #2:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Alka is hired as a bodyguard by some crazy dude who hates that a town is doing well, due to the flowers they grow and harvest (which are ground up and used to get high).  He seems like he has good intentions at first, then goes crazy at the end and tries to kill the village chief.  His helper steps in, a totally innocent girl from another town, and takes the guy's knife, then dies.  All of this happens directly in front of Alka, who is like two steps away, and another character who also is revealed to have crazy combat skills.  Just... :wtf

i was browsing stuff with my manga reading app yesterday when i somehow ended up on elfen lied and i was like "ehy isn't that gorey anime with loli's that someone mentioned on thebore?"

and i think i found the first manga were "so bad it's good" applies, this is a complete and utter hilarious train wreck... where do i begin

- every girl in this manga is drawn with huuuuuuuuuge eyes that make for like 80% of their face, they use these eyes to cry like little bitches at least once every 10 pages mostly because they were angry at the main character or someone maimed the shit out of them (once in a while, someone maimed them while being angry at the main character)

- speaking of the latter, there is lot of girl getting dismembered or hit and the whole things feels like they were trying to go for a softcore version of gore porn but the whole thing is so badly drawn that it's just kinda hilarious and everytime someone loses an arm it looks more like the incredible crash dummies than an actual squicky scene (spoilered for NSFW boobs)

- the story is like the worst collection of clichè ever, there is a childhood friend (who wants to bone the main character just because...) an amnesia,some childhood promise...    every character that orbits around the MC is :uguu bait that wants to bone him, the only other male character's in the whole story are the villains, it's either bait or nothing

- oh and apparently the whole story takes place in a future where the police,social service and empathy have long gone extinct, here is a scene where the villain choke's a newborn baby, just because kicking a puppy wouldn't clearly be enough to show how EVIL and TWISTED he is

The guy that did the Elfen Lied manga has got some serious issues and those issues permeate every pore of his works. I really wouldn't recommend any of them to anybody for any reason.

It's kind of a shock to see SHOTA ANGRY after like 70 episodes of "I love candy and puppies and flowers and I'm pure and nice and good and lightness" (I think Killua actually called Gon "his light" at one point, lmfao.)

Also Kite and Pitou in general.

I think Gon is beyond SHOTA ANGRY though. He threatened to kill an innocent a couple of episodes ago. And he was serious about it, too. The only shounen protag that's done that is Kira from Death Note

Just can't. My wife likes to watch HxH every week and I'll glance at it for a bit.  Last week was some dumb Freeza-wannabe flying around being pestered by little fairy dudes with deep voices and what the fuck is this?

For a kids' show, One Piece also has a lot of big-tittied females and shower scenes.  I see that the recent arc has a Red Sonja rip-off, armor and all.  Ota's a dirty old man?   :P

Pure brilliance.

The character designs also get way better as the series goes on. Kite is like, one of the coolest character designs.

i've actualy finished reading elfen lied a while ago but i didn't post about it because it just wasn't there anything worth to say after what i wrote, are you ready for the INCREDIBLE SPOILER about the ending?

spoiler (click to show/hide)
it ends exactly like old yeller, except with more loli tears because japanese people empathize better with loli's than dog's
[close]

fun fact: there is quite a big stretch were none of the main character are shown and the plot focus on this scientist girl as she tries to escape an island full of murderous psycho loli's and it's the only part of the manga that is actualy readable because it actualy start to feel like a proper horror/action manga

Awesome. I spent most of last night catching up with the manga. I couldn't help it after yesterday's episode. The anime is closer to catching up to the manga than I thought. It's gonna suck when it goes on hiatus.

Those toys always get domestic releases, so you can find them selling for around $55-$60 each once they come Stateside.  I got the Ghostbusters one but don't think I'm going to bother with these two.  They did one for Men In Black, too.  And then there's all the Marvel/DC ones and the Tekken/Street Fighter ones.  The value will often go up pretty quickly, too.  I have one that goes for $200-$400, but I don't think I'd get that much since the box got crushed in a move.    :'(

Post by: magus on May 31, 2014, 06:06:44 PM
i've started reading Monster, yes it's another manga of naoki urasawa...

i have a weird love/hate relationship with naoki urasawa, on one hand his drawing are amazing, he often sets his manga during historical periods making them feel more realistic and giving them an unique flair, and the manga he writes are basicaly psychological thrillers which are as far as removed from your standard manga (eg: action manga where the character fight and scream for 10/15 chapters or love comedies where 3-4 things with boobs and no personalities orbit around a clueless protagonist) that i can't help but enjoy them

however the guy screws up in several way... the villains in his manga never have a clear motive and are rarely shown that in the end they just feels confusing, the main characters always act more or less like saints,at times his manga devolve into really stupid "good vs evil" affair (mostly noticeable in pluto which is based on a manga for kids and yet somehow ends up having dialogue more childish than the source) and he really can't do endings at all

but anyway... monster, a doctor called tenma (oh, i just noticed he's called like another osamu tezuka character, you sly devil urakawa :lol) is one of the most skilled surgeon in a hospital so knowing urakawa fixation with tezuka at first i tought it would be like blackjack, but no... tenma is supposed to become the director of the hospital thanks to his skill, however that all change when out of guilty, after the director of the hospital forced him to leave a random nobody to die, he decide to disobey the director order and save the life of a kid instead of the mayor of the city, this in turn draws the ire of the director ruining his career... that's it,until the director mysteriously die and the little kid together with his little sister vanish, however as he gets involved with a witness of a murder he ends up discovering that the murder of the director was done by none other than the kid he saved along a shitload of other murders so he basicaly ended up saving hitler 2.0, this spawn a long game of cat & mouse with tenma trying to find the kid again so that he can kill him while wondering if it's ok to take the life of another or not, saving lot of life's and getting found by the police (who think he's the real culprit) but not captured because of his sanctity like every 5 chapter on average

aaaaannnddd eh it's the same premise of 20th century boy, a random dude gets involved with someone SO EVIL and MYSTERIOUS only he can stop it as long as it will take many many pages, 20th century boy was interessing but the ending was really stupid

spoiler (click to show/hide)
if i remember correctly, the villain get himself killed in a really dumb manner, so another character which they literaly put out of his ass replace him, then somehow for some reason i can't even remember the apocalypse happen and the main character turns into some sort of hippie,then the villain turns into a giant monster :what
[close]

so somehow i can't help but wondering when i'm going to get disappointed
spoiler (click to show/hide)
apparently the kid has a double personality disorder... I CAN ALREADY SEE THE GLIMMER OF STUPIDITY

Monster is good. It's still trying to make you cry a bit much, but it's good. I'm pretty much over Urasawa though. His latest (?), Billy Bat, has a pretty neat premise, but in the ends it's all built around mystery and tears too and I just can't be bothered.

But like half of those episodes weren't needed.  It really, really, reaaaaaaaally dragged on at the end, too.

Tried to watch Gurren Lagann after that and stopped after five episodes.  Was just too much after all that KLK.

Monster

i finished reading this.... here's a summary of the story

(http://i.imgur.com/eMtsApH.gif)

i think that pretty much sums every single naoki urasawa manga, i don't know how i was able to feel into this trap thrice... don't get me wrong, when stuff happens it's a good manga, but it's a 162 chapter manga and i'm pretty sure only around 50 chapter have any actual plot development

the rest can be either summarized as...

- tenma being such a good samaritan that he make jesus looks like a noob
- nina has a panic attack that vaguely hints the next direction where all the characters are going (which obviously leads to nowhere) but no manly salmon is there to slap the shit out of her
- someone get introduced, has a sad backstory, then get killed off by the villains 5 chapter laters

by the way, the villains have no raison d'etrè... there is a big govern group that wants johan because... reasons? and johan just shuffle around mysteriously and occasionaly murder people (or convince other people to murder with his magical villain power) because EVERYTHING IS DEATH AND BAD AND UGLY, it feels like this manga has no plotline at all, and so much time is spent on minor character who had super shitty life but have so much optimism that in another more fantasy related manga it could have been turned into a super power

for me the only two bright spots of the manga are eva and lunge, both these character are sad and bitter assholes who not only have trauma that sounds reasonable as opposed to "my dog died,my parent abandoned me,i was kidnapped as a child and i was also a murder witness" but they also cope with it in a manner that is interessing and realistic (one in a destructive way and the other in an obssesive way) as opposed to going into a 3 page monologue about how everything is going to be fine

in fact if you removed all the useless secondary character, added more eva and lunge... and decided for the plot to have an actual direction it could have been a really good manga, lunge and tenma have a very good "the fugitive" like dynamic but that never goes anywhere because OH NO SOME OTHER MINOR CHARACTER JUST DIED AND WE HAVE TO CRY FOR HIM SO WE HAVE NO TIME FOR LUNGE

Read it instead. When you get to a badass moment in the manga, youtube a clip to see the badassery animated. You can read it much faster than you can watch it. More than that, the manga is the greatest comic of all time. The anime isn't even top 50 anime. Eventually, it starts to pad and have insane amount of filler. It also lacks the ridiculous art quality and pacing that makes One Piece so fantastic. Read the manga. Trust me.

i'm reading a manga called "apocalypse zero" it's like a weird mashup of kill la kill and hokuto no ken, after the apocalypse happened, the world is now a nuclear wasteland and the only things remaining are japanese schools and giant monster called tactical fiends, kakugo hakakure is a student but of course he's not a normal student! he knows a weird martial art that let him turns his body into steel and he has an armored suit fueled by the vengeful ghosts of people sacrificed in the same horrible freak accident that created the monsters

so he now wanders the land, defeating all of the monsters and trying to stop their leader, who is also his brother, who also has another magical ghost suit and.. yeah i think i just described pretty much your standard fighting manga, so what makes this one stand out? the art is really fucking weird and dare to say most of the time pretty gross to look at with monsters having huge eyes, deformed body parts (most of the time focusing on the naughty bits) and appendice's that seems to grow from fucking everywhere

So I've pretty much bailed on anime these past few years and I realized that I'd watch a hell of a lot more anime series if I could watch them on a tablet in bed.  But for playing most fansubs streamed from my desktop in the latest 10-bit h264 mkv format in 1080p...it seems like tablets have serious problems with this.  I know my ipad2 is too weak to do it as I tried the couple of apps and it was just too choppy.


Is anyone doing this and can recommend a modern tablet I can buy that will let me stream my anime folder from my desktop and watch smoothly in my bed at night?  I'm down to pay good money for a tablet that would let me do that.  All I end up doing is web browsing at light night because I'm too tired to get out of bed.  Would be nice to blow through some good anime shows.

I have a couple of suggestions for you.  I'm not sure how the iPad 2 holds up for this, but it's worth a try if you haven't tried these apps:

-AVPlayer does stream, IIRC, but I use it play videos I put on my iPhone 5 locally.  You can just drag and drop stuff to the app from iTunes and they queue up quick.
-Air Video is an amazing video streaming device.  You download it on your phone/tablet and PC, set whatever folder(s) you want to stream from, and then can stream flawlessly and quickly from your home network.  You can even do on-the-fly encoding for .MKV files.  If your network is strong enough, video will play pretty much lag-free. 
-For both of these, try playing 720P videos.  There's no reason to bother with 1080P on screens that small anyway.  Since you mention .mkv, that means you're downloading shit anyway, so just get stuff from Deadfish.  They convert almost all new releases to .MP4 formats, ready for play on pretty much everything.  You might be able to watch this stuff flawlessly on your iPad 2.
-Deadfish encodes also play perfectly on Vita.

I also have a Win 8.1 tablet (ASUS T100).  This thing is powerful enough to stream everything at 1080P.  Ditto for local video playback.  It's only around $400 and works great.  Eel has one too.  New models even come with a 500 GB HDD in the keyboard dock.  Detached from the keyboard, the tablet is light enough to use in bed for streaming.

Yeah dude.  It's a full-on Windows PC in tablet form.  Boots up in seconds.  You just download codec packs if needed. Everything will play on it.   :)  It's even surprisingly good for light gaming...install Steam and go.  I play SSF4 Arcade Edition on mine, for example:

Of course!  Again- it's a full-on Windows PC.    

While I wait for my new laptop to come sometime next week, I'm using mine as my primary PC-- have it hooked up to my monitor via micro HDMI and have a keyboard, mouse, and two external hard drives plugged into it.

It's not going to be top of the line at that budget price, but it's a good 1366x678 (720P) screen that you're not going to have any quips with unless you matched it up right up against something else.  There's not much to complain about for the price, really.  Especially considering that the T100 comes with a full-on keyboard/touchpad-- not a weird rubbery thing, an actual fuckin' KEYBOARD.  And again, newer models even get you that 500GB of extra storage in the keyboard dock.  If I had that, mine would be loaded up with tons and tons of media and games.

i've read a few chapter and tought it was decent but since it was a relatively new manga there were very few chapters out and i quickly forgot about it

the plot goes like this, a yellow alien called koro-sensei has declared that he will destroy the earth in 1 year (and has destroyed the moon, no less to show that's he capable of such a feat) but to make things fair for planet earth he decided that he will be the teacher in a school and for the whole year preceding earth destruction, the student in his class can attempt to kill him and the one that does it will win a huge sum of money

that said it's pretty much your typical high school manga including, there is one character that acts like an asshole because he was expelled from the school after a teacher framed him, BUT THEN THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP MAKES HIM GOOD AGAIN! BOO-YA!

luckily koro sensei is hilarious and turns what would be a tripe manga into something worth a look, basicaly imagine if super man had the whole world by the balls so he used that to fool around like an idiot while trying to impart life lesson and you pretty much have koro sensei

I dunno; there's not much inspired in the Gundam designs. I know they can only push so far before people get weird about it, but I like to see some more variation. I even liked Syd Mead's Turn A stuff. This time, I like the humans and the Montero, but the actual Gundam stuff... Hm.

Probably look better in motion and maybe some upgrades.  I like the colors, not sure about the unit yet.  It still look more interesting than some of the recent Gundam stuff.  Looks kind of bug-like, like a small scale Dunbine style gundam.

As for Chaika, chibi Fredrica had me rolling. Before the episode aired, I thought she was gone for good, and that they would make a ~daring escape~ by jumping from ship to ship. The new Chaika was so fucking obvious in hindsight too, btw.

I thought I'd give Great Rumbler a chance this time (and yes there is some good stuff coming) (Tokyo Ghouls should be good)

I dropped Pedal because the lead guy is too shonen tropey :/

looking at that list i see they are doing season 2 of strange+, i watched the first season and it was quite dumb,it's a bunch of shorts (3 minutes episode) about the pretty non-sensical adventure of 4 private detective (one of which is a guy that looks like a girl leading to a lot of "fanservice done wrong" jokes)

here's a scene where the detective have to decide through which door to go but find out that behind every door there is a butt on a spring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSec6LoecBU#t=1m57s)

Can you use an X360 controller for gaming on it?

Of course!  Again- it's a full-on Windows PC.    

While I wait for my new laptop to come sometime next week, I'm using mine as my primary PC-- have it hooked up to my monitor via micro HDMI and have a keyboard, mouse, and two external hard drives plugged into it.

Quote
Also, how does the display compare to other screens?  I saw some reviews that said it wasn't as bright or colorful.

It's not going to be top of the line at that budget price, but it's a good 1366x678 (720P) screen that you're not going to have any quips with unless you matched it up right up against something else.  There's not much to complain about for the price, really.  Especially considering that the T100 comes with a full-on keyboard/touchpad-- not a weird rubbery thing, an actual fuckin' KEYBOARD.  And again, newer models even get you that 500GB of extra storage in the keyboard dock.  If I had that, mine would be loaded up with tons and tons of media and games.

Here's a thread Eel made where he tested various games on it. (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=41593.0)

Ok, I'm going to go with the Asus T100 after a lot of research.  Not sure what to do about storage though:

1) Go with 64gb on tablet, no extra storage.  Gives me about 30gb free, can transfer stuff through USB from my desktop to tablet and watch anime/movies in bed or on the go.

2) Go with 32gb on tablet + 500gb in dock.  Gives about 15gb free, can transfer tons of stuff through USB from my desktop to dock, but every time will have to move something over to tablet from dock, watch, move back to dock to constantly make room.  Also can't install much with that 15gb free.  But can buy a 64gb Micro SD card to always keep in it and then tablet has ~75gbs to play with and 500gb in dock.


#1 actually seems the most hassle free and actually about $20 cheaper.  #2 has the helpfulness of being able to like, keep multiple series on dock and just transfer on whatever I want to watch without getting up.


What would you recommend?  64gb is like $363, 32gb + 500gb storage is $380.


Hopefully this will get me back into anime.  I usually spend about an hour at night in bed winding down and mainly just play 3DS or watch Netflix on my ipad2.  There's a lot of 2012/2013 shows I want to catch up on like Space Dandy, Valvrave and Gundam Build Fighters.

Lyte, after a lot of research on tablets for anime watching ended up ordering a 64gb T100 + 500gb dock for like $460.  Was tempted to get the Dell Pro 11 for the brighter 1080p screen, but it's basically $200 more, bigger and heavier and I'm mainly going to be watching stuff in the dark where I want comfort and anime is a format that scales really well so 720p vs 1080p doesn't make much of a difference.

Looking forward to it!

That was the right choice- 32GB wouldn't have given you enough space on the tablet, sans-dock (remember that Windows takes up space so you're left with very little on a 32GB model) and there's no reason to spend more than $400-$500 for one of these things.  You'll have plenty of free space to load it up with media and you can add more space with a micro SD card too.

Most of the time I don't bother with 1080P stuff for anything I download.  It's just larger file sizes and the difference between 720P and 1080P for anime/TV/movies is barely ever noticeable to me.  With games it's a different story.

some random stuff i've readed

Ajin

in the year... 20something the world has discovered special entities known as ajins,ajins are exactly like normal human except that they can't die, one happy day the MC die's in a car accident... and soon discover he can't die, thus begin a manhunt for the MC as ajins are rare as fuck and the government use them for freak experiments, meanwhile another group of ajins tries to convince the MC to join their terrorist ajin groups but the MC personality tethers quite closely between saint that doesn't want to hurt anybody and fucking psychopath who doesn't think twice about the value of human lives which make for "will he or won't he?" moment

Sakamoto desu ga?

Sakamoto is a student in your generic school but the thing is that he's perfect, he isn't a mary sue, he has trascended the mary sue, he flies, he sparkles, every woman wants him and every guy is jealous of him, this lead to a lot of comedy situation as the other more normal student want a piece of him but get caught in his exagerated perfection

(http://2.p.mpcdn.net/8493/132478/7.jpg)

Devilman

i love oldass manga so i was quite surprised when i realized i never actualy read something from go nagai, this one shouldn't need much introduction, devils are bad, guy turns into good devil to fight bad devil, guy has a lot of very punchy fight with other devils, there is a surprising amount of blood considering the somewhat kid friendly image i have of mazinger

gee, i just finished reading this and a little kid get decapitated :kobeyuck

this isn't the first time i read an old ass manga where a kid dies an horrible death, old ass manga are serious stuff

the ending is a downer too "yup! humanity is fucked, THE END!"

you know i feel like i've done a disservice to this manga by calling it "a punchy thing manga" because there is like 2 fight in the whole manga, it's more of a mix of an horror manga and an incredibly bleak pessimistic dystopian manga, in the end it's humanity itself that goes crazy at the horror of the demon wars rather than the actual demon murdering everybody, i tought that was a nice way to turn it into something different from the usual manga's

Devilman is like nothing compared to some of the crazy shit Nagai did later on.  For example, there's Hanappe Bazooka (which got an OVA made...somehow), which is about an Urusei Yatsura Moroboshi-level pervert, who starts beating off to porn and inadvertently-summons two demons.  Demon #1 (weird looking big fat green guy) then proceeds to have his way with Hanappe's mom and demon #2 (weird looking semi-furry female) has her way with his sister.  Fat demon then makes Hanappe's dad mega-rich, so he forgets about the sexual escapades and buys himself a harem, and Hanappe is granted...a magic finger that's supposed to make people want to fuck him if he shoots them.  Pretty much everyone remains naked for the most part and "wacky hijinx" ensue, so I guess it's like a really fucked-up Urusei Yatsura.

And this is one of the tamer Nagai stories.   :lol

EDIT: My bad, I see that Go Nagai did the artwork and the story is from Kazuo Koike...who did stuff like Madbull 34 and Crying Freeman.  Makes sense now.  :obama

Dororon Enma-kun also has a character that appears to be nude, except for a mask/hat, and is probably way too young to be depicted that way.   The thing to keep in mind here is that Nagai was doing a lot of this shit in the 1970s, so there was a lot of controversy/opposition to it.

EDIT: And I see from googling that he did a Dororon Enbi-Chan comic in the early 2000s, with an older -and still nude- version of the character  :lol

There was an Enma-kun anime from a few years ago that was pretty good. And it was really pervy, too. By which I mean that the final episode featured the entire cast in a giant orgy.

It's long, but really good. Strays a bit from canon, but if you're gonna obsess over Gundam canon, you've got problems.

i've found a site which host torrent of several complete and some times somewhat rare manga, so i've been browsing that

and i found a manga called hoshi mamoru inu... you know how everytime a movie wants to be really fucking sad, they decide to kill the dog and it's like the worst thing ever to the point they made a site that answer whetever a dog dies in a movie or not? (http://doesthedogdie.com/)

now imagine if they made the saddest manga about dog dying and... there you have it! it's a super downing manga (http://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/sadbron.png)

apparently they even made a movie out of it

Quote from: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-03/inferno-cop-amemiya-to-direct-trigger-ninja-slayer-anime/.76291
Studio Trigger revealed at its panel at Anime Expo on Thursday that Inferno Cop director Akira Amemiya will direct the studio's upcoming Ninja Slayer From Animation anime. Amemiya also served as an episode director for Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Kill la Kill, and Black Rock Shooter. He also directed the Gurren Lagann Parallel Works video anime.

Studio Trigger will start production on the anime in 2015, and Boom Boom Satellites (Xam'd: Lost Memories, Mobile Suit Gundam UC) will perform the main theme song "Back in Black." Studio Trigger will reveal the first teaser trailer on the anime's official website on July 6 at 11:00 a.m. EST.

I liked Sailor Moon for the most part.  V metal opening.  The transformation was very good.  Didn't like that her hair was so long from the start.

How much longer will it be when she gets back her moon memories?

Knights of Sidonia ep 1 was pretty cool.  It was very nice to see Nihei's art moving very fluidly.

I like how Mamoru just randomly walks around town wearing a tuxedo. That'd be like if Clark Kent started wearing the Superman cape to work.

Although no one ever figures out that Usagi is Sailor Moon even though her disguise is that...uh...she has a tiara. You'd think those twintails would be a dead giveaway.

Space Dandy season 2 in a couple minutes~ :lawd

Zankyou no Terror and Tokyo Esp are the only other things I'm looking forward to that still need to air.  Both could go either way.

And Tokyo Ghoul is one of those shows that makes you wanna wait till the blu rays are out. The censoring is worse than Jojo, the latest episode had a scene where it covered up like 85% of the screen. The show is nice though.

Lots of anime have great scores, guys!!

Cowboy Bebop's music is the best. RK's music is hot, but it's not as good as One Piece's, or Escaflowne or anything. But it's still great. Been a long time since the music in an anime impressed me.

beautiful image of why modern animu sux. FUCK OFF with that bloom shit already. Just ridiculous.

The older style is also much more cartoony, i.e. BETTER

I believe they are following manga more closely here. Could be wrong. I'll whip out the manga later.

Also, the new Sailor Moon OP sucks. The song is fine, but the actual opening is boring.

Sailor Moon intros are supposed to be rife with symbolism, cool girl power moments, and lotta cool ass animation.

I think Space Dandy has a really good score and I'm definitely in the camp that doesn't think the show is anywhere near as good as ppl make it out to be.

So, Ghibli's latest movie, When Marnie Was There, was basically a bomb. It opened at #3 in the box office and took in less than half of what Arrietty, the director's previous movie, did in its opening weekend, which was already a bit weak compared to other Ghibli movies. Long story short, they're in a really not good place right now.

The most unironically good show this season is Sabagebu, a show about a high school survival game club [airsoft] made up of five girls. Now, the reason it's actually good and not a giant pile of garbage, is that it has a really great sense of humor, doesn't spend much of any time pandering to perverts, and has a top-shelf main character, a unrepentantly violent, petty, and self-absorbed girl who wins through whatever means necessary and doesn't afraid of anything.

Rumbler, you never answered my pm, but I'm serious. I'm currently drafting ideas for animated shorts and drawing story boards. If you want in, and join me in my move to LA we can do this.

How do these ideas sound:

- A short of a tree from seed to being cut down, the people its seen, the hands that have touched its bark, the changes of the area it experienced, from birth to death. If I'm going to tell a story about humans, a good way to practice is to focus on inanimate objects, a tree being a good example, and attempt to humanize them.

- Inspired by Pink Floyd's Wishing You Were Here, a story about two people's very different reactions to a loved one's death.

- A short inspired by the melting pot of modern humanity and America urbanism, similar to Cowboy Bebop Knockin on Heaven's Door OP. Hell, might as well use the same song and see if I can do it better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs3pYBQhtkM

What I have in my head, I think is definitely better.


We need an animator.

That was a fan-fuckin'-tastic episode of Dandy.  My wife hated it though.  Had to explain that it was very, very 80s and very, very American.

Yeah Steins Gate is really nice. I wanna play the game next and see how it is.

This season is good so far, Barakamon and Tokyo Censorship are my faves. I love the ED illustrations in Tokyo Ghoul, I'm looking forward to the BR's coming out, so we can get super high res versions of them

Hunter X Hunter was good as usual but it's been a while since I heard Leorio's voice, he sounds much scratchier than I remember, though that's probably due to him yelling 90% of the episode  :lol

The guy that did the scene from Space Dandy was also heavily involved with the OP for Ping Pong:

I haven't really had an issue w/ the look and feel of the computer animation in Sailor Moon until this most recent episode.  Sailor Mars looked godawful.  I do like that they're following the story of the manga because the art style in that can make things seem a bit jumbled when everything gets shoujo stylized during the action scenes and it's difficult for me to keep track of who is actually doing what.  I'm currently reading Volume 4 and there are some scenes where all I can make out are the sex of the participants, not who they are individually.

In other news, In Clothes Called Fat is an amazing book.  I'm very happy that Vertical is publishing josei manga.  It's one of those things which is so under served in the market.

the mecha porn and music are absolutely beautiful but every episode is the same, banager gets emo, some old guy or gal scold him, he gets his together only to fall apart at the end. repeat.

Ep3 of SM Crystal was super fly. The Negaverse stuff is easily the most interesting part of the update since we get to see the villains as actual characters and not just cartoonish bafoons.

It's a major plot point, but I still can't get over the stupidity of Luna thinking everyone BUT Usagi is the moon princess. Spoofed tremendously in SMA.

My interest in anime/manga has waned to almost nothing over the last 6 years but 2 days ago I finished reading something which reminded me of why I got into this shit in the first place. That manga was Knights Of Sidonia by the awesome Tsutomu Nihei. It is much more mainstream-friendly than his past works, but it still manages to deliver that special flavor of sci-fi that only Nihei and, to a further extent, anime/manga can provide. It was the first manga I read all year and I loved every chapter of it. I'm not sure if I will follow it monthly or if I will let a few more volumes come out before I go back to it, but this is definitely something I will stick with.

The city shots are so bad, too. Definitely a low budget show, which I don't get. Is the brand just utterly dead in Japan?

Here in America, when we're reviving shows from 20 years ago we pretty much go "Oh it's an existing franchise? Have a ton of money!" See Knight Rider, etc.

Sailor moon crystal had crazy numbers when it premiered in the west. I'm not sure why they're being so conservative about the budget. Maybe they're testing to see if there's interest and later seasons will have better budget. Then again it's Toei and they are very, very all over the place these days even with shows like One piece.

Toei probably spent their whole Sailor Moon budget drawing new transformation scenes for the second half of HapinessCharge Precure. 10 bucks just don't spend like it used to.

If being sarcastic, that's a small clip from the second episode. The series focuses on more than Tsukimoto (who is regarded as the most boring character to follow), and you kind of need to see more than a small out of context clip to get a feel for the show.

I like some of changes, like Alto explicitly choosing Sheryl in the movie, but I still feel that Michel not dying like he did in the series took away a lot.

In closing, haters gonna hate. If you can just get over the knee-jerk Ranka hate (which is justified, Team Sheryl FTW), Himu, the series really has what you're looking for.

I've always been partial to the explanation that their transformations take place in some kind of space-time bubble, and appear instantaneous to outside viewers. I think there's a couple of episodes of Sailor Moon where for time reason, it's cuts out their transformation scenes and they just kinda poof into their sailor uniforms, so that would kinda support the theory that their transformations aren't actually taking place in real-time.

The new all-CG Captain Harlock movie got added to Netflix a few days ago, so I decided to check it out. And it was actually pretty good. The CG was really nice, about on par with Square's cutscenes, and it had some great space battle action going on. The story was a bit hit-and-miss, but it was mostly able to do its job and tell a complete story about Harlock and what his whole deal is. All around it was very competent, just not necessarily anything particularly special [much like most of the rest of the movies Shinji Aramaki has made].

Getting back to the current season:

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders- I love it, but man...can we fucking get to Egypt already?   :lol

Akame Ga Kill- This is enjoyable too, but the art style and insanely violent content continue to clash in the weirdest ways to me. 
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Did not see Sheele's death coming in the last episode.  Cut in fucking half, then eaten, holy shit.
[close]

Zankyou No Terror- Starting to get bored of this.  They plant bombs and blow shit up, then suddenly want to stop their own bomb from blowing up and race to disarm it?  HUH?  My wife keeps saying that Lisa is an annoying waste of a character and needs to die already.   :o :lol

Tokyo ESP- This has been pretty fun.  It's totally X-MEN JAPAN EDITION but it's an enjoyable romp.

Aldnoah Zero- Continues to be enjoyable, and I continue to be both irked and amused by the "soldiers are dumb and get killed off quick, high school kid single-handedly stops crazy-powerful mechs" trope going on. 
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Am assuming that the princess will lend her power -or whatever it is- to the Earth side to get their own powerful mechs.
[close]

Persona 4 The Golden- Seems to be less about the actual story of P4 and more about wacky hijinx with Yu and friends.  Persona slice-of-life comedy.  Weird.

Space Dandy- Always entertaining.  Nothing to say other than I look forward to it every week, just like JoJo.

Kindaichi- Wow, did we really need an entire episode devoted to Kindaichi as a perverted little middle school student?  Did he really just take Miyuki's panties and put them on his head?  Yes, he did.   :wtf  What an odd break from tales of murder.

Essentially, their goal isn't random destruction and death, but to lead the police into digging the backgrounds of the men who ran the institute where they were kept and exposing the truth about it. Leaving behind a trail of bodies, instead of just some damaged property, would seriously hinder that goal. Five realized that and attempted to exploit it.

But there's no way some first responders weren't killed when that tower collapsed in the first episode, though.

As in the real world, it would get denied up and down by the involved parties, the police as a whole wouldn't take it seriously, and the media would be highly skeptical of the accusations of a couple of terrorists. They need the police to dig up the evidence.

This has been a really good season for good, old-fashioned fun anime that's not too embarassing:

Space Dandy season 2
Picks up where the first left off: by continuing to increase in quality. The latest episode is about Dandy starting up a rock band with the commander-in-chief of an empire, except that both of them are really stupid and constantly fight over things like the name of the band or whether their first album will come with stickers or pennants. It feels like they're working without the restraint of being forced to appeal to the most common demographics in anime by a production committee, but at the same time these are talented enough animators that they know when to restrain themselves in order to make the ideas work and not just be about throwing lots of random things at the wall.

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
Lots of shoujo cliches subverted and lampooned in the name of comedy. The whole thing is just a lot of really goofy characters playing off of each other, and it's so well done that each episode is packed full of some truly hilarious moments, and it only gets better once all the characters have been introduced into the mix. It's good, clean fun and I can't recommend it enough.

Sabagebu!
Starts as a cute-girls-doing-cute-things show about an airsoft club, but it's so much more than that. This is a straight up comedy, going far beyond the bounds of what you would expect of what initially appears to be just another dull slice-of-life, by presenting a main character who is totally unhinged and unafraid to employ violence and betrayal in getting what she wants. In another show, an MC like that might now work, but in comedy, it's hilarious. She would basically be a villain in any other show. And there's lots of reference to Western stuff, like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, and Star Wars.

Barakamon
Lots of fish-out-of-water comedy here, by taking a guy from the city and putting him a rural village populated by weirdos [except he's also a bit of weirdo himself]. It strikes a good balance between a lot of lighthearted comedy and heartfelt drama, without letting the drama become too heavy-handed or melodramatic. It's a more realistic show than the others and that definitely works in its favor, by being a breath of fresh air in an industry where everything tends to skew towards being over-the-top in one way or another, but that never gets in the way of the show being a lot of fun to watch.

Space Dandy and Barakamon are streaming on Funimation; Nozaki-kun and Sabagebu! are streaming on Crunchyroll.

I gotta try Sabagebu again, then.  Wife did not like it at all so I guess I'm watching it solo.  (We usually watch stuff together in the evenings)

Barakamon


From the title, I thought this would have been something like Pokemon, only all of the animals looked like Baraka and Mileena from Mortal Kombat.

so i've recently discovered a super trashy movie called riki oh, supposedly it's a very gory movie but the special effect are so badly done i've laughed for 10 minute straight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-hrWCgWkAA&oref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dq-hrWCgWkAA&has_verified=1

so how does this tie to the anime thread? well it's because the movie it's based on a manga! so i've been reading that, there isn't a lot to say about it, it's pretty much FOTS so there is no real reason to read it unless you are into goofy gore,manly tears or cheesy fights, surprisingly the movie above follows it better than what i would have tought :lol

I dunno how I feel about it. I love the characters. But without the murder mystery it just seems sorta weak. Persona 4 was equal parts about the characters and the mystery. Without the mystery it just seems like it's walking on one leg.

Are you talking about the end of the 26-episode series or the 10-episode OVA sequel? I haven't seen the latter, but I've heard it isn't as good as the former.

Starting to get a little frustrated with Baby Steps. I'm all for pitting Eiichiro against tough opponents, but god damn throw the poor guy a bone from time to time too. I wanted to see him win at least one important match before the season ended, I can't see anything else interesting happening in the two episodes that are left.

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.

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.

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?

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. :fbm

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.

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.

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!   :lol

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

I didn't even mind Hibito surviving really. He's an alright character, its just that Mutta is way more interesting and no one cares about Hibito eloping with a 15 year old in Russia. At least it's thankfully short in the manga, but the bit in Russia and his whole PD thing dragged for way too long in the anime. All for the best that he's kicked out of the picture right afterward.

The Mr. Hibbit filler in every episode could go die in a fire though. :maf

Edit: I can understand wanting to have attractive looking characters in animu/tv/film whatever but this is just stupid. I'm trying to understand why people are hyped for this anime. The gundam designs look like shit. The character designs are obnoxious. These kind of animu shenanigans make me wanna quit anime altogether.

And those dancing animations above are just fucking weird.

wat.  What's wrong with the character designs?  Characters look happier, more laid back and fun like Turn A characters or Overman King Gainer characters.  There's room for fun in Gundam, ya know?  If you want generic anime character designs just look at Gundam Build Fighters.

I actually wonder if part of the issue for NA is due to the fact that we share the same Blu-ray region with Japan. Australia, France and the UK have streaming AND DVD/BD rights for G-Reco.

Personally I think G-Reco has pretty great character designs and art direction in general. I think Kenichi Yoshida has pretty stylish and good looking character designs. I mean I bought Arc Rise Fantasia just for them. They don't look generic and have actual personality.

I don't really know what to expect, but I sure am going to watch it.

Thoughts on new anime:

-Terra-Formers: Hey, this isn't a show about transforming cockroaches.  Not sure about this yet, based on the first episode.  If you're going to be hyper-violent, why the hell are you going to then have everything censored to the point that the entire screen is covered up?

-Gundam Reconguista in G: Are those Akiman character designs?!  Oh shit!  Like the old-school look of the show.  The plot was kind of hard to follow and just didn't seem very well written.  The Indian girl shouting "G!" the entire time was fucking annoying.  Dunno about this one.  Will keep watching for at least a few more episodes.  I see #2 is already available.

-Cross-Ange: Guessing this one must be this season's fan service show.  It appears to be scantily-clad girls piloting mechs from previews and the show's opening, but instead focuses on the main character going from princess of magic-user land to thrown-away prisoner on island for non-magic users.  Basically civilization is made up of people using mana and those who can't use it are considered "monsters" and have no human rights.  They are then quarantined to an island, where they are trained to be soldiers and pilot mecha to kill monsters.  Uh...OK?  Cool I guess.  Except that we don't see any of that in this episode.  Instead, the princess is revealed to be a non magic user (spoiler?  Not really...it's obvious immediately from the start) and is exiled to the island.  They rip her clothes off and proceed with a "medical exam," then leave her naked on the floor in a cell.  WHAT THE FUCK?   It's also hard to feel sympathy for her based on the way she treats the mother of a baby found to be the same earlier in the episode. 

EDIT: Apparently the end is supposed to be some sort of procedure where something is done to the main character's spine...except there's no explanation given and it totally looks like anal-fisting.   :lol :yuck

-Madan no Ou to Vanadis: Something tells me this might be another fan-servicey and possible harem-like garbage show.  The main character is the count of a territory and his country attacks another country, which soundly defeats them despite the numbers being 25,000 to 5,000.  This is because MOE VALKYRIE-LIKE GIRLS GO UGUUUU and win on the battlefield.  He gets captured and sort of wanders around freely because the UGUU Valkyrie chick likes him or whatever. 

-Shingeki no Bahamut: Is this based on a card game or something?  Anyway, I liked this.  Pretty simple story, but I like the character design and animation a lot.  Great use of facial expressions.  Stands out.

-Gugure! Kokkuri-san: Fun n' cute little show, filled with jokes. 

-Grisaia no Kajitsu: WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN the anime.  Starts out as something that clearly must be a visual novel adoption.  Serious-looking guy transfers to huge school that has...five students.  All the girls look MOE/UGUU~ and don't even appear to be drawn in the same style as the main character.   :lol  It's all stupid dating sim-like garbage with with panty shots.  My favorite part was the main character returning to his dorm and wondering if all the girls were masturbating in their rooms.   :lol :dizzy :japancry :lol My wife and I both said we wouldn't be watching this...
..and then at the end, it's like this turns into a completely different show and totally crazy shit happens, suddenly making it interesting.

Amagi Brilliant Park was OK. Maybe it will get better.

With Parasyte, I already know the whole story since I read the manga back in the MIXX Zine days.  I kept wondering why they changed the arm that got infected in the anime until it hit me that the English manga was reversed.   :lol  No more "Lefty."  It's weird that they changed some of the character designs, too.

i've been reading sanctuary, it's the story of two mans who decide to become powerfull figures in japan in order to revolutionize it, one of them called hojo decide to become a yakuza and the other named asami becomes a politician and the manga details their rise in power as hojo goes from being a simple grunt to a mafia boss while asami goes from a simple secretary to have his own political party... the art is really good and is actualy realisticaly drawn compared to your average manga but to be honest the story isn't that interessing, 75% of the manga can be described as either hojo or asami delivering passionate speech about how this political/mafia group should totaly join them and help them raising in power and prestige and wouldn't you know? it works everytime! these guys are so charismatic and perfect in every way that i think they could found a new religion if they wanted

at least since hojo is a yakuza there is actual yakuza drama, people gets shot... someone gets murdered... betrayal happens... but everytime the manga switch to asami,it's suddenly just a bunch of old mens talking about thing i'm not sure someone would find interessing even if they were actualy interessed in japanese politic

The service has been streaming the same censored version that broadcast stations in Japan have been airing (with obscured scenes of violence) since September 26.

The story of Yū Sasuga and Kenichi Tachibana's original, graphically violent manga begins in the year 2577, hundreds of years after scientists sent cockroaches and mold to terraform Mars. However, when the first manned ships land on Mars, they encounter large humanoid cockroaches with great strength, and are wiped out.

This is a pretty old manga series, Magus.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised it got scanned, but I read through the whole thing in English back in the mid-90's.  It got a so-so anime adaption and a live action movie (the guy who plays Asami is perfect, but Hojo looks nothing like his manga counterpart) too.  This series is still nowhere near as fucked up as Crying Freeman.

Garo - Blood, sex, and CG robot suits. The story takes inspiration from the Spanish Inquisition's witch hunts, except that the witches are actually witches and they're the ones who are keeping a horde of nasty demons in check [except nobody else really knows that, hence the hunts]. The character's really stand out here, the have a distinctive flat quality to them and were created by Shaman King-author Hiroyuki Takei, though the show itself is an original creation. The first episode only gives us the very basics of the story and a simple introduction to the goods guys and the bad guys, but lack of embarassing animu hijinks and the more adult storyline make this one to keep an eye on.

Psycho Pass season 2 - Despite bringing in new writers and promoting the assistant director from the previous season, Psycho Pass is still pretty much Psycho Pass. There are new characters and a new villain to fight, and Akane is now the hard-boiled, self-confident detective that the end of season 1 told us she would become. It could still end up being just retread of the ideas already covered, but it'll still be worth watching.

Parasyte - Late-80's body horror in anime form! While adding a modern setting and updated character designs, Parasyte keeps the qualities that made the manga popular back in its day: creepy body horror and flashes of brutal violence. Madhouse pulled out all the stops here and gave this some very slick animation [minus a distance shot with some CG pedestrians that looked pretty awful], and they've given the characters enough life that the changes in designs don't become a problem like they could have. The star of the show is Migi, the parasyte that takes over the main character's right hand [but missed taking over his brain], who provides both the action of the show and the humor, oddly enough.

Rage of Bahamut - Why am I talking about a show based on a F2P card battle game? Well, it's partially because it has some of the best animation this season, enough to rival even some theatrical releases], but also because it's actually a pretty fun show! Mappa is really on fire this season, with both this and Garo going simultaneously. I don't know how they managed to get this kind of money, but I'm glad they did. The action here is fast and furious, the characters move fluidly and have a ton of character, and it's just FUN. There's a lady who can turn into a demon and her demon costume is a bit much, but that's really the only thing here that could remotely be problematic [and it's not really THAT bad]. I really doubt they can keep this up for the whole season, but it should still be a ride worth staying on for now.

Shirobako - Cute high school girls doing cute things! Oh wait, they graduated and now they're adults in the work place. This is an anime about the process of making anime. While it's not quite as madcap as Animation Runner Kuromi, it still mixes the same reverence for the end product with the trials and tribulations of desperately trying to meet the near-impossible deadlines necessary to get a 13-episode anime series on TV.

Been a really good season so far, way better than I thought initially.

well you made me curious about crying freeman so i gave a read to that too.....

...and i give up, it's like the most awfull kung-fu B movie ever if it was an actual manga, i like how in this manga mortaly wounding a goon is like a serious strategy to find the boss of an organization as the goon will always run straight up to his superior who can therefore be wounded until he too run to his superior! i simply can't take this level of stupid....

*sigh* all i wanted to know was learning more about the source of this image

anyway talking about stupid thing i've been switched to a comedy manga called "my grandpa stories can't be this weird" it's basicaly japanese folktales if a lot of non-sense humor was injected in them, for example the first chapter is momotaro, except instead of being momotaro, it's an anthropomorphized QR-code called qu-taro, japanese folktales have always piqued my interess and the level of non-sense is high-enough to be funny but not totaly random like says... bobobo, so in the end you have a pretty stupid, but easy and enjoyable read

Seems like you didn't get to the real STUPID yet.  While this series starts out just being that typical 'adult' manga mix of sex n' violence, it pretty much turns into just sex.  Freeman ends up becoming the desire of every woman in the series and there is this ridiculous storyline where a cult that opposes his assassin organization comes up with a plan to create a Freeman lookalike, who will take the real one's place.  They kidnap Freeman, drug him, and then take two volunteers and give them his face/body tattoos. 

BUT WAIT

What's the most important thing about a body double?  Why, how well they can fuck, of course!  The cult leader says that they need to convince Freeman's wife, so they get the drugged-up Freeman to have lots of sex sessions with a member's wife (the corrupt cop and Ryuji 'The Blade's' wife from part one-- I can't believe I remember all this  :lol) and there's chapter after chapter of everyone watching them have sex, being all impressed with Freeman.   :lol 

BUT WAIT

Freeman, that sly devil, has not only been resistant to the drugs this whole time, but has been going along with everything to learn more about the cult.  He also refuses to ejaculate!   :lol  The cult needs a sperm sample so this is a problem.  The cult wife ends up jerking off some kid  (:o) for samples instead.  The cult wife gets addicted to dat Freeman D and wants his babies, so he tells her he'll cum if she helps him escape. 

SO THEN

Freeman kills the double that was going to take his place, takes the high ranking cult members to his base, reveals himself as the real one, and kills them all.  So all that other shit...was completely pointless.  I guess the writer (Kazuo Koike on this one?) just wanted to see a lot of fucking or something.  I had been reading this series as it was being translated back then, and lost a lot of interest in it after this.  The series ended shortly after anyway.  I'd pretty much say that with Crying Freeman, reading the first one or two volumes is enough and forget the rest unless you want to see Crying Freeman: Hentai Edition.

Yeah the final chapter is great. If you were ever to re-read the series again, it would make things even more interesting because you'd see things through her perspective.

A year-long subscription to Funimation's streaming service only costs about $55, or about the price of a single show on Bluray. It's definitely worth getting, especially since they have a pretty big backlog of older shows, too.

Garo was pretty good, yeah.  Was surprised to find out it's based on a live-action Power Rangers rip-off show.

That Twintails show is entirely fucked up.  Note that the red-haired woman is the main character's (red haired dude that lusts after twin tails, who transforms into loli twin-tailed superhero) mother.

I haven't watched the later series but the first Garo toku was pretty good (or I thought as much at the time). IIRC it was designed to basically be a kamen rider/sentai style show but a bit more graphic for a slightly older audience. It's still a toku though so it's still silly as hell.

It died for awhile but they brought it back recently, got 2 new seasons (probably more now) and then this anime.

Both of these series are good if you have an interest in yaoi or anything that's gay. Both shows start off similar with two young males getting "overly familiar" with each other if you know what I mean. Pico and Tamotsu are just like Kirito and Klein! In both series the two males share a very passionate relationship with each other and it's just so beautiful! It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will most definitely make you horny! If you like either one of these series then I guarantee you will like the other!

My g/f and I have been watching Madoka Magica. It's her first anime (apart from when we saw The Wind Rises in theater) and I was surprised she really took a liking to it. Up to episode 10 (of 12) and shit has really been picking up... the big plot twist hit and I just love when stuff gets all insane. And the scenes where they fight the witches are just sooo straight-up Persona. Great show.

Gogeta was introduced in a Dragonball Z movie way before GT was a reality. It was that Fusion Reborn movie.

I'm kind of a special fellow lord when it comes to Dragonball, never watched GT cause lol no.

On another note, SSJ4 was terrible  :yuck

I read all of Dragonball but watched very little of the anime adaption.  Read most of what would be DBZ and saw everything up to Buu.  Got bored at that point and never saw all the episodes, although I did see the end stuff.  Watched most of the movies.  I love how one of the first few movies has Goku going "Super Saiyan", but it was before the look of that transformation came out, so it was just a red glow, lol.

Anyway, Dragonball >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dragonball Z.  DBZ should have ended after everything with Freiza and certainly should have stopped after Cell. 

I did see a big chunk of GT.  Back in the day the store I worked at had bootleg copies of all the DBZ/GT stuff that hadn't aired here yet and I watched most of it with shitty subtitles.  I didn't watch the beginning stuff but I will give GT this- The Baby saga was pretty fun for the most part (EVERYONE vs. Goku...guess who wins ololol) and I liked the Super 17 stuff, but the last story arc with the evil dragons was pretty bad.

Enough is enough already, but if they were to 'reboot' Dragonball, I hope that they would get rid of all of the characters and start all over again, with the only link to the previous series being the dragonballs themselves.  I'm sure Toriyama doesn't want to do that shit though.

Otomo made the movie well before the manga was finished, so you're really only getting a slice of the complete story. Similar situation with Miyazaki's Nausicaa. But the anime's still GOAT-tier, though:

Broly is overrated, never saw Second Coming or Bio-Broly though.

Although, even saying that, Broly might be my favorite of the OG DBZ flicks (not counting History of Trunks and Bardock of course.) (I also haven't seen Fusion Reborn or Wrath of the Dragon, which are supposed to be better.)

Broly is easily my favorite thing to come from the movies. He just exists to fuck shit up and look badass doing it. Since most of them shits don't count anyway, all I really wanted out of the movies is some action that looks like it was made a bigger budget than the tv show.

BioBroly though  :kobeyuck

Ghost in the Shell has a lot less violence than Akira [though a lot more casual, non-sexualized nudity], but it's got a dense philosophical slant that turns off a lot of people who might otherwise be interested. If the movie doesn't do anything for you, try watching the TV series.

People like subtlety and not being hit over the head every 5 seconds with awkward humor or a restatement of the plot or the character's morals or what the characters are feeling.  So that's why the GITS movie has a wider audience than most other anime, but is lost on a lot of anime fans.  They don't care about the art style of the manga or what ever meta crap that fan culture obsesses over.

Even shitty comic book movies aren't as hamfisted as your average anime :yeshrug

So it turns out Berserk is mostly on youtube. I've watched the first few episodes, and it's pretty fun. The low budget is the biggest flaw. I like the characters and the world a lot. Guts is a pretty great protagonist so far.

You're gonna regret starting Berserk after you watch the final episode.

It's the kind of movie that not everybody likes, but it really hit all the right notes for me and that's something that came out more during the watch than after the first time I watched it.

An entire arc in 13 eps? I can fuck with that.  :obama

Just getting started on a couple old series: Full-Metal Alchemist, and thinking about Urusei Yatsura or Ranma... again. My son digs FMA after the first two eps, so I’m sticking with that for now.

Also enjoyed the art of Mad House’s HELLS, which had character designs by my hero, Yasushi Hirasawa.

Urusei Yatsura and Ranma are both so good.  I started reading Ranma when I was around 12 and it's what got me into all this manga/anime crap.  I only saw a handful of UY TV episodes but Ranma's animation quality takes a major nosedive after the first two seasons, IIRC.  It got so bad I stopped buying the tapes way back when.  Would recommend the first season of Ranma, the second if you really like it, then all the OVAs and movies.  The manga is much better.

Oshii went back and forth between goofy and serious a lot earlier in his career, but even before GitS it was becoming clear that he wanted to focus more on being serious. Outside of his live-action movies, I've enjoyed most of what he's done, so whatever.

Kinda on a Netflix anime kick

Noragami This hits a genre that I've always enjoyed. I like the gods are real and depend on you for their success sort of deal. Kinda like a low rent kawaii Neil Gaiman story. Enjoyed the first season.

Psycho Pass a couple episodes in on this one, the premise is pretty interesting.

What else on there is worth my time? I've also already seen Attack on Titan and Knights of Cydonia

Did I ever talk about Expelled From Paradise?  No?  Let me talk about Expelled From Paradise.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/22/Expelled_From_Paradise_Promotional_Poster.png)

This is a recently-released film that takes place far in the future.  Most of humanity has left Earth, but instead of exploring the stars, they all live in a massive space station called DEVA.  The kicker here is that everyone on this station has no physical body-- the humans here have had their brains 'digitized' and everyone lives in virtual reality, sort of like a voluntary Matrix.  A hacker gets into this environment and is found to be on Earth, so DEVA sends agents to investigate. 

The station has records of everyone's DNA, so it grows bodies for these agents to use when on Earth.  The main character, Angela Balzac (rhymes with "ball sack"), is eager to find the hacker first and the biggest share of the reward...credits, or free space, or whatever the hell currency is for them, so she doesn't wait for her body to grow to adult size and instead goes down to Earth in the body of a 16 year-old, AKA this is anime, so we can't have an adult big-tittied blonde woman running around and instead need a teenage big-tittied blonde girl with silly long hair and a higher-pitched voice running around in a 'futuristic' leotard-plugsuit thing, that looks entirely out of place on Earth (where the people are wearing regular ol' clothes) and gives the animators excuses to show jiggling titties and ass shots whenever possible.

This isn't moe crap though.  Angela meets her Earth-dwelling partner Dingo, an older more "normal" dude who helps her investigate the hacker.  The movie is pretty much split between Angela having no idea of what it's like to have a physical body and experiencing stuff for the first time and then action scenes, which I won't go into detail over because of spoilers.  Ditto for the hacker.  There's some cool mecha designs and the movie was fairly enjoyable, although the subtitled version I watched wasn't that great, but was serviceable.   

The movie had some hype behind it (maybe it was because of the animation, which is all CG) but I thought it was just decent.  Reminded me of a better, slightly less serious version of the recent Appleseed prequel movie, I.E. people running around in the desert ruins of old, destroyed cities, battling robots and shit. 

Spoilers on the plot/ending if anyone cares:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
The hacker is actually an AI that has gained sentience/emotion.  It is actually the AI of a massive space ark, designed for space exploration, whose construction was abandoned, presumably in favor of DEVA, a long time ago.  The AI has spent 100+ years gathering materials and is using an old missile launching site to send up materials to the ark, which is in a functional state and cloaked.  In an all-too predictable manner, DEVA's leaders are the bad guys and don't want the ark to leave.  Angela and Dingo help the AI to get the materials back to the ark and fight off other DEVA agents, who are all also scantily-clad women in mechs.  (Since no one else is depicted this way, I guess that's a DEVA thing.)  In the end, nobody goes with the AI on the ark, but it's basically said to be more "human" than anyone else anyway.  Angela will never return to DEVA and will stay on Earth, hence the title.  Yay and stuff.

The new movie is being produced in celebration of 25 years of Ghost in the Shell. It will premiere in Japan sometime early this Summer, and will be handled once again by the Production I.G. studio, which has a long history with the franchise.

Tow Ubukata, who wrote the Ghost in the Shell: Arise movies, will be writing the screenplay for the new film as well. Meanwhile, Kazuya Nomura (Robotics;Notes anime) will serve as director. Japanese recording artist Cornelius (GITS: Arise) will provide music.

Post by: bork on January 11, 2015, 07:43:40 PM
My thoughts on recent shows.  Is it just me, or is there way more harem/fan servicey stuff this time around?

New:

Absolute Duo: High school boys and girls with special abilities, that manifest in the form of weapons, enter a special school that trains them.  The main character is an "irregular" because he calls up a shield instead of a weapon.  He also gets paired up with Scandinavian girl who says "Ja" all the time.  Likely to end up being a harem show with fan service all over the place.  Nothing particularly special.

Kantai Collection: Based on the online card game of the same name.  Basically old WW2 era battleships are anthropomorphized into various types of anime girl stereotypes and fight each other.   I like the way that aircraft carriers are turned into archers, whose arrows turn into little planes piloted by little people.   :-[  If you've ever seen anything for Kantai Collection online, you'd expect it to have Queen's Blade levels of fan service, but it had very little.  Kind of surprising.   :lol  The first episode was basically "moe girl who has never been in a battle before wants to do better and fight with sempai, uguu, etc."

Yuri Kuma Arashi: WHAT THE FUCK DID I WATCH?  :lol

Shinmai Maou No Testament: More fighting and harem?  More fighting and harem.  I liked this more than Absolute Duo, at least, and liked how the show had several fun twists.  It looks like it's just going to be harem-comedy crap at first but is something totally different.  Something tells me it will probably still have a lot of that though.  If you want to know what the twists are:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
The story starts out with the main character's father telling him he's getting remarried.  His bride-to-be had to go overseas, so her two daughters will be living with them.  There's lots of "KYAA! PERVERT!!" stuff going on with the older of the two sisters and the main character.  The father has to leave to go overseas, too, then we get twist #1- The two girls are not related and there is no mother-- they used mind control to make the father think this.  The older "sister" is actually the daughter of a demon king and heir to the demon empire.  The younger one is a loli-succubus or something.  They use magic to command the main character to leave the house to them and go live with other relatives.

This leads to twist #2- The main character is unaffected by their magic, much to their surprise.  Turns out he's actually a demon-hunter, as his is father, who wasn't brainwashed and was going along with the ruse, and he summons a badass sword and tells the girls he's not going anywhere and that they need to get the fuck out.

Twist #3 is that the girls are actually good.  The demon princess' father was a good guy and wanted to stop demons from fighting humans and each other, but died, and the princess was hidden away on earth.  So the main character runs out to find them and saves them from an attack by other demons.
[close]

Assassination Classroom: Bizarre comedy about this weird-looking yellow guy, who appears to be always smiling, and has lots of tentacles.  He's super-fast, super-strong, and his bodyparts regenerate.  He destroyed 70% of the moon, then threatened to destroy earth, with one request being that he be made homeroom teacher of a class in Japan.  The class has one year to try to kill him before he blows up the planet.  LOLWUT  :lol  Somehow, this premise works and was fun to watch.  Absolutely bizarre.  Oh, and the main school character looks like a girl.  I thought he was a girl for most of the episode. 

Death Parade: See that opening that Junpei posted above?  The show is nothing like it.   :lol  Weird that they went that route.  This is episode one, technically can be thought of as episode 2-- in 2013, the OVA Death Billiards came out and was the predecessor of this show.  Same characters, same premise.  Anyway, this show is about the afterlife.  The main characters are otherworldly types who make two souls, who died at the same time, play games (like darts and billiards) in other to judge whether or not they should go to heaven or hell.  The story was pretty serious and was more about the characters getting judged than the bar tender setting up the game and telling them where they were.  The games make the people getting judged feel pain and their real intentions/character comes out by the end.  Really liked this.

Koufuku Graffiti: Moe show about cooking and eating.  When the main character eats, there's this oddly erotic close-up on her mouth/lips, which another points out, so I guess it's supposed to be a joke or something.  Was cute/harmless. 

Maria the Virgin Witch: Takes place during the middle ages.  All the regular characters are depicted in a more realistic manner (proportions, clothes, etc.), although you do get "anime" faces.  Then you have the witches and succubi.  Most of them are very moe/anime looking, totally out of place, and the succubus is well...as succubus, who blatantly talks about what she does to men, in an effort to tease the titular main character.  The story goes back and forth between the humans, getting ready to and battling, again in a realistic manner, and then Maria coming and suddenly it's ANIMUUU~.  Odd. 


Continuing from the last or previous seasons:

Cross Ange: Continues to be such a fun, fucked-up show and is nothing like images might have you expect it to be.  It's a like a totally fucked-up Gundam (and is made by Sunrise, too!).

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Stardust Crusaders: Yay, Jojo's is back!  But this latest episode felt like more flavor of the week enemy Jojo's again.  Guess it's still going to be a bit longer before the bigger battles start happening.

Aldnoah Zero: This picks up 19 months after the previous episode ended.  I can't say much without spoiling everything.  Remember how the first season ended on a cliffhanger?
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Surprise, none of that shit matters!  Our main character Inaho is back -he got shot in the eye by Slain- and now as a cybernetic eye implant, and the princess has been taken by Slain, who has joined the Martians and is now a knight, and is in some sort of regeneration tank.  Meanwhile, another princess is using holographic illusion tech/magic/whatever to make herself look and sound like the princess, and broadcast messages calling the Martians to fight against Earth.  Good stuff!  Also Inaho has somehow gained the Aldnoah power from the princess.

opinions~

rolling girls - the plot is basically "magical girl gangs because reasons"  but they have my attention because dat animation

death parade - best opening? best opening. the show was pretty entertaining too.

DURARARA!! X2 - you pretty much need to watch season 1 to understand this, but I highly recommend you do so

maria the virgin witch - it was a solid first episode

assassination classroom - a very popular manga, and the anime here is pretty solid so far.

jojos bizarre adventur - its back and still good mostly

parasyte the maxim - not a new show but you should be watching this already because it is legit good still

Yeah, me too.  I'm not much of a fan of either character, so I didn't get these.  Plus the Jason one looks a little too similar to the Ghostbusters one, which I already have.

I have a bookshelf filled with Yamada Shunya figures. :uguu  All the Tekken ones, the two Street Fighter ones, and some of the DC and Marvel ones.

I don't disagree with your assessment of Shirow, but The Major's wardrobe was somewhat more conservative in the manga than in the first season of SAC.

That's because Shirow would just forget about clothes and have her in virtual lesbian threesomes instead.

It's very much a Shirow thing.  Take another Shirow series with a modern/futuristic setting, Dominion Tank Police.  Who are the scantily-clad characters?  AnnaPuma and UniPuma...android sex dolls that became criminals (and later joined the force!).  There's also Greenpeace Crolis, an artificial humanoid...air purifier. 

...But let's face facts here- Shirow is a perv.  And I'm fine with it.   :P

Gurren Lagann made me begin watching anime. It seriously is the best I've ever watched, even though I've watched a lot of good ones since then.

Mag Garden hosted a teaser website on Tuesday that reported that a new anime in the Aria franchise has been green-lit. The company removed the website soon after it opened.

According to the site, the new anime, titled Aria the Avvenire (Aria the Arrived), will be once again directed by Junichi Sato (Kaleido Star, Pretear, Sailor Moon), and will also feature the return of Reiko Yoshida (Tokyo Mew Mew, Bakuman.), who will handle scripts. The new animation's format has not been specified, although the teaser website listed that an event screening of the anime will occur on September 26. The anime is being produced as part of the larger "Ao no Curtain Call" (Blue Curtain Call) project, which celebrates 10 years since the broadcast of the first Aria anime. "All television series" will also receive a Blu-ray Box release in Japan as part of the same project.

I honestly don't know what's going on in Gundam Reconguista, but it's such a fun show to watch. Mech designs are cool, always liked the E7 character style, everything is colorful, battles seem to happen just because, it's mostly lighthearted, etc. I just can't keep track of all the new terms they've introduced and the goals of every faction. Oh well.

Been watching this, GBF: Try, Aldnoah Zero, and Cross Ange weekly. I can't remember the last time I had this many mech shows to watch at once.

I'm all caught up on Parasyte, at least what's available on Crunchyroll. So far, this is one of the best shows ever. It's also become very Resident Evil-esque (games, not movies) over the last 10 episodes or so. The concept is actually a lot like Mikami's original concept for RE4, where Leon would gain superpowers as a result of partial infection by some new umbrella virus.

Side note: the way Migi says "Shinichi" cracks me up every time he says it.

Parasyte is so good. I'm bummed that the latest episode ended on a cliffhanger and now I gotta wait until next week to see what happens.

http://www.animemaru.com/new-episode-of-law-and-order-svu-focuses-on-otaku-culture/

Quote
The most recent episode of the NBC crime drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit has touched off intense discussion in the anime community. The episode, titled “Loliconvict”, featured detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Tutuola (Ice-T) pursuing an illicit doujinshi ring. The episode takes the detectives to an anime convention where they attend a boring panel discussion on the topic “what the hell is moe, anyway?”, and to several basements packed to the rafters with idol figures and dakimakura.

Throughout the episode, the agents crack down on otaku and the recent  “moe” phenomenon, hinted to be synonymous with child pornography. Otaku, the episode explains, are dangerous reclusive criminals who peddle explicit cartoons. Agent Tutuola apprehends one otaku early in the episode and uncovers his harem of wives (known as “waifu”) before remarking that the man’s waifu were “shit.”

While many members of the anime community criticized the episode for inaccurately portraying anime fans as sexually deviant misogynist polygamist socially inept criminal weirdos, the writing staff insists that the episode was carefully researched.

“Our writers spent hours poring over Anitwitter, /a/, and several major anime websites in order to make the episode as believable as possible,” episode director Warren Leight told Anime Maru.

“In one scene, Detective Tutuola says that he read on ANN that Kirino was, in fact, best OreImo. That’s actually something we really saw on that website. See what I mean? We are committed to being authentic.”

 :uguu

They should really do this. I want to know Ice-T's favorite waifu.

I noticed the recap episodes/reused footage in the series a lot more on this watch, but I think I appreciated the show more than I did the first time.  particularly after the whole moe/uguu boom.  I'll take pseudo-deep existential crisis grimdark stuff over that.

Eva 25-26 is a case study in a production going off the rails, whether because of budget or lack of clear vision or eccentric talents not being properly reigned in, and should be treated as such.

There's like three minutes of fan service out of 26 20-something minute episodes.  It's really that much of a turn-off to you?  Give me a break.

The most recent Parasyte was nuts. Who is this Tyrant dude tanking shotgun blasts?

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Gotou/Miki. He's the parasyte that Shinichi fought in an earlier episode and ended up just having to run away from, because he's actually five parasytes spliced together. Remember, it's the human part of the parasyte that's weak, hence why the human heart is being targeted by the SWAT guys with their auto-shotguns. But Gotou/Miki has very little human parts left, or maybe none at all, and is thus far more difficult to injure.

They're two personalities in the same body. Shinichi fought the Miki personality, who controlled 3 of the 5 parasytes [while the other two were asleep]. Right now, it's Gotou in control, with [presumably] all five parasytes awake.

Aren't the people complaining there about "white people writing about another culture" the same people who get up in arms about them [i.e. white people] not having enough diversity in their works? Really, though, if people only wrote about things they'd directly experienced with characters that were solely based on themselves, the creative world would be a far duller place.

I kind of want to give the TV show a rewatch too (despite that half of it is recycled animation). I really didn't feel I properly understood a whole bunch of things the first time around, like the Miki/Kozue and Juri/Shiori relationships or the whole Mikage story or or or, plus it seems like it could be interesting to watch the first half of the series in light of the revelations near the end.

Gundam Unicorn

Thought it was gonna be like the modern 0083, great visuals, giant mecha, dumb story/characters, but it's actually alright.  Like mid-tier Gundam imo.  The final 90 movie was epic and satisfying even if all the full frontal stuff is nonsense and all the fights came down to space magic and no actual pilot skills or strategy.  Was better than I expected.

Finally got around to watching GITS: Arise...

I mean, it's not bad, but it really lacks identity and there didn't seem to be any sort of overarching story or philosophical motivation behind the political side of things. Motoko's character is fairly well done though, with a believable level of recklessness and naivety (not much, but just enough) given she's younger. You can understand some of her events being partly why she's the cynic we see in SAC.

FWIW, the first episode is pretty good, but should've been the launchpad as opposed to being the best of the four.

Last two animes I watched were

Knights of Sidonia. I came in expecting nothing, and came out pleasantly surprised. It wasn't incredible, but not bad. :leon

Then I did a binge of Trigun. First time I watched it. :lawd

Wife's on a moe kick. We watched K-on together. I actually really liked the first season the second season though just lost all steam all together.

there's a movie too, it's pretty good. don't know if you'd like it if you didn't like the slower/slice of life-er s2 though, but it's worth watching.

A lot of nice shows I've seen thus far: Arslan, Seraph, Triage X(lol the censorship), Plastic Memories, Blood Blockade Battlefront. Surprisingly I liked Plastic Memories the most.

While details are scarce thus far, the main character, "Puritan" — a bespectacled middle school student — and her older brother, Kaikakuha-kun ("Reformed Church"), have been introduced.

Aldnoah Zero: Finished watching this last night.  I liked this show but one thing that kind of made no sense to me was Slaine's heel turn into the total badguy.  It kind of made no sense.  The ending was satisfying.

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? I think we made it about five minutes into this before my wife my told me to cut it off.  Note that she sat through and enjoyed Triage X.  The goddess girl who is already massively popular with fans turned her right off.    Also, I have to say that I was disappointed by the premise of the show.  Its title made me think this would be about some overly-confident asshole who trolls around looking for girls.  Instead he's some weak little man-boy.   :(

Punchline:  This show was bizarre but funny.  Didn't care about the female characters and just liked the antics between the male character and the ghost-cat.

Rekan: This is another comedy show about a girl who can see and talk to ghosts (and animals).  Kind of "slice of life" style with most of the laughs coming from her classmates being affected by the ghosts instead of her.  Seemed OK.

Shokugeki No Soma: Watched the first two episodes.  This is a "cooking battle" show that like another food-related show from last season (forgot the name), has this oddly erotic undertone whenever female characters eat something good.  Seriously, this is easily the most perverted show of the season. There is one scene in the first episode where the antagonist essentially has an orgasm from eating Soma's food.  But what made this hilarious is that her male companions were also depicted in the same way!   :lol

It's a Japanese anime based on a Japanese light novel, you knew it was never going to be the former.

Gonna guess she liked Triage X not having a man-baby main character and the action.  I warned her about the LOLBOOBS content beforehand.  It isn't the boobs and whatnot that's the problem, it's the stereotypical "AM I CUTE MOE MOE UGUU" shit that's the turn-off.

Blood Blockade Battlefront

The creator of Kyousougiga working from a manga by the creator of Trigun and it REALLY WORKS. It's got good action, humor, fun characters, eye-popping visuals, a jazzy soundtrack, and some genuine creativity. Seriously, just go watch it right now, because this is something that's actually worth watching.

A lot. Like you said, the sudden change in character for Slaine. The whole battle that took place on earth right before the final battle that no one remembers. Robot Inaho loltastic robot take over and removing his robotic eye with zero consequences. Abandoning the moon base only to flip flop for the stupid one on one final battle (and nerfing Slaine along with it). Peace is obtainable easily by marrying some dude who was just introduced right before the final episode. Blaming Slaine for everything even for the genocide done by the counts in season 1 and to top it all locking him in some sex dungeon and telling him that yup, bitch princess wanted this for you lolol.

I could go on and on but I prefer to forget I ever watched this turd.

P.S. No one died from the humans and all of Slaine guys got beat by teenagers and one drunk guy.

Parasyte has a pretty left-wing view on things, specifically that humanity is screwing over the rest of the world and doesn't really care much about the consequences, which is definitely in line with the themes of a lot of Miyazaki's movies [man/technology v. nature].

Watch episode 23 just so you know how they get to the island. Then, skip past 24-29. Watch 30 and 31 since there's actually a bit of story and background stuff that's not too bad, definitely far better than the previous six episodes. DO NOT watch episodes 32-34, the Africa arc. They are SO BAD and almost completely ruin every single character in the entire show. I mean it, just avoid them entirely.

Also, there is a movie sequel to the series. Don't watch that either.

Yeah, it was made obvious early on she was going to die but it seemed like there was still time. Still had time left and a surgery to maybe buy some more time.
And then bam, the surgery to possibly extend her life ends up killing her right then. I was expecting her to die before long but at that point in time felt like a gutpunch.

Yeah that part's fine. I just feel like they could have done more with the twist than they did.

Though to be fair, the anime did the ending slightly better than the manga by making it all one episode and making X's fate not as immediately obvious until the part with the letter. The manga's last chapter is entirely the letter reading bit while the chapter before it is the end of the piano recital. Kind of a wimpy way to end things after how great the buildup is during the whole time Kousei is playing.

The ending to Vanilla Ice part 2 was pretty fucking intense, had me wanting the next episode really badly. I know what Dio's stand does (from exposure to other media), but I have no idea how stuff is gonna play out, nor did I know which characters kicked the bucket along the way.

I thought for sure Polnareff was gonna die to Vanilla Ice. Also for Abdol to come back via some hijinx like last time, but nope. He and Iggy gone, just like that.  :tocry

Finished Sword Art Online II over the weekend.  I liked that this was a more varied season compared to the first one, but a lot of stuff felt kind of recycled from the first storyline.  The last story arc hit me right in the feels.   :'(

I know there's more books and I'm sure a season 3 is coming.  I hope that they move away from medieval fantasy games and try something different, like the gun game MMORPG did.  Speaking of which, I loved how Kirito was like the only one who went for a sword weapon in the game.   :lol

It's the only contribution I have to offer.

Other than brief reminiscing about recording the OVA on VHS when it ran on German television in the middle of the night. Still have those tapes in a shoebox somewhere, too. I also have Evangelion, Bubblegum Crisis, Armitage III, MD Geist, pantyshot-galore Agent Aika and some others I'm forgetting. I basically taped everything they aired. Stayed up for it, too, so that I could cut out the commercials. :stahp
They also aired some blantant hentai anime that had the explicit scenes removed. Something about a dragon hunter. They did the same thing with porn. Picked something that had a very involved story so that they could sanitize it without losing too much runtime. I remember seeing one where the actors's shadows on a nearby wall clearly revealed that they were having actual intercourse. I bet someone was really proud of that. :dead There was talk that they showed explicit scenes a couple times as well, but I never caught any of that.

Them animu, eh?

I saw some of AD police, with a robot cop having a tongue or something like that (?) found it a bit meh, too serious and dark without self awareness for my tastes IIRC, hence why I query about the original series, seems more light hearted. AD Police was supervised by Shinji Aramaki and I'm not too hot for him in an overseeing capacity, probably because his efforts as a director on Appleseed are rather mediocre considering the source material.

BG is generally not too dark or serious, although I found episodes 5-6 to be overly melodramatic and a huge step down from the rest of the episodes.

So because there's a new Ushio and Tora anime coming out soon, I decided to check out the original OVA series first before the new one arrived and I really enjoyed it. The series is a nice action show with nice fight scenes, nice music and nice voice acting(I watched with the english dub).

 I know they're probably others but this is the only series I can think of that has a tsundere monster/demon MC "I-I'll only save your life because I have to be the one that kills you" and it happens a handful of times, I can't imagine how much it happens throughout the entire series which is based off a 33 volume series.

The new series is done by MAPPA(Shingeki no Bahumut,Garo and Punchline):

Just watched the first two OVAs of Ghost in the Shell : Arise and it is utterly mediocre. Poor production values, bland art, music so ambient you won't even remember it was there and a story that goes down the most predictable road with a shitty case of prequilitis because God forbid characters existing without daddy issues I guess. Unfortunately, the arching story gets no help from the individual plots, rehash of the same 6 Shirow stories but with terrible pacing and lacking any flair (Action scenes are passable). There lies probably the issue, there's really only so much you can do with this fictional universe and Stand Alone Complex already did it in probably the most truthful adaptation of the manga possible.

Maybe they should focus on doing a decent Appleseed adaptation  :-\

I like the two OAV series from 89 & 93, no masterpieces by any means but they're pretty funny and in that true to the manga. Didn't watch the 2006 ones, this whole CGI/3D/celshaded looks fugly as shit.

Shirow being lost to hentai lust is one of the great tragedy of our time  :(

As for GitS, I guess an anime adaptation of the trainwreck that is Man-Machine Interface would be funny. But Solid State Society already picked the few worthwhile ideas that were there, I think.

I posted about this in the gaming forum, but I just finished playing through the Full Metal Panic story post-anime in Super Robot Wars Z3-2.  If you're like me and only watched the FMP S1/S2/Fumoffu anime then the final story arc that wasn't animated and concludes the series (potentially S3 if KyoAni ever wants to make it) is pretty fucking crazy and totally different than S1/S2/Fumoffu.  I'd say it definitely jumps the shark by the end and goes from being a down to earth semi-realistic robot show to being halfway to Rahxephon/Unicorn Gundam and totally ridiculous (though generic) plot with the mechs suddenly turning into Dendrobium Gundam stuff.

On one hand, the plot isn't very good.  Otoh, I'd like to see them animate the season just to see these mechs animate and do crazy action stuff.  Plus the finale is pretty satisfying for Sousuke/Kaname.

Watched some new animu.  Mostly Joe's recommended smut list.

Monster Musume- Barely made it through this.  It's just awful.  At least they tried to address issues of discrimination, but a lot of the designs are just gross.

Shimoneta- Takes place in a world where smut/foul language is banned and "terrorists" fight THE MAN using dirty jokes, pictures, and nudity.  Looks fun.

Bikini Warriors- Was hoping for some Queen's Blade style LOL action, but instead this is just like four minutes of fan-service.  I don't get the point of stuff like this.  Why even bother making an anime?

My Wife is the Student Council President- Watched the uncensored version.  It's also another short series (did this even air?  Assuming it's a web show) and another tired girl jumps all over boy for no reason show.  At least the protagonist actually went in for some titty instead of acting like girls have cooties, like 99% of all the other crap like this.

Gangsta- This was awesome.  It's about two older dudes in a run-down city (can't tell what the location is supposed to be...seems like South America but most of the characters are American) accepting money to take out gangsters using methods that the cops wouldn't do.

Dragonball Super- We have a thread for this and I posted my thoughts already, but I'm underwhelmed after one episode, simply because instead of going for new stories right away, they're going to make longer, drag-on ball versions of the two recent movies' storylines to start with.  :zzz

Working!!!- It's more of the same thing.  An enjoyable little comedy romp.

Shoukugeki No Soma- Continuing from last season.  COOKING WARS!  I like this show.

Looking forward to the Prison School adaption.  Hope they don't screw it up.

Shimoneta is my favorite new show so far. Non Non Biyori S2 is my favorite overall, because I stan for slice-of-life. Himouto could be okay, but it seems like it should be a 5 minute show. At full length, it seems stretched a little thin, but I'll watch another episode or two to see if it goes anywhere.

Watched some more stuff:

God-Eater: Horriblesubs had this on their recommended list.  It shouldn't be on there.  Weird animation and garbage-tier story.

The Heroic Legend of Arslan: Just watched one episode and it seems to have little to do with the rest of the story, taking place three years before shit really starts happening.  Will watch more.

Rokka No Yuusha: Fun series.  Will keep watching.

GATE: Amazingly stars a main character who is not a teenager and is in fact 33 years old.  :o  Although he's an otaku and wants to buy doujinshi and shit.   :-\  But this isn't about any of that.  A dimensional gate opens in the middle of Ginza and a medieval army, complete with ogres/orcs and dragon riders, comes through and starts wrecking shit.  The police and then the self-defense force (who the main character is part of) succeed in driving them back.  Time then passes and the Japanese government decides to send the SDF through the gate to set up a military base and start exploring the land.  The people on the other side continuously try to attack the SDF and are utterly obliterated by their modern weaponry.  It's kind of sad.  This series has potential but I get the feeling once the BISHOUJO ELF-SAN and PRINCESS-SAN come into the picture that the stupid is going to start happening.  Hope I'm wrong.  This is also one of those series where the male characters are drawn in a more realistic style and then the females are all

New Gundam in the fall, staff are all old-time Sunrise staffers who've done both good and bad shows and don't have much experience with gundam outside of the director who did some 00 eps.  Music guy seems to have mainly done crappy fanservice stuff so this is probably his first real drama break.  No idea what to think.  At least the trailer looks like it's trying to be fairly grounded like 00, which is a good thing.  Character designs are ok outside of purple-ish hair guy and blond princess.

Prison School has not disappointed through its first two episodes. For someone who isn't familiar with the original manga, it's hard to really describe. I want to call it a sex comedy, but it's far too mean and violent. I want to call it a romance, but it's too unabashedly filthy. And it's not a drama, because it's way too ridiculous. In a way, it's the most extreme version of men v women internet arguments turned into a linear story, and it's pretty amazing. Give it a watch!

So I really like the art of Yasuomi Umetsu and I've been going through his library of work, finding stuff he's done the character designs for. Luckily for me he did the character designs for 3 Tastsunoko OVA revivals during the 90s. The purpose of this post is to highlight that the main theme of Gatchaman 94 is sung by a member of Earth,Wind and Fire, which of course is surprising and it's totally stuck in my head.

:bow Arlsan :bow2

I guess this one falls under the "best show that nobody is watching" category.  We've now watched the first 13 episodes of the series and it has been absolutely fantastic the whole way through.  Great characters, great story, and excellent art/animation.  I never saw the original OVAs or read the book/comics this is based on, so I have no idea how much this deviates from the source material, if at all, but this is essentially an anime version of Middle Eastern characters outsmarting and beating the shit out of European crusaders.   :lol  Nobody actually looks like whatever country they're supposed to be from, but it's pretty obvious that this is the case.  The big bad also wears a silver mask on his face and gives me kind of a Char vibe, although he's pretty much 100% evil.

The other vibe I get from this show...is musou.  I can absolutely see why Koei is making a musou game out of this series, because it fits perfectly.  Pretty much every main character is a total badass who has no problem going through numerous grunts and is only matched by other 'generals.' 

Watch it!

I've watched a lot of anime. Like, a lot of anime. And I'm struggling to think of any movie or series or OVA I've seen that at all compares to Prison School. It is something that simply defied belief, both that it can be what it is and that it can actually exist at this level of animation detail. If you tried to explain it to somebody, they'd probably think you were insane or on a concoction of drugs. There is no logic that can explain what Prison School is, or how it can be both incredibly over-the-top but still deadly serious while also being so funny.

Here's a picture from the show:

For good scifi or fantasy action there's Blood Blockade Battlefront, Parasyte, Rage of Bahamut, and Garo. Maria the Virgin Witch ended up being a pretty good fantasy series, despite a goofy name and shaky premise. Death Parade, if you want something really weird and different. Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun and Barakamon are good comedies that won't make you feel like you need to take a shower afterward. That's probably about all I'd recommend from the past year to someone that doesn't want hardcore animu.

Post by: Great Rumbler on August 06, 2015, 01:44:00 PM
Generally, I like the one-shot OVAs that tell a complete, if truncated, story over the 2 or 3 episodes series that have their conclusion chopped off because of lackluster sales. Unless it's a comedy like Dragon Half where the story doesn't really matter that much.

Too bad the golden age of OVAs had to come to end, some really cool stuff came out during that period.

Interesting read, thanks.  Makes sense on the rental thing...didn't even think about that in terms of gauging success.  I would have thought that they'd base it on sales numbers, with prices that I'm sure were probably even more ridiculous for tapes than they are for DVDs.  Didn't know that some stuff started off as TV series.  Sucks that Dragon Half wasn't longer and especially that Battle Angel never got a chance to tell the larger story.

I remember when we'd get both TV series and OVAs (or as Viz Video called them, "OAVs."  Nice and confusing) and how much better the OVAs would look in comparison.  Happened often with Ranma 1/2.

I watched about 2/3 of Code Geass about 6-7 years ago. Really enjoyed it back then, but just never got around to finishing it for one reason another. At this point, I doubt I'll ever go back to it, though.

If you're still interested in more Code Geass after watching the second season, there's a movie pentalogy about a different group of characters in the same universe [takes place a few years after the series, I think]. The final movie isn't out in Japan until February of next year, though.

They switch the creative leads every episode.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Space_Dandy_episodes

Watanabe only wrote three or four episodes. It never goes anywhere until the last two or three where Dandy's story gets wrapped up and you finally find out why he's special. Which doesn't actually explain anything, mind you, it's just a definitive ending.

Space Dandy is essentially an anthology series, but with the same main characters and a thin connective plot. Which produces some really amazing episodes, but also some that aren't quite as great.

There's some very lazy / outright shit models in the zombie episode for instance (mercenary team getting killed in the hospital, look at the zombies) and also in the robot uprising one. Not the only instances, there's some too in the second episode. I'm less specific with the animation but I was never too impressed with it. The high school musical episode for instance, that rely on his musical numbers, left me very cold in this regard. If by the fish episode you mean the one with the giant eel and the old fisherman, yeah the art was good in that one (pace not so good). That said, I am not an avid watcher watcher in current anime so in that context Space Dandy might shine compared to its peers (My impression is that the technical standard for good shows has declined, or that I have trouble coping with the computer assisted look).

I understand that it's an exercice of style but it really falls flat often. Bebop and Champloo were already somewhat of a simple plot redline to accomodate brutal tone shifts, I don't think it works well here.

The music is good for the most part however.

Something I did not know is that the artist/writer behind Working also made Servant X Service, which takes place in the same city as Working.  There's no connection within the manga or anime series for either, but in a SxS drama CD, two characters from Working go to the city hall to get married! 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Quote
In the crossover drama CD bundled with the Servant x Service limited edition Blu-ray/DVDs, [Yachiyo] and [Satou] go together to enter their names into the family register, and after the process is completed, [Satou] refuses to stop bullying Popura by changing her hairstyle, saying that he is too happy being a newlywed man...and instead of babbling about Kyoko to others, [Yachiyo] now boasts about her husband, [Satou].

It was already too ham fisted for my liking, but as soon as high school kids showed up and some girls were introduced, I bailed out. I don't know WHAT it is Japanese animators do to make these girls so intolerable and obnoxious. Dem squeaky voices.

It's hard to take Prison School seriously with the relentless fan service.

It's hard to take relentless fan service seriously with the obtrusive censorship - steam does not magically coalesce around titties, that's just science, everyone knows that.    :maf

But the whole point of Prison School is the grotesqueness of the "fan service." That's where the humor comes from. Anyway just wait for uncensored blu-rays and/or read the superior manga.

I finally have a husbando on Yowamushi Pedal. :uguu

1. Rides a TIME bicycle. These are HAND-BUILT in FRANCE (most "European" carbon fiber bicycles are manufactured in East Asia) and TIME are the only other company besides Giant that actually hand weaves their own carbon fiber. :noah

2. Has an awful personality.

3. Can't talk about his feelings either.

And he's a climber so we're like the power bear-cool young dude couple. :uguu

The first ep of CB is so perfect. It manages to give you a taste of the best bits of CB. Just a really strong opening. Lowkey might even be my favorite episode of the series. Certainly the one I think about the most all these years later. That ending.

Cowboy Bebop is incredibly boring. Given how awesome the characters are it's actually surprisingly boring. It's a very slow movie-like anime that just doesn't know how to have fun.

Nah breh, mai husbando got that on lock. There's a bit in an episode where he fantasizes about the big beefy sprinter on the team losing some weight and being hot af and he gets emasculated by the top climber on a rival school's team. (e.g. Appending -chan to his name.)

Midousuji Akira is a first-year student at Kyoto Fushimi High School and a member of the cycling club there. Though he takes the title of "ace" and rules the club like a dictator, he is actually not the captain . . . [He] has a sadistic and eccentric personality; he'll do anything to win, and this includes constantly causing others emotional distress . . . [He] has a tendency to call others, including his own teammates, "small fry" or "zaku" interchangeably. A commonly used word in his vocabulary is "gross." While it varies, he usually uses the word to describe the passionate sentiments of others, such as camaraderie or vengeful feelings.

God Eater :yuck

Prison School, The Heroic Legend Of Arslan, Shokugeki No Souma/Food Wars, Gangsta, Wagnaria (this is season 3 of Working!), and Rokka No Yuusha are the best shows from this season.

Both Arslan and Souma spanned two seasons so you get 24-25 episodes each.  Unfortunately, both also have open-ended endings.  Hopefully more episodes are coming.  Ditto for Rokka No Yuusha although it was just this season.

I don't watch anime anymore (besides watching Yamato 2199, the last anime ep I watched was the first 3 eps of G-Reco), but I thought ep1 of the new Gundam show was solid.  Felt closest to Gundam Wing with 00 Mechanics but even more realistic low-tech.  Animation and art and music was all good.  Solid directing.  Only downsides were the generic EVIL blonde antagonists.

Although since the world is low-tech in its mecha with mobile suits even less powerful than Zaku and the main Gundam basically just having a giant club, it's going to be really awkwardly hilariously if by the end of the show the mobile suits and gundams are doing Jesus Yamato laser spams or Gundam 00 movie three dozen funnel rifle stuff.  Wonder if they'll actually stick to the low-tech through and through and just give him a giant beam like Gundam X or something.

The feels in YowaPeda episode 25. :stahp :brazilcry :uguu

As someone who's watched his fair share of shounen, it's hilarious to see shounen tropes in this show because so much of the time it actually applies to ROUDU RAISAS irl.

Still haven't watched much.

One-Punch Man: This is really fun and I enjoyed the first two episodes.  It's kinda funny; I decided to try out Funimation since you can get a subscription for like $3 a month...and this show wasn't there.  I was under the impression that if CR doesn't have it, Funi does.  But nope...it's on Hulu.  Which I have too, so maybe I should cancel that Funi sub before the trial is up.   :doge

Kindaichi Returns R: This is really just a continuation of the previous season from last year and more of the same.  I like it, but did we really need ANOTHER story set in Hong Kong in a hotel again?  You're beating a dead horse here.

Valykrie Drive Mermaid:  :nsfw the anime.  Makes shows like Queen's Blade look tame.  This is from some of the same people who made the Senran Kagura games and there are similarities in that it's (mostly) fighting schoolgirls...except now you can add in a heavy, very clear lesbian element to everything.  They're not hiding anything...the premise is that there pairs of girls with powers.  One girl transforms into a weapon that the other girl wields.  To trigger a transformation, the weapon girl has to get sexually excited.  So yeah,  :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw.  Lots of feels in the literal sense here and absurd titty shots (with visible aureoles).  I can see why nobody is streaming this.   :lol

That said, the show knows its audience:

Oh yeah I actually forgot I watch Gintama. Okay I guess I'm not completely done with anime. But watching One Punch Man made me realize animu just isn't my style. I'd rather watch some other type of cartoon like The Simpsons. Western cartoons are just plain superior in terms of entertainment value, even if anime is more epic and has nice art. And let's not forget western cartoons aren't so full of weird shit like anime. :kobeyuck

Nadia is way different from NGE, it's not even close.

And make sure to skip over episodes 23-34. They were broadcaster mandated filler handled by an entirely different crew at Gainax, they're also absolutely terrible. Maybe watch episode 31, since it actually has some plot/character development, but completely avoid the others.

Parts 1 - 6 are all one continuous story relating to different generations of the Joestar family. The run for all those parts lasted from 1987 to 2003.

Part 7 and 8 are in a separate continuity entirely, tho the whole Stand thing is still in place. Same family names and similar themes, but entirely different story. Part 7 started in 2204 and Part 8 is still ongoing.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Like a nameless tree alone in the desert
Post by: mormapope on October 24, 2015, 02:26:21 PM
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure follows a family bloodline and what happens to people within that bloodline.

The manga started in the mid 80's. The manga as a series is separated by acts or arcs, with each act or arc having a new protagonist that's part of the Joestar family tree. Each arc has its own protagonist with characters returning as side characters often. Time flows forward, time will jump ahead.

So far there have been eight arcs.

In the 90's, there were OVA's for the third act, Stardust Crusaders. This wasn't a 1:1 adaptation though, there were differences in story and characterization versus the manga.

A few years ago, the adaptation for the first act was made. The first act is called Phantom Blood. From there, two other acts have been adapted, and now we're on the fourth act for the anime. The anime is a 1:1 adaptation of the manga. 

So, JoJo in animated form adapted straight from the first act of the manga, started a couple years ago. The fourth act is getting adapted now as well.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Like a nameless tree alone in the desert
Post by: Tasty on October 24, 2015, 02:31:06 PM
So the new anime is a remake that more closely follows the manga? Since Parts 1-6 were made already.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Like a nameless tree alone in the desert
Post by: mormapope on October 24, 2015, 02:36:32 PM
The anime that started a few years ago is the anime. Think of it as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood except the thing that existed before it wasn't an anime, it would be OVA's of Fullmetal Alchemist in the middle of its story.

Its not a remake, its the full deal adaptation that started right from the beginning.

The anime adaptation starting point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JoJo%27s_Bizarre_Adventure_(season_1)

What was released in the early 90's and 2000:

Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Like a nameless tree alone in the desert
Post by: mormapope on October 24, 2015, 05:15:11 PM
Yes, they're completely skippable. If you enjoy the Stardust Crusaders anime act, it's interesting to see the differences between the OVAs compared to the manga/anime. 

The first season of the anime has the Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency acts. The second season is Stardust Crusaders.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Like a nameless tree alone in the desert
Post by: bork on October 26, 2015, 01:51:02 PM
And to further clarify, the OVAs released were based on Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders).  The latter half of it.  They then released another set of OVAs that covered the first half.  Just forget they exist.

The anime series has Season 1 with both parts 1 and 2 (1-9 are part 1 IIRC, it starts slow then goes real fast), like mormapope said, and then seasons 2 and 3 are both part 3...it's that much longer.

My favorite story arc is easily part 2.  Best JoJo by far.  Jotaro from part 3 has almost zero personality in comparison to Joseph from part 2.

Parts 1-3 are like one huge story and all tie together nicely.  Parts 4 and 5 are like epilogues and then everything kind of started all over again with part 6.

My main beef with Part 3 is the cleverness and intelligence of characters goes down a lot. Instead of characters being clever, they have clever stands or powers to use. Part 3 feels like a experiment compared to the previous parts, as Stands were introduced and were played around with a lot. Way too much emphasis on Polnareff, and there isn't really a feeling of danger until the last episodes.

From what I've read and hear, Part 4 has more unique characters and a lot more characterization. So far, Part Two is the best.

Part 1: 9/10
Part 2: 9.5/10
Part 3: 7.5 or 8/10

Openings:
Part 1
Part 3's second opening
Part 3's first opening
Part 2

Endings:
Part 1&2
Part 3
Part 3 second ending

Liking the new Gundam a lot.  For the little bit of anime I watch each year, I can pretty much live on nothing but Gundam shows and be happy (as long as they aren't AGE).  Hits all the right notes, nice music, cool mechs, enjoyable characters, strategic battles.  This one is definitely a lot more traditional AU Gundam along the lines of Wing/00.  I like that it's about a bunch of punk kids vs. the world.  Kind of has a bit Infinite Ryvius feel there.

Got back to watching Fate/Zero, show binges really quickly.  Big Boss Rider is too damn good for this show.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Like a nameless tree alone in the desert
Post by: Bebpo on November 06, 2015, 04:20:54 AM
Finished Fate/Zero, good show but had serious issues with the last couple of eps.  My thoughts on the ending in IM form:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Quote
bebpotril: finished fate/zero
bebpotril: last 2 eps were complete nonsense and then total non-ending
bebpotril: I guess because it's a prequel and setting up the next series
bebpotril: which I know nothing about
bebpotril: but wasn't really satisfying
bebpotril: at all
bebpotril: psycho priest guy gets resurrected as a zombie wtf, gilgamesh becomes a human wtf, no resolution to saber v gilgamesh battle?  I mean Gilgamesh is a total dick the entire show and then in the end he doesn't even get a fight and the grail just freaks out and explodes blood all over him and now he's a human, and the city explodes
bebpotril: ...
bebpotril: hope some of these plotlines are wrapped up in Fate/Stay Night
bebpotril: cause I guess I'll be watching that next!
bebpotril: best part of Fate/Zero was Akio Otsuka's Rider.  Probably best role he's ever done outside of Snake
(duckroll defends show)
bebpotril: it's not about who wins
bebpotril: it's about no resolution to a number of major plotlines
bebpotril: basically nothing happens in the final 2 eps
bebpotril: the grail is destroyed by saber and then it forms again in the sky and then EVA NONSENSE EXPLOSION
bebpotril: and then people are resurrected or changed
bebpotril: and show is over
bebpotril: hope you get resolution in Stay Night
bebpotril: I mean the main two characters, the assassin and the priest, their conflict is not resolved
bebpotril: saber v gilgamesh is not resolved
bebpotril: the entire what the grail is and does and the whole point of the battles is gibberish
bebpotril: In my mind the show ended when Gilgamesh beats Rider at the end of the 3rd to last ep.  Good fight, good ending for Rider.
bebpotril: then Eva nonsense final 2 eps
bebpotril: basically the grail explanation in the last 2eps is that the grail wants to be wished upon to come into the world, it wants to use the main guys wish to kill off a chunk of the world to save the rest, main guy denies it and destroys the grail, but somehow grail survives and is brought into the world anyhow (wat) it blows up the city, changes gilgamesh to human, brings priest back to life and somehow main assassin guy survives and saves a buried kid, the end.
bebpotril: I feel like zero had some plot hole issues along the way too.  But mostly it was the final eps nonsense that brings the show down.  Even a lot of the battles were pretty lame.  Like Rider loses his chariot by rushing straight into Saber's excalibur and then poof it's gone?  Kind of underwhelming.  And Saber v Berserker finishes off-screen when Saber is losing and cuts to her having won.  Also Berserker dude felt underdeveloped and never really used as anything more than a filler character to stall time.
bebpotril: I'm being critical, but it was a mostly good show that had great art/music/animation/directing, interesting grey area characters, and solid plotting outside of some dumb stuff.  Was pretty good.  I'm guessing most of the plot problems it suffers is from trying to work itself in perfectly in the timeline to be a prequel and set everything up just as it should be for stay/night.
bebpotril: the best scenes in Zero were the interactions between interesting characters.  Like Gilgamesh, for all the arrogant dick he was, he had the right to be because he was just way stronger than everyone else, and he still had a certain amount of respect for people like Rider.  He was an interesting character.  Main Kiritsugu assassin guy was a very interesting character.  Rider was great.  Priest dude was....kind of dumb character, like it was interesting when Gilgamesh was toying with him, but him post going full crazy was just kind of generic crazy character. 
bebpotril: I think my favorite part of the show was Gilgamesh/Rider/Saber drinking together and talking
bebpotril: and the most fucked up well written part of the show was the Saber/Lancer battle for honor that ends in Lancer committing suicide and then his master and girlfriend getting shot by the main character in the most non-honorable way.  That was a damn good way to turn the show on its head and fuck with expectations.

Beps, I definitely agree with you about the lack of resolution and some of the battles feeling cheap.

The huge gap in the middle of the Saber vs Berserker fight irritated the hell out of my roommate and I. Both of us were also hoping for a much more satisfying Saber vs Rider fight than what we got.

Berserker fighting Gilgamesh while Saber and others battle Caster & his monster was the best battle in the series, IMO.

I also liked the mage vs mage fight with an overmatched Kiritsugu using tech and trickery to fight that super powerful douchey mage from the university (can't remember his name).

Definitely watch Fate/Stay Night, but be warned that it's basically a shonen-type show. Very different from Zero. But some of the characters return, and there are some equally cool battles. The new Caster in FSN is fantastic. FSN's Berserker is also really cool, though I might have liked Zero's Berserker a little more.

Also be sure you're watching the newer Unlimited Blade Works version and not the original FSN.

I tried watching the first 2 eps of UBW and it was the most plodding, boring show ever.  Literally instead of cool people doing cool things and stuff happening like Fate/Zero, it's kids sitting around talking with kids about rice and food and silly comedy gags and slice of school life where nothing happens for 75% of the episodes.  So I just read the wiki for the Stay Night story and the 3 routes (Fate, UBW, Heaven's Feel) and wow, that is some crappy story.  Like, this was the visual novel that took off to sell millions and become a huge franchise?  The plot is really dumb and mostly filled with kids doing stupid shit and antagonists doing stupid stuff and characters out of nowhere.  It also totally does not seem to capitalize on any of Fate/Zero's continuing plotlines (yeah, I know Zero was a prequel made afterwards to fit into it, but because Zero was good and gave weight to a lot of characters and plotlines it's disappointing that they're not resolved in Zero and they amount to so little in Stay/Night). 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
They all seem minor (Kirei basically being last minute villian out of nowhere for the ending who doesn't even do much in Stay/Night, Gilgamesh getting killed by stupid stuff which makes no sense considering how insanely powerful and untouchable he was in Fate/Zero).  Basically it seems like there's no real satisfying resolve for anything left open at the end of Fate/Zero and instead just a dumb story of dumb kids doing dumb stuff.
[close]

Gonna just watch the fights for the animation and enjoy Fate/Zero as a complete standalone show.  Now that the ending ep of Fate/Zero makes sense, I like the show pretty well.  I think the last ep is still dumb because of all the non-endings to match-ups built up for the entire show, but the show is really well directed, excellently paced, has good characters, good fights and some good turn on expectations writing.  Definitely would recommend it to people.

Watched the Ghost In The Shell ARISE movie last night.  Glad we also watched the last two episodes of the ARISE TV series first.  What a mess this is...if you watched the OVAs and didn't watch those two episodes, the movie won't make any sense.

Anyway, it was fun enough.  ARISE is really one big, long story and everything ties together nicely enough.  I also liked that the Major finally gets longer bangs at the end.   :P

The weirdest thing happened halfway through, too.  I paused the movie and my dog started growling and barking...at the screen.  It paused on this sinister looking picture of the Major and she really didn't like it.  :doge

I tried watching the original Evangelion series a month or two ago, wasn't feeling it at all. Watched clips of it recently, still not feeling that show at all.  :-\

I thought the humor was bizarre in a not funny type of way, a lot of stuff feels nonchalant when it comes to narrative and the narrative moving forward, the characters have personalities but it feels corny in a not awesome type of way.

The art and animation is top notch though, the show is beautiful. Love the style, don't dig the substance at all.

Just watched the first episode of One Punch Man after reading about it in this thread and online.

The premise made it sound like it wouldn't that interesting when it comes to characterization, but the writing is fantastic. If the writing was bad, the fast and loose nature of the show wouldn't work at all, but the show is surprisingly heartfelt and really funny.

Was kinda ehh about the main character's design visually, but his personality makes up for it completely. Monster design has been fucking rad and hilarious.

Goku goes super saiyan for the very first time on DBZ Kai tonight. Now I know some may be "lol dbz" but it's a pretty hype moment that I haven't seen in so many years, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

The scene where(I'm actually hesitant to spoiler anything from Dragon Ball Z because it's rather popular and many have seen it already) Vegeta died was really nice, with him telling Goku about their people and what Freiza did, it was surprisingly emotional.

Of those on the list that I watched:

Full-Metal Alchemist is great. I only read the manga, but I know the anime is well liked too. There are quite a few gut-punch moments in this one.

Grave of the Fireflies, if you feel like you haven't cried enough lately.

Gurren Lagann is a fun show, because drill power. The way it works is Simon (or Shimon) and friends get shit on, but they prevail through force of will. Great animation too.

Kaiji, if you can get over the artstyle. Ludicrous, but fun enough if you're into suspense and let yourself be bamboozled by the piling on of nonsense. The release is always accompanied by tears. So many tears.

One Piece is probably a safe bet. Though you should probably just read the manga. We have a dedicated thread here.

Vinland Saga, though there's only a manga so far. There's a timeskip where the tone changes quite a bit.

Gundam Tekketsu's been really, really freaking solid so far.  Getting non-Gundam staffers to make a Gundam show seems to be paying off as the show is very human with good characters and character development.  Battles are nice and semi-realistic as well.  It's really making its way to potentially be one of the best Gundam shows if it doesn't completely fall apart at some point.

The homunculi in general are better developed in 2003, mix and match fuckery between names and original ones aside. They feel like a more serious treat than disposable henchmen, although Wrath and Greed in Brotherhood are fantastic.

I honestly wish we could have had a mix of the two. The first half of Brotherhood kind of assumes that you already saw the 2003 series so it skims along at a super fast pace and doesn't really carry the weight of events of characters like Nina and Hughes. Can't even just watch the first half of 2003 and then swap to Brotherhood due to inconsistencies like Marco and Scar.  :'(

One thing about Brotherhood I didn't like is that they didn't get into the Ishval War too deep.

I love Slayers, but Season 1 blatantly does the same story arc twice. :duh Next is clearly the goat of the original three seasons. Try ain't bad but it's kind of hard to believe anything is a remotely viable threat to Lina considering the shit she and the rest of her crew pulled off at the end of Next.

Oh god, I'm rewatching Slayers and I'm enjoying it more than I expected. I wondered whether it was right for me to rate Slayers Next higher.
Then I remembered the ep where Lina can't use any magic 'cause she's on her period. :snoop
I love Slayers, but Season 1 blatantly does the same story arc twice. :duh Next is clearly the goat of the original three seasons. Try ain't bad but it's kind of hard to believe anything is a remotely viable threat to Lina considering the shit she and the rest of her crew pulled off at the end of Next.

Lina/Naga OVAs are the best, though. :yeshrug

Is this like when the people who made Noir went on to make Madlax which was the same show down to the DVD packaging? Champloo reused Spike's design from Bebop but it was still its own series. Those character designs have a bit of a retro 80s/early 90 vibe to them so that new series MIGHT be okay

The first 2016 issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine (cover shown right) is announcing on Friday that a new anime adaptation project of Kentarou Miura's Berserk manga has been green-lit. NBC Universal will unveil the anime's first promotional video at its winter Comiket booth, which will run from December 29-31. The announcement did not note the format of the anime (TV, film, OAV, etc.).

Miura comments in the magazine that the anime project will depict Guts in his "Black Swordsman" appearance, which is only revealed in parts of the manga that go beyond any previously animated Berserk story, and is only briefly hinted at in the first and last episode of the 1997 television anime series.'

If you haven't watched in years there's also:

Gundam Build Fighters
Gundam Build Fighters Try
G Reco
and maybe even Gundam Unicorn if you never finished it.

Thunderbolt & Origin are OAVs still running, so you can watch them or hold off until they finish.
Iron Blood Orphans is great, get on that.  Hopefully it doesn't have the Sunrise "turns-to-shit-in-the-2nd-half" curse.
Build Fighters S1 is episodic, fight of the day pacing, but the 2nd half is pretty good with some great battles.  Worth a watch.
I heard Try is bad, haven't seen it yet.
G Reco is love/hate depending on how big of a crazy Tomino fan you are, it's absolutely gorgeous though in art/animation/music.
Unicorn is nonsense story-wise, but it looks amazing and is epic and worth watching especially in that last ep.  It's like the 0083/CCA of the modern day Gundam.

Errrrr, I hope you don't mean from an art perspective.  Because the art by the Eureka 7 guy is really nice.  Also when I say crazy Tomino fan, I should clarify that, you will love G Reco if you are a fan of modern crazy HAPPY Tomino like Overman King Gainer.  If you can watch Brain Powerd and enjoy it, you'll love G Reco.  It has a lot more in common with those two and Turn A than it does with any of his old-school Gundam shows.

I think I said this before, but if you are an artist and interested in breaking into animation, watch Ghost in the Shell and copy the backgrounds via painting. Just straight up try to replicate them. Do the same background over and over. Try to get as close to the real thing as possible.

Notice the framing of the camera in the backgrounds, and then go to a local city or a local place that has a similar amount of detail. Take a picture in HD. Then paint that photo you took GitS background style.

Add to portfolio.

GitS is excellent for learning or even appreciating mastery of fine animation details, from backgrounds to direction.

I can't think of a piece of animation with as detailed bgs as GitS. The GOAT.

I hope they can make this grimy enough to fit Berserk's world. CGI worked well with Knights of Sidonia, which has a similar, if not even bigger body horror aspect than Berserk. But then again, Sidonia is set on spaceships and half of it is mech combat in space...

I'll watch it regardless, but I'm not excited for it any more.

Don't scare him away. :doge

It's not quite harem, just every girl, "girl" and as of yet sexless person seems to forge some kind of bond with the protagonist. It's Nihei's most conventional and straightforward work, i.e. shonen tropes out the ass. Protag is a skilled combatant, good at heart, has an enormous appetite, is nigh invincible, the power of friendship saves him and the day, etc.

Okay if I actually want to sit down and finish Arise what order do I need to watch? Do I need to watch the "series" If I've seen the 3 ovas?

Watch the 4th OVA then watch episodes 9 and 10 of Alternative Architecture then watch the movie and you're done.

That seems complicated and annoying. Is Arise worth watching at all though? I saw the first episode and wasn't really hype about it.

That scene with him dancing with the little girl was cute, it wasn't weird at all. You're the weird one for thinking it's weird.

The winter anime season has really started now with a lot of shows premiering, my favorite show so far is Myriad Colors Phantom World because of the limbo scene. I think The Walrus would like Erased because it's mystery show with an 29 year old protagonist, the first episode was good stuff.

I tried to watch Mobile Suit Gundam The 08th MS team. It was good. Until I got to the part where the music guy is heavily injured and grabs Karen's boob and Karen actually blushes. She was supposed to be this run-of-the-mill tough woman type of character. The moment I saw that I was like, fuck it, I'm out.

I think I might be done with anime altogether. Western cartoons are just vastly superior. All the fun with none of the creepiness.

Ruzbeh you've posted previously in this thread about your disdain for anime and it's many -ism's on multiple occasions. I'm quite sure you've stated that you were "done" with anime and that western cartoons are superior on more than a few occasions. To be honest ruzshit, I'm quite tired of your shit posting in this thread, you constantly post in a thread DEDICATED to anime, something you CLAIM to this dislike vehemently and yet CONTINUE to make your presence a mainstay in this thread.

Listen I'm not trying to mean, I'm super nice in real life dude but you're really fucking obnoxious and a general shit eating poster. Some posters may be all like "He doesn't bother me" or "why not just put him on ignore", to the first Ruzbeh needs to learn you shouldn't be going into threads about shit you don't like and CONSTANTLY complain it. I don't go into threads about shit I have no interest in/don't care for and post about how I don't like "X" thing. THAT'S FUCKING DUMB. And to the second lol putting ppl on ignore.

And again listen, I'm really nice but your continued garbage fire tier posting in the anime thread has lead to me make to post in earnest.

tl;dr: fuck off ruzshit and fix your life.

Every single moment in Shinra's apartment was solid gold. It made up the majority of the episode but it didn't take up more time than it needed to. This was a great first episode for the cour because it creates the guild that will be instrumental for the remainder of the episodes (I'm assuming.)

With all the revelations this episode, the Dollars vs. Yellow Scarves conflict feels a lot less important. It'll be up to the next episode to juice it up a little.

I began to rewatch HxH last week (just got done with Greed Island) and man it holds up. The concept of Nen is my favorite power thingy. It's rigid enough to make sense, but really flexible for all of these amazing and unique abilities.

Garo's not bad. Aldnoah Zero's not bad. It's more than a few years (2010) but I also remember liking Occult Academy a lot but its already been forgotten by history.

Watch Gatchaman Crowds.

Watched the first ep of Garo.  Was solid.  I like the character designs.  Not too big on the CG fighting, but there seems to be a lot of 2d animation so I'm not too bothered. 

Does anyone make really stylish shows anymore?  Stuff like Gakutsuou, or Soul Taker, or even like Tatami Galaxy?

This is how I feel about it too.  If you like it enough, there's a movie following the first season, then season 2.  (Or do I have that backwards and it's season 2, then the movie?  I can't remember lol)

I have directed my SO to Black Lagoon, the occasion for me to do a rewatch (I probably watched it in 2009 or 2011...?). Surprinsingly, the action scenes are a lot more pedestrian than I remembered (Especially the S1 Roberta's episodes, it's good fun but really derivative and there's a bit of filler). The writing, however, is holding really well : characters are memorable despite the first impression of a Cowboy Bebop ripoff and the somewhat crass design of Revy, and there's some actual depth to their interactions. The series is also very strong in the setting's depiction, and I suspect it took some cues from the John Sayles penned Men of War movie. Either way, it manages to create characters and places that are both abhorrent and sympathetic. There's a bit of self awareness going on too, and the show never goes full distinguished mentally-challenged fellow dark & gritty either.

Never watched the OVA mini series which serves as S3 ? Is it good ? I'm a bit worried that Roberta is in it... as I said, fun character but super gimmicky also.

I liked the Roberta thing, but it's been quite a while since I saw it (when it came out I think?). Tbh the thing I remember most starkly about Black Lagoon is the bit where they went to Japan and talk english.

I just finished rewatching the second season and yeah that english is  :lol Really jarring considering Revy is supposed to be American-born and a pity because otherwise the show is making a pretty good job with the constantly changing language in those parts (They're all supposed to speak english most of the time, but it's only heard when the show must convey that characters present on screen at that point speak different languages).

That long Japan ending (it's a 6 parter, I believe ?) is a bit weird, it phases out almost completely two of the main supporting characters and I'm not buying the infatuation (or whatever sentiment it is) that Rock has with the young Japanese girl. He met her like twice for a grand total of 25 mn or something and that's apparently enough to justify extreme hazardous white knighting. Art and animation also took a major dive as the end approaches, you're almost hearing the budget slowly drying to 0. Those problems aside, it was a decent conclusion and I like that they tried someone's journey to the heart of darkness without resorting to the usual red line / moral horizon "Oh no what have I done" murder-rape-collateral damage shocker. Characters are all fun and interesting, the show is aware of the amorality & violence displayed, it's not by the numbers and overall I had fun revisiting it.

So watched the Black Lagoon "OAV" or mini-S3 "Roberta's Blood Trail". It's good and it expands on a couple things that were touched upon in S2 and left hanging there. It is also a bit weird because it sidelines the two progatonists which are almost token pieces in the story but I'm not too miffed and I think it's actually a good way of showing they are cogs in a greater design (Shirow was very good with that). I also sorta appreciate that Rebecca and her relation to Rock stays a bit of a mystery and of an abortion.

The story centering around Roberta wasn't as gimmicky as I feared it would but it does go quite over the top with regards to the action (it approachs Hellsing levels of just straight up super powered dudettes)... I think it's OK tho because they didn't botch nuancing the plot despite the lead this time round being US interventionism, a subject which can bring the worst out of Japanese people. The conclusion manages to keep the conscious amorality that runs through the show (in the end, everything is just business...) and -because of the production format I guess- they were able to push up the envelope on some of the mature stuff : there's a couple sequences of disturbing sexual violence when it was almost nowhere to be seen in the show, which felt weird considering it is supposed to happen in the most corrupt organized crime pithole on Earth.

Overall pretty pleased with my rewatch of the series.

I'm glad the coloring scheme and overall art style is similar to Part 1 instead of being similar to Stardust Crusaders. Stardust Crusaders looked good, but I like the psychedelic/erratic color scheme of Part 1 a lot more, characters in general looked a bit too sharp shading wise in Stardust Crusaders as well.

Real talk, though: I need to see the crew list before I start actually getting excited.

Back for the new season is FLCL series creator Kazuya Tsurumaki, serving as supervisor with director Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass) and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Also joining this season is writer Hideto Iwai (Last Dinner).

Okay, maybe get a little bit excited now.

In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.

But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?

At least it seems like they're putting a new spin on it, instead of just retreading the exact same ground. Although, I suppose they could still do that anyway.

Actually sounds like the E7 AO treatment. Series is still about a kid and a girl, just different characters (well Haruka's the same in this one I guess.)

I'm excited but skeptical. The original series was laser-focused and wrapped up in an immensely satisfying way.

Got done watching the first episode.

 :lawd

The art style is amazing again, incredibly colorful and dreamlike at all times. Everything as a whole feels a lot less formulaic than Stardust Crusaders, which is my main critique with that arc. Part 1 and 2 felt incredibly unpredictable and wild. Diamond is Unbreakable has that feeling of being unpredictable, exciting. Josuke feels like an all new Jojo, he seems like a more dastardly version of Jonathon. And Jotaro feels more like a fleshed out character than a plot device.

The stakes being lowered by quite a bit makes sense. The Pillar Men from Part 2, specifically Kars, were the biggest and most powerful threat thus far in the anime. So the story in Diamond revolving around stand users fighting and tip toeing around each other in a city is a lot more interesting than the formula Stardust Crusaders followed.

I really like how each JoJo mother or caretaker has been different than one another. Tomoko isn't nearly as sweet as past Jojo mommas.

Humor was on point. Sound effects are fucking radical. Stands in general feel a lot more exciting, less plodding maybe compared to Stardust?

Wish all the episodes were done and released. Waiting every week is going to suck ass.  >:(

Really want to know what the opening and ending songs will be as well.

I didn't know that Terra Formars was back.  The first episode of the new season picks up where the last left off, only now the art is noticeably worse and there's this sudden injection of "anime humor" that was thrown in and doesn't seem very fitting.  By that I mean cutesy facial expressions and shower scene crap.  :doge

The series has a major tone shift but it only start happening fully at the two thirds of the run. I don't think, if you can't get in now, that it will win you over. Would also recommend watching the new movies.

Ace Attorney was all right.  It's no Kindaichi, and tries to hard to mimic the game at points, but I'll still watch it.

My Hero Academia #1 was also all right.  I read the first volume of the manga and liked it, but it didn't strike me as the "next big thing" like I keep seeing people saying.  Maybe it gets a lot more exciting.

Is the Ace Attorney anime any good? I really, really want it to be good.
The first episode was okay. Pacing was off and the animation definitely needs work, but it isn't bad for a start, I still enjoyed it.

Then again, this is the first case from the original game, so it wasn't gonna be that exciting to begin with. The next episode is based off the 2nd case and will be multi-part, so I'm hoping the pacing works better in their favor and they pull off the writing very well.

Dunno but the stream quality of their other (live action) shows has been great/1080p so I'd figure at least that here as well?

Not sure if I'm prepared to hear Toonami's butchered version of Departure when the Hunter x Hunter dub premieres in 15 minutes.

Been meaning to rewatch the series and will probably stick with the dub, but it'll be hard to just do one episode a week. The show was like crack when I first marathoned it (episodes 1 to 99.)

Edit- I forgot they have the full opening for all debut episodes. I'll have to wait until next week to hear the cut up version. :P

Hunter x Hunter dub was great! Gon, Kurapika and Leorio all sound good. I'm still concerned about Killua because of his voice in the commercial but he's not in it for another couples eps.

They didn't cut down Departure (but probably will next week), and they cut down Just Awake (possibly my favorite anime ending ever) but at least it was still included (some Viz dubs leave it out on Toonami.)

Overall, I'm confident in my decision to rewatch the series this way. When it gets to later on shit's gonna be intense.

The PW anime is really garbage. The anime-original music a snoozefest, it tries way to hard to emulate the games instead of adapt the story into a different medium, and animation is hilariously bad.

Just watch the Live action movie, its significantly better.

I don't get the point in emulating the games so much.  They really lost the chance to take the base stories and make them work better for the medium.  It sucks that this is what has basically-replaced the far superior Kindaichi.  :-\

Still watching it though.

Dub Killua just as bad as I feared. :( I mean maybe the actress has a good range and that'll come into play further down the line, but he sounds way girlier than Gon. :-\


Rest of the dub seems to be on-point though. Haven't heard Hisoka yet though.

So for anyone approaching this from a purist state, I'm about to go full-heretical, but I've been watching Avatar the Last Airbender with my son. It's really good. Unfortunately I've had to work, so he's been barreling through it and I've seen maybe 1/2 the episodes. We're nearing the end of the show, only 10 episodes in s3 left now.

It's great to see an epic story with anguish and strife and character evolution in it.

In contrast, my son started watching Evangelion, and said it was boring as hell.

We were bored last night and looked for something on Crunchy Roll to watch.  Stumbled across "Dog Days" and decided to watch it because  :doge.

And it's so weird.  The show is about a fantasy world with humanoid animals fighting each other for control of territories.  The good guys here are the dogs and the bad guys are cats.  When they fight each other, the defeated cat people don't die but instead turn into big cat-blob head things. 

The dog people are worried about losing, so they summon a "legendary hero" who is of course STUDENT FROM JAPAN.  At least this time, the kid is from England and is a gymnast.  You wonder why the latter matters, and then...

To get to the dogs' castle, the cat soldiers have to cross what appears to be an obstacle course like something out of one of those Ninja Warrior shows.  There's a group running commentary on this and nobody actually dies here.  It's all "friendly" competition.
:dead

So bizarre.

Finally finished Yamato 2199.  Took me like 2 years because of the episodic pace for a lot of it, but it was always quality.  It's a good sci-fi space journey.  The directing, the animation, the character writing, the music is all top-notch.  My only issues were the plot writing has some lame BS saves where the Yamato would have fucking died as shown by facts established in the series physics.  One them being:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
In one of the final eps they show up at Garmillas and Iscander and get sneak attacked by a fucking WAVE MOTION CANNON straight at them, they visibly see it, realize they're fucked and turn a bit and somehow only get scrapped, yet they've shown over and over that when the Yamato uses the WAVE MOTION CANNON it's such a huge energy beam that it wipes out entire fleets with gigantic width.  You don't see it coming straight at you and dodge a few feet and survive.
[close]

And it's not like I wanted realistic writing where the Yamato dies or anything, just I wish it had smarter writing so it didn't put them in those situations that were actually impossible to get out of and then had to write a BS save. 

Then the last couple of eps were way weaker than the fantastic journey as the antagonist and Iscandar are just super underdeveloped and a bunch of ridiculous nonsense happens in the last 2 eps which all kind of detracts from the good sci-fi writing of the show for the most part.  I think a lot of that are leftovers of the 60s or 70s when the original Yamato TV aired. 

Still it's a good watch, definitely a quality show and there aren't a lot of non-gundam anime star trek shows out there.  But the writing problems I have with it keep me from loving it and being a new favorite.

I'm liking Psycho Pass a few eps in.  Major GITS SAC vibes....but with a sickly looking teen girl in the lead but w/e she's not terrible.  Love the little cyberpunk gimmicks like how they can change the way an interior looks and their vision of the future internet and those ridiculous plot-tension guns. I hear it goes to shit in the second season or something. 

I'm regretting selling my Berserk manga collection and am thinking of buying a whole new set on ebay for like 375, a bit of a mark up on the $8 a book I originally paid.

You know what? I'm looking for anime recommendations and since the bore is a much more sane crowd that won't recommend things the receipt obviously doesn't want I thought it would be the best place.

I'm looking for tv shows. Not too  long. No shounen stuff and preferably not dealing with high school stuff. Something a 25+ person can actually watch.

What kind of anime do I like? Gundam, Evangelion, Giant Robo, Macross Plus, Bebop, Nadesico, Gurren Lagann, Utena, Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Beserk, Escaflowne, and well that's mostly what I've kept around since my anime dvd purge. So I'm looking for something that has solid storytelling basically. Something not too dumb. Thing's I've liked recently would include Iron Blooded Orphans, Fate Zero, A Women Called Fujiko Mine, The New Italian Lupin thingy, and that's about it. I like fun stuff, but wouldn't mind something meaty.

Thanks.

I've seen Madoka. It was good.

I've seen pretty much all Gundam.

Honestly, if it's a show from before 2013 I probably have heard of it, seen it, and made a judgement. I'm looking for more recent shows. Monster is too long at this point.

Is Steins Gate good? It seems like it's otaku trash, but I don't know. Based on a visual novel so..

Parasyte - Sentient alien parasites infiltrate and take control of human hosts, except for the main character who manages to stop the parasite from infiltrating past his arm. With both now trapped between two worlds, they have to navigate a violent combination of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and David Cronenberg body-horror.

Prison School - Yes, it's a school show, but it's also one of the funniest, most insane anime school show possibly ever.

Blood Blockade Battlefront - New York City is now ground zero for illegal aliens [from another dimension], but life goes on. Has a lot of good action and really great characters.

Maria the Virgin Witch - Despite what the name and synopsis suggests, this is actually a really good mix of medieval history and fantasy, that balances the misery of that time period with the belief that things can get better if capable people step up, even if it means going against the will of Heaven.

Psycho Pass - In the future, a system is used to identify and eliminate people who are merely likely to commit a crime, so you've got to make sure that your mental state is constantly on an even keel, because if it goes up too high for too high you're pretty much screwed. You can probably guess that the fallibility of the system plays a major role here.

Rage of Bahamut - Based on an F2P money-pit, but it's actually a really good fantasy adventure series. Lots of fun characters, great animation.

Space Dandy - Each episode feature a different crew and there's no real overarching story, but it's a lot of fun and just keeps getting better and better as the show goes a long. One of the my favorite shows of the past decade.

Finished watching Nekomonogatari Black the other day.  Slowly working my way through the monogatari series despite that everything after Bakemonogatari has been kind of just ok/boring.  But the original Bakemonogatari series is probably top10 anime for me so it has enough cred that I'll keep watching the sequel series hoping for some gold later on.  I think next up is Bakemonogatari 2nd Series.  Man, the original Bakemonogatari is just so damn well directed and written.  It's a bit pervy, but that's ok because it's really clever and funny.  Plus the directing's super stylish and the arcs are short enough to not overstay their welcome.  Nisemonogatari was a complete zzzzzzzzzz and Nekomonogatari started off good but really should've been like 2eps instead of 4 because there's not a ton of story and it's just a lot of filler talking which is when monogatari is at its weakest.

You know what? I'm looking for anime recommendations and since the bore is a much more sane crowd that won't recommend things the receipt obviously doesn't want I thought it would be the best place.

I'm looking for tv shows. Not too  long. No shounen stuff and preferably not dealing with high school stuff. Something a 25+ person can actually watch.

What kind of anime do I like? Gundam, Evangelion, Giant Robo, Macross Plus, Bebop, Nadesico, Gurren Lagann, Utena, Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Beserk, Escaflowne, and well that's mostly what I've kept around since my anime dvd purge. So I'm looking for something that has solid storytelling basically. Something not too dumb. Thing's I've liked recently would include Iron Blooded Orphans, Fate Zero, A Women Called Fujiko Mine, The New Italian Lupin thingy, and that's about it. I like fun stuff, but wouldn't mind something meaty.

Thanks.

Baccano, but you've probably seen it.  Black Lagoon?  GiTS SAC?  Guessing you've seen all of those. 

If you want something that's more character writing, less giant story, I'd recommend Tatami Galaxy if you didn't watch that.  Since you're in the Voltron mecha mood, if you haven't seen it and you're willing to sit through episodic for a while, Gaogaigar -> Gaogaigar Final is amazing by the finish.  Really has a great payoff in the end but it's a long, sometimes boring, ride.

This is available on Amazon Prime.jp and looks interesting. Is it steampunk? What's the deal with the train?

It's not as focused as I'd like it to be, but it does have a slightly more interesting spin on a zombie apocalypse than other stories. Lots of "sigh, Japan" though, so beware. It only becomes fully apparent once he starts travelling with a schoolgirl. :doge

Kabaneri is definitely steampunk and the train is where most of the characters live, traveling to different towns/stations and to keep them safe from the Kabane. After a certain episode it might get too over the top/ridiculous for some people but I found the show to be rather enjoyable. Best OP this season too.

Rahxephon asking for anime recs? That's like PD asking who the best black dick pornstars are.
I actually don't watch much anime anymore. Watching the first 4 episodes of Iron Blooded Orphans is the most anime I've seen since 2013 when I watched Fate Zero.

Also this may be the best place to ask this question. What is the best way to stream MKV files to play on your tv? I know the PS4 and Xbox can play them, but it wasn't the best and you can't control subs and audio. I know the Apple TV 2 has VLC on it and the workaround I had with the Apple TV 1 kind of worked, but again not the best. Anyone try those Intel Computers on a Stick? Do those work well?

Speaking of Blame and Tsutomu Nihei, is his shit agreed upon as pretty incomprehensible?  Blame is a little easier to follow, but Biomega was just like wut wait there's a talking bear on a motorcycle and now there are other bears and cool architecture and indecipherable action scene wut wut 

I love it, he might have my favorite style and it's all dripping with kick ass post-apocalyptic atmosphere but a lot of times I'm just lost concerning the plot.

Impulse bought Abandoned Sacred Beasts on the description alone

Quote
During a protacted civil war that pitted the North against the South, the outnumbered Northerners used dark magic to create monsterous super-soldiers called Incarnates. Now that the war has ended, those Sacred Beasts must learn to make their way in a peaceful society, or face death at the hands of a Beast Hunter.

Nancy Schaal Bancroft, the daughter of an Incarnate, turns to hunting the hunter herself. But once she catches up with her quarry, she discovers hard truths about the lives of these Sacred Beasts.

New Berserk looks off  :-\
More than off, positively 'eh'. They hit the tone, but the music is bleh and the animation quality doesn't bode well for any upcoming action. Looks like it's gonna have the typical uneven quality of a TV productionm where they save their budget for some pivotal scenes and shoestring it for everything else.
It's highlighted particularly well when he gives the tree monster a sagittal cut. Freeze-framing the moment and blasting dramatic music over it is the exact opposite of impactful, but it's probably much, much cheaper than to actually animate a much shorter scene of its body reacting to getting hit by an absurd weapon. Disappointing nonetheless. They even go out of their way to fetishize his sword, but then they cheap out like this. I wanna see bits limbs off and pirouette through the air as he smoothly transitions to the next cut, not a bunch of glorified stills. :<

Watched Berserk, enjoyed it a bunch.  Other than rushed storytelling and some poor action direction, I thought it was fine and a solid start. 

Then again I play fucking rpgs, I'm fine with CG storytelling and some ugly art.  I was actually impressed how close to 2d it looked in some shots.

Also was way more violent than I expected.  Nailed the tone.  Might be a lot closer adaptation than I expected.  And Puck and Isidro!  Oh man, so happy to finally get post eclipse berserk animated.  I hope Shirke in the opening means the anime will at least go past where she's introduced.  Her and Serpico are my faves.

Hope this gets a season two.  24 eps is probably enough to do about half the story post-eclipse.  They could probably get to the boat with a 2nd season.

I already waste too much time marathoning shit. Right now I'm doing Arrested Development for the xth time, along with OITNB and the bevy of movies I'm burning through.

And I always watch Toonami if I'm free, so it seems like a great way to watch it without going out of my way. Since it's apparently short, spacing it out to an ep a week will probably be better anyways.

Parasyte on Toonami was some hype shit. Cliffhangers have so much more of an impact with a week wait between episodes.

Yeah, it seems that they're going to contract it a bunch, cut out some fluff, move up later introductions. What they did in the first episode was smart. Even Farnese and Serpico already showed up. I wonder which apostles they're going to leave in until he's assembled his RPG party.

I need some recs for some shows that you can't put down.  They don't have to be good necessarily, but a lot of the good/great shows I've been watching over the last couple of years haven't been "need next episode" continuing cliffhanger exciting narrative adventure.  A lot of good/great shows also tend to be more character pieces so they're slower and less engaging than plot-based stuff.  I've got enough shows that I'm watching one episode or two a week, I posted earlier that I'd just finished Yamato 2199, and I'm watching Garo, Shirobako.

Here's stuff in my backlog.  Are any of them the kind of stuff that you finish in a couple of sittings and can't put down?  I blew through Mr. Robot last weekend and it was a blast.  I miss anime like that.  Anyhow this is what I have in my backlog to watch:  Concrete Revolutio, Ping Pong, Aldnoah Zero, Ano Hana, Erased, Captain Earth, Durarara X2, God Eater, Kill La Kill, Knights of Sidonia, Majestic Prince, Noragami, Space Dandy, Steins;Gate, Uchoten Kazoku, Valvrave. 

Also have some OAVs in my backlog like Code Geass Akito the Exiled & Towa no Kuon and a ton of movies like like 4 Ghibli Films (Poppy Hill, Marine, Wind Rises, Kaguyahime), Ibaro no Ou, Hoshi wo omou kodomo, Memoirs of a Huntress, Eden of East movies.

Yeah, I've got quite a bit of a backlog ^^;  That's what happens when you stop watching anime around 2013 but still backlog the good stuff to watch someday.  I've seen like 1 anime/year since 2013 (Gundam Build Fighters S1, Fate/Zero, Iron-Blood Orphans S1, Yamato 2199).

I know, I'm just not a fan of the designs.  If I wanted to experience the Arslan story I'd read the original manga or watch the old anime instead.

I guess I'll get some hate here, but I really don't like Fullmetal Alchemist.

I liked the original series even if there's some dumb anime original stuff in it.  The direction by Mizushima was excellent and the anime was crazy stylish.  Had fantastic music too.  Was just an all around great production and even the movie true ending was cool.

Brotherhood is literally the manga, in speed through form, it's kind of visually boring and standard to watch imo and I didn't really like the manga that much so I don't prefer brotherhood's story direction over the anime original ending of the first series.

There is no "original manga" for this series, btw.  It's a novel series that is still on-going AFAIK and has had more than one adaptation.

I was watching some ep1s and I realized I don't really care about animation quality/art in anime anymore.  Like I watched Nightow's Blood Brigade Blockade ep1 the other day and yeah the animation was all nice and fluid but it was just another shounen call out your moves and slash a dozen guys at once thing and put me to sleep.  I liked Erased ep1, but that was for the story, not the animation, can't recall a thing about the animation/art.  And like I said on the last page I enjoyed Berserk despite it looking ugly, the only part that actually took me out of it was the giant tree monster which was like PS1 CG but it's a fucking giant tree monster who gives a shit.  *shrug*  I like Garo a lot, but that's mainly because the character designs are retro styled and I dig the retro anime look.  The CG action is ugly but whatever I enjoy it.

Guess I gotta turn in my anime card.

Although I'll admit I do have one last elitism hold on that I'll probably never give up in anime, which is I still don't care for CG mecha.  2d robots for life.

Blew through most of Erased tonight.  Will finish it next session.  I like it but the show would be a lot better if they didn't make it really obvious who the killer was early on in the show from the character design & later through the voice actor.  Unless it turns out to be a red herring I guess.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Just what you'd expect from the master!
Post by: Bebpo on July 10, 2016, 05:41:41 AM
Nm, couldn't stop watching it.  Finished the show.  Yeah good show but they shouldn't have let the audience know who the killer was right away + the final ep was kind of dumb, but was still somewhat satisfying so enjoyable show.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Forget his master plan in the end of knowing the guy would take him to the roof and he'd fall at an exact spot, moreover how do you end up in a coma from drowning.  Unless the implication was the teacher went back and saved him, but if that's it, it wasn't very clear. 

Moreover since the audience knew the teacher was the killer it was frustrating seeing the guy miss all the obvious clues.  Like he has this power of the future but he still does a pretty shite job using that to catch the bad guy.  But anime, so whatever.

Watched ReLife on Crunchyroll (all 13 episodes are up) over the last few days.  The show is about a "half-NEET" 27 year-old who quit his job after three months, couldn't find anything else, and now just works part-time while otherwise being a shut-in.  He gets approached by a dude offering him a job -to take part in a year-long experiment- which involves him taking a pill that will make him look 10 years younger and going back to the high school.

The idea here is that "losers" get to go back to school and grow more socially, but there's kind of a flaw here in that the main character really is already a good guy and not socially-awkward.  But that's OK, because it ends up being about him helping high school students to grow and start relationships.  He's also, predictably, not the only ReLife guy around.

What sets this apart from a lot of your other typical crap is that the show has some really good characters and decent humor.  It's not harem crap and just a solid story about relationships and improving oneself.  If I have any real complaint, it's that the show ends too abruptly, but it's based on a web-comic and I guess they just ran out of material.

Anyway, it's worth a watch.  My wife absolutely loved it and also loved how they use different older songs as the end credits.  I didn't know any of them but she was singing along, lol.

I watched the Macross Plus Movie Version a few days ago. See, I was trying out my new set-up. I had to order a 30ft HDMI cord to hook my computer up to my tv for good ole streaming(the PS4 and Xbox just can't do MKV streaming from my cloud) and to test it I played a few high quality HD rips like the Evangelion Blu ray and Macross PLus. Hey, I'll buy these Blu rays if they actually release them here. Anyway, I've only ever seen the OVA version of PLus because thats what I own and was easy to purchase. So when I downloaded the Blu ray torrents I must have only downloaded the movie. I put it on as a simple test and ended up just watching it. I forgot how good Plus is. It's more mature then I think 95% of anime. The characters are really actual adults complete with being kind of shitty and selfish adults. Honestly, the characters kind of behave in real ways(except maybe that episode 4 rule of cool battle). I don't know, Plus is just anime at it's best. A well plotted story which the movie version cuts all the fat out. Plus it's got some awesome mech battles with Guld vs Isamu final battle simply being one of my favorite scenes in anime.

Plus is one of the titles I recommend to people who aren't into anime. One because it seems kind of overlooked now and because it isn't filled with anime bullshit.

Anyway, I'm going to start watching some of the anime people here recommended.

I did watch episode 1 of Blood Blockade. It had some nice animation and a cool style. Story could be cool, but I'm not sure what to make out of it.

Aldoh Zero I've got and that Iron Fortress show. I'm going to watch Akito of the Exiled because it's over now.

Also Gundam stuff! Thunderbolt looks awesome and I've been watching Iron Blooded Orphans on Toonami. Episode 5 was kind of one of the best Space Battles I've seen in Gundam, I don't know it just seemed to actually account for well.................it being space unlike Seed where shit just happens and people spam lasers and whatnot. Show seems to be good. Also Origin looks great, but I've read the manga.

Also man I downloaded the Giant Robo Blu ray rips. GIANT ROBO IS AN ANIME MASTERPIECE PEOPLE!

More new animuu~

91 Days- Mafia drama, taking place during the prohibition era, but in what does not appear to be the States and in some lawless territory.  The main character's family were brutally murdered by gangsters when he was a kid and he runs away, only to come back later to meet up with his buddy, who has become a bootlegger.  Has a few character designs that look a bit too modern, but other than that I liked the first episode.

Shokugeki No Soma- Season 2 is underway, picking up right from where the first season left off.  I never thought I'd like a show about cooking battles...but it's fun.

Mob Psycho 100- Has a bit of a weird/ugly art style (on purpose) and is about a con-artist "psychic" who has fooled a junior high school kid into being his protege.  Only the protege, Mob, is actually psychic and can use his powers to stop/exorcise ghosts.  Good for some laughs.

Masou Gakuen HxH- This season's  :nsfw anime.  Did I say  :nsfw?  Better make that  :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw.  This is sort of like Valkyrie Drive, only dialed up even more and with a dude instead of all girls.  There's weird monsters invading and naturally only high school kids with special powers to summon "armor" (AKA next to nothing) and weapons and shit can save them!  But how do they power up?  Why, by being fondled and made to orgasm, of course!   This show is so lewd that a network or two banned it from airing in Japan.  :lol

I really enjoyed Berserk ep2.  Thought it looked better, the material is good, hirasawa susumu song, puck being the comedy guy is great.  Like the biggest downside is obviously the action animation and they're speeding through the material soooo fast there's like almost no pause between dialogue lines.  The directing is ok imo.  It's not amazing but it's not poorly directed; I find it serviceable. 

I dunno, I'm really enjoying and excited about seeing all this Berserk manga get animated!  Like I'm even ok with them speeding through since who knows if we'll ever get another season and if they get through like 10 years of material in 24 eps, more chance to see some of the really good parts animated.

But like I've been a Berserk fan since since early 2000s, and used to post and read a tone on Skullknight.net forum every chapter.  I love the dreamcast game, I love the PS2 game.  Finally seeing the post-Golden Age stuff animated and stuff like Serpico & Puck animated makes me really happy.  Can't wait for the Musou game as well.  So I'm pretty biased.

I read Miura is writing the script for ep3, excited!

Black Swordsman is after. Well, it's both, but I mean the stuff after. Episode 2 is already WELL after, where he's getting captured by Farnese. He's already escaped by the end of the episode.

There have only been some minor flashbacks to Golden Age stuff, like Guts' fight against the 100, but they're not going to go through the entire thing again.

91 Days- Mafia drama, taking place during the prohibition era, but in what does not appear to be the States and in some lawless territory.  The main character's family were brutally murdered by gangsters when he was a kid and he runs away, only to come back later to meet up with his buddy, who has become a bootlegger.  Has a few character designs that look a bit too modern, but other than that I liked the first episode.

Shokugeki No Soma- Season 2 is underway, picking up right from where the first season left off.  I never thought I'd like a show about cooking battles...but it's fun.

Mob Psycho 100- Has a bit of a weird/ugly art style (on purpose) and is about a con-artist "psychic" who has fooled a junior high school kid into being his protege.  Only the protege, Mob, is actually psychic and can use his powers to stop/exorcise ghosts.  Good for some laughs.

Masou Gakuen HxH- This season's  :nsfw anime.  Did I say  :nsfw?  Better make that  :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw.  This is sort of like Valkyrie Drive, only dialed up even more and with a dude instead of all girls.  There's weird monsters invading and naturally only high school kids with special powers to summon "armor" (AKA next to nothing) and weapons and shit can save them!  But how do they power up?  Why, by being fondled and made to orgasm, of course!   This show is so lewd that a network or two banned it from airing in Japan.  :lol
:dead
I went to kissanime and watched the first episode of that last one. I cannot believe that was meant to air on regular TV here. That's quite explicit content for actual standard broadcast.

And it's horrible writing to boot. I mean, I know I'm the guy complaining about the plot in a porno here, but there are wide swathes of people yammering at each other and fighting sequences, and it's all tropes and nonsensical tactics. Nobody has thought about anything. But otaku do love their conflicted girlfriend-mothers in bikinis, so whatever.

Do you like watching "tarento" sit around and talk about stupid shit and do stupid shit on variety shows?  Because that's what is popular over there.  And it's mostly awful.  The dramas are like bad live action anime.
I heard a joke about Japanese TV that is too true to be funny. There are three types of shows in Japan:
1. Shows about celebrities
2. Shows about food
3. Shows about celebrities eating food

I don't get a show like this, actually- why not just make it a full-on hentai with that kind of content?

Berserk ep3 was really terrible :(  And that was the ep written by Miura?  What.  Only redeeming part of ep3 was Serpico being awesome Serpico.  I really hate how creepy rapey Berserk manga was for a while.  Will be happy when they get past this stuff and into the more Gattsu and his crew material.

Ive seen a lot of anime, some recently, some months ago but I don't always post about it, so here are my :expert thoughts:

Berserk 2016 is good, does it look very good? lol no but it's very entertaining. The sound when Guts swings his sword is great, I laughed at first but the sound has such a unique effect, it really works for me. I think it's a mistake to compare the quality to a PS2 game, you should compare to other CGI series like Sidonia,Bubuki Buranki or even western shows like TMNT or Star Wars. Does it look good compared to those shows? lol no but I think it's a fairer comparison than a video game. However I don't know the difference in making a CGI cutscene in a game and making a CGI series, could be a lot, could be none. I'm no expert.

Please Save My Planet is 6 part OVA series, nice shoujo stuff, alien reincarnation and psychic powers if I remember correctly.

Cyber City Oedo 808,Wicked City and Demon City were good stuff. I think I've seen most Kawajiri works aside from Highlander.

The Last: Naruto the Movie and Boruto were really nice, I preferred Boruto because it was shorter and had a simpler story. High quality looking movies especially Boruto.

I like Twin Star Exorcists/Sousei no Onmyouji because it's nice simple action show about fighting,training and hijinks. It does nothing really special but it's a nice show.

Jojo,Mob Psycho,Days,Bananya,Taboo Tattoo,D.Grayman,Sweetness and Lighting,Thunder Bolt Fantasy are all nice. There are some stuff I'm forgetting, so I'll make another :expert post in the future.

stop bullying berserk.

It's kind of whack how shitty shows like SAO can have fantastic animation while fucking Berserk has to look like garbage.

Well, I mean it makes perfect sense.  Berserk is so wildly different from what is the marketable anime market these days full of boobs, waifus, comedies and all-female harem casts.  I can see why getting a gritty violent show about a rough ugly dude with a big sword killing ugly monsters in faux-medieval europe is a tough sell in Japan right now.  I'm guessing the show will probably too awful in ratings/sales and we won't get another Berserk anything for another 18 years or so when the manga finishes and maybe Japan's moved away from the waifus.

I actually think the idea some people were floating that Berserk should be picked up by HBO as a live-action TV show fits more than it does as a Japanese anime in both markets.  I mean shit, HBO does the Golden Age arc and that finale would totally be the next red wedding.

Also I'm reading Berserk anime is only set for 12 episodes?  That sucks.  Even at this speed they're not going to get all that far with just 12.  Was hoping for at least 24 eps.  The Musou game will definitely get further since it's going through the Millennial Falcon arc.

To make another :expert post: Stuff like Berserk would be a tough sell regardless of the time(80s,90s,today). The 1997 version according to some quick googling only had DVD Boxset release at first and only sold around 2500K. The closest thing to Berserk that I think sold well was Record of Lodoss War but that's straight up light hearted compared to Berserk.

oh i'd be up for anime church but ghost stories is kinda pleb tier tbh brehs.

Highlander is good. In the sense that it's still 100% a kawajiri joint and hits all the things you expect him to hit. Make sure you look for the director's/international cut.

It'd be a good watch for the bore plug though

Berserk is going to continue to be stingy with the frames, huh*. They're also boiling it down so drastically, it's probably become hard to follow for anyone unfamiliar with the source. Puck even implored Guts to fight like usual, even though he barely knows him in this version. Targeting mainly the manga readers doesn't strike me as a good idea. The sound of the sword is growing on me, though, despite it resonating like a bell. Speaking of, the possessed horse sounded way too funny for what was happening. At least distort the actors voice, people, wtf. :lol

...I'm so down on this show. orz

*I hope for at least the fight against Zodd to consist of more than a bunch of key poses straight from the manga, with a ton of superfluous close-ups of their faces.

It's a one of the best directed shows about dealing with social anxiety and depression, something a lot of 15 year olds (especially in Japan) can relate to.  If you can't relate at all then yeah I can see it being a case of a show about a bunch of losers and annoying to watch.

3.0 was fine (or at least, it was new), the intro alone puts to shame anything featured in the 2 first films which overall are big budget remakes with mediocre inspiration and so so production values considering their means. Not surprised to learn they're going in blind and that 4.0 never really was a thing in production. Honestly he should shit a nonsense script (that's what it will be anyway) with Mary being a time traveler and Shinji's martian mother or something and let Tsurumaki & gang do their crazy stuff. I'll certainly dig something fresh and wild with Diebuster shades than yet another retreading.

:gurl I'm one of the saddest motherfuckers you'll ever meet and I still thought Shinji was a bitch ass motherfucker.

You don't have to like him, it's about relating to some of the themes.  Stuff like abandonment "ah, another unfamiliar ceiling" is very well portrayed.  The live action portion of EoE in Shinji's mind where he tries to convince himself it's still worth the effort to live with others vs isolation is one of the most artistically beautiful sequences on social anxiety ever made.  And it's right there from the start with the porcupine dilemma.  Shinji's struggle with the idea that getting close to people is scary and hurts but it's still worth it because of what other's bring is the core theme throughout the whole show.

tldr; is gud

Berserk ep4 was a little better since it was more people talking which the show handles alright, and less rape horse (although he still makes a flashback cameo).  The Mogus stuff was decent and sorta captured the spirit, just way uglier.  Kind of looking forward to the next few eps because that gets further into the meat of the arc, but this was an ok start.

Man Akito of the Exiled is really terrible. The plot is so dumb. Now Code Geass was dumb, but Lulu was an engaging character. The plot was so crazy and full of energy that it was fun. There was a lot of excitement and at least the playing around of some sort of themes and whatnot.

Akito has no fun or engaging characters and is filled with those emotionally cold anime types that I'm really starting to hate. It has a villain that straight up sucks. It's story is just dry and really has nothing going on. And Lulu and Suzaku show up for no real reason other then to be in it. God I am so tired of anime characters waxing the same philosophy bullshit about live, how bad mankind is, and whatnot. Except it's worse in Akito because this show literally brings nothing cool to the table and is literally a repeat of every conversation you've ever seen in an anime ever.

It's one of the worst things I've seen in a while.

Jesus christ it bums me out how bad CG Berserk is. Like it bugs me more than animu trash ever should.

It's just so bad. Even the clearly low-budget animation in the original Berserk anime is preferable.

I think I'm the only person who is enjoying the hell out of Berserk.  It's trashy adaptation, but it's super entertaining re-experiencing the manga story at breakneck speed.  My only complaint is that halfway through the 12 ep show we're not getting that far.  Really wanted to see Trolls, and Millenium Falcon.  But we'd need at least 24-36 eps to get there even at this speed.

Yeah it's really ugly, but I have low standards when I like the story/characters.  I've watched some ugly as shit anime like Moonlight Mile because the story is engaging.  Otoh, I can't watch gorgeous animation that's slice of life because it bores the hell out of me.

Although I have to admit this adaptation is really playing up the perverted stuff (yet no nipples; weird contrast) which is cringe.  Ep6 has literally animated vaginal ejaculation yet somewhat censors snake penis.  But what I actually get out of Berserk 2016 is that it would fit really well, more than any other anime, on HBO, Starz, or Cinemax.  It's a cool story surrounded by sex & violence porn.  Perfect for cable USA TV.

My favorite use of 3DCG in a primarily 2D show that I've seen was in Penguindrum, where the places they used it seemed to specifically use the lo-fi 3DCG aesthetic for an incongruous mechanistic feeling.

Finally finished my rewatch of Evangelion after getting the idea in recursive's separate thread. Watched all 26 TV eps, and the 25-26 from EoE which I hadn't seen before (I watched all the TV eps on second-gen copied VHS tapes in the late 90:s).

Gotta say I was a bit disappointed by EoE after all the hype from the internets. I get that people love ep 25 because of all the action scenes, but the altered animation style doesn't look as good somehow. I liked the TV ending better, I think.

Rewatched Gundam Thunderbolt with a friend whose sometimes into anime, but generally avoids it.  They liked it a good deal.  Then since I was in the Gundam re-watching mood, I rewatched Unicorn ep7 again, skipping around a bit.  Still full of nonsense jedi magic overload, but still amazingly entertaining.  I kinda respect how Unicorn takes the newtype thing 8000% with a straight face by the end.  It's the most Japanese star wars anime ever.

Gonna finish up Iron Blood Orphans S1 tomorrow.  Have 3 eps left and it's fun even if I think it's not quite as good as the first 10eps which were nothing but great.
One day I'll finally catch up on Gundam anime.  Still gotta watch Build Fighters Try and V Gundam and The Origin as well as finishing up G Reco.  I like that the franchise is alive enough with consistent releases that it's actually pretty tough to catch up.  Means there's always some new Gundam to watch.

Finished Iron-Blood Orphans S1.  Not sure what to think.  Was a weird final arc.  I have no idea what S2 is going to be about, but it's really going to be up to S2 to determine the quality of the show as a Gundam show.  Unlike a lot of S1/S2 splits, this one doesn't feel self-contained at all.  More detailed spoiler thoughts below:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
ok finished
that was such a weird show
like OO S1 was a lot stronger in the end, but IBO had a really good start
it's just sort of...I'm not sure where it's going
so instead of S1 feeling satisfyingly conclusive
it's just sort of...."well, I have NO IDEA what S2 is going to be about, so I hope it's good!"
ep24 got weird.  The timeskip where they go from the train into the city to it's been days and there at a standstill in fighting with the city and gjallahorn
Then Ein super mech comes and kills 3 named characters in a row which is pretty overkill and brutal
Then Mikazuki is put in a situation where he simply cannot win vs the 2 gundams
but then Evil Char saves him because it's all planned
and oh yeah Carta woman died at the end of ep23 but it was done so poorly it didn't even seem like it
and then ep25 Mikazuki literally cannot win
against Ein mech
like all the good strategies in the show in the first half
where Tekkaden is underpowered but they win because they take gambles and have good strategies
which is the best type of gundam fights
good strategies
but Mika vs Ein is like Ein has better Alawhatever system so he's power 9000 and Mika's Ala system is only power 8000 so Mika can only beat Power 7999 or below enemies
and then Mika wins by sacrificing more of his body to up his Alaration so he gets to power 9500 and then he's faster and kills Ein no problem
now the problem with this is that instead of being about battle strategy, it seems like they've established that whoever has the higher Alawhatever sync ratio is always stronger and will beat the other
so theoretically evil Char in S2 can just build a better sync mech than whatever sync Mika is at and be impossible for Mika to beat
it's sort of awkward weird system that I find really unsatisfying
like if Ein wasn't SO OVERPOWERED it wouldn't have seemed like everything is just based on who has the stronger sync ratio
I don't know if that was a good idea
also making it where everything is just a stage set by evil char is sort of takes the impact out of the final arcs in S1
like it's already been decided and schemed by evil char
it's not Tekkaden's own will and strength and strategy that is moving them forward like it was in the first 13 eps
I think once evil char came in the plot got kind of wierdly detached
like it's still solid and well done, but I felt like it was missing impact and I didn't care about the characters and what was going on enough
Also the characters haven't grown that much.  Like Mika really feels kind of weird characters arc right now.  In S2 is he basically going to keep sacrificing more and more of his humanity to become more machine sync and that's the wrong path and ultimately he'll have to go away from that?  Idk
And now that McGillis is in charge of reforming Gjallahorn, what's he going to do with it?  Is S2 going to be about a world war that erupts across Earth and the Colonies?  I really have no idea what S2 is going to be about
At least IBO S1 wasn't a mess, it's no Destiny or AGE or anything.  But I'd probably give it like 8/10 at this point whereas the first 10eps were like 9.5/10 really good gundam.  It's just sort of doing a show thing and we'll see if S2 gets to that epic amazing gundam finale feel that S1 didn't really have

Here's the order of release (which is not the chronological order, but it is the order you should watch them in). These are all on Crunchyroll.

1. Bakemonogatari
2. Nisemonogatari
3. Nekomonogatari: Black
4. Monogatari Second Season
5. Hanamonogatari (Episodes are listed under "Monogatari Second Season" on Crunchyroll)
6. Tsukimonogatari
7. Owarimonogatari

Also:
8. Koyomimonogatari (Web Series, not on Crunchyroll)
9. Kizumonogatari (Theatrical Film Trilogy, not available on Home Video yet)

Yes!

I can't say much for the sequels as all the ones I've seen have been kind of eh with occasional hilarious, but the first series is super stylish and funny (but very perverted, be warned).  Probably top20 anime for me.  Nisemonogatari was boring, Nekomonogatari was ok.  Next up is Monogatari 2nd Season for me.  Keep hoping some of the remaining series will reach the highs of Bakemonogatari.

I don't know if you've ever seen it but you can always watch the 1999 HxH series if you're pining for a fix. It's different sure, but it's still HxH. I've never seen it myself though and I'm almost positive it's not on CR,Hulu,etc, so you'd have to find it through other means.

But you get to see Gon,Killua and company again with glorious 90's cel animation.

I'm really impressed with Thunderbolt Fantasy. The fights are fantastic and the story is simple yet engaging. The names are hard to remember, though.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
For the longest, Vapewizard was the most suspicious character, even after we got a serial killer and an actual demon. Then it turns out that we've been gathering up a squad of bad guys so they can steal this fabled sword from another bad guy and they all betray the main character and the sheltered girl. Vapewizard is basically Lupin

Funimation and Crunchyroll announced a partnership today, the net result of which puts all dubbed shows from both companies on Funimation and all subbed shows on Crunchyroll. Cowboy Bebop is the first Funimation show to go up on Crunchyroll with the rest coming soon.

Works for me-- can save some money by ditching Funimation.

Well, Berserk 2016 totally blew the final episode.  Pretty annoyed since I was really looking forward to this event being animated.  S2 in 2017, who knows what they will cover.  Hope they improve certain things by next year.

Also hope Berserk Musou does a better job of the end of this arc.

GUNDAM is back on.  Ep1 of Iron-Blood Orphans S2 was alright.  Kudelia's re-design is much better although there's this weird lack of consistency because there are SO MANY CHARACTERS that some look older post timeskip, yet others like Mika look exactly the same.  Man, buncha new characters.  I don't know, I mean S1 while solid, not much happened in the 25 eps.  I really don't know if they can pull off a full epic political space war drama with these billion characters satisfyingly in 25eps based on the first season.  Hope they do, but gonna be tough!

KEIJO!! Episode 1: This is the anime series about girls competing in butt-battles with each other, that had such a ridiculous preview video earlier in the year.

SURPRISE- THEY USE THEIR BOOBS, TOO!  :o

So the insane premise here is that girls get on top of floating platforms and try to knock each other into the pool...using only their chests and asses. And this is a top national pro sport.  :lol

I LOL'd hard on this one- because it totally takes itself completely serious and has long, drawn out sports-battles.  Good animation/detail (lawl) too.  The tits and ass essentially become fists and they do all kinds of special moves to each other.  This is what made me crack the hell up laughing.  It's also not as perverted as you might think.  I mean, don't get me wrong-- it's TITS AND ASSES FLYING IN YOUR FACE, but the focus is on fighting so it's just over the top insanity.

Watch this for a good laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Finally got around to watching the Little Witch Academia 2 movie I got through kickstarter.  Was just ok.  I think 50 mins was kind of stretching it, so while the first one was a fun like 30 min short this was a bit dull for the first half.  The second half with the parade had a lot of nice animation and was enjoyable but never really felt exciting and lacked momentum.  The original was very ghibli-esque, whereas this one doesn't feel that it captures that right note.  It was still fine, and I think kids would really like it, but it didn't do much for me /shrug.  Otoh the making of feature was kind of neat on the BD.

I would be worried about where they would go with this though because they did a time skip, I bet it will go all romantic drama. Their definitely was romantic motivations to some of the characters but the series handled it with there is no time for this shit mentality.

I binge watched The Big O and loved it. Not sure how I feel about the ending, but it doesn't bring down the rest of the show for me.

Only episode I don't like was the 14th, honestly. Too screwy too early. The show would have benefitted from not having it.

Isn't Big O by the same crew that did the Giant Robo anime? Maybe they just have trouble finishing.

I liked both seasons, but season 2 looked too clean presumably because of the digital animation. It didn't have that rough quality that the first season had that really lent to the post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

Isn't Big O by the same crew that did the Giant Robo anime?

Nah, they were made by completely different companies. The Big O crew did work on a bunch of episodes of Batman: TAS, though.

There's a 4 episode season that aired during the summer but I'm not sure if Netflix has it licensed. They probably do tho. A proper season 2 will air next year.

I'm finally watching Bebop after all these years. It's good and I love the setting (also probably one of the only animes I've ever seen with black and hispanic characters) but I kinda wish there was more of an overarching plot to draw me in... I'm up to about episode 20.

I call bunk on this study. I was wondering where they were getting their stats from, then I realized that their top artists list, listed as books (Power Play!, Cute Devil Girlfriend, Naughty Boobs, Love Hair, and Vagina Manifesto) are all Project-H publications. This means that these aren't stats reflective of a wider variety of things searched for on the internet, nor are the reflective of which country views the most hentai or which types of genres are most popular. These are likely just internal stats Project-H collects for where they ship their own books to. Keep in mind that they have a very limited selection, and from what I can see... mostly older, or less popular artists that fill their catalog (compared to what you would see on a site like Fakku, for example). The only thing these stats reflect is what Project-H has to offer, and it's not a lot.

The Sea Prince and the Fire Child is on Crunchyroll. You'd probably be hard pressed to find any of the rest of those outside of torrents or a moldy old VHS.

The lady who ranted about Keijo (which completely backfired-- she even notes that she got a bunch of responses thanking her for introducing it to them  :lol) is back with more on the DREADED FAN SERVICE! (http://kotaku.com/animes-fan-service-can-be-a-minefield-1789730580)

Fucking up right in the first paragraph.
Quote
Today, how you feel about panty shots can determine how you feel about anime as a whole. And it’s not just panty shots. In the blockbuster anime Food Wars, women’s clothes burst off their bodies when they taste an exquisite bite of steak. Skirts often don’t cover the bottom halves of women’s butts in Prison School. Breasts are regularly the first body part to enter a shot in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?. In the West, the practice of lacing gratuitous sexuality—and especially female sexuality—into an anime is known as “fan service.” Love it or hate it, anime studios have made a conscious effort to feature “fan service” in most of this year’s Western-subbed anime titles.

1. Food Wars regularly has both the females and the guys' clothes 'explode' when they taste the food. 
2. Prison School isn't a "fan service" show.  It's a blatant sex/gross-out-comedy. There's crazy shit and nudity going on for both sexes.  Maybe she should actually watch the stuff she's criticizing.
3. I don't remember seeing boobs all over the place in that last show.  But I also don't remember.  It was generally pretty forgettable.

It should be pretty easy to get examples of blatant female fan service, but somehow she manages to fail, again.

My original excuse : I've wanted to watch ghibli in a nice format (not streaming on my shitty monitor)

But then I remembered I own Howl's & Poppy Hill on Blu ray and they're still in their shrinkwrap

I think I just have a problem putting things off

Local theatre only shows all of them 1-2 times a year so I can't miss it now

Mononoke is definitely my favorite of the 5 I've seen so far (5 more to go)

Code Geass probably counts.

And of course I maxed out every female S-Link in Persona 4. My character was a complete scumbag.

Honestly I always thought every part of Evangelion shipping is wrong, if only because they're all 14 years old.
I mean yeah Shinji and Asuka are obviously in full puberty and getting worked by their hormones. That doesn't however mean there's a lot more there than raw nascent sexual attraction going on or teens fooling around awkwardly, in fact it's shown and said quite explicity that Shinji only has a very superficial understanding and commitment to all the women around him.

Fans "shipping" those poor disoriented teens like they were romantic soulmates for life always had :kobeyuck undertones to me.

That being said I'm very much in agreement that Asuka is the only character which would even qualify as a suitable (abusive) girlfriend. Rei is a massive Oedipean rubber ball and a stunted forever child. Misato is date rape. Kaworu is a fucking alien !
Evangelion couldn't be more of Fixation : It's bad for you; Live the present and let go : The Animated TV show if it tried and yet the fandom...

As for Mari, I kinda like the character but she's such a big void of nothing (and I don't expect the final film to provide anything else than some ridiculous bullshit as her backstory) that :yeshrug

I just ordered vol1 of the Gundamn Thunderbolt manga, it looks interesting, and I saw this one manga named "Ninja Slayer" that looks like it could be my kind of stuff. Reviews online are confusing. Any bore impression? Ninjas, guns, cyberpunk stuff. Looks nest

I'm a man of simple needs, I honestly prefer mangas and animes with lots of violence (the fun 80's and '90 style stuff, not the creepy violence porn stuff), robots and cool gunfights. I guess i'm stuck in the past but eh.

I deeply enjoyed BioMega, vinland saga vol1, pluto (I think this was recommended here) and I started the first volume of Death Note, which I somehow enjoyed. I also have those Ghost In the Shells remaster pre-ordered at amazon, I like the anime. I also bought the entire Akira run a while ago, but its in my backlog right now.  I liked the first 3 volumes of Lone Wolf and Cub but the formula got very repetitive.

One day i'm gonna start Berserk but i'm kind of  :doge at all those talks of animu rapes scene. I don't want that kind of stuff in my collection. Also it looks like there are 4821 volumes so that might get expensive and tbh, my time is limited..

Any suggestions of interresting stuff is welcomed

Post by: Joe Molotov on February 05, 2017, 07:18:16 PM
Here's the shows I'm watching this season:

The Saga of Tanya the Evil
Hilarious. :lol It's about this misanthropic salaryman that gets killed after casually firing a subordinate and has to face God (who he refuses to believe exists, and names "Being X" instead). God finds his continued atheism annoying, and decides to reincarnate him into a crappy life so that he'll have to rely on God this time. When he wakes up, he's been reborn (as a girl, Tanya) in a magical prewar Nazi Germany, but with all the knowledge of her previous life intact. Tanya has to use all the knowledge of the 21st century, all the ruthlessness of a Japanese salaryman, and all of her magic (which she has for some reason because anime) to win WWI & II for Germany, while still keeping her atheism intact. Deus vult!

Konosuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World S2
Another "guy dies and gets sent to a magical world" (it's a popular anime trope atm) except this one is basically about the world's worst D&D party. He's got an archpriest/goddess who wasted most of her stat points on parlor tricks to show off at parties, an archmage who invested all her points into explosion magic and only knows a single high-level spell (Explosion) which drains all her mana for a single day every time she casts it, and a masochistic Paladin that has extremely high stats in every category except for luck, which is so low that every attack is a critical miss, however she (sexually) enjoys absorbing damage for the team.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Miss Kobayashi goes drinking, wanders into a forest, meets a dragon, befriends the dragon, the dragon wants to have sex with her, she does not want to have sex with the dragon, but she lets the dragon assume human form and become her maid in exchange for room and board. The End.
*This post has been sponsored by Bad-Dragon.com

Scum's Wish
A deliciously trashy highschool love-quadrilateral. Hana and Mugi are publicly dating, but privately both of them are in love with their teachers, Kanai-sensei and Minagawa-sensei. Noriko hates Hana and is in love with Mugi. Hana doesn't love Mugi, but she hates Noriko, so she enjoys acting possessive of Mugi when Noriko is around. Mugi is not in love with Noriko, but thinks of her as kind of a friend, so he's reluctant to outright reject her adavnces. Sanae is best friends with Hana but secretly is also in love with her. Hana is not in love with Sanae, but does have just a skosh of lesbian sex with her anyway.  Kanai-sensei is love with Minagawa-sensei, and Minagawa-sensei is secretly kind of ho that enjoys having sex with other women's men. Although Kana-senseii isn't dating anyone, Minagawa-sensei finds out that Hana is secretly love with him, so she decides to fuck him just to fuck with her.  :heart :heart :heart

Gantz O well that was terrible like the manga.  I don't know why I spent years glued to reading the Gantz manga, watching the anime and now watching this.  It worked a lot better in the middle of the manga when there were at least good mysteries driving the whole thing as to what Gantz is and who the aliens were.  But knowing the shitastic explainations and how the manga ended, it's pretty uninteresting outside the pulp violence and while the CG was good, the violence was toned down a ton and it was just kinda boring.  Whatever, Gantz sucks.

I recenltly bought both seasons of Code Geass on Blu ray among other older anime(Escaflowne ect). I've re-watched Geass many times, but not too recently. I mean the show is'nt good, but it's so much fun. It's just full of so much energy, fun characters, nice animation, and great direction. Yes, most of the twists are stupid, but they are just so crazy you can't help but watch.

Yet honestly it is a good spin on the post Gundam Seed and Death Note anime. Lulu is actually a fun protagonist, not deep but actually has something going on. I was watching aldnoah zero recently which is another pretty meh show with some good ideas. Yet, what is it with Japan and these boring emotionless leads? The character there is just so unbearable in his unhuman thoughts and reactions to everything. Yet that is'nt uncommon in anime or games. No one in Code Geass lacks personality or emotion.

I mean it's stupid fun. I also feel kind of old. It's 10 years old now and I remember fondly torrenting the show week from week waiting to see how crazy it would get. I remember all the gifs of it's dumb scenes. It's just such memorable shlock. It's follow ups never matched it.

Hope whatever the new one is, is good. Akito was awful.

Have you ever though to yourself "Queen's Blade was pretty good, but it had too much plot and character development getting in the way of my appreciation of big-titty anime babes"? Well, fortunately for you, Japan has heard your thoughts:

(http://i.imgur.com/DkvdgzB.jpg)
http://www.crunchyroll.com/seven-mortal-sins

Seven Mortal Sins is a big-titty anime babe delivery vehicle that has been specially designed to be as streamlined and efficient as possible, offering one big-titty anime babe per 0.35 seconds, well above the national average. There's also lots of aggressive yuri content and a total absence of Y chromosomes, if that's something you're into.

Oh, it's also highly blasphemous.

I've kind of lost track of what's new, since the Apple TV Crunchyroll app no longer lists shows by season.  Because doing that would make sense.   :-\

So for the new shows, I've seen:

Boruto- I'm not a Naruto fan but watched the first episode with my wife, who loves that shit.  It seemed OK I guess.  Like a return to how Naruto was when it first started.  That also seems like it could turn off a lot of people who were fans of the more serious stories.

Tsugumomo- Inanimate objects come to life as kawaii~ uguu~ girls and fight and shit. 

Eromanga Sensei- Wow, this is not what I was expecting based on the title.  :lol  The art style looks a lot like Sword Art Online and the main character's VA sounds like Kirito.  Heh.  Anyway, this is about a high school kid who also works as a light novel writer.  The artist who provides illustrations for his books goes by the name "Eromanga Sensei" and never shows himself to anyone.  He also talks shit about the main character's stories.  And the twist here is that Eromanga Sensei is the main character's little step sister, who is a shut-in and never leaves her room.  For some reason I expect this character get really popular among the loli-loving otaku creeps.

Also found an older series called Wooser's Hand-to-Mouth Life.  Wow...this is a some crazy shit.  :lol

Fun Fact: Darren Aronofsky liked Perfect Blue so much that he bought the international rights to the movie so that he could duplicate a scene from it in Requiem for a Dream.

Also, Wrath, go watch Paranoia Agent, if you haven't seen it already. It builds on a lot of themes from Perfect Blue.

I don't normally click this thread because of its name since I don't watch anime shows, but I'm really relieved to see you're talking about the good shit, not the typical moe moe kyun garbage I see everywhere on Twitter.

Even though I can't seem get into anime, I love original anime movies. Satoshi's work was so good, and Paprika is my favorite.
I've been recommended Paranoia Agent before based on my taste, so maybe I should actually give it a try.

idk why this post reminded me of guyver but it did, then i got sad because the manga has been going for like 3 decades now but like 80% of it has never been translated into english

sadder still because apparently it's batshit insane with alien spaceships and aztec pyramids and shit

I still remember a young toku's mind being blow by the arc where guyver gets killed/destroyed but clones itself and Sho back from some tiny scrap. So for a little while Sho, this high schooler was all "but im not even the real sho? or am I?"  :'( :'( :'(

So that Blame! movie is out on netflix haven't watched it yet but as someone who loves Tsutomu Nihei but hates CGI anime I still loved Sidonia No Kishi so I'll probably fuck with this too.

Heres a cool thing in Japanese so I can't read it but Nihei shared some art:

I guess he was actually pretty involved with this adaptation and actually did some redesigns for it

Baku curses up a storm in the translation, which is awesome. He drops f-bombs every other panel.

I always thought it was odd that some scanlators would add so much cursing for books that run in magazines that are targeted for 12 year olds. It seems silly and kinda edgy.

Fan-translators have been doing shit like that for decades.  The first time I watched Dragonball Z was from some fan-translated bootleg VHS tape of one of the movies in the mid-90s.  Vegeta cussed non-stop and every other thing uttered was "FUCK YOU!!"  I thought this was how the character was supposed to be for years.

BLAME! is good but I'll admit that despite my hate for cgi anime I ended up really liking Knights of Sidonia's adaptation. That plus the fact that ten years ago I would never have imagined Nihei's work getting adapted outside of the weird one off OAV stuff we got in the early 00s.

Still don't care for the studios other big work though, Aijin. The tone/style of that manga just doesn't translate well to CGI at all. I'll probably keep an eye on Polygon Pictures though (and pray for s3 Sidonia).

Side Note: Probably the the most impressive sound design ive heard in anime in a very long time. Really good.

They're doing some big far future alien godzilla movie for release this year. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla:_Monster_Planet)

Not only did he write, and i know this might not have a huge impact on the final product, but it's been gestating for awhile now. I remember back in 07? or 08 they had a blogspot up with some comic book art (i wanna say it was by the cover artist who worked on Fables) for some Castlevania/anime or show they were working on.

It's been a long time coming.

Watched this and loved the concept/world presented.  Also never knew anything about this series before, so I always thought it was pronounced "blame", but the katakana reads as "blam," so another case of Engrish strikes again. Makes way more sense that way.  :lol

The movie was very easy to follow and I liked it so much that I went and read through the entire manga series afterwards.  It was a pretty quick read since there's very little dialogue.  The movie is very different than the manga and a lot of stuff was changed-up, but I can understand why.  Made it work better.

The manga was hard to follow at times, due to the artwork being kind of all over the place.  I couldn't tell what the hell I was supposed to be looking at sometimes.  Also didn't like how it just sort of abruptly ended, and then there were two single-chapter follow-up stories that were equally-abrupt and still didn't give any real closure.  Also read the prequel, Noise, which was also nice and confusing.  I wish the insane world was expanded upon.  Like one of the rooms that the main character enters is implied to be the space where an entire PLANET was once located.  HOLY SHIT.  But that's about it and the story moves on. 

Now I've started reading Biomega, which may possibly be a prequel...to the prequel?  Either that or Nihei just loves throwing Toa Heavy Industries into everything.

Guess I should check out Knights Of Sidonia too.

I loved that bit about the planet sized hollow. I think it was Jupiter? I wish they went into why the megastructure hasn't collapsed in on itself yet, considering how incredibly massive it now must me.

Knights of Sidonia is muuuch more straightforward, aside from never really getting into the origins of the enemy. (And neither does Biomega, I think?)
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Hey, you heard about this amazing series called Big O?
Post by: toku on May 29, 2017, 02:07:19 PM
Yeah so far I think all of Nihei's works are loosely connected (company names etc) and he likes working big. I figured that might be something from his architectural design background but even with like dates and shit. Things happen in his universe over thousands of years and in the case of Sidonia i think it might be hundreds of thousands/millions.

All that said, it seems like every new work he does gets more straight forward so you should check out Knights of Sidonia. Just ended too at volume 15 iirc? He already has a new on-going but I haven't read it yet APOSIMZ but the synopsis already sounds like classic nihei:
Quote
The 200,000 KM diameter artificial celestial body of APOSIMZ. Most of its volume is its core space, which is covered by a superstructural shell. Fifty centuries ago, the people who lost a war against the core lost their right to reside legitimately in APOSIMZ, and were left behind on the extremely cold surface. They face the spreading Frame disease. And aggressive automatons which appear frequently on the ruins level. Yet even so, somehow people survive.

What a lovely surprise. When I made my earlier post I spent some time on the Sidonia wikia and read about this exact seed ship. The Sidonia had lost contact with them centuries before the events of KoS. 

That wikia excursion also re-inforced just how much more conventional Sidonia is in tone. I won't spoil it here, but it's very conventional and full of shonen power fantasy and wish fulfillment tropes. I wonder if this development towards more marketable stories was Nihei's own decision or came at his publisher's/editor's urging.

Could also be lack of creativity as far as conventional story telling goes. :doge

One of the best first episodes of an anime ever. Everything you need to get about the show, everything it's trying to say or will go on to say is all there in the first ep. It's basically the thesis statement for the entire show.

If you want a dark anime Rurouni Kenshin is good. It's light but has some nice dark sides. Although I suppose it's not really dark by anime standards... :doge

And I almost forgot to recommend one of the best anime.

Also, who refers to Cowboy Bebop as "dark anime," if that's the comparison you're trying to make?  It's also not in the same genre as Rurouni Kenshin, so...

So I've mostly just watched some original anime movies, but I wanna try some shows. I know many of the "big titles" that everyone should watch but I don't know where to begin. No high school trash, gimme that dark shit instead. Or just anything good. Nothing long either, I can't handle a billion episodes since it's too hard to pay attention. 15 eps or below should be good. Need recommendations - pls halp. ;-;

Longer shows that are still good:

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex [Bit of a time investment but a incredibly good scifi series]
Planetes [hard scifi about a group of people who collect garbage caught in Earth's orbit]
Excel Saga [weird, stupid parody of basically everything you can think of]
Outlaw Star [it's kinda like Cowboy Bebop but different and not quite as good, but still pretty good]
Mushishi [a fantasy world where a guy helps people deal with the weird creatures who live in it, one of my all-time favorites]
Darker than Black [the story of Chinese Electric Batman]
Psycho-Pass [future-Japan is controlled by a computer that determines if people have criminal tendencies or not and then has them arrested or killed]
Space Dandy [a bunch of animators are given complete control to do whatever they want in each episode]
Black Lagoon [Japanese mercenaries shooting stuff up in Thailand]

Shorter shows that are good:

Paranoia Agent [total mind screw, a messed up show with messed up people]
Macross Plus [Top Gun: The Anime]
Kino's Journey [A philosophical journey with a girl and her talking motorcycle, way better than that sounds]
Golden Boy [best fan service show ever made]
Serial Experiments Lain [dark meditation on the invasion of technology into people's lives]
Gun Smith Cats [America: The Anime]
Hellsing Ultimate [Ultra-violence, Nazi vampires, super-slick animation]
Blood Blockade Battlefront [People in NYC have to live alongside creatures from another dimension]
Detroit Metal City [The over-the-top front-man of death metal band is actually a sensitive guy who just wants to write folk music, top-tier comedy]
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt [if Adult Swim teamed up with anime]
Level E [an alien prince comes to Earth just to troll people]
Armitage III [Robots on Mars want rights too]
Dominion Tank Police [Future-crime is so bad that the police now use tanks, with predictable results]
Cyber City Oedo 808 [three criminals are released from prison and tasked with stopping future-crime to lessen their sentence]
Bubblegum Crisis [80s anime plus 80s music]

Threw in some old stuff and some new stuff. Go nuts.

25 or less would be fine, it doesn't matter as long as it's fast paced and I enjoy it~

Rumbler list is fine, I'd throw in Samurai Champloo. I'd second Toku on FLCL. I would personally add a couple of other Gainax series but I can probably wait (it's starting to be borderline crazy/trash).

I also liked Dennou Coil and the whole augmented reality stuff, but it's an high school setting (though a rather sensitive, not cringy, one).

Is the old stuff (as in pre-90) out of bounds ?

I'd add The Irresponsible Captain Tylor (26 episode TV series + 10 OVAs) to the list.  It's a fun, more light-hearted show about a lazy idiot who becomes captain of a space ship during a war with an alien race. Dunno how easy it is to find though.

Scrap Gunsmith Cats from that list.  It's "meh."  (But the manga version is great)  Watch the true classic, Riding Bean, which it came from, instead. :pimp

If you like Cowboy Bebop a lot, definitely watch Samurai Champloo after that.  It's from the same people.

Meh. The core mystery is okay but the plotting is kind of obnoxious and the self serious tone it has with characters constantly monologuing is grating.

I'll watch another season to see if it keeps moving but if this extends into a crazy number of episodes, I'm out.

I felt sorta the same way. The animation quality is nice, but goddamn is Eren ever an annoying twat. I know the series goes on to take him down a peg at every opportunity which is nice, but honestly he really just should have died when got eaten. Fuck bullshit shonen powers in a decidedly non-shonen series.

I really love Trigun, but I can see some people not liking it. Vash can be a really love/hate kind of character and a lot of episodes in the middle of the series suffer some major animation issues. Still, when the main arc kicks into high gear in the second half of the series, it's pretty great. Oh, and absolutely stellar soundtrack, one of my all-time favorites.

And the movie's alright. A bit inconsequential, but well made.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of when I thought of older anime (among others). In fact if you like FLCL and Gunbuster, you should probably try Diebuster too.
Speaking of Gainax I notice there's a classic no one mentioned yet...

Anyway, I started watching Gurren-Lagann since it's on Netflix. I like it so far but I'll wait to reach the end to see if it's Diebuster-good (it seems to follow the same path of absurd escalation) or Abenobashi Magical Shopping Street-average (the latter had its fair share of moments but I didn't like the end very much).

Watched the first episode of Paranoia Agent last night. It's only one episode so I can't say much about it yet, although I found it really interesting and will watch more today. Kinda shocking how hard it was to find now that Nyaa was nuked! Couldn't even find it on Rizon, or any torrent website (TS had it but no seeders). Anyway I thought I lucked out until I checked Youtube.

Watching the show gave me a strong urge to re-watch Monster, for some reason. I never finished that but now I wanna give it another go.

I finished Gurenn Lagann : So I read it was supposed to be a command for what was thought as a timeslot for youth audiences ? I dunno, but it certainly feels like it. While there was all the expected Gainax craziness, effortless use of different graphical styles brought into a cohesive whole (they really thought that whole drill thing heh ?) , a decent cast & affectionate throwbacks to the genre conventions pushed to the most absurd limit (Dawg I heard you liked mechas so we put mechas in your mechas), catchy songs (ROH ROH FIGHT THE POWER  :noah )... Can't help but feel that Diebuster was the superior version of the whole thing. Diebuster explored pretty dark places with regards to child-soldiers / child-stardom & rape and it had a rich relationship between its two protagonist that made the thing work and touching. In contrast to that, Gurenn Lagann visual spectacle starts to feel empty -and busy for the sake of it- by the end with a dense cast of characters being paper thin and competing for screentime. Their relations feel tame & superficial (Creepily sexy young female protagonist of ambiguous age romances are kinda... there.) for the most part and while I am not the biggest stickler for plot tightness, it's very weak in several points.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The time skip especially really don't make a lot of sense. Even turning a blind eye to "humanity going from cave dwelling to scifi utopia in 7 years" for the sake of the spirit of the message; you have half the characters having had a radical change of temper, half being exactly the same and almost everyone acting as if they barely knew each other better than the episode before the ellipsis. I understand that it is an inescapable problem with this trick and that a fiction has to take a lot of shortcuts but it's jarring here. New Movie Evangelion 3.3 was more elegant in its approach, by having the stunted development built in the story itself.

Anyway, it's really hard to top Gunbuster/Diebuster here.

Still a good series, but not in my favorites from the studio.

 ???
Have you seen Diebuster ? It's not "dark and edgy". In fact I use it as a comparison point because it's exactly as Gurenn Lagann is (or well, modern Gainax) : colourful, fun, exciting, full of spectacle (not to mention the plot outline is pretty much 1:1). I used those examples to point that the character were well rounded and had some depth to them (it often means taking a look at the unsavory stuff). I honestly didn't find the characters in GL very compelling (Nia in particular is vapidness made cartoon) and beyond that not much levity either, the pondering on the limits of will and determination is like a footnote in the entire thing.

The bathhouse episode was great tho.

Hunter x Hunter only ended in 2014 so I'm going to count that too. :P It's probably in my top five, if not top three of all time...

Kinda slim pickings. A lot of the shows I liked on the block were produced from 2006-2011 (Black Lagoon, Michiko & Hatchin, FMA Brotherhood, Soul Eater.)

Polar Bear's Cafe is within the last five and I loved that. It's kind of slice of whatever so may not be for everybody.

Polar Bear Cafe is about a million episodes, but yeah it's a really great relaxing-on-the-couch-after-a-hard-day anime. And since it's not set at a high school or aimed at otaku, it's actually something that the whole family could watch [although it is subs-only].

Yeah I never finished it cause it doesn't fucking end. :lol Great show all the same. Apparently it was super popular in Nippon to the point where every piece of merch produced for it sold out. Kind of predicted the success of Japari Park this season one could argue, guess Japan loves their animals.

The first episode was nice,  it has a nice, quiet vibe/atmosphere to it.

I don't know if you or Joe have seen it but Eromanga-sensei is pretty decent. Maybe because I haven't seen a show like this in a while(it's a harem show) or because it's by the Oreimo dude(which was nice). However it does have some questionable content.

Marathoned the remained of One Punch Man last night. What an absolutely fantastic series. I'm glad they stuck to the more light-hearted humor and didn't try to make it be too serious like some shows do, even when things started to ramp up to ridiculous levels. Season 2 needs to be out RIGHT NOW.

Saitama being punched all the way to the moon, casually tossing a moon rock into the air, and then jumping back to the Earth to continue the fight may have been my favorite scene in the entire first season. It really drives home just how ridiculously OP he is.

I've only seen the original OVA, but it was pretty good. Nothing particularly amazing [outside of some really good animation], just a fun little show. I'd imagine that the series will be pretty similar, though with probably more plot since they have a longer runtime.

I'm posting a list of the good anime that's been released from 2008 up until 2016, because I feel like it and you can't stop me [and also as a companion to that earlier post I made]:

2008 - Spice and Wolf, Soul Eater, Macross Frontier, Golgo 13, Birdy the Might: Decode, Cashern Sins, Astro Fighter Sunred, Slayers Revolution
2009 - Rideback, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Eden of the East, Kuuchuu Buranko

2012 - Daily Lives of High School Boys, Jormungand, Kids on the Slope, Space Brothers, Polar Bear Cafe, Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, Binbougami ga!, Humanity Has Declined, Psycho-Pass, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Only bad thing about Spice and Wolf is that the anime [despite getting two seasons] only covered a small portion of the novels, and didn't get anywhere near the series actual end.

Well we spoke of Gainax. Seems they're in trouble.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1396314

Quote
Last year, Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara sued Gainax of Evangelion fame for unpaid royalities. A Tokyo District court has ruled in Anno’s favor, with a judge ordering Gainax to pay the full 100 million yen (around US$900,000).

Quote
As previously reported, Gainax is contractually bound to pay royalties to Khara for projects Anno worked on, but Gainax owned a large amount in back payments. Moreover, Khara made a special loan to Gainax for 100 million yen ($898,796) in August 2014 and is now suing to get the unpaid amount back.

I guess it's all fair really. And I mean quite a bit of the talent transitioned to Khara. The pity is that Khara isn't doing much with all this... not even  New Movie Evangelion 4  :doge .

They're also moving forward with a sequel/spiritual successor to Wings of Honneamise, with a reported budget of $40 million. For perspective, Ghibli movies are generally among the most expensive anime movies [and most financially successful] and only a few of them have been that expensive.

And Trigger is the true successor to Gainax, not Khara.

How can people hate E7? That shit is fuckin awesome. A globetrotting ship crew with a penchant for rebellion and they have surfing robots. What more could you want? Then they go fuck it up with a sequel.

Last Exile is also great. A globetrotting ship crew with a penchant for rebellion and they have steampunk planes. What more could you want? Then they go fuck it up with a sequel.

Finished up The Saga of Tanya the Evil from last season. It's quite a thing, unfortunately the ending kinda whiffs [mostly because it's still an on-going story], although at least it fits in with the overall theme of the series which is that God is not to be trifled with. Still, it's one of the best and most interesting series from the previous season, with some pretty solid animation from a studio working on its very first project. Would definitely watch a season 2 if that happened.

I don't dislike DBZ at all, it drags on some of the arcs they talk too much leading up to fights,  Goku running on snake way etc. I find Super better in this regard I'm not sure how long per arc they are compared to DBZ arcs but it felt like they were shorter and less of a chore to watch.

DBZ fights themselves are better coreographed, what happened in Super?  :doge

This is the key question.

It's great from the get-go, but I would say it only ascends to god-tier territory with the Yorknew City arc which starts at episode 37. Heavens Arena right before it has some really dope moments though, and is absolutely required viewing to understand the rest of the series.

Yorknew is also the best arc in the show, but I feel the following three arcs are about the same in quality and better than what came before Yorknew.

Chimera Ant arc is pretty divisive but if you love it, you fucking love it.

TV ends weird/goes weird places but it's still good. OVA is great though and even weirder.

The TV series aired before the main plot of the manga had even started, that was the big problem with it. And the TV-sized budget doesn't look so hot in retrospect. I mean, it's not terrible, no, but I don't see any real reason to revisit it now that the OVA series is complete.

Finally watched the last 7 eps of Iron-Blood Orphans. That sure was a rough ride. I like it a lot though, the way the plot didn't stick to standard tropes in the first 13 eps and last 13 eps was nice. Middle was kinda tropey with a few parts, but I can't remember the last Gundam series that didn't fall apart. Probably SEED, so 2002ish, so yeah best Gundam show in 15 years.

The more I think about it, the more IBO feels like what would happen if GRRM wrote a Gundam story.

To be fair, Tomino was wiping the floor with his casts of characters as far back as the 70's.

Vague Spoilers Ahead

Eh, I'm a huge Tomino fan and this series was not very Tomino at all. Tomino is just crazy unpredictable random character deaths out of nowhere. Most of the time there's little impact because it's so random AKA Matilda-san and just WTF.

The story of IBO and especially

the story of McGillis

is far more simliar to a GRRM tale. GRRM often writes about idealistic heroes and you follow them on their adventure only to see that realistically idealism and heroics often don't mean shit before real world practicalism and underhandedness.  In a GRRM tale a practical villain often beats a heroic hero, which is shocking to the viewers as it's so against the standard trope of the protagonist and embellishing heroic traits.

This season is shaping up to be pretty good so far:

-Kakegurui [super-weird high school gambling show with crazy faces]
-Made in Abyss [character designs from a kid's show, but it's a fantastic production with a really good premise]
-Princess Principal [steampunk alternate-history London highschool girl spies, very good looking production]
-Restaurant to Another World [an ordinary restaurant for some reason is connected to a bunch of doors scattered around a fantasy world, laid back and solidly made show that doesn't try to do too much]
-Centaur's Life [centaur girl anime, a slice of life high school show with animal girls that goes off on tangents about racial discrimination, domestic terrorists, and time travel to the Warring States period]

There's a few other interesting looking shows that haven't aired yet.

We cut this one off after a few minutes.  My wife couldn't stand it.   :lol  Will try again if it really gets that wacky.

There seems to be a number of "weird n' wacky slice of life" shows this season.  Another one to watch is Youkai Apato no Yuuga na Nichijou, about a high school student (of course!) who moves into an apartment building inhabited by ghosts and other weird spirits.

I liked Castlevania which isn't really anime but I guess it goes here under white anime. Dialogue was pretty snappy, some good fight scenes and surprisingly faithful to the games. Direction is sadly mediocre and gives that straight to video feel along with worse voice direction than dubbed anime which makes no sense since it was made in English, but the pros outweigh the cons and I'm on board.

Was 3.5 minutes?  It looked like two minutes when I watched it.  I couldn't believe that A) it was that fucking short and that B) it was just shit.  Thanks for fucking up a classic.  :'(

Been watching another new show this season, Vatican X-Files. Well, the actual name is Vatican Miracle Examiner, but I'm just calling it like I see it. Anyway, these two priests get sent from the Vatican to investigate supernatural stuff to see if it's a miracle or not. It's so melodramatic and over-the-top and legit bad, but I love it. I mean, it's got immaculate conception, crying Virgin Mary statute, stigmata, devil worship, and some old priest dude getting his skull caved in. And that's just the first episode! Reminds me of another, somewhat similar anime that I really liked called Ghost Hunt [it had a pretty similar setup, except the mains were ghost hunters] and, of course, X-Files.

Also, oddly, the VO who plays one of the Vatican priests also played a Catholic priest in Ghost Hunt.

Been watching the following animoo from this season (and earlier):

-Restaurant to Another World: "Fantasy slice of life" might be the best way to describe this.  Charmingly wacky.

-Youkai Apato no Yuuga na Nichijou: Another of the growing trend of "weird slice of life" shows.  The last episode centered on a ghost kid and his dog.  When they showed the backstory of how they died...man.  The feels.  :'(  Felt almost out of place given the humorous slant of everything else.

-Hajimete No Gal: Not sure about this one.  It's chock full of bad borderline-hentai scenes (mostly fantasies playing out in the main character's head) and bad dialogue.  I read a bit of the manga before this came out and it was actually kind of charming in a way, being more about the virgin high school loser-type who gets a 'gyaru' for his girlfriend and keeps expecting too much from her and the way the situations play out is kind of funny.  The gyaru character is also clearly inexperienced herself and is just listening to shit her friend tells her to do, much like the protagonist does to his buddies. The anime version changes this up and instead just makes the main character look like a total horny little moron who takes everything his virgin friend tells him to do too seriously and looks like a loser every time instead of just being inexperienced. 

-Gamers!: This is a show about a high school loser, with no friends and bad social skills, who likes video games.  Probably the most realistic depiction of a character type ever, lol.  He is approached by the hottest girl in school, who naturally is into games and oddly all over him, and he goes to the club and then...decides not to join.  Uh...?  The next episode then focuses on another character who used to be a big gamer nerd, but changed his image to be "normal" in high school and detests the main character, but winds up befriending him and playing games with him.  The girl from the first episode is demoted to dumb stalker status and keeps spying on the main character.  It's so fucking dumb and goofy, but I want to keep watching it anyway.   :P  This show also must have Arc System Works and Atlus as sponsors, because besides the fake games shown like a CS: Go clone, there's also footage of Guilty Gear Xrd and Persona 4 Arena in the game.

-New Game!: Another slice of life anime (from a season or two ago) about a girl, fresh out of high school, who starts working at a game company as an artist.  So let me get this straight- she skipped college and went right into game development, and the company hired her even though she has no experience and didn't even know how 3D modeling software worked.  Um?  Besides that, the entire company is (of course) staffed by 20-40-something women and everything is super pleasant and cheerful.  And yet...my wife and I sat there enjoying the four episodes we watched last night.  :lol  It's so "dur hurr" but in a good way.

-Dragonball Super: This multi-universe tournament arc is some straight-crazy-awesome shit.  Last ep had the female saiyans from universe 6 power up and start fighting.  Pretty cool thing to see, especially the timid girl who transforms into what is essentially Broly and fucks everyone up.  Then the clear "most powerful" dude, Jiren, pops in and just swats her away and everyone else gets the fuck out while Goku gets ready to fight him.

I swear animu can be so fucking unsatisfying at times...

fucking 62 episodes and still zero romantic development between kenshin and kaoru :goty

only at the very end of this manga do they get married and have a kid, but that also is weirdly unsatisfying

there's no romantic affection show, basically

i mean what the fuck is up with that!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH JAPAN

hajime no ippo does the same shit

what's that girl's name, kumi? her and ippo still haven't kissed afaik

HOLY SHIT HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON

this is why it was so satisfying to watch his and her circumstances, the romantic stuff developed normally, kissing ensued, etc

i guess i should watch that again

but yeah romantic shit in anime/manga is fucked up

these are shows for preteen boys of course they're going to have terrible romance you dummy

Since most of the new anime is shit this season (you mean like every season? lul!) I'm just watching all the Studio Ghibli movies on Blu-Ray. My Neighbors the Yamadas is the only Ghibli movie not on Blu-Ray, and GKids has acquired the rights to release it along with most of the rest of the Ghibli catalog from Disney, so it seems like a good time. I've seen most of them before, but there are a few I haven't. I watched Pom Poko for the first time the other day. Ball sacks are funny, I don't care who you are, and Pom Poko is like Fern Gully if the fairies just started bashing the construction workers with their scrotums.

Even though I'd never watched it before, it made me nostalgic for growing up in the 80's and 90's, when kids were bombarded with liberal, environmentalist agitprop. :lawd

Ended up getting the Japan BD of Your Name to lend around to non-anime watching friends. Rewatched it last night and liked it even more than the first time in the theater. Definitely in my top anime films with Satoshi Kon's Millenium Actress, Jin-Roh, Spirited Away and End of Eva.

And Sword of the Stranger. I always forget that one (which is pretty funny because I translated & subbed it back at release).  One of those pretty much perfect genre films that will always hold up.

I saw that Crunchyroll added Scrapped Princess. I've never watched it but was spoiled on the twist at some point. I think I'll dive into it next.

I'm happy they're adding older shows (I guess it's because of the funimation deal?)

I saw a scene or two of Princess Mononoke when I was a young lad. Tonight I watched the whole thing from start to finish.

It doesn't quite take Spirited Away from me as "best anime movie" but fuck it comes close. Masterful and deliberate from start to finish, despite being pretty damn long (for an animated film.)

5 / 5

Princess Mononoke was the first anime I pirated :heart

I was a freshman in college with high speed internet for the first time and someone uploaded it to the dorm's public network (or something along those lines). I was blown away and it's still one of my favorites. I have it on dvd in a box somewhere these days, need to dig it out.

15 years ago I watched Cowboy Bebop and thought it was one of the best things I'd ever seen in any medium. When I asked people what other anime I should watch at the time, a lot of people suggested Outlaw Star. I watched about 7 episodes and thought: "This ain't no Cowboy Bebop" and stopped.

So this week for whatever reason I decided to watch the whole thing. It's fine. I mean it's of its era which is both good and bad. Time has allowed me to not be as harsh on it as I once was. It's fun enough and enjoyable enough and the characters do eventually grow on you.

If the best thing to come from Outlaw Star is that ED theme and given Toonami the material to cut this promo together, it would still be worth it:

That's kinda how I felt when I watched back in the Toonami days [I think I watched the whole thing, or at least almost all of it]. It was alright, but a big step down from Cowboy Bebop. I rewatched it a few years ago, though, and I ended up enjoying it a lot more. In part I think it's a lot easier to appreciate it considering shows of it's kind have gotten pretty rare over the years.

Goku Black arc >>>>>> Universe 6 arc so far.

Universe 6 arc felt stakeless and more like "your favorite characters are back and hanging out again" type of revival stuff, which is cool. But Goku Black arc actually addresses how shit changed, has some character development, shit happens, etc.

Not quite up to the highs of DB or DBZ yet, but it's good on it's own. Definitely better than GT and I'm glad it exists just to wash away whatever that trash was.

I know Toriyama wasn't involved with GT and it isn't really canon, but fuck that show anyway.

Universe 6 is really just the introduction to something much, much bigger.

I've been watching You're Under Arrest. Just watched the episode were Aoi turns down a marriage proposal, and wow that was a genuinely touching episode.  :'( I can't believe this is an anime made in the 90's, most anime's idea of a transwoman is having a burly guy in a dress for a gag. Aoi does end up as the butt of jokes occasionally (it is an anime from the 90's) but overall her character is handled pretty well imo.

My top Ghibli are:
Spirited Away
Lupin Cagliostro
Whispers of the Heart
Laputa
I can Hear the Ocean
Mononoke
Nausicaa

Probably in that order, but that's all A-quality Ghibli along with lots of other good ones.

Inuyashiki is about an old man who gets turned into an old man robot by aliens [or something], if that's not something you can get excited about then GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS THREAD.

Was there a point to Inuyashi? I would watch an episode from time to time when it was on Adult Swim, and I swear nothing ever happened in any of the episodes I watched.

InuYasha is the only heavily-serialized anime I've ever actually liked, and it's hard for me to describe why.

As for the story, they brought it back for 26 episodes in 2009 to finish off the rest of the manga content... but ironically it actually moved way, way too fast. :lol

Psycho-Pass was $5 on iTunes, so I bought it rather than rent the anime from the local Blockbuster analog. Yes, Japan still has rental places. Sadly, the iTunes version is English only, and a little hammy, but the big problem for me so far is the anglicized pronunciation of character names.

I agree with Momo, Asta's voice actor is not great which is unfortunate because in the manga, Asta screams a lot, like all the time. Hopefully he gets better really fast.

Friday and Saturday had a lot of new shows starting, I think this season is a lot stronger than last which was already nice with shows like Made in Abyss and Welcome to the Ballroom.

There's even a "manime" with Garo -Vanishing Line-.

You know what I didn't like about it?  How they show the protagonist training really hard and being clearly physically superior to pretty much everyone else, especially since they all rely on magic.  I was hoping what we'd see is the protagonist

not being able to use magic, but would instead have some kind of immunity to it and could then use martial arts to win battles,

but nope-- they went the predictable route instead.

So can I just skip to the movie then or will I miss out on too much?

Can't believe it's been five years since I first saw season 1. Back then it was just something to tide me over until GitS:Arise started airing. While Arise was far from bad, I ultimately had more fun watching Psycho-Pass.
Mostly because the latter was actually telling a fresh new cyberpunk story while the former just continued rehashing the original manga chapters.

I was browsing Netflix and they put on some new animu. Do you guys know anything about ID-0 and Neo Yokio? They any good?

They also put on Blood Blockade Battlefront. I saw this two years ago and liked it but never finished it. Too confusing and the story never seemed to go anywhere but I liked the overall mayhem and it had style. Maybe I'll just watch that again...

Neo Yokio is a FOX ADHD show that Netflix salvaged from a trash heap somewhere outside of LA.

I'm finally watching Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. At Episode 21 now and after a fairly slow start (excluding episode 4  :doge) I'm really interested in how it's going to pan out. I really like that the main char has barely even won a single fight and is surrounded by better, stronger alchemists. Good show.

Funny that you say it starts off slow. The original series has a lot of episodes dedicated to building the world and the characters before getting into the main plot. Then, at some point, it diverges from the manga and does its own thing. Brotherhood cut out a lot of that stuff.

Ancient Magus Bride is really good. Pulls a lot from British folklore and it looks beautiful. Easily my favorite of everything I'm watching.

Girls Last Tour is an odd one. Has a very slice-of-life feel to it, but it's about two girls traveling through a snow-covered, post-apocalyptic dystopia in a Kettenkrad. The character designs are really at odds with the design of the world, though, almost to the point of absurdity. It's worth giving a shot to see if you like it.

I got to thinking about the anime stuff I was watching as a wee lad in the early to mid-90s recently.

There was one show I found super weird and strange even back as a kid when the ehm "special" Japanese sensibilities of these shows didn't really register with me (they were all cartoons for me anyway). But I can't put a name to the show. I remember it was about a guy who was stranded in the future after getting car-chased by the police and falling off a cliff (?). There he had to band together with some cops to fight an old uber-criminal who turned out to be the protagonist's evil future self. And in the last episode they both fought each other with psychic powers in a time spiral or something :lol

Anyone perhaps know the name?

Almost everything. The awful lip synching that makes it seem like an early 90s dub. Some characters sound great. Some sound... like early 90s dub actors. Combined with some stupid plot and silly jokes (the midnight blue tux, the Helenists, Charles) it's just something I haven't really seen before. Very refreshing.

How's Inuyashiki so far?

Saw a gif of that show that made it look like it's trying way too hard. Might be a fun watch if it totally shits the bed like that Mayoiga show last year.

Top runner from AOTY. It also has the best OP of the season but I'm having trouble finding it on youtube, so i can't link it.

It is kinda "edgy" though.

Of course Inuyashiki is edgy, it's from the man who brought us Gantz lol. The best part was he finished the manga at 10 volumes instead of dragging it on for another 30+. I'm curious how many seasons the anime will be broken into.

Anybody watching Houseki No Kuni? I love the manga. Hope the anime doesn't flop. I feel like Prison School was let down by it's anime, but these ultra stylish manga tend to translate really badly into animation anyway.

Why do people call Hunter x Hunter a deconstruction of the genre?

I'm at the Chimera Ant stuff now and it's just a shounen show so far. People calling it the best shounen are also crazy, since Hajime no Ippo is obviously the best one.

I wouldnt call Hunter x Hunter a deconstruction, it's pretty much the ideal shounen though, it's power creep issues arent that bad, the chars are interesting, the world is amazing, the stories are fun, the villains are complex and relatable. 

I know it's published in shonen mag and it's genre is definitely shounen, but when you have two dudes jerking off another guy in the shower and all the other adult shit it pulls off it almost feels like it's cheating saying it's for younger teens. I would put HnI in my top 3 - 5 shounens the slow as molasses stuff pre - during and after Woli (fuck Woli) and this recent storyline is pissing me off so much that I knocked it down a few places though.

Hunter x Hunter isn't a "deconstruction" of shonen, but it's special because of the specific ways it plays with and sometimes breaks classic shonen tropes.

I find MHA much more enjoyable than Hunter x Hunter, but that's probably because I'm not 100 episodes behind on MHA.

Power creep is something I'm fine with. MHA has the problem of quirks somehow becoming better through training, even if it makes no sense for them to become better through training. HxH seems to just start everyone off as super powerful from the small amount of it I watched.

Also Gon is super ugly and that child head on an overly muscular adult body transformation is really offputting.

In Japan you'd be right. For Western audiences, "shounen" is typically understood to mean AoT/DBZ/Naruto/One Piece/Fairy Tail and others in that genre.

How good is Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans really?

It looks great and gets a lot of hype but what I've seen of Gundam so far(not much, just Seed and Unicorn) was way to overdramatic and ham-fisted for my taste. Is this any different? I just want a decent space opera animu to watch but the show apparently has a loli and that doesn't really encourage me either  :-\

I really liked the first season despite its pacing problems. The mecha fights are brutal and these kids will take advantage of their opponent grandstanding. Didn't finish the second season. I don't even remember most of it.

Second Season of IBO is even more brutal, but maybe a bit forceful about it. Also there were more than a few unresolved plot points.

So many character deaths. Ending was sad. I was sad. IBO was good. Sometimes it's okay to be sad.

Only .hack//SIGN is worth your time, the rest are trash.

Well, if you're *really* into G.U. then Roots has some (incredibly boring) backstory for that stretched over like 26 eps.

Edit- Though most consider SIGN boring too I suppose. :lol But that was sort of the point, a lot of it feels like philosophical debates. On the other hand Roots feels like it thinks it's action based. Unfortunately it barely has any action.

It's mostly in response to its immense popularity. SAO is a pretty mediocre harem power fantasy with lots of fanservice and lots of bland characters, but a lot of people loved it. I prefer Log Horizon, though, and not because it hewed closer to MMORPG mechanics.

SAO irks me on a few levels.

- Nothing about the world or its rules makes sense if you think about it for more than two seconds.
- Main character is a dumb Gary Stu author-insert character with nothing interesting about him. He gets a busty tsundere to fall in his lap and then has to rescue for contrived reasons.
- It's stupidly popular (far above .hack) for the above reason.
- The main villain is just... lmao.
- Annoying Navi-like loli character is introduced halfway calling the MC "daddy" approximately 100 times an episode.
- Overwrought, overly-dramatic, and pointless cousin incest subplot.
- There's a couple standalone episodes that don't make any sense or are soooooo overdramatic as to be laughable (the Christmas one.)
- In fact there's just a lot of bad writing overall. There's one ep where the MC takes a bunch of underleveled chars into a super high level zone then acts SUPER surprised when they're all killed around him. :lol
- As a .hack fan, I was excited to see a new-age high-budget MMO anime, making all of the above even worse.

Never watched s2, it may be an improvement, but IMO the whole franchise is a dumpster fire. I've never met someone who was a big fan of it who wasn't also an annoying creep.

The name of the author is Project Itoh and I actually read one of his novels, Harmony, two years ago. It was actually really good and surprisingly discerning in picturing a future dystopia masked as a medical utopian paradise. I knew there was a movie in the making but I forgot about it.

But yeah, it is worth watching. The first half of the show is almost pure comedy. Pervy comedy tho, so depends if that's your thing or not. Although it's a far cry from the usual perverted animu crap. The second half gets more serious and confronts the viewer with the harsh reality of living and surviving in a post apocalyptic desert and the morality of being a bounty hunter.

I say try it out, though the first two episodes are a bit weak. But afterwards it's great stuff. And do yourself the favor and watch the English Dub! It's so fucking hilarious and in a good way. I don't think there's a better dub out there, except maybe Cowboy Bebop.

Ok, so The Tatami Galaxy adapted by Yuasa Masaaki based on a Tomihiko Morimi novel is one of my top 10 TV anime. So when Yuasa adapted another book by Morimi, this time The Night is Short, Walk On Girl taking place in the same world, done in the same style, with even the same guest characters, I was pretty hyped and watched it.

The Night is Short, Walk on Girl is a fun energetic Alice in Wonderland film about a college girl's drinking night escapades into the adult world of the night. The main character is an awesome positive female protagonist and a lot of the film is about how through the energy of youth idealism, the cynical older folk are inspired, able to become less jaded and recall a more positive mentality. There's also goofy singing stage plays and they are wonderful.

Unfortunately, the story is also about a stalker obsessive otaku guy who wants to manipulate the main gal into falling for him. For like half the movie nothing but bad things happen to him and he's played as the joke character as he should be and a foil of the main character's positive traits and successes. But then the movie

spoiler (click to show/hide)
takes a dramatic shift and validates his stalking, and he gets the girl, which makes the last 15% of the film kind of ugh, uncomfortable and not a very satisfying conclusion.
[close]

On top of that there is a really awkward/unfortunate handling of a gay character. Where:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
During a stage play, one guy says he'd go gay for another guy to which that guy, who cross dresses, comes out as gay and they go for the kiss and then it cuts to the original guy's thoughts going "hurry up and get this over with" indicating that he's faking it for the stage, and then the actual gay character is literally dumped off the stage and a girl falls in the lap of the original guy. Again, it's pretty awkward.
[close]

And even further, in the current social climate, there's some unfortunate stuff that isn't really the film's fault because culturally Japan's pretty behind on not being a creep, but

spoiler (click to show/hide)
There's a scene early on where an old guy not only creeps on the main gal, but even grabs her breasts coping a feel, to which she punches him in the face (good) but then they all laugh it off and she treats him well the rest of the story like it was no big deal, which isn't great since the whole laughing that stuff off in social media just sorta reinforces a culture/environment where that kind of stuff is ok and you just laugh it off.
[close]

But, outside of those subplots/scenes, the rest is really good! So overall I liked it, but it's not great, and its definitely got its flaws. But it's still worth a watch for a wonderful and wacky surrealistic story of age, wisdom, love and alcohol.

The Tatami Galaxy adaption is one of my favorite anime show too, so another adaption from the same author in the same art style seems like a wet dream to me :P

Though what you describe seems very unfortunate, especially considering that Tatami Galaxy was quite honest about the sad and depressing lifestyle of a shut-in that so many other anime shows are glorifying in one way or the other.

Still gonna watch it though, so thanks for the heads-up.

Lol yeah. I was watching a Japanese show called Million Yen Women on Netflix two months ago. Shit might as well have been some animated harem show, what with the spineless bland nobody for a protagonist, a bunch of hot girls who were falling for him for no discernible reason and the ludicrous plot premise. The animu proportions were missing of course, and there was no loli, though there was an underage school girl wanting to have sex with the protagonist.

Stopped watching it halfway through and even though it was my first try, I think I have my fill of Japanese tv shows for now.

Japanese TV is pretty terrible. The only show I ever really enjoyed when I've been there is this one panel show where they send little kids off to run errands on their own. The kids ultimately make some sort of mistake and end up getting lost and the panel back in the studio laughs at them while the camera man doesn't help them at all.

It's also depressing and nihilistic as fuck, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Great series and a surprisingly strong English dub too.

Oh yeah, Food Wars is the only current show that I watch every week. Is there anywhere that I can watch the spring elections or whatever the fuck the episodes are called that crunchyroll doesn't have?

I guess I'll binge DB Super before ArcSys game comes out.

I had to torrent the OVAs from Nyaa- there's four of them total and IIRC the last one might as well be episode 1 of season 3.  Didn't watch season 3 until I saw those...really don't understand why Crunchyroll couldn't have added them.  The OVAs I watched had kind of shitty subs so be warned on that.  Decent enough to get the gist of it.

LOGH is still amazing. I haven't seen it in like 10 years so I'm really happy with it. Actually, I'm more than happy. Now that I have more life experience I'm actually enjoying it even more, which rarely happens with anime.

Such a classic.

Quoting myself but this ed is just so beautiful. The lyrics, the singing, the power of the singers words (might help to know Japanese but I don't think so), the orchestration, the visual of Yang and Julian walk by their fellow soldiers. It always struck me as an amazing ED, but I could never articulate how beautiful I find it to be, even as an adult. It perfectly fits the show.

As I watch more (up to ep 17 on my rewatch), I'm falling more and more and more in love with the show...again. It really is like falling in love all over again. It has so much to say: democracy vs dictatorship. Is democracy truly good? Is dictatorship truly evil? What is the nature of man? And it asks these questions through the shows imagery, but also sometimes quite literally. All while never truly providing an answer, and allowing the viewer to come to their own conclusions. I have to admit that rewatching it, I believe I underestimated how much it influenced the younger me. Of the "mature genre fiction", LOGH was probably my first introduction. Before I ever watched Blade Runner, or even Full Metal Jacket I think. Before I ever ventured into the deep pool that is Star Trek. And it turns out now that I'm rewatching, it's always what I'm using as a base to compare similar entertainment to although it hasn't been a conscious act. I wasn't used to media where there was no pretext of good guys vs bad guys. I mean, I flirted with it in things like Suikoden III, of course. So  I definitely had those leanings. But not the way LOGH does it, where there truly is no good nor evil, just man. I watched LOGH before ever reading an ASOIAF book, for example. And more than I can admit, went on to influence me a lot, even politically. Even now after all these years, I think LOGH does the "there are no good or bad guys" motif the best. It really is about human nature, power and the responsibilities that come with it, pride, excess, corruption, war, and so many other things. It has so much to say with its density and I'm so happy its even better in my older age.

S-tier anime classic.

There's also Poptepipic, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san, Junji Ito Collection and Violet Evergarden this month. Overlord comes back too but I still gotta see the first season.

And I'm late as shit with all my stuff. Still a couple episodes left from Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou and haven't even started Mahoutsukai no Yome and the latest Owarimonogatari. Houseki no Kuni looks interesting but I'll probably put that off for a while. Mahoujin Guru Guru too, I picked that up when it started but stopped halfway through for whatever reason. Good shit though.

Also the other day I found out that I've been following Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou mangaka on tumblr for years. I really like her animation style.

Ended up marathon Devilman Crybaby and watched all 10 episodes last night.

And damn.  Just...damn.  Was not expecting it to go the way it did.

Not a show to watch if you're feeling down, just saying.   :lol

When episode nine ended, Netflix did not automatically prompt to go to the next episode, so we thought that was it and I couldn't believe that this was how they were ended things.  What a downer!  Then we noticed there was one left and when 10 ended...I couldn't believe that this was how they ended things.  What a downer!  :doge

Checked and the way things end is not something original, either- the manga series ended pretty much the same way.  They definitely changed a lot of things, but still stayed true to the source material in the end.

The only bad thing about Devilman: crybaby is that it's only 10 episodes. Good stuff, I really want to check out the source material and other spin-offs now.

Great soundtrack too.

The original 70s anime series is way more light hearted.  They changed up the ending to make it something more positive compared to Go Nagai's original.  He has made a lot of fucked-up shit and was the "inventor" of fucked-up/ecchi manga comics back in the late 60s with Harenchi Gakuen.  He is also billed as the creator of the "super robot" genre with Mazinger Z!  And then one of the first "magical girl" comics was Cutey Honey.  Amazing effect on the manga industry for sure.

I remember finding the Violence Jack OVAs pretty disturbing in the 90s.

Holy shit.  Spoiler for the end of Devilman and Violence Jack:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
"When it was originally published there were several hints that pointed out the relationship between Devilman and Violence Jack. The final chapter reveals that the apocalyptic world in Violence Jack is in a world re-created by God. Satan (Ryo Asuka) is punished by being constantly humiliated by Slum King (Zenon). Jack is actually Akira Fudo, and is one of three parts that form Devilman, the others being a child Jack and woman Jack, both of which were normally seen as birds around Jack from time to time. They merge in order to stop the recently awakened Satan. This time Devilman manages to stop Satan."
[close]

EDIT: Another site says that Nagai didn't like Violence Jack after completing it and said that it was its own story.  The true sequel to Devilman is Devilman Lady.

More spoilers:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
"Eventually it is revealed that Lan [female version of Ryo] was actually born a male and is actually Jun's [Devilman Lady] half sibling. Later, Psycho Jenny reveals that Jun and Lan were actually defused aspects of Satan, who had gone into hiding after escaping the time loop that God had placed him/her in and the Archangel Michael went to hunt for him/her. It is also revealed that Michael had single-handedly set up the H.A. to tackle with any Demons or Devil Beasts and to keep Devilman under God's control. Akira returns and reluctantly joins forces with Satan and battles against the forces of God, the winner is not revealed instead ending on a climax of the two great armies drawing to battle."

Yamato 2199 was great. It had its moments with wacky jappy uguu fanservice and the occasional maid outfit spliced with a very annoying comedic relief doctor but for most part the characters acted like human beings. Great anime. Lupin III: Fujiko Mine was also excellent.

I looked at Casshern Sins on google image search and the imagery looks like the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid tbh. I'll watch a trailer on youtube.

Might have to see what good anime films have been made the past few years I've been out of the loop to see if anything worth any salt has been made. Haven't seen that Ghibli movie with the sumi-e art. Need to check that.

Finished devilman crybaby, well that sure was a thing.

Was good I guess, definitely entertaining and looked nice. Good music. Didn't mind the plot stuff/gore/T&A because that's Go Nagai and was expected. But 2nd half just felt super super rushed since all the actual story/plot is basically condensed to 5 eps. I like Yuasa as a director and it sorta felt like he did this show fast guns blazing. Reminded me of Kemonozume but without the dark humor and more measured paced.

I'd probably go Tatami Galaxy > Kemonozume > Night is short, Walk on Girl > Devilman Crybaby > Mind Game > Kaiba for the stuff I've seen that Yuasa's directed. Still need to finish Ping Pong and watch Lu over the Wall. Kaiba's gorgeous but I fell asleep every ep because it was so boring. I don't even remember if I finished it.

That's all you had to say. You know I'm as a stan for that work. I think. The fact Mind Game never got licensed is still one of animes biggest sins. Devilman Crybaby next. Then I'll go on a Yuasa binge because :heartbeat

I wish Devilman Crybaby was something I could like more than I do. But I really can not take the fucking high school prodigies and innocent high school love interests anymore. Or some dumb conflict about how one's friend is better at sports. I've recently noticed that I now perceive animes I've watched back in the day much worse, now that I started to notice that they are all brimful with the tritest high school tropes.

Thank god Cowboy Bebop was completely free of that shit.  :rejoice forever the GOAT.

The first five minutes of Casshern Sins is like playing Final Fantasy XIII. You're introduced to this world right in the middle of the action so you get a bunch of nonsensical action. No context is really given, or why you should care. "Kill Casshern!" = Lightning fights a bunch of robots, why should any one care because I have no idea what is going on and what the fuck is Pulse? The same is true here as Cassherns kills a bunch of faceless people. The tone is decidedly serious but at the same time cheesy, like it has anime all over it.

Parasyte looks too fantastical for me in the trailer.
Psycho-Pass is good, not great.
Mushi-shi is great.
ACCA 13 has a good sense of style, seems to have a serious tone but the trailer doesn't really tell me much besides its style, not much on whether it has substance. I'll have to read a summary to see if it's worth watching.
Drifters looks too fantastical. The idea of the Battle of Sekigahara animated excited me and was hoping it'd be a Sengoku period piece anime. That's different for anime. That'd interest me. Of course, some sci-fi anime dog shit happens, losing its grounded feel. I'll give it the two episode test because it's made by Hellsing Ultimate staff.
Blood Blockade Battlefront looks like your average edgy anime. Pass.
Death Parade looks like another fantastical and not grounded anime. But it looks dramatic and mysterious. I'll give it a go.

FYI, "takes itself serious" doesn't really mean, uh, edge. Edge is the fastest way for me to not take an anime seriously. Kino's Journey took itself seriously. Now and Then Here and There, that's a title that takes itself seriously. Even when something is fantasy or out of this world, it should feel grounded. Like it belongs. One thing I notice about modern anime is that almost absolutely none of it takes itself seriously in that Bebop, SAC, Kino's Journey sort of way. It's just a bunch of ridiculousness one series after the other. Nothing is grounded. Just endless fantasy shit and super powers and fucked up situations.

Anime continues to be shit.

Fuck, I need me a Gundam. Gundam is always grounded and takes itself seriously. Forever reliable, ol' Gundam. I'm skipping all of this and just watching Blood Orphans and Origin tbh.

I've been this way regarding anime for years. Space Dandy and Kill La Kill were so bad and disappointing I officially stopped watching anime as a hobby. I think that was in 2013 or so. I haven't really watched anime since. Until now.

I've always had an appreciation for more serious anime. This is hardly new. My favorite anime has always been a serious period piece samurai epic. I'm not sure what you're expecting from me but I have never been one to like overly fantastical or silly anime unless it's a comedy like Guu or Cromartie or whatever.

I only made it like 2-3 eps into Space Dandy. Which is a shame because I fucking love Champloo & Bebop. Kids on the Slope was kinda so-so though.

Those are easily the weakest episodes in the entire 26-episode run. I'll keep bringing this up anytime someone chimes in about how much they think Space Dandy sucks, because it's a show that gets progressively better pretty much with each new episode.

First season is a strong 8/10 [mostly due to the weaker earlier episodes], while the second season is a 9/10 [since it has no bad episodes and the finale is great].

I don't event really love Space Dandy and I think it has the worst first episode relative to the series' actual quality of any anime, possibly TV show in general, of all time.

Space Dandy is basically an anthology show, doesn't each episode have a different director or something? There are definitely some pretty dull episodes but the highs are really, really good. Episode 9 on the plant planet is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever.

Yeah, each episode essentially has a completely different team [director, writer, animation director, storyboard artist], so there's a lot of differences between individual episodes.

I stopped watching Dandy at ep 5 I think. It certainly got better. The ramen restaurant at the end of the universe ep was good, and the zombie ep was hilarious, but for the most part it failed the 5 ep test and I had no motivation to keep watching due to the fanservice, zero characterization;etc. I deduced it wasn't my kind of anime and hung up my anime fan jacket soon after.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Je Suis un Devilman aussi

Since the themes can greatly differ from episode to episode, this wasn't exactly the kind of show one could pass judgement on after just a handful of eps.

Whatever, I guess.  I'm not at the stage in the anime fan life cycle where I give a crap about passionately defending my animus.

Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Je Suis un Devilman aussi
Post by: toku on January 11, 2018, 10:30:39 PM
hmm let me google that..

Quote
Kaoru is a 17-year-old virgin who has an S&M fetish. He has always dreamt about an SM relationship with his childhood friend Nana, who is looked upon as perfect and is always the target of boys' eyes. Their relationship has somewhat deteriorated through the years, due to them hanging out with different people and because Kaoru is not taking his education too seriously.

One day though, Kaoru's mother gives some of his S&M toys to Nana for safekeeping. Nana finds the leather one-piece that Kaoru bought and tries it on but accidentally locks herself in it and doesn't have the key!

Kaoru frees her of the one-piece, but then Nana realizes she may like Kaoru's hobby more than she thought. Subsequently, the two of them start engaging in so-called "breathers." These breathers are intended to relieve Nana of stress that originates from her attempts at keeping her grades and name perfect.

I think you have to approach Devilman with an ironic mindset. It's not high art in the least but its goodness (violence, sex, ridiculous story) and badness (animation, VA, script, etc.) blend together to make it more than the sum of its parts.

I don't really expect all anime to be good and never claimed that. Any time I watch a highly talked about anime though, I think it sucks. I think I lasted ten minutes into Devilman Crybaby. Finishing LOGH rewatch.

I think you have to approach Devilman with an ironic mindset. It's not high art in the least but its goodness (violence, sex, ridiculous story) and badness (animation, VA, script, etc.) blend together to make it more than the sum of its parts.

Pretty much. Everything I've seen of Go Nagai is shock value trashy (Devilman, Cutie Honey, Mazinger), but it can be fun in how ridiculous it is.

I didn't love Crybaby, but it's a solid piece of work.

They're going to do one of those Fathom screening events in theaters across the US on February 11th and 12th.

I liked Godzilla, the music really sells the film. Looking forward to Movie 2/Part 2.

I think this season has too many shows to keep up with but a real standout so far is After the Rain which is on Amazon Prime(rip anime strike). Amazon has Kokkoku and Killing Bites as well. Also A-1 and Trigger saving anime once again with Darling in the Franxx.

good stacked season so far.

Escaflowne is pretty good. It's a bit on the pretty boys side of anime, but it doesn't go too far in that direction and the story/mecha action/animation/soundtrack are darn good.

That was one of the first animes that ran over here, alongside Golden Boy. They were shown during night time, which added some special aura to it in my preteen perception. They put some random techno over the original opening, which is already most what I remember specifically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG4-MoWITdw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG4-MoWITdw)

Godzilla was so-so. Like I guess it could've been worse, but the directing was so bland, the script was so bland, Godzilla looked so bland PS1 CG texturing, it was just kinda ugly and boring for 90 mins. The action in the last 30 mins was ok I guess. As a Godzilla film and as an anime it's pretty weak, hopefully the 2nd movie is better.

Also as someone who hates CG anime but hasn't really watched any new CG anime in the last 5-10 years since the early ugly CG anime, this really didn't do anything to increase my opinion of modern CG anime. The CC2 cutscenes in Asura's Wrath/Naruto/.Hack or Arc Sys stuff with GG Xrd/DBZF looks way better than this.

not a fan of cgi anime either but something about the setting makes it work for me here, blame and sidonia. Probably because they're all set in some far off future and everyones pretty much wearing the same thing (dirty space suits or something similar) that I don't mind the look so much.

With Godzilla i liked the story? The idea of going back to finish the fight. The "twist" at the end. Looking forward to the other parts

The manga has plenty of one-shots that don't "advance" the overall plot. Episodes that aren't adaptations are great for the most part.

I'd recommend watching the anime even if you skip the "filler" because the serious arcs are well animated.

400 episodes isn't that much, plus watching the show get progressively prettier is cool.

Also the VA goes a long way in helping the jokes land at times.

Yu Yu Hakasho

I've spent the last couple weeks rewatching YYH from start to finish. I dug it as a kid on Adult Swim and then Cartoon Network, but lost interest (and I don't think it finished its run on Toonami either.) So aside from the early episodes and knowledge of the Dark Tournament, I went in blind.

It's a lovely series that expertly balances humor and levity with actual stakes and well-written characters. Every one of the characters behaves accurately to how they're introduced and set up, which makes their moments of character growth really hit home. You look at Yusuke in ep1 and Yusuke in ep112 and they're entirely different - but still the same. You look back and try to wonder where the "turn" was, but there's never just one point. It's a gradual, fulfilling  arc. And that goes for almost every character (except Keiko, the weakest link.)

The Dark Tournament is pretty lauded, but I enjoyed Chapter Black - more so the early episodes where Genkai is taking the piss out of Yusuke (and team) for being so brash, but I dug the progression and although it seemed like Sensui would be a pretty boring villain they kept on piling layers, to the point where his death soliloquy felt like a natural end to his character.

Of course Toguro sets the bar as a villain, and I did kinda miss him after a stretch. Part of me hoped he'd somehow show up in the final arc as Yusuke's ally to atone for his sins. The other side of Toguro is Genkai, who I deem as the most perfect anime character ever created. She's just so great, and her dub voice (Frieza's original Funimation VA) nails it. The dub in general is a sterling counterpoint to the "subs are better" crowd.

The weakest parts are concentrated in the final arc. It just feels so rushed. I did some research and Togashi was apparently writing the final chapters from a hospital bed, so it makes sense. They set up Hiei and Kurama fighting Yusuke and each other and they never do, and the manga cuts out their fights in the tournament too! Even Yusuke's final big battle in the manga with ostensibly the main bad dude of Demon World is cut after the first punches are thrown!

The anime thankfully added that fight back in, along with Hiei and Kurama's tourney fights, but cut some of the post-tourney hijinks (one investigating a girls' dorm that is supposedly haunted, another with Spirit World terrorists who are basically Bible thumpers.) The anime also cut out a pretty goddamn huge twist, one I must imagine Togashi wanted to turn into a full-fledged arc before he got fed up with Jump telling him to make YYH more like DBZ with tourneys (plus, as mentioned, his health battles.)

Having read the first couple and final five chapters of the manga, and having seen all of the anime, my opinion is that the anime is the superior work. Especially the dub - all the voices are so perfect.

Yu Yu Hakasho was great trip down memory lane that while not perfect still captured my interest with diverse worlds, interesting characters, and creative plots. Now, someone get me more Togashi material, stat!

Also Yusuke's fashion sense is on point. (http://comicbook.com/anime/2017/12/03/yu-yu-hakusho-best-anime-fashion-ever/) He's the anime nudemacusers.

Gurren Lagann is probably the last great Gainax work [Panty and Stocking is great, too, but feels much more like an Imaishi/Trigger passion project than a proper Gainax series]. And the bulk of their top talent has fled since then, so my expectations for any kind of Gainax revival are pretty slim.

Watched the Second season of My Hero Academia and the 3rd season of Food Wars. I'm generally not a person who likes really long running anime. I get why that stuff is popular but I personally don't get enjoyment out of it as it tends to stretch and warp what I consider good storytelling.

After really loving that first season of My Hero Academia, I just didn't enjoy this one nearly as much for those specific reasons. The second season is twice as long as the first yet I felt like nothing happened until like the last couple episodes. I mean there was plenty of fun character building stuff but I found myself wishing it was accelerated. I get that there is a dedicated manga audience that wants all that stuff to be brought over, but I'm just not generally that kind of viewer when it comes to anime. It's not a bad second season. I just didn't think it flowed perfectly like the first season did.

Food Wars is the same type of anime in terms of pacing but I felt like shit happened in the third season by comparison. They built to big moments and it felt like progression occurred (in far fewer episodes) even though the particular story arc wasn't remotely completed. It also helps of course that I just love the insanity of the show. It feels like it pokes fun at the tropes of anime while embracing them at the same time which is a really tricky line to stick to toe.

If you really liked it, I recommend watching the second movie if/when you're finished. They're mostly retellings, but with a couple of changes; both of them change their endings around a bit, and the second one in particular is really good

I could see that. I thought the first half was better than the second half in the TV show, and maybe with some retooling the 2nd half could be just as good. I still haven't watched the movies though I did play the Super Robot Wars based on the movies so I've seen the new final form in movie #2.

Also, I guess a good time to plug that Super Robot Wars X, featuring Gurren Lagann among other shows as playable characters, is coming out in full English Asia version in April on PS4.

They don't change a lot of a plot, mostly they add a couple stuff and make the final fight a bit more insane, and it's amazing. Gurren-hen is pretty rushed, but Lagann-hen is great.

Watched the first season of Little Witch Academia (25 episodes) and that was much better than I expected. Not that I somehow had bad impressions going into it, but it was just better than I thought it was going to be. It's fun. It's charming. It looks nice. It's well plotted. It's has a very nice arc for that first season. It does the arc in the exact way I like them to be done. Like I know there is going to be more show and I will watch it but you could literally stop here and be done with the series and be satisfied.

I think it would make a great show for little girls especially. Also little boys or adults for that matter but especially girls since the show has such a strong cast that is 95% female.

As much as Witch Academia has its flaws (Akko and Diana's relationship not having as much build as I would have liked, the remains of an Akko and Andrew romance that they thankfully dropped, that episode with the skeleton, among others) it became one my favorites. The Trigger style coupled with the innocence the show carries is really something else, it's hard to explain.

And the OVAs are amazing too

Post by: Stoney Mason on February 06, 2018, 09:03:39 PM
Honestly I have few complaints about that first season. I like how they balanced between standalone episodes and episodes that dealt with the arc. That's kind of how I like my serial television. I want arcs but I don't want everything to feel so slavishly devoted to the arc.

I'll compare to this to the 2nd season of My Hero Academia where half a season is dedicated to who wins the big tournament and a lot of episodes felt like nothing happened except a fight.

Watched two more anime series. Land of the Lustrous & Konosuba

Land of the Lustrous feels like art house anime a bit. It's good. It keeps its mystery and doles out the story at a slow rate to keep you hooked in. It also has nice tension. Compared to say something like Attack on Titan which sort of fetishes the deaths that happen, this one feels a lot more grounded by comparison. I think that is a good comparison in general. Like this feels like Attack on Titan but more for adults. Not a huge fan of the cg look of it but honestly the story makes you kind of forgot about that fairly quickly.

Konosuba works better than it has any right to because its legit funny with great dialogue and great voice acting. It's a pervy comedy but it knows it has to deliver the funny instead of just being for actual pervs. The setup and the world and plots are nothing new or noteworthy. But the characters are great and it works really hard to put them in situations where their personality and quirks come through. Funny good stuff - Both seasons.  Looks nice also for the most part.

escaflowne is a great show, ahead of its time. It's got all the elements of dope anime.

Cool but completely cold and distant older brother. Check
Pretty girl main character who is relatively stable until a bunch of hansome boys and women fall in front of her. check
Lead boy is handsome and thats...it. He's pretty and and can use a sword/mech. This is the start and end for him.
Gender ambiguous lieutenant of the big bad. Check.
hELLA SICK ART. Check.
Dope score. Check.
Cat girl. check.
cat girl loves and is obssesed with one of said handsome boys. check.
great animation throughout? double check

Escaflowne, together with DBZ and Cowboy Bebop, was what brought me to anime proper. Anime that I was watching before these shows were just cartoons for me.

Nostalgia aside, it's still one of my favorite anime shows. Like toku said, everything comes together. I don't think animu today is really able to produce another believable protagonist like Hitomi, without making her either an overpowered badass or some weak damsel - and perving on both of these types in the process.

The OST is great too:

Watched Made In Abyss. Another really good first season. Show is strong.

This is one that actually got better for me as it went on. Like halfway through I wasn't so sure about it. Not that the show did anything wrong but things I initially saw as flaws aren't actually flaws. At first the art style of the show (beautiful and cute) contrasted with the tone of the show for me. Even the tone of the show itself sort of contrasted with itself to me at first as it sort of combines whimsy one moment with darker themes. I was like I don't think the creators understand what they are mixing. By the end I realized I was the one who was wrong. They knew exactly what they were doing and it was all on purpose.

Shows gets dark at certain points. Episode 10 btw which is the darkest, I accidentally watched first as I mentioned in a post above. I've been on a anime kick recently because I tend to not watch anime for long stretches (years) and then catch up on the stuff I missed. Lots of good ones in recent years.

In a few hours~

Watched this. Enjoyed it overall. Crazy anime plot that's part serial killer thriller and part battle of the gods.  I couldn't place what they were using as inspiration fro the setting. European minis, french bakeries that make Asian goods, slightly modern military and modern police forces with computers.

KLK is pretty unapologetic with its blatant fanservice. The entire show is built around it, sure, but it's not hiding what it is.

The vid is more like Xenoblade 2 or SAO or shit.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Je Suis un Devilman aussi
Post by: Rufus on March 12, 2018, 05:35:52 PM
Yup, but the 'analysis' there actually fits KLK. Being true to yourself and feeling comfortable in your skin (by showing it) is actually a theme of the show. Should have expressed myself better, sorry.

I was 17 when watching this show the first and only time, and even then I had a hard time staying patient with Shinji and all the other angsty crap the show contained. But it's a classic I suppose and worth watching in so far as to see how it influenced the genre at large.

If they'd manage to finish that movie series someday, I'm gonna take a look at them.

I quite liked Evangelion back in the day but at this point, I can't even remember plot points. Just that it was a depressing show and I tend to like those if they are well executed. Maybe that will inspire a rewatch at some future point.

Started watching full metal alchemist which I never watched. For some reason I always had a negative impression of this show. No reason why. I just did so ignored it back when it was super popular.

Watched 5 episodes of Brotherhood and while its fine, I wasn't super invested for whatever reason. Watched the first five episodes of the original and that interested me more. I preferred the slower pacing and better explained world early on. Also the older art style made me nostalgic about that era of animation. I'll watch brotherhood also once I finish the older show which I'm about 15 episodes into.

It seems fine. It's not my favorite anime in the world but its certainly more than watchable.

Post by: desert punk on March 14, 2018, 05:29:29 AM
Never finished the original FMA show. The at times sluggish pacing didn't really do it for but more importantly, the show got very depressing and angsty at times. I don't really dig that, which explains my mild dislike of NGE, because otherwise I quite liked the style of that show.

Brotherhood was more upbeat I thought, or at least didn't dwell too much on the tragic stuff, of which there was still a lot of. Reason for that is the accelerated pacing I guess. I didn't have trouble following things, though the fact that I watched the original show at least halfways helped in that I suppose.

Post by: Stoney Mason on March 14, 2018, 05:44:33 AM
Yeah I had no real issues with brotherhood. It's more personal bias. I tend to prefer slower and less action than the average person although execution has to be strong for that approach to work.
Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Je Suis un Devilman aussi
Post by: Tasty on March 14, 2018, 09:41:44 AM
Brotherhood is an amazing shonen, one of the absolute greats, but the original anime was a perfect "right time, right place" for me. That is to say, I was much more emotionally invested in and affected by the original. The movie was buttcheeks though. :/

Need to sit down and go through NGE one of these days. I've seen a handful of eps wayyyy back in the day, but have mostly just stuck with Rebuild until now.

Have any of you guys seen the various animated Appleseed adaptions?

I read the first manga volume some years ago and liked it, but didn't want to read further because of it being unfinished. Though now I wanna try out the movies or OVAs but don't know where to start. Are they interconnected or is each production another interpretation of the manga? Are they even any good?

Nowhere near as good as the comics.  The first OVA from like 89 was OK but a condensed version of part of the story that left a lot out.  Then the CG movies that followed years later were just garbage, IMO.  I did watch whatever the last movie was (another CG film) and it was at least better than the earlier CG movies, but still forgettable.

Expelled From Paradise was a better CG Appleseed movie than Appleseed was.

Looks good. I only watched it a few years ago so I got no nostalgia for this show anyway.

They should have kept Naota as a protagonist though. He'd be in his 30s now, a balding frustrated salaryman with a dead-end job, having to suffer his father who moved in with his family and perves on his disinterested wife who's having an affair, maybe with that brother of Naoto's who came back from the States. And then the pink-haired chick with the Vespa appears and starts leading him on again.

Whats with the hate for Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans? People seem down on this show.

I'm halfway through season 2 right now and this is by far one of the best Gundam shows.

Good story. Good world building. Good and mostly well developed characters.

It's a good show and since it's passed episode 5 which is pretty much where Code Geass R2  and 00 fell apart(I'd say 00 fell apart at episode 2) I'm not worried the 2nd season will shit the bed.

I know it gets very miserable for the characters, but I never imagined anything would end happily.

And while I'm not too into the music of the show(00, Wing, and so on have good OSts though) the main theme of the show is pretty good. Clearly Sunrise was also pretty happy with it. First two openings are great as well.

IBO is great, anime fans have bad taste. The end.

There's like 2 weak arcs in the middle of IBO, but the first 13eps and the last 13eps are fantastic. Best Gundam show since 00 S1 easily. If you're enjoying it now, you should really enjoy the ending stuff.

Saw Lu over the wall directed by Yuasa. Mixed feelings. Felt way too much like Ponyo and the traditional “finds creature, has to keep it secret, gets found out, had to save it”. Art and animation were great and despite different art design feels pretty similar to his Tatami Galaxy & Walk on Girl animation mixed with a bit of Kaiba animation.

Main character sucks though. Really sucks. Movie would be a lot better with Makoto Shinkai characters.

Also, finally got around to watching Blame!. Had read either some or all of the manga like 15 years ago or something and didn't remember anything. I also hate 3d CG animation and Godzilla sucked.

This was great! Really well directed. Great pacing, great action direction, the CG animation worked really well with the style possibly because everyone was armored since CG animation mostly looks awkward with humans. Made me want to go back to the manga and read the rest. But yeah, this was very enjoyable.

Watched Knights of Sidonia S1 ep1 after and it was pretty good too and felt like Blame x Eva.  Will watch this.

So I went to a Maaya Sakamoto concert with duckroll in Hong Kong. She sang the Record of Lodoss War OP and holy shit that took me back. Such a good song & OAV.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aUfGClzhdI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC0IHmBdtWA

She also sang the Escaflowne OP which was kinda neat since it was her first song (and role as Hitomi) when she was 16. She's 38 now, time sure flies by.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbhcChdCAUk

And of course sang Rahxephon OP cause it rocks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t1_35xiub4

Only song she didn't play that I'm a big fan of is Wolf's Rain ED Gravity. That's like my go to anime song to sing at Karaoke places ;)

That is super cool Bebop. I would have loved to see her and hear the Escaflowne and Rahxephon ops live. The shows and songs honestly have played a pretty big part in my life.

I finished Iron Blooded Orphans. Beyond the kind of whiplash of Mcguills' actual plan, man what an amazing show. I don't quite understand why it isn't more popular. I'm not going to say it's some amazingly smart show, but honestly this is probably one of the best well rounded anime I've seen in a long time. Really good characters, really good themes, and well amazing action. The mech battles are really well directed and actually the sound design I thought was great. Barbatos' battles are well choreographed. I didn't even like most of the mech designs, but the action themselves is some of the best in the series.

The ending is bittersweet, but I'm not sure why people are so angry. The point of Tekkadan was keep going and they did up until the end. Those that died, died on their own terms for their own ideals and family. They accomplished so much. Rustal to me was the antagonist, but honestly beyond being super cunning, he wasn't evil. I would have liked maybe him getting something negative, but I also would have disliked a corny "Tekkadan's might showed everyone the way" or something. Their actions forced the world to change and unlike most Gundam shows it wasn't this big "they drooped a meteor on earth or something big". The change was the result of the events of the show and characters themselves.

I really don't understand the bad rap this show got. It really avoided a lot of the pitfalls of most Gundam shows and these long mech anime in general.

On gaf/era people thought it sucked and was a bad gundam. But the tastes of the anime fans there were always pretty  ::)

It's like the people who think the only good gundam is Turn A because it's art.
Now I like Turn A a lot (and Tomino  :heartbeat), but the series is boring as fuck episodic for like 50% of its run and only gets really great in the last few eps (and has one of the best endings, but most gundams have really good endings so that's not too surprising).

I guess I don't know because I'm not really involved with the anime community. So I don't know what popular consensus really is. But every time I've looked into impressions people seem meh to the whole thing.

I watched a lot of Youtube anime channels(and my tastes don't really fall in line with them) and a lot of them had "What happen to the mecha genre" type videos and were down on Iron Blooded as an example of the future of the genre. And I'm like why would you be? This was one of the best anime, let alone mecha shows in a long time.

And yeah I remember reading plenty of GAF posts that were down on the show.

Even the few podcasts I listen to like AWO seemed meh towards it.

Well I feel like my anime fandom has been revitalized thanks to Devilman Crybaby and Gundam Iron Blooded. I didn't stop watching anime, but it was the occasional show or stuff I already was familiar with. Oh and Gundam stuff. I just don't know where to go from here. I don't have any real interests in slice of life shows which seems to be whats popular with modern anime fandom. Or more shounen action shows. I think in the last 5 years or so the most recent anime I've watched where:

Fate Zero-Good, but couldn't get into the followups because I don't care about Japanese highschoolers.

Aldonah Zero-Awful.

Attack on Titan-Great, but it fits my interests in anime. Good action, great premise, cool world, good long forum story, and a large and engaging cast.

Kabanari-It was ok, nice art. Decent lead. Pretty bland cast.

A Women Called Fujiko Mine-Mostly because of the art direction, but thematically interesting show.

Darling in the Franxx-Watching now, pretty terrible.

Penguindrum-This show is pretty great.

Blood C-Liked it until the movie.

Any anime of the last 5 years I should be on the look out for?

Anime I think is really good or super enjoyable-Evangelion, Macross Plus, Giant Robo, Escaflowne, Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop. SAC 2nd Gig, GitS, Utena, AoT, Gunbuster, Space Adventure Cobra, The First FMA(don't care for Brotherhood), FLCL, Read or Die The TV, Rahxephon maybe, Vottoms, Kill La Kill, Magical Moddaka though I need to watch the 3rd movie, SDF Macross, A lot of Gundam, Big O, and so on)

One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100 are both good.

The JoJo series.

Natsume's Book of Friends seems to be a consistently enjoyable show.

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu and it's second season are some of my favourite anime in ages.

Edit: If you're into Ashita no Joe or Hajime no Ippo it seems there's an upcoming anime called Megalo Box which is an Ashita no Joe 50th anniversary tie-in.

I quite liked Evangelion back in the day but at this point, I can't even remember plot points. Just that it was a depressing show and I tend to like those if they are well executed. Maybe that will inspire a rewatch at some future point.

Started watching full metal alchemist which I never watched. For some reason I always had a negative impression of this show. No reason why. I just did so ignored it back when it was super popular.

Watched 5 episodes of Brotherhood and while its fine, I wasn't super invested for whatever reason. Watched the first five episodes of the original and that interested me more. I preferred the slower pacing and better explained world early on. Also the older art style made me nostalgic about that era of animation. I'll watch brotherhood also once I finish the older show which I'm about 15 episodes into.

It seems fine. It's not my favorite anime in the world but its certainly more than watchable.

So finished up the original show and the movie. About 10 episodes into Brotherhood. After having watched one fully and the other a bit more, I can say that I prefer Brotherhood. Original is fun enough and certainly has interesting plot points and characters but it also has a number of flaws.

1.) In the original character constantly have important crucial information they decide not to share with allies for drama reasons. It's very frustrating. One early example is the initial conflict between Ed and Al over Al's nature over whether he is real. The ways its handled in the original doesn't make sense and is strictly done to create a drama episode for no good reason. It's handled in like half an episode in Brotherhood in a more logical and heartfelt manner. This happens alot in the original. Like it became a running joke for me to yell at the screen Tell somebody!

2.) The plotting in the original often doesn't make sense. Like they know where they want to go from Plot Point A to Plot Point B but the path in between  often makes no sense or once again seems delayed to create drama sakes. So Instead of being able to enjoy the journey, I was constantly yelling for characters to act more sensibly.

3.) This isn't really a flaw but more a pet peeve of mine. But as I grow older, I'm less interested in a plot mechanic where the bad guys have all the knowledge. And the good guys have no knowledge and therefore seem like idiots bumbling around in the dark for most of the show. This is a pretty common plot device and if everything else is working in a show, I won't gripe about it, but when I have issues with other parts of the show, I start to find this device grating as you feel like you are just waiting for the heroes to catch up to knowledge you have had for like 20 or 30 episodes.

So yeah I think that's about it. I like original FMA but it wouldn't come close to cracking a top ten of anime for me personally. I'll finish up brotherhood at some point and post some thoughts about that.

I'm not done with Brotherhood, but I haven't liked it as much as the first anime. Too much shounen action and the retread parts felt way too rushed and sloppy. It's not bad, but the first one felt more serious and "mature" whatever that means. Brotherhood is good and it seems to be what modern anime fans consider great, but it's merely ok to me.

I've been re-watching Giant Robo The Day Earth Stood Still and to me this is an anime masterpiece. The music, the direction, the animation, art direction, voice acting(in Japanese), and story are all firing on all cylinders. I really wish this was more popular as it is pretty close to the perfect anime.

So I didn't realize the Kizumonogatari film trilogy was done and out at this point. The original Bakemonogatari still one of the best directed/written shows imo. Bakemonogatari is an extremely fun word play like if David Mamet did a harem perv play. But started watching Kizumonogatari last night with movie 1 and it was really fucking boring :(

Thing is that I tried watching a few of the sequels to Bakemonogatari and none of them had the magic of the original and they were all really boring. I was kinda hoping being big budget films and being the big prequel story to how everything came to be, that Kizumonogatari would be amazing,

maybe it still will be. Gonna watch movie 2 tonight. Really hope it gets better than movie 1.

Also if Kizumonogatari ends up being all zzz, I'm gonna go with that Shinbou got too big for his own good and lost what made him a hip stylish cutting edge director like he was when he came in with stuff like Soul Taker, or Sayonara Zetsubou or Bakemonogatari. Now he's all big and famous and he has underlings doing most of the work for him. Aka the Suda 51 curse. We'll see...

Suda's problem was getting snatched up by big publishers. They didn't let him make the games he wanted to make so the directorial roles would go to other employees at Grasshopper. He basically lost the passion for making games, but he's back after the indie boom giving him some hope. Like, it's actually cool now to make smaller experimental games.

Souten No Ken Regenesis: Oh snap, Fist Of The Blue Sky is back!?  ...Oh snap, it's being done with shitty CG animation like that Berserk show was.  :-\  Looks like a video game running at like 15 FPS.  Really jarring.  The violence is almost hilarious with people being perfectly cut in two without any gore.

Lupin III Part V: More of the same, but not too shabby for a first episode.  This reminds that I never saw the previous Lupin series that came on before this one did.

Well, Kizumonogatari movies were zzz. Maybe if it was 2 movies instead of 3 it would’ve worked better. There’s just not much story there, definitely feels stretched out. The wacky fights are fun to watch but don’t have any weight. Also the story isn’t that great and doesn’t really bring much to the series. I can see why when they decided to do the Bakemonogatari anime they skipped it and just did it as a 3 minute clip video in ep1.

Up to ep8 in G Reconguista and starting to see why people have some grievances with the show. It’s fucking crazy. Every ep there’s a new mech upgrade, there’s a ton of characters & plot constantly thrown at you without slowing down, characters seem to change moods every ep (classic Tomino) and the action can be really hard to follow. I love Tomino so I don’t mind the second & third things, and I feel like it and the constant upgrades (which I’m cool with) feel like a result of compacting a 50ep series into 26eps so everything moves at double the speed. That being said, I’m rewinding a few times trying to follow things here during the action scenes so it makes the action direction less satisfying. Not sure what’s up with that, I’ve never felt Tomino was a bad action director in the past.

The animation in G Reco is so good. There’s all these little life like touches constantly like people stumbling down things or doing little flips or animals running by that adds a ton of character. Love that. Music’s good too.

G Reco is pretty much where I realized that as much as I like Gundam, I don't like Tomino. He's just not a good writer and often his shows are pretty terribly told. Zeta is pretty awfully paced and the character writing and plot not much better. ZZ just has an odd tone. Victory is ok. I just found Turn A pretty bring. G Reco was nonsensical. The best version of OG Gundam is the Origin Manga. Char's looks great, but man is it filled with obnoxious character's and dialogue.  F91 is well F91.

I liked Unicorn, but the worst parts of it where honestly the parts that felt like they were emulating Tomino. 08th MS Team and 0080 are great and well feel like the least Tomino Gundam shows in the UC. Thunderbolt is dumb fun. 0083 is dumb, but looks pretty.

I mean at this point I kind of like the AU shows more.

Wing is beyond stupid, but somewhat fun in how bizarre it is. G Gundam is great, but Imagawa is a great director and writer. Seed is well...I like teen angst and at least Seed feels eventful. Seed Destiny.....00 Season 1 was good, S2 not so much, because well they tried to make it like a normal Gundam show. Age is bad. Iron Blooded is great. X is decent.

I like Gundam, but I guess like everything its pretty mixed in the bad and the good.

But if I'm being honest I'd almost want to rank Macross higher soley on the backs of Plus(GOAT), DRYL, and the Original Series. Zero and F kind of drag the series down, but the first F movie was ok. Haven't watched more then one episode of 2 which while it looked great, it was also pretty bad. Delta dosen't interest me. Have Blu ray rips of all of 7, but haven't watched it yet.

Honestly for anime I kind of am on the "does this shit the bed towards the end" rating scale. Which plenty of anime do, but I often find Gundam shows pretty much lose steam towards the end. Wing sure does as it spends the last 10 episodes kind of just wondering in place while Zechs and crew just do random shit and then bam all of a sudden final battle while a Lady Une randomly wakes up after being gone for 20+ episodes. Seed Destiny sucked the whole time, but really just stops giving a shit when it makes Kira the main character. All would have been forgiven if the plots and development of the Minerva crew went somewhere. They don't. Zeta I don't even remember the 2nd half beyond here's Four again. Thought she died. Nope oh and here's another messed up physic with Rosamia and final battle time after that. I give Seed credit because there's a continuing escalation and follow through of the plot up until the ending. Same with Iron Blooded. I use to think as a kid that oh most Gundam shows get better in the 2nd half because thats where all the action is. Maybe that's true, but it's also where a lot of them lose their way.

Rahx, you're entitled to your opinion of course, but that's an odd take on Gundam to say that the ends are the weaker aspects. I'd argue the most consistent part of Gundam series is that no matter how weak the shows are, they usually finish strong with everything coming together and character deaths and big epic finales.

Like the only Gundam I can think of with a forgettable nothing finale is Destiny, but Destiny sucks so that's not too surprising.

You mention Zeta. Zeta's 2nd half with Four and stuff is whatever like you said, but the last 4-6 eps? That's some of the best anime of Gundam. The end battles with so much going on at once, Char vs. Haman, Kamille vs. Paptimus, the two Gals fighting, it's epic as fuck and the end waverider smash is one of those timeless anime moments.

Turn A is pretty boring, but that ending fight with all the music playing and the butterfly cocoon and the song with the epilogue? Amazing.

The original Gundam, Amuro floating in space? So good. SEED, Isaac and the other guy, the death of you know who -> Kira falling and pulling himself together for the big battle, etc...

Gundam finales are pretty good...

I'm only 8 eps into G Reco, so can't tell on that one yet. Overman King Gainer was ok, Turn A was solid, Brain Powerd was great (yeah I'm alone on that one, I love BP).

I get most people don't like Tomino's style. I've always really liked it but I get the criticism. Not everyone likes an entire cast acting like they've got BPD. I think Tomino definitely rides that genius/crazy borderline. Some scenes in G Reco so far are the best storyboarded scenes I've ever seen in anime, some are really bad.

I liked G Reco (love the mecha designs), but I'm never going make the argument that it's good. It gets pretty damn crazy and incoherent by the end.

Zeta while being one of my favorites, has it flaws, particularly with female characters. Dude didn't seem to understand women while he was making that.

Yeah, Tomino does not know how to write women. I'm fully in agreement with that.

You'd almost think he was misogynist in that he writes every women as crazy and overly-emotional
...but then you realize he also writes every man as crazy and overly-emotional.

Ok, so I watched another couple of eps of G-Reco (through ep10 now) and one thing I think people overlook with Tomino is the guy is fucking funny. He's like this old dude who makes the silliest random slapstick and lols to himself as he draws it and it's totally amazing that it's animated and allowed to be released.

Like there is this constant animal joke theme where mechs will fly by sloths and other animals and G-Self will jump in first person and as it jumps a looney-toons style bird nest will flip over, and then the enemy pilot lands in the swamp and his buddies come to get him and their thrusters are pushing him over into the swamp as these looney toons crocodiles swim around him and he's trying to balance not falling.

Tomino's a big fan of the Animaniacs/Looney Toons-era humor that he grew up with and he puts it everywhere in his modern happy Tomino (post Zeta). You have stuff like the main guy running into a wall, people falling and flailing in all kinds of funny ways, etc...

I think that stuff is great and it's funny seeing the juxtaposition between a serious war show that's told in a goofy silly way. Like you have the heads of state and the holy church head having a serious conversation only to pause and go "this tea is delicious!"  :lol  Or an army hyping up a cheer only for the commander to butt in and be like STOP CHEERING WTF GO DO YOUR JOB.

Also some of the dialogue is so good. Why Bellri can't launch and the captain asks what he's doing he goes "I'm crying here, it's like I don't have a reason to exist!" (泣いてますよ！存在意義がない!); the over-exaggeration of everything is really funny.

idk, maybe this show isn't good, but I'm laughing my ass off enjoying every ep, so idk! I also really liked ZZ Gundam for its silliness in the first half. I like Tomino's childish old man sense of humor.

But yeah, the action direction is really bad and hard to follow.

Also another part of what makes it great is he's so rich and famous he can do whatever he wants, so he just does it. Like in Wings of Rean where a bunch of angsty kids chop down the Tokyo Tower lol. Dude is fucking crazy and it's amazing. In a way he's kind of my hero of what I'd like to be when I'm in my 70s!

It really did, it was like a cliff-notes version of the game.

My Hero Academia S3 premiered on Saturday but it was a filler and recap episode. :'( New opening is good tho.

Golden Kamuy is nice but it has CG bears and wolves. Read/support the manga if you can, it's really good.

Serious space opera with adult characters:

Watched the first two episodes since yeah, this is more in line with my tastes than traditional anime fare.

First thought. Intro song sounds like Jefferson Starship's "Nothing gonna stop us Now".

 :lawd


First two episodes play out as basically a cat and mouse game between to young brilliant generals. Neither side initially portrayed as evil which is nice. That's all you can pretty much say.

Never watched the original show, so I have no basis for comparison but I'll keep watching this.

More new animoo watchings:

Shokugeki no Souma/Food Wars: San no Sara- Continuation of season 3, picking right up where episode 12 left off.   You know what to expect here.

Persona 5 the Animation- Like the Persona 4 anime, seems to be a pretty close adaption of the game story, down to the same camera angles and music in some cases.

Golden Kamuy- This one might be a winner.  Takes place in the early 1900s in Hokkaido.  The main character is basically the anime equivalent to Tom Cruise's character in the Last Samurai and is a sole survivor of a brutal Japanese/Russian war conflict.  He goes looking for gold that is supposedly hidden in Hokkaido and the maps are tattooed on the backs of a bunch of prison escapees.  He meets up with an Ainu girl and they go fighting bears and shit.  Pretty bloody, although not a gore fest either. 

Uchuu Senkan Tiramisu- Silly little space/mecha gag anime.  Episodes are like 4-5 minutes long and kinda funny.  Wish it was a full-length series.

Megalobox- Another winner.  Seems to be tied to Ashita No Joe somehow but is basically post-apocalyptic boxing the anime.

One thing I like about G-Reco is that no one can hear each other in cockpits, yet everyone still talks to themselves constantly. It's neat because it's more realistic (the minovsky particles blocking all radio signals) but also funny because Bellri is always yelling "I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU, YOU BETTER NOT DIE" :lol, also it's kinda interesting to see how people on the same side have to coordinate when they can't communicate with each other. Some interesting situations. I'm so used to everyone being able to talk to each other in mechs it's just kinda neat seeing no one be able to hear each other. Except when they actually attach an audio line or physically touch each other which is kinda cool.

The show definitely has some neat sci-fi concepts like the directional airbags deploying all the time.

Also I don't get how a show with such gorgeous art & animation that screams $$$ couldn't get a 2nd OP and it's just a collection of clips? Odd.

Finished up the first season. By the time it was over I liked it. That writer does an interesting thing where he undercuts the moment which works really well. Instead of how most of these anime's are really a build up of a badass to an ultimate level, he always focuses on the human side which serves to ground the whole thing in a way that most anime often fails at. Same as in one punch man. You can feel the similarities since he does both. He is less interested in just showing a badass versus playing with how it feels to be an actual person in the context of these kind of escapist power fantasies. The final confrontation is wonderfully done.

People really need to not be sleeping on Megalo Box this season. I mean, we're talking about a post-apocalyptic mech-assisted boxing anime! But if that's not enough, it's just a really well made show with a gritty, down-to-earth look and feel like it came from the early 00s instead of the current anime environment. And it oozes with coolness and confidence, the kind of show made by people who actually know what they're doing and care about craft. I wish there could be more shows like this in a year, but you just gotta appreciate them when they come along.

More new animoo watchings:

You need to be watching Hinamatsuri, bork. The synopsis [A girl with psychic powers appears in the home of a yakuza tough and he is forced to take care of her] doesn't do the show justice at all. Rather than being some pandering animu garbage or some overwrought melodrama or some awful mashup of the two, it's actually a really well-crafted absurdist comedy [with a few touches of genuine feelings]. Like, this is an anime comedy that almost shouldn't exist: one where the characters [with all their faults] are actually almost universally likable, the comedy is well-timed and actually funny, the brief touches of feels are earned and don't overstay their welcome, and it never comes across as trying to pander to the lowest common denominator. Unless it just falls completely off a cliff in the next few episodes, it's gonna be up there with Nichijou and Cromartie High School for me.

There's actually quite a lot of Ashita no Joe in there. Most of the characters play basically the same role as in the original. It's basically Tomorrow's Joe: Apocalypse. The pacing of the story is a lot faster than the original and Junk Dog isn't an asshole like Joe.

So I finished G-Reconguista. After really enjoying the first half on earth for its sillyness and fun and likeable characters, once it went to space...wow.
I can't decide whether this is the worst tv show I've ever seen, or just the worst gundam ever made. Probably just stick with the latter.

The second half of this show MAKES NO SENSE. When people talk about incomprehensible I usually think they're overexaggerating. People said the same thing about Brain Powerd and Wings of Rean, but I didn't have a problem following either. Yeah the characters were all nuts and overly-emotional, but they made sense to me. G-Reco MAKES NO SENSE. It was so bad, like something was going seriously fucking wrong in production. I had no idea who these different sides fighting were and what they were fighting for and people kept switching sides and every ep people kept getting insanely OP mechs out of nowhere and what what what what what.

The final couple eps of just action was sorta ok because you can go into them with a mindset "ok, this is TEAM A vs TEAM B vs TEAM C" and just watch them fight for a couple eps, but even then nothing had impact because none of these characters had character arcs. Like I think I liked Genius Boy Klim, because he's a goofball in the first half and he calls himself Genius Boy but when he's fighting in the final battle it just felt like his character had done nothing the whole show and had no point. Which is like every character. Even the antagonist Mask. And then the final fight just sorta ends, and it doesn't even make sense, and none of the weapons make any sense.

In a lot of the 2nd half in Space I was bored and barely getting through 1 ep at a time because with no comprehension I couldn't invest/care about anything and it was zzz, by the last few eps I was angry because it was nonsense and nothing mattered and everything was crap and this was the worst gundam I've ever seen, even worse than SEED Destiny & AGE. Tomino shows are not like this. Something seriously went wrong in G-Reco's production. Very unhappy  :maf

Watched the Blame! movie. Even though it's on netflix, I bought the Blu ray for that best quality and the movie looks really good. Between this and Batman Ninja I'm starting to accept the strange cut frame cgi anime thing. Some parts still looked janky, but on a whole it looked really good and mostly captured the manga's look. Mostly the architecture, mechanical design, and the main character designs. Also the sound in the movie is excellent. Which actually helps convey the look as everything sounds like it has weight and feeling.

I will say I am impressed they made a coherent movie out of BLAME!. I like the manga, but it's pretty much a whatever looks cool type of enterprise. I've always enjoyed the manga's art and atmosphere. I've also always whatevered the story.  Nothing here is amazing, but it's competent. It's a typical western drifter helps small village type of story, which works best for Killy. Some of it's attempts at "emotional" stakes are a little lame, but in general ntohing here is obnoxiously bad. It never craps the bed or actually is super confusing which is honestly all I'm looking for when it comes to anime these days. I will say the middle part drags a bit.

As a fan of the manga I will say my disappointments is when it comes to the characters is that the various Safe Guards that appear in the manga look super cool aren't in the movie. Just Sana-Kan who is an important one, but she isn't the most interesting looking safe guard. Also missing is a lot of the body horror that the manga depicts and there's a scene in the movie where it should have been employed that it glosses over. Budget and tech issues probably, but still kind of a disappointment.

Other than that, it was a pretty fun anime movie.

I actually rewtached Evangelion a few weeks ago and you know what? I feel like the first half gets a bad rap. Sure it gets more interesting in the 2nd half, but the first half is full of really good direction, actual humor, really good writing, world and myth building, and good character stuff.

I've heard people skip the 1st half on rewatches and I feel thats a mistake.

I've been catching up on some new animu this weekend:

Amanchu Advance - More anime from Junichi Sato and the ARIA mangaka, so it's right in my wheelhouse. I love this style of comfy, mellow, slice-of-life yuri anime.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku - Romcom about moderately well-adjusted adult otaku trying to juggle work, relationships, and hobbies. It's cute and funny, I really like it.

Magical Girl Site - lawl, I think I cut myself on all the EDGE. The main character is a high school girl that gets beat up at school every day by bullies, nearly raped, then goes home and gets beat up by overachiever older brother, who considers her his punching bag for venting his frustrations, punching her repeatedly in the stomach until she cries and vomits. And the bullies kill her cat too, because why not? OMG SO DARK, GET FUCKED MADOKA MAGICA, THERE'S A NEW DARK SHERIFF IN TOWN.  ::) Then the story begins for real, and it's just a lame Madoka ripoff. All the Magical Girls get "sticks" that grant them one power, and every time they use that power it drains some of their life force, and there's an upcoming End-of-the-World event called The Tempest, because Walpurgis Night was already taken. Meh.

Aggretsuko: Big Mood, the anime. :noah

Even though I said "skip all of Evangelion and just watch EoE", I'm actually a filthy liar and am rewatching Evangelion. And tbh, it makes a lot more sense now than when I last watched it when I was ~20. Not the religious symbolism and technobabble, all that stuff just is what it is, but I mean Shinji makes sense now. He's scared and confused, people are always demanding shit from him and making him do some job he's barely qualified for and hates, he just wants to crawl up into a corner and die, but he pulls through (barely) with the love and support of his friends. Evangelion is just "Being an Adult: The Anime".

I still love Tomino, even if the backhalf of G-reco was the worst gundam ever. I'm not sure how much I blame him for that since there were clearly production issues (and I got confirmation that the show was supposed to be 50 eps when the script was written and during production got changed to 26, which I'm sure played a big part of it being nonsense).

That being said not everything Tomino touches is great. CCA outside the battle scenes, music and the ending kinda sucks, F91 is bad outside the mecha (F91 was supposed to be a 50 ep storyline script that they had to do in a 2 hour movie lol). But unlike a lot of people I love all of Gundam ZZ.

Having not seen the new FLCLs yet, the best thing about the new FLCLs is that they're bringing over The Pillows for an LA show for the first time in like 15 years to promote it! Just announced today and tickets went up.

Downside of US Pillows shows is they pretty much just play FLCL songs
Upside of the US Pillows shows is that they play pretty much FLCL songs and it's in the US

Japan shows each year play good variety of stuff but only a couple of old classics from that era. Then again they have soooo many good songs post-FLCL era. Hopefully FLCL S2/S3 songs pull from their newer albums over the last 20 years.

He's one of those "I LIVE IN JAPAN HERE'S STUFF ABOUT JAPAN.  JAPAN JAPAN JAPAN JAPAN JAPAN DID U KNOW I LIVE IN JAPAN!?!?" kind of "reporters."  Anyway, love some of the comments:

I got a notice from Amazon that my pre-order of the 3rd volume was cancelled by the publisher (J-Novel) as well. I was enjoying the series too. Not sure what was supposed to make the reader uncomfortable, maybe whatever it was got lost in translation. Hopefully it will be temporary, because I really do want to continue the series.

Edit: Oh I see, the whole killed 3000 people in a war. It’s a war people die, why does that make people uncomfortable? I figured it was probably an exaggeration anyways. At least that is what it came accross like when I read it.

I like how you can’t understand why anyone would care about thousands of people dying in a war but you expect all of us to feel super-bad for you because you don’t get to read a light novel.

“The light novel’s creator writes under the penname MINE. When the anime was announced, Twitter users pointed to tweets MINE made between 2012 and 2015 with racist and derogatory comments towards China and South Korea.”
Reading is hard, isn’t it?

Calamity of a Zombie Girl- Couldn't get through the first episode.  This was so all over the place- starts like a bad horror movie with a nonsensical plot, and then when the titular zombie girl (should be girls- there's two of them) pop up, there's this weird shift and it's trying to be humorous, but is instead just completely fucked up, like an old man getting his brains splattered and then one of the zombie girls gets nekkid and eats his brains.  What made me turn it off was when a girl rips a dude's arm off and acts all kawaii-uguu~ about it, but it wasn't funny at all due to the tone being so off. 

Probably a good anime for the Bore to watch.  :doge

Food Wars season ended, watched all of Megalobox, and I caught up with Golden Kamuy in the past week. I need to find something else to watch. MHA and Gundam Build Divers are all that I have left.

How are Darling in the Franxx and Rage of Bahamut? Maybe I should stop only looking into crunchyroll and check my netflix anime backlog.

Classic show and im legit kinda upset they couldn't get the film re-make off the ground. It's in that adapation sweet spot where not only is the material kinda dated, it's also not super popular enough to really ruffle anyone's feathers. They could have done something really cool and special.

Dororo is another where idk how we haven't had any sort of adaptation of it outside of a live action movie and a ps2 video game in the mid to late aughts.

Reclaiming your body parts makes for a really good gimmick at the beginning (you play in b&w until you reclaim your eyes), but it becomes monotonous. There's loot, kind of? And the last boss is a total pain. That's all I remember.

Finally got around to finishing Godzilla Anime movie #2. Was about as zzz as the first. Don't have a lot of hope for the 3rd one at this point. They're not terrible movies, but they're terribly uninteresting movies that do nothing with Godzilla other than have it sit for like 90% of the movie and then walk a few steps and shoot a few blasts.

I'd never seen Aldnoah Zero, so until now I was like it can't be bad, Urobochi stories are fucked up and interesting! But now I'm like, fuck I hope Aldnoah Zero isn't boring like Godzilla movies :(

To be fair, the best part of Godzilla Movie #2 were the mecha designs of the Vulture units. Looked pretty cool flying around.

It says a lot about the product when they're focusing on who is making it as opposed to what the story, which sounds bland and cliche as fuck, is.  I also like the studio head acting like this being hand-drawn means something when that still applies to most cartoons.

Yup. "Buy this because I'm nice and I'm like you" is a bad business proposition when compared to, "Buy this because it's good."

Started exploring some of the Anime on Amazon Prime.
Started The 12 Kingdoms. I read like 3 of the books like 10 years ago. I thought they were fun. Don't remember much about the books but I dig the early 2000s aesthetic.

Also started Rage of Bahamut. We'll see if that's any good. Only one episode in, but it's wonderfully animated.

If western studios put out content like last years Watanabe Blade Runner short would you watch?

Yes, and I believe we're going to see more mature/serious toned shows going forward thanks to platforms like netflix.

Batman TAS is the first thing I think of. Also Real Adventures if Johnny Quest.

So I’m trying to see if there’s a market for the animation I want to make. Batman TAS was a resounding success but Real Adventures iirc, bombed and was cancelled. But that was over 20 years ago. So tough to tell.

There's definitely a market for mature animation in America, but there really doesn't seem to be much interest from any major animation studio to make it themselves. Seems like the best you could reasonably hope for would be finding a few other people who want to make that kind of stuff and trying to get something going on Kickstarter or Patreon.

Make the market.  I know you're looking to do something more serious but you gotta take even something like the recent Castlevania netflix show as a good sign.

I was saying to a buddy recently how I think both western animation and comic books are in a great place right now. I feel like we're just now getting out of "make it look like anime" and have finally arrived at place where its more influenced. The source material being properly digested now. All that and a lot of ppl have gone back to re-appreciate just what disney and stuff like the 40s superman cartoon have done for animation.

I'm rambling, sorry.

Lupin V's ending :rejoice

Looking forward to getting back to it- we stopped part V to go finish up part IV instead of going back and forth.  Two more episodes left of that season to go- which I don't understand, because 24 was very clearly the end, with Lupin and co. leaving Italy, and then 25 is like "HEY HERE'S ITALY AGAIN AND REBECCA!"  Did Crunchy Roll fuck up and put this season out of order or something? ???

EDIT: Why yes.  Yes, they did.  The last two episodes were OVAs, released before the season ended, and rather than put them before the last storyline, CR just threw them in at the end as "25 and 26."  Good job.

The Persona 5 anime ended yesterday.  The left it at a cliffhanger with
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Goro shooting Joker
[close]
and it will be resolved in an OVA at the end of the year.

Overall it was pretty mediocre compared to the game, however it did some things better (most notably smoothed over the Ryuji and Morgana squabble, gave Goro better development and gave /mygirl/ Kawakami some fan service).

Also the second opening is really fucking awesome.

Despite how it seems at first glance, Zombie Land Saga looks like it's going to be a really good show. I mean, MAPPA is pretty consistently great, but seeing "zombies" pretty much just makes my eyes glaze over at this point, but this really surprised me. Lot of fun, great comedy, worth checking out.

Edit: Goblin Slayer is so edge-lord. The first episode has a party of adventures being brutally slaughtered, some rapin', and goblin babies getting clubbed to death. :lol

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken: This is kinda sorta a rip off of the spider isekai.

Skull-Face Bookseller Honda-San is the best anime this season.  An entire story devoted to the titular skeleton bookseller dealing with the menace of yaoi fangirls and foreign otaku!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcdgjH59LQU

Saw the My Hero Academia movie on Saturday.  Wasn't really anything that special story-wise (cool seeing younger All Might in 'Murica for a little bit though) but was cool going to see this in a theater.  There were some dudes sitting next to us that I never would have thought as otaku-types, but once it started going they were laughing out loud and cheering for fucking EVERYTHING.   :lol

It's about a girl and a dragon. She had to learn how to pilot the dragon by being swallowed by it and pressing parts of its stomach to make it perform various maneuvers. It's a very cute and good show.

Small quibble: the show is legit and obviously bad, but bad in the way that Elfen Lied or Highschool of the Dead were bad (i.e. so bad they're good). Just because the world has gone mad with Kulturkampf shite that doesn't mean we have to sit on imaginary fence posts.

I gotta imagine HS of the Dead was ripping Kohta Hirano, in which case the "badness" was very much intended and meant to be as on-the-nose as possible. Read the Hellsing omakes, or hell, just read Hellsing.

Appealing to people's better nature seems futile when they're richly rewarded with attention and Patreon money. This guy has 1.4m subs and uploads a couple times a month. He was probably very relieved to have more fodder to re-distribute.
Jim Sterling corned himself this way, too. Live by the shit-stirring commentary, die by the shit-stirring commentary.

As for the video, I only read this thread for anything anime, so I don't know how much he's exaggerating things but he reveals his hand too much when he laments the quality of discourse. Fingerwagging in a heavily edited, almost 7 minute long sarcastic diatribe. Come on, man. :doge

Never saw Elfen Lied, but no, can't agree here- High School Of The Dead definitely fits the "so bad it's good" description and was wonderfully stupid and cheesy.  Goblin Slayer was just "serious" shit trying to be serious and just plain awful.  I'm not talking about the show, BTW- I read the comic.  That's one thing that the video doesn't seem to mention while mocking the criticism- you can go read the manga to get an idea of the plot progression and "world building."  It's shit.  Same old crap that's been done a billion times before.  I checked out some of the later chapters, too, and it seems like a lot of the shock stuff from that first chapter was toned down.  Instead you get the bumbling adventures of Goblin Slayer who never seems to remove his armor or say his name and loli-esque sidekick who gets naked and takes baths for whole chapters.

I've heard that there are actual 5th Edition character sheets shown in the manga hence the D&D. (Not going to read it to find out, obviously.)

3. Some demon invasion is going down and bringing all the free races together but the gang is hunting goblins because the elves can't send an army to clear out a massive nest in their own lands because the kingdom(s) of men do geopolitics as bad as the U.S. government does
4. They have cheese and wine around the campfire like a couple of bougie dorks, tech startup much?
5. Etna the elf gets smashed off the wine like it's pledge week and asks Slayer why he's drinking with his helmet on
6. Etna the elf does some gun kata with a bow

YYH op still gets me hype. The English version was always surprisingly good.

The new YYH OVA is two parts, each based on a chapter of the manga originally skipped over by the anime.

"Two Shots" details Hiei and Kurama's first meeting.

Episode 4 lowlights:

1. Everyone thinks Goblin Slayer-san is going to kill a prisoner but instead he kills a goblin in the room no one else could tell was there. Then he goes "idk what y'all were thinking; I'm here to kill goblins." (In the first episode he killed a wounded adventurer.)
2. When they finally get to the underground goblin lair they wait until the goblins start to wake up, then cast a sleep spell on all of them, then massacre them for a few minutes while they sleep.
3. The boss of the lair isn't a goblin. Slayer has never heard of its species before because he's a massive bumpkin. ("Oh... so you're not a goblin?" -Slayer)
4. Slayer has to pop some potions to finish the fight and he does it with his back turned to keep up the "this guy eats and drinks with his helmet on" sight gag.
5. Weaponized town portal scrolls.

"Goblins?! You would use this to kill mere goblins?"

Double Decker! Doug & Kirill is pretty good!  Apparently this is a spin-off from Tiger & Bunny, but I didn't watch that so I'm not sure if there's a big connection between the two or not.  Definitely has the same art style though.

At first glance this show looks like a typical "buddy cop" kind of show, and it sort of is...but the characters' personalities and the humor really shines here.  It has a lot of western-influenced humor and references that make it stand out from everything else.

The ending theme is great, too! :rock

Seems like VRV Premium is the way to go then. Gives you Funi's channel directly, and you can link it with Crunchyroll to get premium there too (but not the other way around.) IIRC. It was a while ago they let you do this.

Been showing my gf some Studio Ghibli movies and yesterday we saw Nausicaa... this has always been one of my favorites in the Ghibli library for its interesting setting, but the rewatch reminded me of the synthy elements on the soundtrack...

So I'm looking for 2 types of recs:
-any other anime fairly similar to Nausicaa, with really unique alien worlds and settings?
-any 80's anime with awesome synth soundtracks? (Rumbler, this is your cue...)

Eva Rebuild talk.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Rambling theory time Shinji in 3.0 is a clone Shinji. The original one was rescued 14 years ago but still somehow caused an actual Third Impact later on. Maybe he died in the process, but Eva 01 was still around, and we know clones and evas go together like PB & Rei.

The Kaworu scene at the end of 1.0 was a flash-forward. Not sure when though. Yeah the giant may eventually be the Eva 06 he pilots at the end of 2.0 but maybe not.

I'm becoming less convinced of the sequel theory for Rebuild the more I think about it, but I'm still overall neutral on it.

Char has this rare medical condition where his swag is so past legal and healthy limits that he has to change his whole shit up every couple years. Full Frontal isn't Char, I think he was one of those not a clone clones but played it up because he knew how legendary Char was.

So I'm reading up on Gundam.

https://adtrwiki.com/index.php?title=Quattro_Bajeena
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Full_Frontal

The fuck is with these names? Is it just Char??

(https://i.postimg.cc/RVdkHQ21/32-C05-A47-0-A1-D-4-D9-A-B61-E-C9-C7256-B7-C36.jpg)
That's from my copy of the official Char's Counterattack Playstation 1 video game guide/artbook.

Gundam has weird names. It's based on Tomino's idea that things (like names) would change and become a strange mishmash of languages and cultures when humanity moved to space.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cbu9_dVW8AA97Pb.jpg)

And pretty much every single Gundam show has a masked villain as an homage to Char.

The voice actor who plays Char even shows up in Gundam SEED Destiny as the main bad guy. And the guy who voices Amuro Ray did the bad guy in season 2 of Gundam OO.

Quote from: Tasty Meat on November 07, 2018, 12:41:56 PM
Apparently Full Frontal is "half of Char's soul," whatever that means.

He's a Cyber Newtype clone of Char that had memories implanted from the information found in the Sazabi's psychoframe recovered at the site Axis from CCA. He's not Char but he thinks he is.

So yeah, typical clear as mud Gundam canon.

Watched a number of episodes of Megalo Box.

I probably don't like that anime as much as others do but I do love that throwback art look it has. Super Cool. Especially for somebody who grew up on the old stuff. Music is nice too.

Been busy so haven't had time to watch much anime recently. Finished this one though My original take was my finishing take. It's good but not great. Great music though. If they do a second season cool. If they don't it wouldn't bother me also.

This reminded me to check and see what Gantz creator Hiroya Oku has been up to since Inuyashiki ended last year.  His new manga is "Gigant"- This story is about a teenager whose dad is a film producer.  He wants to be a director and also has a literal hard-on for this porn actress he's obsessed with.  He buys all her videos and spends way too much time with them.  It then just so happens that she lives nearby and he meets her and becomes friends with her.  But this is Oku, so let's make this more fucked up with aliens and shit.  The girl ends up getting this dial attached her arm that she can use to change her size.  Initially this is used to make her huge and then produce fetish porn out of it.  :lol  But then she uses it to beat up her abusive boyfriend, he leaves and she starts dating the main character (after he cries like a little bitch in public when she says she'd rather be friends), screws him (it's noted that he's under-age :cop), and then time for a real dose of Gantz-like fuckery as a website pops up where whatever is voted on happens for realz, so when a giant monster appears and starts destroying the city, porn chick turns into naked big-tittied Ultra(wo)man and starts fighting him while everyone gets glimpses of her naughty bits.

Reportedly Oku wanted to try hard to make something more fucked up than Gantz was.  I think he may have succeeded.   :lol

However, in early 2004 the girls of t.A.T.u. broke their contract with their manager Ivan Shapovalov, who confessed to basing the act's duo off of child pornography sites. Along with the contract split, the movie ended up being shelved and its website was deleted in 2005.

Watched the first episode of Hero=Mask, it's pretty good. Some dramatic crime stuff mixed in with some weird anime supernatural stuff. Pretty well-made overall, better than most anime.

One of my movie groups I'm in was going to see Mamoru Hosoda's new film "Mirai" in the theater tonight so I made an effort to escape work and see it. I mean hey Girl who Leapt Through Time was pretty good outside that terrible ending and Summer Wars was a ton of fun.

Knew nothing about this, and uhhhhh, this is the most kiddy film I have ever watched as an adult :lol
There are exactly 2 target audiences for this film. 30-something/early 40-something parents & little kids aged 10 and under.

It was alright but as someone not in that target audience it was kinda dull. One of the gals in my group fell asleep lol. Like it has a nice little lesson and the concept of a story about different generations of a FAMILY seen through the eyes of like a 4 year old kid is neat, but the execution is just kinda average. You can definitely tell watching it that the movie was made because Hosoda's a dad with young kids and he wanted to make a movie about being a dad with young kids. There was even a little interview after the movie with Hosoda where he basically said the story is based off him, his kids and his family.

Also the music was strangely disappointing for the type of Ghibli/melodramatic film it is. Not everyone can be Joe Hisaishi or Radwimps I guess.

I guess I'd give it like a B-, but if you're a 30/40 something parent with young kid(s), go see it!


Not sure if anime movies should go in the anime thread so will cross-post this.

So finished up the original show and the movie. About 10 episodes into Brotherhood. After having watched one fully and the other a bit more, I can say that I prefer Brotherhood. Original is fun enough and certainly has interesting plot points and characters but it also has a number of flaws.

1.) In the original character constantly have important crucial information they decide not to share with allies for drama reasons. It's very frustrating. One early example is the initial conflict between Ed and Al over Al's nature over whether he is real. The ways its handled in the original doesn't make sense and is strictly done to create a drama episode for no good reason. It's handled in like half an episode in Brotherhood in a more logical and heartfelt manner. This happens alot in the original. Like it became a running joke for me to yell at the screen Tell somebody!

2.) The plotting in the original often doesn't make sense. Like they know where they want to go from Plot Point A to Plot Point B but the path in between  often makes no sense or once again seems delayed to create drama sakes. So Instead of being able to enjoy the journey, I was constantly yelling for characters to act more sensibly.

3.) This isn't really a flaw but more a pet peeve of mine. But as I grow older, I'm less interested in a plot mechanic where the bad guys have all the knowledge. And the good guys have no knowledge and therefore seem like idiots bumbling around in the dark for most of the show. This is a pretty common plot device and if everything else is working in a show, I won't gripe about it, but when I have issues with other parts of the show, I start to find this device grating as you feel like you are just waiting for the heroes to catch up to knowledge you have had for like 20 or 30 episodes.

So yeah I think that's about it. I like original FMA but it wouldn't come close to cracking a top ten of anime for me personally. I'll finish up brotherhood at some point and post some thoughts about that.

Finished up Brotherhood finally and yeah I much prefer it over the original. It makes more sense. It has a general better sense of pacing. There are a lot of fun moments with the side characters. Really good anime. The ending mechanically is a little clunky but emotional wise it makes sense and delivers well enough. Solid anime.

Shadowskill and it's ovas are c-tier anime so you basically have to open your wallet or be pirate scum to watch it. The OVAs are easy to find, MANGA Ent had them for awhile and they were pretty common if you're really about that life. I think Pioneer/Geneon had the rights to the tv series? I love this shit but even I haven't seen the entire tv series (I've seen like 16 or the 24-26 episodes tho so im still a G)

Double Decker's final episode came out this past week.  That was a really fun series!  My only complaint is that it kind of moves at a leisurely pace, spends episodes focusing on other characters, and then in the last three episodes it's as if someone went "OH SHIT WE'RE OUT OF TIME" and the plot shifts into overdrive with a ton of stuff suddenly happening all at once.  Maybe they thought they were going to get 26 episodes or something.

Watched the Lupin The Third 50th Anniversary Special last night- it appears to have been made between the 4th and 5th seasons(?).  It's this kinda-sorta remake of the very first episode of Lupin, from the last 70s, that then changes as Lupin gets sent to various eras from previous anime seasons.  It probably would have helped if I had watched it all, because I had no idea what was going on.  :lol  Still fun to watch though!

Was going to move onto Goemon Ishikawa's Fountain Of Blood next, but just found out that it's the second OVA in a series following The Fujiko Mine anime series and that there's a Jigen Daisuke OVA that came out first, so downloading that now.  I watched a bit of the Goemon one and it's super-violent, which is weird for Lupin.

AFAIK these OVAs and the 50th special are only available fansubbed.

Just finished up High Score Girl. Love how it progresses through the years and you see what's been going on in the game scene during that time, brought back so much nostalgia from those days. A few parts get a bit over-the-top anime but that's to be expected in a show like this. I like the butler guy haha

Hoping they somehow end the story, but I need to read through the manga anyway.  Apparently what the anime showed was about half of the total story.

I love it but if I had one complaint it's that I wish Yaguchi had interests besides games. He feels like a complete loser and it makes you wonder why he's got two girls fighting over him.

I finished the anime last night and continued reading the manga and it really enflames my competitors spirit. I played some fighting games on fightcade immediately after watching, took notes on what I need to improve on. Then did a run of Final Fight. I still can't believe something like this exists. It's like it was made just for people like myself. I fucking love it and it's the most enjoyable anime/manga I've read in years.

I caught up with the manga translated in english and reading the rest that are raw. No need to post spoilers. The anime should have a second season rather than 3 ep ova. Unless the ova eps are 1 hour long, it's not enough to cover the rest of the story.

That's what everyone wants to know.  Maybe they'll end up cutting out a bunch of stuff...or maybe it will be something original and then the OVAs end with the announcement of a season two.  Am just happy to get more of this show!

Finally got caught up on That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and I really like it. I could see bumping it up a little higher on my list, if I felt like going back and editing it [which I don't]. I watched about half of Goblin Slayer but I'm just kinda meh about it, it's got some decent stuff but none of it really grabs me that much. Slime is quite a bit better, and actually fun to watch and not rape-y. Also, Rimiru is the best MC of the season, it's true and you know it.

Keep seeing clips from this show popping up as little memes lately and wanted to know what it was.

It's a gag series called Plastic Nee-San!  About a trio of students in a plastic model building club.  Has some pretty stupid/funny little jokes.

Each episode is only a a few minutes long.  Here's the whole thing:

Yeah- I said the same thing!  :lol  We talked about it a bit a page or two back, IIRC.

Jigen's Gravestone came out before Goemon Ishikawa's Spray of Blood did.  Both are "sequels" to The Woman Called Fujiko Mine TV series and use a similar art style.

Then between Lupin III Part IV and Part V there was a 50th Anniversary OVA made.  It came out after Part V started IIRC and I was only able to find a DVD rip fansubbed.

Yup.  The related series/OVAs are Fujiko Mine -> Jigen -> Goemon and Part 4 -> 50th OVA -> Part 5.   I went back and forth between 4 and 5 (as it aired) and liked 4 a lot more, but 5 is still fun.  Same staff IIRC.

Dunno about a new TV series this year.  Just an OVA.

isekai is a term new anime fans use to describe thier new garbage. And is just another thing that modern anime fans like to use to make thier fandom special. Like using cour for season.

Also Escaflowne sure dosen't follow those wish fulfillment troupes common in that type of anime.

So no, I'm not going to acknowledge this wave of anime following SAO.

The subgenre can be characterized as wish fulfillment, with the person being transported often being a NEET, hikikomori, or gamer. In the new fantasy world, they are able to succeed through use of their comparatively unimportant-in-real-life genre knowledge, or gaming skills through the use of a game interface only they can access.[1][2] Their power can range from tremendous magical abilities surpassing anyone else, as in In Another World With My Smartphone,[1] to relatively weak, as in Re:Zero, where the protagonist does not gain any special power beyond the ability to survive death in a type of temporal loop.[3]

While the protagonist of an isekai work is usually a "chosen hero", the genre was also subverted by Drifters, where the people entering the fantasy world are historical generals and other warriors who are more brutal than the inhabitants of the world themselves,[4] and in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, where the protagonist starts as a bloblike monster with special abilities rather than a human.[5] Some stories involve people being reincarnated as unusual inanimate objects, like a magical onsen.[6]

...

It's nice not being aware of all this new bullshit anime terminology. I just think of isekai as the actual word's meaning.

It's nice not being aware of all this new bullshit anime terminology. I just think of isekai as the actual word's meaning.

The "person from the real world transported to a fantasy world" is an old trope [see: The Wizard of Oz], but usually people are talking about a very specific subgenre of that when they say "isekai" and it's one that takes place in an actual game world [Sword Art Online, Log Horizon, Dot Hack] or a fantasy world with a lot of game elements [Rising of the Shield Hero, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime]. Which is why Rahx was resistant to the idea of calling Escaflowne an isekai anime, it's missing a lot of the tropes that the recent crop of anime have in them.

The word gets thrown around a lot in the anime community because it happens to be very popular right now, thanks largely to SAO.

Boogiepop and Others is the show to watch this season. Since it's based on a book series that started in the late-90s [and had an anime adaptation in 2000, which I liked but didn't love [Serial Experiments Lain was much better]] it has the feel of that era and that era of anime in droves. Lots of washed-out colors, a dark and moody feel, a high-school setting devoid of the usual hijinks, and a casual association with sudden and brutal violence. The first episode really only establishes and explains the Boogiepop character, so not a lot happens, but it starts to move in the next episode and really gets good [though still maintains a deliberate pace].

Watched the first episode of Dororo, seems pretty dece. I’m not familiar with the source material, but the anime itself has kind of a retro vibe (i.e. no modern tropes). Dororo is definitely a girl tho, just saying. I’m not even sure if we’re supposed to believe that she isn’t.

Dragonball Super: Broly-

This movie is really two stories in one- the beginning is an adaption of the Dragonball prequel manga story about the Saiyajins before their planet gets blown up.  Pretty much all dialogue and plot development here.  It retcons some things about their history and basically erases the Bardock OVA's story while bringing some of the story from the original Broly movie into canon.

Once things flash forward to the present, there's not really a whole lot going on here plot-wise.  Freeza finds Broly and brings him to earth and then Broly fights Vegeta and Goku...and that's it.  It turns into one giant, insanely-long fight.  There's some impressive animation in here, but Dragonball fights are usually kind of spastic and all over the place, so if you enjoy that, you'll like this- otherwise you're going to be bored out of your mind.  Just not a lot of plot to speak of past the prequel stuff in the beginning, unfortunately.

Spoiler-talk:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
-I really like humorous slant on Dragonball-hunting- Bulma wants them to make herself look younger...and Freeza wants them so he can make himself look taller.  :lol

-What the hell was with the huge lack of characters?  So many characters didn't even get a cameo here.

-There's one point in the movie where Goku teleports himself and Vegeta out of the fight to go talk to Piccolo.  They leave Bulma behind.  WTF LMAO.  :lol

Ending spoiler-talk:

-Despite how much FIGHT DURRRRRRRRRRRR Broly is, they actually did a pretty good job with beginning to give him a bit of personality.  Nice touch ending the movie with him as an ally instead of an enemy.

Based on the Linux operating system variant Ubuntu, this "slapstick school comedy," three high school students — the fervent UNIX user and club president Akane Kisaragi, the hardcore gal-game otaku vice-president Masato Midou, and the doujinshi-drawing Mac fan Risa Shiina — are learning how to use Ubuntu in their systems adminstration club.

The new year has only just gotten started, but we've already got two strong contenders for MOST TOXIC ANIME OF 2018!!

First off, there's the hot new isekai series: Rising of the Shield Hero, about a mild-mannered otaku who is sucked into a fantasy world and must fight to save it from an encroaching evil. Unfortunately, he is promptly accused of rape by an evil seductress! Also, it turns out that she only did that to score points with one of the other heroes, a cool hottie. Now, that alone would be enough to nab the trophy in a normal year, but this is 2019, baybee! Since the entire kingdom hates his guts, he is forced to buy a slave girl to be in his party and fight for him. Except that it's okay, because it turns out that he's nice to her and protects her. The hero eventually gets called out for this, but the budding love between a 20-something otaku and his beast-girl slave eventually wins out. Everyone learns a lesson about how slavery actually isn't that bad and also sex-obsessed sloots are not to be trusted.

That brings us to next in a long line of magical girl sad-em-ups: Magical Girl Spec-Ops: Asuka. Several years ago, Asuka lead a group of magical girls in their quest to save the world from killer plush animals, but now she must come out of retirement to face a new thread: INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM! Things get started off right by having terrorist blindly fire into a group of civilians in order to cover for the escape of their captured leader. Fortunately, Asuka [still dealing with PTSD, but also up for kicking some butt] happens to be in the area and slaughters the whole lot of them, except for the leader who just gets his legs chopped off. He gets turned over to the police, who promptly get to work on him at a CIA blacksite. I could bore you with all the "blah blah blah power of friendship" and whatever that happens for a while, but anyway, eventually, one of the main non-magical girls gets kidnapped. Episode 4 spends about a third of its time on the various ways in which she is brutally tortured [it's also implied that they intend to cannibalize her later, just so you know how evil these guys are], forcing the good guys to torture some information out of the terrorist leader they capture in episode 1 [this is presented as a good and necessary thing, of course]. Also, it has magical Russian mercenaries. That doesn't really have anything to do with it being toxic, but I thought I'd bring it up.

Both series are currently streaming on Crunchyroll (https://www.crunchyroll.com/)

Is this one really causing meltdowns or was it just that comicbook.com article?  Watched the first episode yesterday- the claim of "OMG THIS SHOW PROMOTES RAPE!!!!!" is...no.  LOL, NO.  It clearly establishes that the woman is manipulating him and trying to fuck him over, to the point that it's almost expected when she says he tried to sexually assault her and we get a clear shot of her sticking her tongue out at him with a "gotcha!" message after he realizes she has played him and taken all his stuff.  No "ALL WIMMENZ R BAD" either...just "I got played and she's an asshole and maybe that other hero guy was in cahoots and is an asshole too."  OK.

The slave thing might be a problem, but I dunno since that's all at the very end.  Like...does he call the girl he buys a slave and treat her like shit?  Doesn't seem like it from the previews. 

:idont

As for the show itself- seems interesting enough because of the main character basically being shit on, but not being a whiny bitch and instead manning the fuck up and doing whatever he can to get by.  Points for not having it start with the main character dying and popping up in another world.  Also like the idea that all four Japanese dudes who go to the other world are actually from alternate Japans/timelines.  BOOOOO to having a random Sword Art Online-style "PC interface" thing that they can see to check stats and shit.  What the fuck?  :lol  LOL at the main character having no offense, but realizing he feels no pain so he just has the little balloon monsters attached to him and can take them out and throw them at people.  Double-LOL at one of the other heroes apparently being voiced by SAO's Kirito VA.

He does treat her nice and "like a daughter," but she's still magically enslaved to him with a spell that electrocutes her if she doesn't follow his orders. The show does a lot of heavy lifting to make this seem like not actually a bad thing.

No Re, though, some parts of the show aren't too bad.

Boogiepop 2019 is only 7 episodes into an 18-episode run and I'm already feeling incredibly sad that it only has 11 episodes left. I'm stunned that this exists as a TV anime in the year of our Lord 2019. Anime like this just doesn't get made, not anymore. And yet here it is: a series about teenagers dealing with complex emotions, caught up in a war between cosmic supernatural entities, told in the most chronologically dissonant way, with washed out colors, a somber tone, and no animu hijinks. In a way it reminds me of Flowers of Evil, with how it's so much different from everything else coming out of the modern industry.

I love it.

Parts 1-6 are all related:

Part 1 is about Jonathan and Dio
Part 2 is Jonathan's grandson, Joseph, fighting vampires (part one leads into this)
Part 3 is Joseph's grandson, Jotaro, and Joseph fighting Dio and introduces stands
Part 4 is about Joseph's bastard son fighting stands created by the weapon Dio had and a serial killer in a small town
Part 5 is about Dio's bastard son (who is also kind of a Joestar for spoiler reasons) in Italy
Part 6 is about Jotaro's daughter, Joleyne, fighting remnants of Dio's followers in jail

If you're on the original and not feeling it, keep going- it's the shortest and ends at like episode 9 IIRC.  Part two with young Joseph is where it gets awesome.

Part 7 is where it's unrelated- it kind of starts over with an alternate take on everything with new versions of Zepelli and Johnny Joestar in late 1800s USA taking part in a big cross-country race.  Still has stands.  Then Part 8 is a completely different take on part 4, IIRC.

I don't see how Jojo is confusing at all. It has a continuity. Part 1 is like 10 eps then it goes to part 2. It's pretty simple. Less confusing than say, DC or Marvel continuity.

Almost all the JoJo's I know is from the anime version.  Planning to read part 7 though.  Maybe 6. 

I don't think part 5 is as good as 2-4 were, but it's still pretty good.  Likewise I didn't think that part 4 was good as part 3 but still really liked it.  6 (Stone Prison) sounds like it might be more my thing from the plot description but we'll see.

It's a bit of both. Some of the episode are all new content and some are remakes of episodes from the previous series.

On the whole, the new series just isn't that good, though. The stories they remade were told better in the original, the new stories are mostly less interesting outside of one or two, the direction is more utilitarian, the writing is weaker, and some of the characterization goes in weird directions.

So just finished watching the first series. Good call there, the second part was much more enjoyable with Jojo being a lot more likeable than Jonathon. Must be one of the only few series I can recall where Nazis play a role as the good guys too.

That's a weird flex, but I'm alright with it. And it looks more like the next Kids on the Slope than the next Cowboy Bebop, which is fine because Kids on the Slope was really good.

Watched about 6 or 7 episodes of Mob Psycho 100 season 1.

I can't tell if I like it or not which is interesting in and of itself. I mean it definitely feels like its doing something slightly different than other anime but I don't really understand the point of it yet...

I'll comment again after I finish the first season.

Finished up the first season. By the time it was over I liked it. That writer does an interesting thing where he undercuts the moment which works really well. Instead of how most of these anime's are really a build up of a badass to an ultimate level, he always focuses on the human side which serves to ground the whole thing in a way that most anime often fails at. Same as in one punch man. You can feel the similarities since he does both. He is less interested in just showing a badass versus playing with how it feels to be an actual person in the context of these kind of escapist power fantasies. The final confrontation is wonderfully done.

The second season of this has just been on another level. Just terrific.

Dororo is getting pretty interesting now, is it a normal 13 ep series or a longer one? It would be a bit unsatisfying if the next ep or two end up being the climax for this season. Also can't tell if I hate the OP song or like it. The wailing is a bit annoying, but that guitar riff is pretty bad ass when it kicks in.

Are you sure? They cut down the number of demons from 50 to like 13. Figured it was confirmed 13 ep series.

It's more like anime is made on a shoe-string budget these days and animators only make just enough money to avoid starving to death.

And endless pandering to Japanese otaku with disposable income.

It's this.  Who spends money on ridiculously-priced Japanese DVD/blu-ray releases?  Otaku.  Who happily drains their bank accounts to get whatever "character goods" and bedsheets and whatever other stuff they can get their hands on?  Otaku.  That's why you have so many harem shows and mindless-pervy shit being produced now.  It's just part of the money-making machine.

Wasn't the first one one of the biggest anime sensations in ages or was that just in the west? Why does this one look so shit in comparison? I get Madhouse might have been already booked for years or had some other problem. But did they have to go with some shitty cheap ass rom-com/issekai show tier animation team?

The only reason otaku spend on anime is because they’re the only ones catered to. It’s a double edge sword: anime is made for otaku because they buy merch so that forces companies to pander to otaku tastes, but pandering to otaku makes anime that appeals to otaku only.

Just watched all three episodes of High School Girl: Extra Stage.

They didn't try to cover the rest of the story and instead just focused on what happens right after episode 12 of the TV series left off.  Thought it ended on a good note and I hope they end up making another season that covers what's left.

If it's like most anime, they blew the entire production budget on the first episode. By the time they got around to the extra OVA episodes, they're probably paying their employees in ramen flavor packets.

I don't know if incoherent is what I'd use to describe Utena, because it dosen't really matter. The show's story and themes are quite easy to understand. It's not complex. It's a story about adolesence and becoming realistic about the world, but it's just told in a abstract fantasy story by way of anime magical girl show.

It's pretty good, but I feel if your past a certain age it may be too late to really dig it.

Great music and a great lead though.

I tried to give the last HxH anime series a chance, but I just can't get over the fact that it looks worse than the original series from the 90s. Not even comparing to the OVAs, just the main series and it still looks worse. Also the scenario planning is a bit different, both from the old anime series and even the manga. At the same time I can't bring myself to bother with the manga because once Togashi's back issues started the drawing in the series starts looking like doodles. At this point I'm just waiting on a new anime series which I read rumours on /a/ might be another reboot.

Just finished watching JoJo Star Crusaders Battle in Egypt. Damn it was good. Star Crusader was alright but felt a bit slow, so when I saw that they had dedicated another whole 25ep just for Egypt I was apprehensive. But BiE had a much faster flow which made it a breeze to get through. Jotaro was one of the most bad ass characters in any anime, but they may have made him too OP at the end which is one of the few blemish on the series.

They've got some older stuff: Arcadia of My Youth, Galaxy Express 999, Lily Cat, Night on the Galactic Railroad, Dallos, Blue Submarine No. 6, Iria: Zeiram the Animation, and Goku: Midnight Eye.

And some of the new/new-ish stuff that's worth watching: Made in Abyss, Darker than Black, Spice and Wolf, Girls' Last Tour, Land of the Lustrous, Inuyashiki: Last Hero, and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.

Watched it also. I know people are going to bitch about the animation and such and I'm not saying they don't have a right to, but that stuff never really bothers me. I can appreciate great animation and I can tolerate less great animation.

The problem for me is that after the initial arc one punch man was never as interesting. I think its a kind of limited (albeit great) premise. I have a hard time understanding how they will be able to make this part of the anime as compelling as the first part was, because the manga sure wasn't.

Watching JoJo: Diamond is Unbreakable and I don't know why but this Koichi character really annoys me. It almost ruins an episode for me if it looks like he'll be starring prominently. Besides his stupid design, even by this series's standards, I think what really annoys me is that he seems to narrate every scene that we just saw happen. In comic form it's probably fine since the panels flow smoothly, but in animation form it gets pretty irritating having to hear him recap for 5 second every development that just took place. Also now that I've noticed his character doesn't have a properly drawn nose, unlike the rest of the main cast, I can't help but notice it every time he is on screen.

Outside of that the series seems pretty fine 15 episodes in. It still doesn't seem to have established any overarching story elements concerning main villains etc, but it seems to be slowly getting there. I'd probably be more into this series if I hadn't googled a Jotaro figuring someone posted here or on some other board, some gimp dropped what seemed to be a major story spoiler in the title of his video which appeared as one of the first results on google.

Sarazanmai is an anime, in part, about the mythological Japanese creature kappa. Kappa are weird turtle things that are believed to steal a mythical organ from people's anuses, and if you think that this isn't front and center in the anime then clearly you underestimate the madness of The Master, Ikuhara-sama. There's also cross-dressing, gay cops, in-door weed farms, and high disturbing transformation sequences.

Also, the ending theme absolutely slaps:

Someone is fan-translating the manga and I've read the few chapters available- it's like Sword Art Online in that they're in a VR MMORPG world, but are doing so willingly.  It's billed as some kind of experiment thing where a parent and child go in together, but so far they've only had just the main mom- she's a much stronger fighter than her son and the magic girl on the left.

First BotI anime was terrible, hopefully this one is solid. Still need to finish the manga. Im like a lot of ppl and gave up during that long torture/prison arc. Shit lasted years and then one day Samura just decided to end it all I guess lol. His other projects are cool though. Not a bad career for a guy who basically makes violent smut (if you haven't and curious look up his earlier works bless up)

Title: Re: Anime-Bore |OT| - Jojo's Enigmatic Adventure
Post by: Himu on June 04, 2019, 06:11:29 PM
As a Buddhist story the story is top tier. Already knowing Tezuka's identity as a Buddhist given the manga Buddha helps strengthen the story further.

Nearly every story or plot line is relation to the Buddhist Four Noble Truths:

1. Life is suffering
2. Suffering is due to desire
3. The cure to suffering is letting go of that desire
4. We can find ways to avoid suffering by going through the eightfold path

Every storyline has to do with desire: the story originally starts of a land ravaged by famine and Daigo's desire to help his people live better and does so by sacrificing his own child to demons. In order for the land of Daigo to have riches and happiness, they must coerce with demons, changing the natural state of permanence. Hyakkimaru searches for his body and loses himself the more he kills. The more he desires his body the more he becomes something non-human. Yet everything is impermanent. The land of Daigo must go through hardship eventually because that's the natural state of the world. Hyakkimaru must realize that his body is impertinent. If they let go of their desire to change the order of things, they would be able to live in earnest. Instead, they're consumed by their own inherent desire they're willing to let go of their own humanity and have brother kill brother, father kill son.

Even the side characters deal with this Buddhist theme. Itachi, the various town folk, it all fits.

The writing is so top notch and fit within the Buddhist narrative lock and key.

The only fitting ending I can possibly see is Hyakkimaru let go of his desire for his body, lest he save his humanity. I think he and Dororo will help the poor and people of Daigo by giving away Dororo's money and live a life of servitude, humility, finally obtaining the fourth noble truth.

There is a wild card in the story and that's the statue. If I'm correct, that statue is Guan Yin, the Bodhisattva of compassion. Without compassion, this story can only lead in blood shed though.

Classic story. Can't wait to see how it all resolves.

Next ep preview looks hype af.

It's the first part with stands and a lot of people think it's the best one.  I still prefer part two over everything else.  But collectively, I think parts 1-3 are the best as they tell a large, connected story.  4 and 5 are good but it's basically more of the same thing with weekly "WHAT KIND OF STAND IS THIS NOW?!?!" battles over and over again.  It does generally stay pretty creative, though.  4-6 are tied to the first three parts too, but basically come off as "the remnants of shit that Dio did."  :lol

Am looking forward to when they get to part seven, since it's like a reset and takes place in the late 1800s again.

A lot of hardcore Jojo fans I've run into call it weak compared to parts 2 and 4 where I find myself disagreeing.

Jotaro and 1980's Dio are easily the most iconic Jojo characters though. When I think of Jojo I think of part 3. Jojo honestly should have ended after part 3, my opinion.

I don't think you're wrong here, but I'm also glad it continued, because parts 4 and 5 have been a lot of fun.  The only one I wonder about is the current part, 8, which is a weird-ish alternate reality retelling (sort of) of part 4.  It just sounds...bizarre from the synopsis, but it is called "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," so I guess it fits.  :lol

I never really got a "sukeban" vibe from Ryuko in Kill La Kill, especially with the short skirt and all the almost-nudity.  :doge  She's not rebelling against the school so much as the government/power that runs the whole place.  But there are some obvious nods to Sukeban Deka (unsure if it's iconic for the red gloves and whatnot, assuming it is) in the outfit design.

I heard great things about Part 7 but it comes from the same people who overhyped part 4 but shat on Part 5 so who knows.

The premise sounds great, though- a big 19th century cross-country race with lots of fuckery.

I keep waffling over reading the manga (starting with part 6) or just waiting for the anime version.  They do such a great job with the show that I'll watch regardless.

KLK would be good if ever ep didn't have to deal with the character being half naked in some shape or fashion. The idea is great, but it's a classic case of embarrassing anime and anime fans excusing awfulness.

A cool revenge story turns into something about a girl that finds a cool sword but the sword turns into a skimpy outfit. Ok. The lengths anime fans go to justify fan service is gross. KLK could have been a cool action show. Instead it’s a show targeted at otaku so they can buy things like this.

Then they wonder why people think they’re weird, some how justify it and aren't embarrassed by what they're watching.

Narratively appropriate.

Trash.

Only an anime fan could ever watch something like KLK and not be embarrassed.

The fact that show was heralded as that good by such a large portion of anime fans marked a very, very good time to bow out of the hobby. Anime fans have always had low standards for what's good, and it was always a medium best where you where sought out people with similarly minded tastes so you could feed off each other and find suggestions, but Jesus Christ Kill La Kill might be anime's jump shark moment.

Jojo part 5 is a lot more fun when you're watching it as a weekly series as opposed to marathoning a bunch of chapters of the manga. I think I read it all in a couple days and it gets suuuuuper repetitive after a while.

how do you hate fanservice but love gurren lagann?

I haven't seen GL in over a decade, but to my memory the fan service is considerably less than KLK. I could be wrong, but I have a very low tolerance for fan service, even then. I've hated fan service as far back as shows like Green Green and Onegai Twins were on air. Either it didn't have as much as KLK or it was to the point where I liked enough about it that I was able to ignore it. But again, I don't recall fanservice being nearly as in your face as in KLK. I could certainly be wrong, however.

Don't think it was as much as KLK (only watched a couple of episodes of that one) but just look at yoko's design

Idk the whole argument's so played out, we all have heard it a hundred times before, can't we just fap or not fap to anime titties in peace?

This is barely "fan service" and I'm pretty sure it's an homage to Go Nagai.  It's filled with stuff like that.

KLK into the dumpster. Show is trash and failed the 5 ep test.

You only saw five episodes?  That explains it, I guess.  It's satirical and "nudity" itself is actually a focus of the plot.  There's fanservice on the dudes, too.  You have to wait until later in the story to see all this stuff for a reason.

GL has Yoko and some fanservice, but it feels tame. Mostly as a joke and yeah to sell stuff, but it never really gets in the way.

Kill La Kill had a lot of fanservice, which was all over the place. From tacky, to jokey. Yeah only an anime fan could probably find it not embarrassing. Fun show, but also pretty trashy when it comes to fanservice.

But in it's defense. I don't think it was supposed to be arousing. Like I'm sure some people will find it arousing and will probably buy things based on that. The companies behind it probably wanted that, but the creators seemed to put it in there because the show's tone was ridiculous.  I don't know, it's not a show where I felt they wanted me to think the MC was my ultimate waifu.

I'mma keep it real and say I never could enjoy reading any Jojo. it's why I didn't get into the series till the anime started.

The anime version of 5 cleans up some of the issues the manga had along with it being paced better. I'm liking it more than when I initially read it.

Looking forward to how they handle part 6.

Isn't their new thing basically a mix of klk nudity fanservice with gl mechs too? The least horny thing they've done is little witch academia and sss.gridman and gridman still had a chick that was thicc and became a meme

Fanservice actually isn't as big a part of Trigger's stuff as you might think, it's mostly KLK [and Darling in the Franxx and Ninja Slayer to a slightly smaller degree]. When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace, Space Patrol Luluco, Kiznaiver, Gridman, and Little Witch Academia are all pretty light on fanservice in comparison.

Promare [their lastest release], despite being made by the KLK team, doesn't seem like it's going to be too fanservice heavy either.

It has good action, lots of teary-eyed drama (with beloved characters eating it) and there's a gigantic ( :rimshot) mystery at the core. The art sucks, though, which is where the anime comes in and completes the package.

JoJo is the much bigger mystery to me.

MANGA DERAIL

The creator of Prison School has a new series called RaW Hero.  It's about a young guy with two little brothers and no parents.  He keeps trying to get jobs and rejected.  One day on the way to an interview, he sees a woman getting groped and yells at the groper.  They get off the train and the guy praises him for noticing and intervening, then reveals the woman is a pervert and it's consensual (this is dumb Prison-School-esque humor where the two are frequently doing shit to each other all over the place), then offers him a job as...a superhero?  We also see a superheroine pop up here and there. 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The guy's job is to then get hired at an evil organization, using notes and items found in a train station storage locker.  It's filled with stupid notes about a fake idol singer, along with a wig and clothes.  So he figures he has to disguise himself as a girl for the job.  It then cuts to the pervert boss and his secretary and he realizes that he gave the new guy the wrong case -that was meant for them to role play in- but somehow the new guy gets the job anyway and goes off to do some EVIL SHIT which ends up being trying to spraypaint "DIE" on a politician's house...but the paint is the wrong color.  The superheroine from earlier pops up and beats the shit out of one of the guys, who is about to die, but the new guy gives him CPR and revives him.  That guy then goes and stares off a bridge, happy to have been revived with his first kiss.

  Shit is crazy.  :lol 

I dunno if this is gonna match Prison School yet and it's really hard to see where the hell is going.

Didn’t like Dororo’s ending. Felt like it could use one more episode. The last two or so minutes are very rushed.

Anime director Mamoru Oshii announced more details for his new anime series during a press conference on Wednesday. The series is titled Vlad Love, with Oshii credited as creator and chief director, and Junji Nishimura (Ranma ½, You're Under Arrest: The Motion Picture, True Tears) as director. The new anime will be a slapstick comedy centering on a vampire girl named Mai and a high school girl. The anime will premiere in spring 2020, and will run for 12 episodes.

Oshii noted that the anime "won't have any handsome men (ikemen)," and its story will solely focus on five young girls. He added that he wanted to "seriously tackle a story centering on a girl-meets-girl concept," and teased that Mai "feels similar to Urusei Yatsura's Lum."

Thought Oshii gave up on anime, and deservedly? Why is he back after retiring from the medium? Most curious. He has very been open about his disdain for the industry and has stuck with live action to my knowledge.

Money and timing was probably right. I don't think his movies make any sort of wave outside of europe considering how weird they got:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btT2DdJ2BSQ

He's got another anime booked too outside of the Vlad thing. He's supposed to be adapting some japanese novel into a series of films I can't remember the name/dunno if that was cancelled.

I'm really glad that Oshii is getting back into anime, because his live-action movies [even the ones that are better regarded] just don't do much for me at all. Visuals aren't as good, acting isn't as strong, directing isn't as sharp; it's just such a noticeable step down from what he does with animation.

Yeah, I imagine he's doing pretty well for himself [he's been working regularly since his last anime project in 2008], but apparently he's been wanting to get back into anime for a few years now.

And this is his other project, which toku mentioned:

Absolute garbage but the bright side is there's only like 3 or 4 good things Macross related and two are licensed by Manga (Macross Plus and Macross II). Macross Frontier sucks, Macross Delta sucks. Pretty much everything Macross after Zero is garbage. Macross 7 also sucks but nerds on the internet will try to convince you otherwise occasionally. It has a handful of cool moments but it's trash.

Fuck Harmony Gold though and I know a lot of ppl were waiting on this shit to die especially since they're mainly a real estate developer now? Fucking sucks, modern copywright law is a scam.

Harmony Gold U.S.A. Inc. reported at its Anime Expo panel on Friday that it has renewed and extended its licensing agreements with Tatsunoko Production for The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, The Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada anime series "well into the future." If the agreements had not been renewed, Harmony Gold's licensing to these three series would have expired on March 14, 2021.

We will never get Macross subbed legally in America in our life times probably. The license extends 30 more years. Most of us are in our 30's.

For reference, HG butchered Macross and turned it into Robotech. They did the original SDF, and then they took two totally different anime series and called them the Robotech Saga when they aren't even related to SDF and created their own fan fiction story. Think how Super Mario Bros 2 used Doki Doki Panic as a template to create a Mario palette swap except for two anime series unrelated to Macross.

And they've been sitting on the Macross license and doing jack shit with it Now they've re-upped. Meanwhile people want actual SDF Macross on blu ray subbed free of Harmony Gold's bullshit.

I prefer Gundam as a franchise but SDF Macross is by far and away my favorite mecha tv series. It's an epic and I want it on blu.

Robotech helped anime become a thing in America so that's nice, but it's been beaten like a dead horse by HG over the last couple decades. The sad things is that their interactions with Tatsunoko have caused Big West/Nue to hate them and refuse to work with them, so we're unlikely to ever see 7, Zero (ADV almost got this released here on DVD, but then I'm sure BG/SN wised up and said no), Frontier, Delta, etc. localized here legally. Ever.

Also, HG is essentially squatting on a property they can't afford to remaster and is just hoping that they get lucky with their live action film deal with Sony.

I don't even hate Robotech. Like a lot of folks I grew up with it but it's insane that we can't have them both at this point. Especially since the brand is relatively dead like GR said. Everyone that really cares at this point is well into their 30s and fully up to speed on the franchise' roots/history and HG fuckery.

There was actually a great tweet when this news hit that was like "There are ppl in their 30s who prefer Robotech over Macross and even they fucking hate Harmony Gold too"

IIRC none of the installments since plus, (7, Zero, F, Delta) were released with subs on the JP dvds or blurays.

I guess this continues to give fansubbers something to do.

Supposedly there's more to it than just HG though, Big West, the main company involved in productions beyond the original, puts their thumb on the scale pretty hard and won't deal with HG at all.

Justin Sevakis, a ANN writer and 1 man (I think) BD authoring house had this to say on it:

I don't disagree, but there's definitely more nuance to the story than just "HG is preventing this from happening."

I would be immediately down for Macross 7 blurays.  I need them in my life.

Finished up One Punch season 2. Yeah the problem for me wasn't the animation. It was simply that one punch man has less directions to go the further you go along unless you do something really inventive. One punch man isn't like DragonBall or something where you can milk it forever with the superman hero fantasy. One Punch is a satire of that kind of thing. So when it ends up overly feeling like the thing it is satirizing, you know its time to stop. Season 2 wasn't incredibly painful to watch or anything. There are fun moments. And funny moments. But the freshness you felt when you first were introduced to the anime/manga is almost completely missing.

Mob Psycho uses a lot of the themes of one punch man but simply has more room to grow and better relationships to explore by comparison.

Watched the first season of Aggretsuko which was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. Very funny show.

I watched the first episode so far. It's pretty good. First few minutes [after the cold opening] kinda threw me a bit, but once they finally got into space and stuff started happening I really got into it.

I’ll give it another chance. If the shows fanservice is supposed to be satire how should I watch KLK? Any suggestions on enjoying it more?

I mean, the fanservice is there and you're either gonna like or not like it, regardless of how the series tries to justify its inclusion. Watch the show as a crazy, over-the-top action series that [despite taking itself a bit too seriously sometimes] generally doesn't take itself too seriously and just wants to be as wild as it can be.

Some crazy person set a fire at KyoAni's studio [30 people injured, "multiple" deaths]:

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-07-17/fire-breaks-out-in-kyoto-animation-1st-studio-building/.149097

Started rewatching Crest of the Stars because I needed some cool outer space scifi stuff in my life. Just about the whole thing still holds up really well: unique concept that very few others shows have done since, great orchestral soundtrack, fun relatable characters, engaging story. Some of the animation hasn't held up too well since it came out early in the digital animation era, so you can expect some really jank CG and video effects. On the other hand, I watched this probably about 17-18 years ago [on TechTV, of all places], so I got a soft spot for that jankiness.

Vampire Hunter D is one of the most famous Japanese horror franchises in the world. Based on a series of light novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano, the series has spawned numerous anime and multimedia adaptations  that have brought this post-apocalyptic world to life.

At this year's Anime Expo, the first trailer for Gibiate, Amano's next anime, debuted and introduced the world to a new post-apocalyptic, monster-filled landscape. Now, CBR is going to break down everything we know about this upcoming series, which is set to be released in 2020.

In Japan, 2030, the Gibia virus has infected many humans across the globe. Gibia's victims turn into different forms of animal-shaped monsters, with their final form depending on the age, sex and race of the infected. At the same time, two samurai and a ninja from the Edo period of Japanese history time travel to this apocalyptic landscape.

They start to work together with a pair of modern researchers who are trying to find the cure for Gibia. Their journey will not be an easy one, as they will be attacked on every step of the way by the infected Gibia and by outlaws desperate for food.

Some thoughts on the new shows this season:

Fire Force - Interesting story concept [spontaneous human combustion is a very serious problem] paired with some really nice animation. The characters are fun enough, though they're not too different from what you'll find in most shounen series. Ep. 3 was postponed after the KyoAni fire, no word yet on when it'll start back up.

Vinland Saga - We're in the era of Vikings being cool but this series is about real Vikings, none of that fantasy nonsense. This is another series with some really good animation, but it doesn't let the action overwhelm its characters. Also, war is pretty not cool.

How Heavy are the Dumbbells You Lift? - You got fanservice and you got weight training information. Look, you already know whether you want to watch this show are not, you don't need me to convince you.

Mom Isekai - First episode was amusing, second episode laid the fanservice on thick. Yeet that into the trash and move on.

Lord El-Melloi II Case Files - A spinoff of the large and unwieldy Fate franchise, with a focus on mystery solving rather than epic magic fights. I haven't watched much of the Fate series, though I am aware of the basics, but this is a pretty fun show to watch on its own merits.

Astra Lost in Space - A group of high school kids on an outing to another planet get sucked into a miniature wormhole and spit out into space many lightyears from Earth. Survival against long odds in unfamiliar environments and learning to work together are the big focus here, though it's got enough humor to get things from getting too serious. Well, at least initially...

Wasteful Days of High School Girls - A band of lovable [?] goofs get involved in various high school hijinks. Somewhat reminiscent of Asobi Asobase from a few seasons ago, but doesn't quite have the same bite. The OP is a real slapper, though.

O Maidens in Your Savage Season - Another band of lovable goofs, but since this one's written by Mari Okada it's focused specifically on budding teenage sexuality and the associated stew of emotions. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's extreme cringe [in a good way]. Early highlight: The main character accidentally walks in on her childhood friend masturbating to train groper porn.

To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts The North won the Civil War thanks to a brigade of soldiers who could turn into the monsters, however they all suffered from a condition that caused them to be unable to transform back into humans over time. Once the war is over, the monsters become less war heroes and more unwanted hazards. There's a metaphor in here somewhere.

Are You Lost - Four high school girls are lost on a deserted island, except one of them is literally Bear Grylls, right down to drinking pee and eating weird stuff.

Cop Craft - Police procedural mixed with fantasy world shenanigans. In the anime world this generally doesn't work at all, but since it's written by the creator of Full Metal Panic! it actually ends up working pretty well.

Haven't watched Dr. Stone yet, but I want to.

Fuck. It's gotten to the part where I originally started to check out of FMP: when the captain turns into a bumbling idiot that falls for Sousuke all of a sudden and there's a dumb love triangle when anyone with sense wants chidori and sousuke together. Then you've got the captain going full re-re and talking shit about Mao. "Since when are they roommates?" "Why does the captain not have her own room?" "When did Tessa and Mao have a rigid relationship?" "Why is Tessa a bitch overnight?"

https://youtu.be/uAYJUWwyrsk

Watch the first 6-7 minutes of this video. Does the silver hair bitch look like a captain to you? I hate it when tv shows bring in unnecessary drama because they need some time to fill.

I remember starting to loathe FMP after this shit, hopefully it's better than I remember.

There's a playable demo for PS4 and Switch you can check out!  It's an 'arena-fighter' with simplistic mechanics, but it plays well and looks great- like the anime come to life.  The story mode does a pretty good job of recreating the anime with a lot of the same or similarly-styled cut scenes.  The demo is just 1v1 fights, but you can fight more than one character and I saw what appeared to be a survival style 1v100 screenshot.  Haven't gotten to that yet.

The biggest change to the story is that it focuses on Satsuki as the protagonist instead of Ryuuko- Ryuuko comes off as almost an annoyance, lol.  Not sure if it's just Satsuki who gets a story or if Ryuuko's unlocks after.

It's popular among Japanese people who are obsessed with American culture and wish that they could have been born in a superior country.

That's a pretty good dub job apart from Hank-- the voice actor is on point and delivers the lines great...but he doesn't sound remotely like him and from what I can tell, doesn't even have a hint of a country accent.

The only one I found reasonable as an approximation of the character was Cotton. Bill, perhaps, but there's a very small sample size there. "Can speak professionally" is a low bar for one of the great American slice of life animes.

Jojo Part 5 ending was dope. Definitely up there with parts 2 and 3 for me as the best.

I can see why people were turned off by it, but to me it took the bizarre aspect and ran with it better than most while still maintaining something easy to follow (I didn't think any of it was so hard to comprehend, a bit too into it's details but within context of how weird it all was it worked for me)

Is it heavily changed, or is it just a different title?

Also, I came to post that I wish somebody would redub the goat Fist of the North Star. I think only the first 20 or so episodes were ever actually even dubbed at all.

Robotech is actually 3 different series put together: Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada. Carl Macek mainly wanted Macross, but there weren't enough episodes for syndication. As for the changes, Part 1 [Macross] is pretty much the same except for some edits here and there [mostly for content, though what was cut eventually got added back for later home video releases]. Parts 2 and 3 [Southern Cross and Mospeada] are changed quite a bit since the story needed to be altered to appear as if they're taking place in the same universe/storyline.

Like Rumbler said, SDF is part 1 of Robotech and it's pretty much SDF with edits (name changes, like Hikaru is changed to Rick, Misa to Lisa). But the show is pretty much the same with some changes here and there. Then the fuckery begins. Part 2 is Southern Cross, a completely different tv series and continuity from SDF. They have the show star Hikaru/Rick and Misa/Lisa's daughter and try to connect a completely unrelated series' story to Macross. It's basically fan fiction. Robotech part 1 is worth watching as it's just Macross with different names and a few other changes I'm forgetting but the rest is the definition of fuckery.

I'm a big fan of Robotech (part 1 of course) but loyalty ultimately comes down to SDF. I wish I could support Macross officially.

We've gotten some good games too, some of which are Robotech related.

Robotech music!

I grew up with Robotech so I have a preference to it over Macross but I understand how its a very odd and weird thing to exist, especially if you were involved in the creative side of Macross.

I watched all of Dr Stone and Vinland Saga that is available.

Dr Stone is cool although Vinland Saga is the real one that captured me. I love the animation. And the slow pacing of it. Really good stuff. Made me want to read the manga.

This was a pretty fun game that randomly came out on the same day as Kingdom Hearts. Still have my Xbox copy of it.

Macross 30 on the PS3 is infinitely better, though. Open-world air combat/action RPG developed by Artdink.

I've got that, it is awesome but not my favorite.

Fun fact: That was released digitally on PS3 only for people who bought the super expensive Limited Edition Blu-ray release of Do You Remember Love? back in the day as a download. It was never made available any other way.

The Sega AM2 (Aerodancing team) developed SDF Macross game on the PS2 was also awesome. What an amazing console generation, when Bandai got them to make a Macross game and the Ace Combat team made a Gundam game.

I rewatched FMP and then finished the story with the manga. It goes even further toward ultra-serious silliness later on (original FMP has the best balance) and I could never care about the ultimate threat of the series. I think I would have enjoyed it more back when I first watched it. Parts of it I liked a lot though.

Watched a few eps of Your Lie in April since I'm on a piano kick and, I wanted to like it but pretty sure I don't. Too much manic pixie dream girl and modern anime-isms.

Got to ep6 and manic pixie dream girl character says something like "Wow I knew swimming would be fun!" Which immediately set off some :drudge alarms.

So I skipped ahead to the end yup, they pull a whole "Bridge to Terabithia" thing and it's supposed to make the show seem deep (cause true art is sad, not happy) but it just doesn't really work...

The main girl's deal is she never says she loves the MC until after she dies... only telling him in letter form. #cucked

This biggest suspension breaker is when it's revealed she's loved him since both of them were 5 years old, and she saw him at a recital... however she never made contact with him during her childhood, and instead concocts this grand scheme when she's a teenager to """"""casually"""""" run into him.

The eponymous "lie" is that manic pixie girl "like liked" MC's best friend, not him, just so she could be MC-adjacent.

Like... what...

And then you throw this girl's overabundant personality (frequently coming off as pushy and bratty, you know, in between scenes where she's a virtuoso-level 14-year old violinist) and it just does not make sense. I can understand why someone portrayed like, say, Hinata, has issues getting close to her love interest throughout childhood. But this girl? There could just as easily been a scene when they were five where she's like "I decided, you're marrying me when we're grown ups!!" She's far more like Chichi than Hinata.

The MC also frequently annoyed me in similar but worse way that Haru on Free! does. But my complaints of him just amount to the type of melodrama and self-seriousness plaguing almost any modern anime. Dude is 14 but acts talks and acts like a 35-year old. C'mon.

Trigun sucked. Cowboy Bebop wannabe where 90% of the hype was based around the amazing character design of its main character. Perhaps one of the more overrated anime series’ of the early 2000’s.

That intro though. Best thing about Trigun.

https://youtu.be/4OxFSy8G5wk

Watch Big O or Outlaw Star instead.

If you want another adult oriented 90’s anime in the desert also consider Iria.

Michiko to Hatchin is a great example of 2000’s anime fluff that looked great, sounded great and little else that somehow gains an audience despite its apparent mediocrity.

Watch Lupin The Third Fujiko Mine or the 2000’s Golgo 13 tv instead for hard hitting adult serious action.

Another suggestion for off the wall animated serious action is Kemonozume. It’s by the same director as Devil Crybaby, Mind Game, Ping Pong, and Kaiba.

It owns.

Trigun is still good. Vash can be grating at times, and the animation quality dips pretty low in a few episodes, but once you reach the half-way point where Vash starts fighting the Gung-Ho Guns it's great.

And Trigun's OST is stellar all the way around, not just the OP.

If you're actually going to watch GT, skip ahead to the start of the "Baby Saga" where it goes back to just being Goku versus the big bad of the storyline stuff again.  It gets so ridiculous that it literally becomes Goku against planet EARTH.  Then you get a couple of episodes where two Android 17s pop up and merge together and it's full of more ridiculous nostalgia.  Then the dragons in the Dragonballs turn evil and fight and what the fuck is going on oh hey it's over.

I watched the first ep of the anime and read the first chapter of the manga, and the little fairy in the manga does seem to ruin the gothic horror feeling.

Although I have read that the manga is far more gory.

Puck is heavy handed and ever present comedy relief, yeah. Miura adds even more such characters later on. I stopped reading their dialogue a long time ago.

There's a very long backflash that starts at volume 4 and lasts until volume 13, where all hell breaks loose. Most of that period is relatively grounded as far as the violence goes. The first TV series adapts this stretch of the manga and is subsequently not as gory either.

The CG series adapts later volumes and is gorier by virtue of that, but it's also bad, so...

I only saw bits of the first ep, but it doesn't seem like Watanabe's best work, and I say that as someone who has ravenously watched everything else he's directed.

I dunno. It's about music, but the songs aren't as a emotive as those in his other shows

There's a 24-episode series that picks up where the three movies [and the 90s series] left off. It's pretty bad, though.

Already watching Cop Craft and it's pretty enjoyable when it's sticking to being lighthearted, but when it tries to play up the dramatic moments it kinda falls apart. Still not too bad.

Dr Stone I've heard good things about, but I really hate the art style so much that makes me not want to watch past the first twp ep I've seen. Gonna give it a try though since it seems Jump is trying to push it into being their flagship running series.

Started watching Kuroko's Basketball. Takes a few episodes to find its rhythm but now I'm really enjoying it about halfway through the first season. It's always entertaining of course to see a japanese take on such an American sport and the fun they can have with it.  Favorite scene so far...

Watched the first episode of Hataage! Kemono Michi on Hulu yesterday- it's yet another isekai anime, but with a twist.  Instead of being a typical high school student :zzz, the main character is a huge, animal-loving pro wrestler who wants to retire and open a pet shop.  He gets summoned to a fantasy world mid-match and proceeds to suplex the princess after she asks him to go kill monsters.   :lol  Instead of being the typical hero, he resolves to go help out the animals/monsters and is constantly labeled as a pervert for both his love of animals and lack of clothing.  It's pretty good stuff.

Mh. I want to be positive about this cause I liked the manga, but Q Hayashida's grimy art could have been translated better, particularly in the character models. Kaiman's head in particular is way too flat for what's supposed to be lizard scales. Looks so out of place, like a first draft or something. :/

No Guns Life was pretty good.  Hulu/Funi has like three "detective" shows this season.  Forget the name of one of the others but it's about a cop who joins a squad of elves/vampires/etc. and takes on special crimes in a world where fantasy races are part of society.  It almost feels like it picks up right where Cop Craft left off.

Was ready to be harsh on the new Blade of the Immortal adaptation but the first ep was much better than I expected. It's very heavily stylized which I guess is cheaper than having to actually animate fights. It worked for me though, at least in this episode.

The Takeshi Miike film might end up being the best adaptation still, it rocks but 3 eps in now and it's good, much better than the one ten years ago. Read the manga though. Samura is sick, I love him. Probably my favorite mangaka, him and Tsutomu Nihei.

I've heard the Disney dub [with Phil Hartman] and it's pretty good, I'm assuming the earlier Streamline dub [which doesn't have Phil Hartman] probably isn't all that good.

I love Phil too and will listen to both Dubs... but I should listen to the the best one first right? I guess I just have a natural hatred of same-language redubs.

The first dub was commissioned by Tokuma Shoten for Japan Airlines' flights, and was only ever commercially released as part of Ghibli laserdisc box set in Japan.

Quote
Cowboy Bebop was their first foray in to this dangerous territory. Cannabis use is especially frowned upon in Japanese society, but the dynamic duo subverted Japanese TV censors. One of Bebop’s later episodes included space hippies passing around a joint, and they showed a clip of this scene at the Saturday panel.

A translator for Watanabe said, “We did just tell the censors this was ordinary tobacco,  'Nothing to worry about,'” followed by riotous laughter from the panel’s audience.

“If you actually watch the episode,” said Sato via the translator, “the drug is never mentioned by name.”

Quote
Sato said he was especially inspired by American media’s portrayal of cannabis: “I was really in to Tarantino films. And when you watched other American films, you just saw [cannabis use] as a matter fact. Not something that was despised or approved of.”

Sunday’s panel focused on Samurai Champloo, the wicked swordplay series that featured an episode where a marijuana farm was burned to the ground. All these weed references got people wondering if Watanabe and Sato ever smoked up. When asked by an audience member whether they had sampled Colorado’s legal cannabis products, Watanabe simply replied, “No comment,” to which both men then erupted in chuckles.

Yes- episode four was last weekend.  You can only get it fansubbed right now.  Am assuming that Netflix has the rights to this new season and are waiting for it to finish before they put it up next year, like the first season.  Not gonna wait for that!

Finished Carole & Tuesday S1. First TV anime I've watched since Devilman Crybaby/IBO since I'm pretty out of the scene. I liked it. The robo-ai making a music video ep was hilarious and best ep, but the rest was all good and it was nice that it didn't have any of the embarrassing perv stuff in modern anime. Music was a bit all over with some good/fine stuff and some cringy a bit. Definitely Watanabe's 3rd best show after Bebop/Champloo. I sorta enjoyed the boring Kids on the Slope but this was much better and I heard the terrorist one was so bad I didn't even bother watching it. Oh and I tried watching Space Dandy and that was cringe af. So glad Watanabe is kinda back here. Good mix of style and music and Mars.

just started watching Evangelion for the first time.

Tbh I was expecting slick mecha actions, but so far it feels like 'what if a resetera poster was a mech pilot'.  I like the production values, but yeah. Maybe I'm just too old for this. Nothing is really explained.  The main guy gets bullied at school for being a mecha pilot.  :doge.

Was the manga more detailed? He get selected because he's the designer's son and he can somehow handle the mech handling for some.. anime reasons.

Where are those angels coming from? Why are they attacking the same city over and over again?

I'm watching episode 3 as I'm typing this, and he's constantly losing his shit. I know he's supposed to be young but..  :doge

I can see how this was amazing for it's time. I would rent anime tapes from times to times back in the days and I never ended up renting this, but I can tell I would have liked it back then.

Netflix also has two other movies available.. The DEath of Evangelion and another one.

I know that the end gets super weird and everybody dies, but eh.

 Is it worth watching?

edit: Ok, now he just stabbed the giant squid thing and he's crying like a bitch in the cockpit. I don't have time for this.

I couldn't stand the music in Carole & Tuesday. Also, the episodes of Space Dandy are patchy, but that's what makes the show so good. Honestly I hated the Boobies stuff at first but after a while the parody element sorta clicks in. The show is making fun of weeb fanservice shit. Give it another go for me  :heartbeat

The episode chronology is practically non-linear, so watch the ep "Even Vacuum Cleaners Fall in Love, Baby" or "Lovers Are Trendy, Baby"

Plus Terror in Resonance was pretty good, idk, i'd give it a chance

Pretty crazy, this studio released a few series and a movie and then just dropped off the face of the Earth, with freelancers unpaid and no one able to contact the head of the studio.

If you're watching both, watch them in order. If you're just doing one, do 2011.

Some might suggest starting with the older and then switching to 2011 for the chimera ant arc onwards, but ehhhhh I don't recommend it.

I read the 2011 version is closer to the manga version. But sometimes anime makes improvements. Like there are some moments here and there in early One Piece that I think were slightly better in the anime. :doge

And I also prefer the old anime esthetic. :doge

Which one looks closest to the manga version?

Did this guy ever finish the manga or is he still playing Dragon Quest or whatever?  Or am I getting him confused with the Berserk guy?  Or is it both of them?  Haven't checked on how Bastard is doing or Gunnm in a while, either.  WHY U CAN'T FINISH UR SHIT GUYS

Certain things are more accurate in '99, but the series also has way more non-canon filler. There's also a minor similarity with Fullmetal Alchemist '03 vs. Brotherhood, where certain decisions in the early episodes made way more sense for new viewers in the older series vs. the newer.

'11 gets down to brass tacks immediately. Most of the complaints of '11 revolve around a minor de-emphasis on gore for the first ~20 episodes (after this, it stays pretty true to the manga despite some pretty dark moments in the back-half of the series), and a preference for '99's general tone, mood, and/or atmosphere, particularly in the Yorknew City arc.

'11 was my introduction to the franchise so I'm biased, but I really do think it's probably the best way to consume the series. It's extremely manga accurate, is animated by one of my personal favorite studios (MadHouse), and does more justice to Togashi's art than his own work.

What the manga has going for it is that it's ongoing, and '11 unfortunately had to end (on a fairly high note.) But otherwise I think '11 represents Hunter x Hunter at its best and most accessible.

Pictured is the original run, below is the Blu-ray tankoubon version:

Other revisions are more pronounced:

Casshern Sins redefines existential nihilism. It's great, but took me multiple tries to get through.

There's literally no clip of it online but the English dub sung by Caitlin Glass is just as good, and has less engrishy lyrics, and it just as powerful.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken is a great show, it’s about teen girls, and it isn’t horny. Truly a blessed anime. Just as you’d expect from the master, Yuasa-sama.

It's probably the horniest anime ever made [that isn't just straight-up hentai]. The plot is a couple of dudes [and a hermaphrodite angel] visit different monster-girl prostitutes, have loads of sex, and then write reviews to decide which species is the best. That's it. That's the show.

AOTD, basically.

Finished watching Kandagawa Jet Girls last night in preparation for the game, which is out today (and am sure is 2020 GOTY).  It hit me that this entire show was pretty positive and all about friendship and good sportsmanship.  No bad guys or underhanded shit going on or any of that.  If they ever think about removing all the tiddy, they could probably reach a lot more of a mainstream audience.  But then I guess they'd lose all their fans.

That said, too much was focused on FURENDO and not enough on the actual racing.  It's like after the first couple of episodes, somebody said "fuck it; let's just make it a pervy slice of life show and have them go around town doin' thangs," then someone else went "oh yeah, this is about water combat racing, right?  We got one episode left let's have a race!"  The gyaru pair show up as finalists for this race, despite never having been shown as racers or even having an ounce of skill.

Unless I missed something, it also irked me that the main character's mama was some famous racer that her partner looked up to, but she never told her she was her daughter at any point.  Why?  :lol

Definitely spent too much time writing this post about this.   :brain

This work basically won't be enjoyed for what it is but instead it is the context that decides whether one will hold either one of the opinions.

Few do not know this franchise and as with any big one, there are fanatics and nay-sayers.

One does not need to elaborate why one could possibly be a fanatic.

Nay-sayers are however split into two camps. One simply finds the genre itself not to their taste

or they are into this genre but have different points of complaints.

Now instead of something that is not and has no pornography getting such, it having such got an adaption which has neigh. Even if one is new or for some reason does not now Nekopara  Jetgirls will likely join either the fanatics because catgirls jetgirls that can be lewded or they won't like it for the very same reason,

As one might be able to guess, the camp that criticizes the original work won't grow much since the original work basically becomes additional material.

And that's basically my problem, the original is just too damn short to be good. Each is like 3 hours, 5 if you are slow. That's not enough to nurture love, build characters (+their relations) and make lasting memories. Mind you while anime would be slower than a visual novel, there is much more happening and at once even.

This is also quite likely why I like Minami-ke so very much since it had 4 cours plus OVAs. Though obviously Kana is a better Chocola anyway. (I want to like Nekopara Jetgirls but I just could not, I sincerely hope that I can enjoy the anime on its own which luckily is after Episode #2 still the case, Introductions are out of the way and now it should be time for full-on soothing cute comedy.)

Posted in the movie thread, but lolllllll at Shinkai's Weathering With You as someone that's been watching his stuff from the start and is a fan (although Place Promised in Our Early Days was baaad and I haven't seen Garden of Words but from what I understand it's generally not well reviewed and considered his 2nd weakest after Place Promised).

The process of watching Makoto Shinkai’s Weathering with You:
Hmmm, direction seems kinda off. His stuff is usually narratively very tight -> ok, this story is really weird, I don’t even know if Miyazaki in his prime could make this work -> hahaha, wat -> ooohhhh boyyy -> time to leave the theater quickly.
At first I thought this was maybe a writer/director under stress of trying to come up with something new & great after being made super famous and probably rich with Your Name.
But duckroll pointed out to me that Shinkai’s good movies are all essentially the same movie over and over with Your Name being kinda the perfection of what he does aka guy & girl separated by distance, space, time with poetic waxings and nice art.
And when he tries to write a story outside of that...he has issues.

Weathering with You is a pretty bad story concept and the directing feels messy like he didn’t have a lot of faith in it and was just sorta flailing around hoping it would come together
And then there’s the whole climate change is

spoiler (click to show/hide)
the natural process of sky turtles & dragons and tokyo was originally underwater so we’ll all be ok!
[close]

Theme which is hilariously misguided wtf.
I read an interview afterwards where he is like well I wanted to make a movie about climate change because it’s a thing now, but I wanted to strip out all political messages to appeal to everyone and wanted to show both sides of the weather. Lol
So he wanted to make a movie about climate change without actually saying anything about climate change and by including climate change denial arguments he essentially made a family friendly climate change denial movie lol
What a mess
but hey it made $200 million already! So he gets to continue to be a success in Asia.

Started watching Kuroko's Basketball. Takes a few episodes to find its rhythm but now I'm really enjoying it about halfway through the first season. It's always entertaining of course to see a japanese take on such an American sport and the fun they can have with it.  Favorite scene so far...

(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRfhGpGJ0_SwLRZSR1pQgL2zVSVR2oZhMqAnrx3AyAtzOQK43Fr)

Finished up Season 2.

Great anime imo. One of my favorites.

And finally finished up Season 3. Really enjoyed it and the whole show overall. Really great anime. Not just a great sports anime but a geat anime overall. Definitely a top 10 show for me and one I recommend. Still have the movie to go which I will eventually get around to .

Got very busy during the tail end of last year so I wasn't able to watch much anime which is why it took me so long to finish Kuroko. Fortunately I have a lot more free time now. Think I'll finish up season 1 of Vinland Saga and Dr Stone while looking for an older anime to also watch through.

Hello fellow weebs. I finished up Hi Score Girl season 2 this week.

Somewhat weaker than season 1.
spoiler (click to show/hide)
I didn't mind showing the aspect of falling in with the wrong crew, but found that those first 3 episodes were kinda sloppy. What I really cared about was the two main girls and the main boy. I really enjoyed their rivalries. The addition of Akira's sister (was she even in the first season?) was at times a bit much with the main boy's mom. I don't mind having a few goofball moments. Just seemed to be a bit much compared to season 1. Though I appreciate the older sister as the season goes on and how she assists the main boy.

Can't help but feel bad for the blonde girl. She's obviously the odd one out in the love triangle but oooooh  :( . Main boy just never had a thing for her. The pain of unreciprocated love  :( . I dug the battle between the two main girls, just a shame that we don't see the blonde again until the very end. And she does the right thing which kinda makes me feel sad for her again. *sigh*. Poor thing.

Akira beating the main boy in the semi-finals was neat. Just the way it was meant to be. I like the small touch of Akira then losing in the finals as it didn't really mean anything to her. It was all about finishing up this rivalry before she had to leave for LA. The coincidence here and how it ties up to my life is pretty crazy too. I have a friend who is moving pretty far away in a few weeks and I kinda feel like the main boy character. Not that there is love connected in my case. Just the idea of "man I'm gonna miss this person so much, but dammit this is not the end. I will fly out to see you and this relationship will not end just because of the loss of proximity."

Ahhhh... yeah I didn't like this season as much as season 1, but it was still pretty good and had its heartfelt moments (I live for that). Somehow I'm at peace with how things turned out for our crew. Even the blonde girl seems to have found her peace too.

By the way. I couldn't tell from the fan subs. did she beat Akira when they were dueling in episode 3 (or was it 4)? I wasn't sure if she implies in the last episode that she "won the battle, but lost the war" meaning that she actually took that 3rd round. Not that it matters in the end cause she recognized from that fight how much Akira cared for our main boy character.

[close]

So in the end heartbreak heartbreak. But also heartbeat heartbeat.

We'll find out what happens with Hidaka soon enough- a new manga series "Hi-Score Girl Dash," centering on her as the main character, just started running.  It takes place in 2007 IIRC when she's grown-up and is working as a teacher.

Episode 3 of Interspecies Reviewers was so saucy that they had to visually censor several entire scenes. It's almost outright porn at this point. :lol

Haven't watched this yet (do I want to?  :doge)

Why would you not want to, it's a great show? You some kind of SJW, bork?

what happened with gainax

Their biggest problem was brain drain. Hideaki Anno left in 2006 and took some people with him, then Hiroyuki Imaishi left in 2011 and took some people with him. The only veterans they have left are Hiroyuki Yamaga [who has a great resume, but hasn't released a project in nearly 20 years] and Shouji Saeki [who helmed their most recent stuff, but has a very mediocre track record]. Their recent stuff has been bad or just not interesting, so they've taken to scamming money out of Hideaki Anno to stay afloat, but with him finally wising up that don't have that to fall back on anymore. Yamaga has claimed that they're working on some big projects, but I don't think anybody believes him.

Oh, and their most recent President, Tomohiro Maki, got outed as a pedo rapist.

Still haven't seen this yet.  I did read the manga version over the weekend and it's actually kinda tame for the most part, considering the subject matter.  Wonder if the anime went overboard or if it's just it being a show about reviewing whores that set people off.  :lol

The author's other manga series, about the girl who wakes up and finds that girls act like guys and guys act like girls in regards to sexuality...is way more explicit and lewd.  It also shifts to a male student who also wakes up in the same "world" and takes full advantage of it, gleefully accepting 3000 yen payments from the main girl's friends for sex.  They can't believe that a boy would willingly fuck them for so little cash, lol.

I'm actually cautiously optimistic about new GITS.  The trailer editing makes it hard to tell if the direction and actual animation are going to be good or not.  The models seem fine.  I'd prefer a 2d production, but this looks fine.  I'm more interested in the direction and the writing with GITS stuff, and since this is a new SAC "season", with kamiyama coming back..., yeah color me optimistic.

Dorohedoro- This is some grotesque, weird, enjoyable shit.   :lol  The art style also reminds of Otomo- some of those characters look like they could fit into Akira.

Also, damn, they change up the ending credits like every two eps.  One of them is a tribute to Wolfenstein/Doom.

I believe they put it up week to week in other territories then dump it out here when it's complete, so you're waiting either way.

Saw the second My Hero Academia movie yesterday- thought it was better than the first.  Hard to say where this fits into the main story (probably doesn't really matter)- the villain is shown to have been enhanced by the evil fat professor guy whose name was causing Twitter outrage a little while ago and he's somewhat tied to the league of villains, but none of that really matters.  He's just I WANT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD guy. 

The plot revolves around the whole class being assigned to a sleepy little fishing island as a kind of work-story program and helping the townspeople -with no teachers to back them up or supervise- and then big bad and his cronies pop up and they have to fight them without the adults.  I liked that everyone gets some time to shine here and it isn't all just Deku.

Quote
The official website for the internationally acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in The Shell)'s highly-anticipated new anime project VLADLOVE is updated today with its first key visual to introduce its three main characters.

 

VLADLOVE is a 12-episode slapstick comedy series. Oshii serves as the general director and screenplay writer, alongside his Urusei Yatsura mate Junji Nishimura as the director. Kenji Kawai, who has collaborated with Oshii for decades, of course, provides the soundtrack music. It was originally scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2020. Now it is set for the fall of 2020.

 

 

Synopsis:

 

Mitsugu Bamba is a high school girl who finds meaning in donating blood. She frequently visits a blood bank to donate blood, despite being harshly treated by the nurse. One day, she encounters a beautiful girl who looks like she's from overseas at the blood bank. The pale girl looks like she's about to faint any minute, but then, she starts destroying the blood bank. The girl loses consciousness and Mitsugu takes her home...

https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/03/01-1/listeners-tv-anime-unleashes-the-power-of-rock-in-new-pv

Quote
From MAPPA (Terror in Resonance, Yuri!!! on ICE), Listeners takes place in a world where the entire idea of music vanishes from existence. The story follows Echo Rec (Ayumu Murase), a young teen who comes across μ (Rie Takahashi), a girl who, oddly enough, has an auxiliary port on her body. Together, they’ll work to rock the foundation of society and bring music back to the world.

Quote
Tokyo life takes a turn for the spooky in a new trailer for Zashiki-warashi no Tatami-chan ("Tatami-chan, the Guest Room Child"), an upcoming horror gag comedy mini-anime from the manga author of Hi Score Girl which features a sharp-tongued spirit experiencing life in the big city.


Quote
The story of Zashiki-warashi no Tatami-chan follows Tatami-chan, a household deity from Tono City in Iwate Prefecture, who moves to the big city of Tokyo. However, Tatami-chan uses up all of her limited funds to rent a rundown apartment that doesn't have gas, water, or electricity, so she's forced to take on human and yokai roommates and to look for a part-time job.

I dunno, people always talk about it being confusing or hard to follow, but I've never really thought that? Ultimately, there are three major groups of characters: the Colonel and the weird old psychic kids, the lady that Kaneda is kinda in love with and her terrorist friends who are trying to help the one old kid get away from the government, and the biker gang that Tetsuo and Kaneda belong to [although only those two are really that important]. The conflict between the former two drags in the biker gang, owing to Tetsuo having latent psychic powers, as well. Tetsuo's powers eventually go out of control because they're too strong, and because he resists being controlled by the others. Then everything really goes crazy when Akira, the big bad psychic man, gets woken up. But he's mostly cool with just undoing the damage that's been done and then taking Tetsuo off to another plane of existence where he can't cause anymore harm.

Oh is that what happened? Because all it seemed like to me was 3 new characters every 15 minutes and really aggressive and confusing editing and this dude goes from a crying bitch on the street to like....seeing teddy bear mechs and then he's in space for a sec and why does he have a cape all of the sudden and then he's half cyborg and then he erupts like Clayface and squishes someone to death on accident and then he becomes a planet?

He's a snotty little punk who gets cool psychic powers so he thinks he's all great but then his powers run wild so he has to go live in space.

Watched Thunderbolt Fantasy after seeing some people shilling for it on /a/, it was surprisingly fun. The story was kind of like your typical Chinese fantasy stuff, but it still managed to be interesting. Obviously though the main draw is the puppetry stuff coupled with the special effect which manages to look simultaneously great but weird. I definitely digged it on the visual front. Now begins the wait for season 3

I really hope the new Netflix series ends up being good since it's using the SAC moniker.

Also I haven't watched any new Gundam in years. The last Gundam I watched was Builders.

Any new serious seinen shows from the past year?

Oh right, a Vinland Saga adaptation. Should be good.

Is the tone of Cop Craft as silly as that op?

Feels like so much modern seinen is over the top. I guess the super serious shit of old is more of a financial risk. Doesn't feel like seinen anymore, though. 10 years ago you likely wouldn't categorize something like seinen but here we are.

It's definitely not as over-the-top as the OP, but is somewhat less hard-boiled police drama than it is burnt-out cop dealing with his new partner who is an elf from another dimension.

Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT| After that, and THE END [#FuckGainax]
Post by: EchoRin on March 28, 2020, 05:08:33 PM
Your Lie in April

I finished episode 16. This anime is very much up my alley. I love music, emotional tales, romance, self-growth, self-realization, competitiveness (which is sort of odd in a way cause I think people wouldn't describe me as competitive). I'm enjoying very much so far. Sometimes the music sets up the emotion in the scene so well, oh it's great. Though I have some qualms. More so in the first 5 episodes perhaps rather than now.

 At some point I got tired with the main character not being able to hear the notes. Or rather, we know that, but the anime keeps on showing it in a very descriptive way and a repetitive way. We know his issue. Stop putting us in his head when that happens. Give us other people's reactions. Stop flashing back to his dead mom.
Now I know that it is all consuming and that's not my issue. It's just how the anime always deals with scenes when he goes into "I can't... hear the notes again... I'm drowning in the nothingness." The way the show expresses this has gotten monotonous.

The other thing, and I almost can't believe I'm saying this cause I love nothing more than an anime that makes me bawl like a little bitch. This anime is naturally emotional. Characters have true and honest reasons to be sad or angry. It's very human. But the anime seems to try to push for that emotions at times when it's not really there and just comes off like they want to hit an emotional quota. It's ok boys and girls. You can let the foot off the peddle and let the anime breathe. It's unnecessary to reach for these moments. The show itself has plenty that tugs on the heartstrings in a sincere and honest way. 

It's like the old "look that asshole eating those crackers" kind of thing. I'm sure that asshole has done more than enough to make you angry, but now it's just nonsense that you're actually complaining about. You're overselling when you don't have to because the reasons that person is an asshole is good enough. It's kind of like that in this anime when it comes to emotional outbursts.

But it appears as the anime continues on it gets better about just letting things play out, letting the emotions genuinely come as they need to instead of reaching for them. And man, MAN this anime has some fantastic lines for us dreamers. These little nuggets of wisdom. Oh and I love that the blonde girl has a very John Frusciante approach to music. I picked up on that immediately and was like "yes. YES! I know exactly what you mean. Your musical ethos is spot on."

And now a spoiler:

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Is she gonna die from ALS?  :'( :'( :'( Shit's very hard to watch as you see her losing her footing. Can't grip things. It's very emotional as I knew a person who had and of course died from ALS and it's, phuuuw, horrifying. Maybe it's some other "animu illness". Either way I'm ready for the worst, but I'm still gonna cry and curl up into a ball if it happens. These characters are very well crafted. It feels like you really know them. So if tragedy happens I know it's going to trigger me.
[close]

So yeah. Loving this so far.

I guess at this point I might as well add that I'm a huge fan of 500 Days of Summer. Not that it's an anime, but when I saw "faux-twee" I figured I may as well state that too.

edit: and I like this too which is some faux twee BS haha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dreamers_(film)

Finished Your Lie in April.

What the hell, no need to delay and go straight to typing in spoilers code

spoiler (click to show/hide)
That last episode man. I'm spent. First, the performance. It's a beautiful piece in and of itself. Then the mirage of blonde girl shows up to add to the piece with the violin. It's something as a viewer you longed for and our characters longed for, but have not been able to see through due to "animu sickness" that the blonde girl is suffering from. The strength of their bond is so strong that its as if she's with him. And then, she stops.

She stands and looks to our main guy. He hopes that mirage continues playing, but it does not and as he finishes off the piece it disappears in a stunning, brilliant looking way. And this whole performance is beautifully animated. A huge highlight of the entire show. It's something else, really. However, you just want to know that this isn't the end. That the boy and girl will meet again. All the boy says while sitting at the piano after the conclusion of the performance is "goodbye". And I knew, I knew what that meant. Last episode. Who am I kidding. Everything I just witnessed during that performance tells me what I need to know. It's true. She's gone. I accepted it. It's sad, but I was prepared. Or so I thought.

As the boy leaves the cemetery he's given a note from the girl's parents. He starts to read it and as the visuals are presented and he reads aloud the words I start balling. I can't hold back the tears at all. What we've experienced with these characters and all that lead up to this. The the idea of being heard and not being forgotten. To do something memorable for someone that they will always remember you. I mean she was I don't know, 15 or whatever age middle school concludes in Japan. People's lives go on. Are they going to hold onto a memory of someone as they go into high school, into college, into marriage. Was your life just a moment that will be forgotten by all? You weren't able to record anything to a record. Your career as a musician halted immediately. Any potential is gone for you to being able to continue and leave your mark. So all you have is the hope that hopefully somehow you did enough that someone will hold onto your memory and you won't be lost to time before completely fading away as if you never were.

It's sad and terrifying. Too young. Too young to be met with this fate.

I balled again during the credits.

I'm still having the odd strand of tears that I'm holding back now. I'm done. It's been a long time since an anime ran over me like a train.

So that was something. Gonna log off for a few days. You all have a good one. Peace

I liked your comment earlier when you first said you'd check it out but forgot to comment... Code Geass is basically that ultimate power fantasy type of anime that existed in the early 2000s (like Death Note) and the first season is a tour de force. Second is meh but also has some good moments and you should watch anyway for the sake of completeness. My only complaint is that literally all of the slice of life elements in CG should have been cut out.

I might have every SE of .hack//SIGN, Code Geass is good for at least its original two seasons I dunno about all the weird side spin off shit, and I am definitely not reminded of any lurid fan made videos by Bork's current avatar.

Been on a Dragon Ball binge and I finally finished DBZ Kai. The Kai cuts make it an actually good series, I can't even imagine how I managed to sit through the garbage that was the original DBZ as a kid. On that note even the Kai cut of the Buu saga left too much padding for my liking, once evil Buu appeared it was pretty much stretching each 13 page manga chapter over an episode and a half+. No wonder even as a kid I couldn't stand this arc.

Though even with the padding, I thought it was actually better than the Cell saga. Gohan just came off as really annoying for me in that arc and the Cell games were a total drag. In the end Frieza was the only real good villain in the whole series tbh, while the first Vegeta fight was highlight of the series.

Now I'm wondering if I should watch the movies that apparently cover Super or watch the series instead?

The initial DB Super episodes were dumb, and then then stuff based on the movies was kind of bad animation-wise.  I think they may have cleaned some things up for the BD releases. 

I stopped after a few episodes, waited for the stuff covered in the movies to finish, then started watching.  I don't think there's much of anything that makes watching the same stories get stretched out in episode format worth bothering with, so IMO I'd just watch the movies, jump onto the arc that starts after them (I think it's universe six?), then watch the Broly movie.

Watched a bit of Super before reading your post, you weren't kidding about bad animation. I guess 20 years since the end of DBZ the hype must have been kind of dead and their budget small. I still always find it surprising at how remakes or new series of famous franchises like this or HxH can end up looking worse than shit released 20 years ago.

Anyway despite that I've enjoyed the series so far, but I think I'll take your advice and go the movie route. The whole super sayan god shit seemed like it's gonna end up being a pretty dumb arc to be worth putting all the hours into the show. Still smirking at how an unborn baby made Videl hair turn blonde though.

Ppl hate the godzilla movies but I liked them. They're very weird, and it's not really about Godzilla at all. I know the entire franchise isn't really about Godzilla but these movies are super weird, spiritual and esoteric about it.

It's a 3 ep ova, that's the third ep. Doesn't really matter what order you watch tho since they're all stand alone stories, they just recenter the main character in the group each time. That eps my favorite though.

Dunno about the movies, but the First Inspector series should be on Amazon too.  I grabbed 'em from Nyaa because they are supposed to be split into three episodes and apparently the Amazon version is some kind of edited-together "movie."

You definitely want to watch the Sinners of the System OVAs before you watch season three.  I don't get why they even broke all this up- Sinners, season three, and First Inspector (especially the latter) are all one big story.

Very minor spoiler for season 3, but ending spoiler for Sinners Of The System:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
So we get this team of people made up of former police/enforcers who were the main characters from previous systems.  They don't seem to be answering to SYBIL and aren't being manipulated and all that.  Great, right?  Only they just kind of show up from time to time and help fight, then leave again, and have no real impact on the story.   :lol

One new show I've been enjoying is Fugou Keiji: Balance:UNLIMITED.  It's a "buddy" cop show about a guy who was moved from a more prestigious division down to a lower division after he fucked up a case.  His group is then joined by an impossibly-rich guy who uses his unlimited wealth to do whatever the hell he wants, including "buying" his way into being a detective.  This character is kind of like Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark- he's a big rich asshole, spending money and using a crazy AI system to bribe people/get the job done (he buys a building just so he can shoot at criminals on top of it), much to the detriment of the more normal detective he is paired up with.

It's been about a week since I finished Madoka Magica. Just the show. I know there is a movie. Doesn't appear to be on Netflix so that will have to wait for now.

I already knew ahead of time that the anime was blatantly a "don't judge a book by it's cover" ordeal where "shit gets real". Even so I was not fully prepared. All the labyrinth stuff seems like Persona dungeons on DMT. The way we learn about the characters and their motives is really nice. For several episodes you might have a character pegged as X, but then as more is revealed about them we realize it's actually Y. It's really my favorite part. As the web becomes more untangled and things become more clear you really shift your views on the people and the circumstances. And the show does it with such ease and grace which really impressed me for a 12 episode show. Sure there are various things that you just assume happen in the background, but the main stuff is not overlooked.

The last episode I had to sort of rewatch various bits cause suddenly it's god damn EVA all over again aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh! But after thinking I wrapped my head around it, I actually get the conclusion here haha.

Music was pretty good too. I was really scared in the first five minutes of the first episode that this was going to be "cool animu butt rock that high school guys like" which I hate and also over the top Dragonball-esque fighting, which isn't my cup of tea. Luckily that turned out to be a red herring. I mean yes the fighting is complete utter fantasy over the top. But a different variety that I didn't mind. I think that's due to the enemy types. I just didn't two enemies floating in the air talking shit doing animu cliche chants. Instead the weapons and fights are overtly absurd while having some disturbing sense of fairy tales gone awfully wrong.

Anyway, that last episode man. Madoka. I guess I should be at peace with her decision. Yet... ah I don't know man. What she did took massive balls and I guess she decided with absolute clarity. Still.

Oh, how freaking awesome is it that in the shows current timeline that we observe the story from that
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Madoka doesn't become a magical girl until the final episode? That to me was a great decision. Considering that the show is all about these magical girls and yet the main character essentially moves in this timeline not being one of them.
[close]

How is the movie anyway? Should I look forward to seeing it?

Oh and one small quip. The subtitles were too fast sometimes. I would say on average I had to rewind the show 3 times per episode to catch all the dialogue.

Someone needs to be punished for SAC 2045's OP. It's a mess of musical tone and visuals.

Think the ED is decent enough.

That's pretty much how I feel. OP was meh, ED was alright.

Still not a fan of the CG and how the characters look, just doesn't quite work for me. Would much rather they stuck with 2D like the previous series, or even a blend of 2D and 3D like Innocence. Still, it's a lot better than some other recent CG shows, like Berserk.

First episode was just okay. A bit too much infodump going on and the cast is split up, so it's going to take a bit to really get rolling.

That might be one bridge too far to push another series.
I saw half of Arise and I don't remember any of it. The films and SAC cribbed most of the good bits & storylines of the Ghost in the Shell manga (original run and 1.5). Never say never, there's maybe ways to come up with new stuff to graft unto that but I'd rather have a new Dominion series or a better adaptation of Appleseed. They never got the latter right despite the original story being as strong as GitS and with some room to grow (being unconcluded).

In that way it kinda felt like an okay ep of SAC. I enjoyed the Appleseed movies though so I'm not surprised this show isn't bothering me. I couldn't finish Arise but I'll probably enjoy my time with this.

Once you get past the look of the show, it's fine.  The animation isn't too terrible, either.

I notice that Bandai-Namco is involved with this.  Maybe it's the modeling and animation or something...makes me wonder if Motoko is going to be the next Tekken 7 character reveal.

After an episode or two, you won't really even think about it anymore.  It's still very much Ghost In The Shell, with the same voice actors and all that.  Seems to be more action-focused than some of the previous shows, though.

GitS wasn't too bad, the ending cliffhanger is annoying though. Psycho Pass three was actually one I followed better than S1 and S2 (yuck) there was always something that came out of nowhere with those seasons but I felt season 3 flowed nicely.

GitS 2045 is no SAC, but its enjoyable. The 3D style is actually good in comparison to just about every other 3D anime series that I've seen and the animation is never janky. Smh at the cliffhanger ending though. I'm hoping this was only half a season.

The first Mardock Scramble movie is pretty good. 2 and 3 are kinda wack because the latter half of 2 and first half of 3 is a card game at a casino, and it really drags.
This comment ended up being true for 2. The casino itself was fine but I just enjoyed it way less. Hoping there's a big payoff in 3.

Don't read the light novel, they had me in the first half not gonna lie but it becomes super trash later. Good news is the anime likely never gets to the serious super trash even if they have a couple more seasons.

Quote
The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha set out on a journey transcending time!

In Feudal Japan, Half-Demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa wanders into a mysterious tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota, and his family.

Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a Demon Slayer working for Kohaku. But to Towa’s shock, Setsuna appears to have lost all memories of her older sister.

Joined by Moroha, the daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome, the three young women travel between the two eras on an adventure to regain their missing past.

Takahashi isn't even the character designer, apparently.  She is "overseeing" the designs.  Can we get them to just do more Urusei Yatsura or Ranma instead, then?

I was wondering what happened to Rin-Ne, but I see that already ended a couple of years ago, and now she has a new series, Mao, that is getting an anime version soon.  The description makes it sound a bit like Demon Slayer fused with Inu-Yasha.

If you're good with getting the same story twice, sure.  It sucks that the anime only got one season, but the story is pretty long and there's no way it would have finished in that form anyway.

Also the second season (Virgin Soul) is on amazon prime, while the first is on Hulu. And Funimation's streaming service only has the first 3 episodes of s1 available. The streaming wars are fucking dumb.

I can't believe I read a forced sissification superhero manga and liked it.

it was pretty great, had awesome art like always and some really funny/dirty shit in it. Feel a little worried it's falling into the devil blues/prison school trap of spinning the wheels for endless chapters (feel like until the last one the few "romcom" "misunderstanding" chapters were like on a loop of the same plot points.) disappointed by how weaksauce pigtails blackmail game was but I guess that's part of the joke? lol

In 2014, Akira Natsume seems to almost have a phobia of electrical devices while also being very good at diagnosing them. He resolves to change himself for the better and get a girlfriend like his older brother did. But then, Akira suddenly dies in an accident. 16 years later a special policewoman and her android partner retrieve and activate a highly advanced AI and superweapon called EX-ARM and put it into full control of their ship as a last resort. Turns out the AI is actually just Akira's brain!

The first eight chapters of the manga have been fan-translated.  Found out it's a remake of an earlier manga called "EX-Vita," but not sure if that ever got translated.  I checked it out: 

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Most of the first chapter is about the protagonist just being a goofy high schooler who has no social life because he claims to be bad with electronics, but then he is able to diagnose and "fix" his brother's girlfriend's phone just by touching it.   ???  He gets weak from doing this, like he's syncing up with it and it's an information overload.

-It shows someone driving the truck that hits him, but then doesn't touch on this.

-He wakes up in a radically-changed future where there's mecha and people running around Tokyo with guns and all that kind of shit.  He's also just a brain in a suitcase.  We then get introduced to more characters, mostly female, and lots of pantsu~.  It's mostly serious but switches to goofy shonen-style 'uguu' shit here and there. 
[close]

-The main character can be hooked into other systems and control them.  These become his body.  So he gets to control a giant tanker with guns and then in what appears to be a recurring thing, gets to sync up with and control a female android body (the half-naked GITS rip-off white haired chick).  Am wondering if the artwork shown in the trailer of a male mecha-suit looking thing ends up being a body he uses.

I like it so will check the anime out.

Watched this last night- the sound was off.  All the music is much louder than the dialogue.   :-\  Was a fun watch regardless.  I think I've only seen like one episode of City Hunter and the Jackie Chan movie (lol), but it was filled with music from the older shows and the Cat's Eye sisters make an appearance.

A Whisker Away - June 18, Netflix

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Whisker_Away

Seems very much up my alley. I love cats. I love crying. I love tales of people who can't seem to fit in.

And hey it's directed by Junichi Sato who is my man. I adore the ARIA series so so much. Not sure if people in this thread care about that. But he is also known for directing the first season of Sailor Moon and some of the second. I have never watched SM though.

Lupin III: The First is "out" (check Nyaa).  The subs are translated from Portuguese and aren't that great, so might be worth waiting if your moonspeak isn't up to par, but for the most part they're adequate.

The plot is very much something you've seen 100 times before, but it was a fun movie.  Visually it looks like a lower budget attempt to make a Pixar movie, but the animation is pretty good. 

Would love to know when it is supposed to take place- I thought it was maybe the 60s, but at one point they eat Cup Noodles and that product came out in 1971.
 :thinking

For some reason, there were also some scenes that kept making me think of Metal Gear Solid 3 and 5.   Jigen in this movie also kinda looks like Snake, lol.

Weirdly it's rated PG 13 despite multiple f-bombs and the shower scene.

There were two versions.  One had less swearing and the shower scene was cut- I thought that was the PG-13 one?

Anyway, this was a great movie for the time and what we should have gotten in U.S. theaters.  Other video game adaptions were generally crap- Fatal Fury The Motion Picture was good too, but I kind of don't count it as a game adaption since it has an original story and characters.

Then again, if there was no live-action movie, we never would have gotten these amazing scenes.

Idk I watched the version on tubi.tv, said it was PG 13, but it's the American dub with all violence, nudity, and language uncensored.

This was the cover from the original release.  They probably got the ratings wrong or something on that site.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/j5nmd4/jean-claude-van-damme-street-fighter-movie-cocaine-vgtrn

Quote
At the time he was struggling with a pretty serious cocaine addiction, snorting an estimated $10,000 worth of coke a week, and it allegedly made filming a nightmare.

Quote
"I couldn’t talk about it at the time, but I can now: Jean-Claude was coked out of his mind," de Souza told the Guardian. "The studio had hired a wrangler to take care of him, but unfortunately the wrangler himself was a bad influence. Jean-Claude was calling in sick so much I had to keep looking through the script to find something else to film; I couldn’t just sit around for hours waiting for him. On two occasions, the producers allowed him to go to Hong Kong, and both occasions he came back late—on Mondays he just wasn’t there at all.”

https://www.theguardian.com/games/2018/jul/16/inside-street-fighter-movie-jean-claude-van-damme-kylie-minogue

Quote
The rest of the actors recall a frustrating and bemusing experience. “He had the presidential suite at the hotel, with a gym put into his room,” recalls Seth. “Sometimes he wouldn’t turn up on set – the message would come through from him saying: ‘I have to pump up my muscles!’ and that was that.”

Quote
“It was extremely profitable for the studio – it cost $33m and made $105m, so it was good for everybody. People say it’s so dimwitted it’s funny, but we knew it was funny.

“How can you see that movie and think it’s funny by accident?”

You also get to see Kevin Nash act like he's Jamie Pressly's dad.

I love that Kevin Nash is playing a character who is clearly Hulk Hogan in the games, but in the movie is just...Kevin Nash.  Which is a very Kevin Nash kind of thing to do.

Plus it includes both Robin Shou (Liu Kang from MK) and Ryu from Street Fighter's live action movie turns out he played SF Ryu in something different playing Ryu Hayabusa. 10/10

Byron Mann played Ryu.  He's not in the DOA movie.  I don't get what you're saying here. :dizzy

And then looking this up, I found that Robin Shou also played Gen in that shitty Chun-Li movie.  :lol

I bought and watched New Cutey Honey on Blu-ray over the weekend for the first time. It's not as bonkers as Gainaix's Re: Cutey Honey, but it was still pretty good and had nice animation and production values. Unfortunately, the high production value is probably what caused it to end abruptly after eight episodes.

Hoping that Fire Force is better this season. S1 was interesting at the start, but I eventually started to realize how much style over substance or action it is. So many still shots where nothing happens.

If you enjoy Kill La Kill, check out the game (you should be able to find it for $15-$20 now).  Has a pretty good story mode with an alternate take on things as Satsuki.

It's another shonen anime show.  Just substitute fighting with cooking, but still works the same way, with ultimate techniques and all that kind of crazy shit.  Whenever people eat something amazing, it's represented by literal almost-orgasmic reactions and clothes exploding, lol.   It's pretty fun to watch and for once, the main character doesn't always win.

Also,this ending theme-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgPugPSl8WM

This is supposed to be from the perspective of a creepy stalker-chef girl obsessed with one of the other girls.  This is a minor character who isn't on the show much, but there are 1-2 episodes focused on her.  At the end of the this mini story arc, something happens to her character and the ending theme got updated to reflect this.   :lol  I can't find the video, but I just love that kind of attention to detail.

So playing the new Gundam Vs got me thinking that I haven't been following Gundam for a few years now since Iron Blooded Orphans finished. From what I can tell it's basically all shit since. Maybe will try to watch this and suffer:

-Thunderbolt S2
-Twilight Axis
-NT

Not sure how much I care about all the new Build Fighters series with Dive and Re: Dive. Wish they would stop doing all this kid stuff and get back to some regular Gundam series.

Netflix France has added 6 City Hunter OAVs which is great because I like it (though only through passing familiarity) and I get my Japan & 80's & Polar/Action fix in a neat, 80-90mn package.

I forgot it shared universe with Cat's Eyes which is another childhood favourite.

The first one I'm currently watching is City Hunter : Ai to shukumei no Magnum.

But Jesus at the horniness of Ryo Seaba and double entendres : I know it's core to it but if the #rapeculture was ever a thing it's certainly with this. :lol Ryo is sweating a police detective that owes him dates on the phone for leads and threatens to "collect his due right now" (Her response : "There's too many people here"). It's obviously good natured in the writing and he's also the gentlemanest white knight to ever live ultimately but I can see why someone would take exception to it.

Kaori best waifu obviously.

It is a bit dry and I don't think it lives up to its premise entirely. Good scenes (the protest and the sewer shootouts) but you can get the same in Akira in a much more compelling and rich feature. A shame because it's otherwise very on point on a technical and artistic level.

Was always curious about the manga and live action films.

Yeah I'm dropping this but with Transhuman saying Jin Roh is the oldest film they watched, not everyone will know about City Hunter.
The one I saw is .357 Magnum in English. A total trope fest, you'll probably never be surprised by any of the plot turns but it's well paced and it's more about the sleek sophistication of the visuals. Though I must say it's unfair to the writing, the characters (and especially the platonic love of Ryo and Kaori) is explored with some depth and put in perspective with others throughout the film with a good bit of thought and structure.

There was a recent French live action film of City Hunter (it's a cult piece of early 90's culture here). Didn't saw it and heard good and bad things about it but at least the trailer tells me I can't fault them for the effort.

City Hunter : Bay City Wars is only a 42mn affair and it's not as classy (or technically proficient) as the tale of love, spycraft and honour that was .357 Magnum. A disgraced Noriega-expy and his troops take over a Tokyo, computer-controlled "smart" hotel on inauguration night. Kaori is among the guests so our baddies can leverage this against Ryo when he walks into the situation without being aware of it... You probably guessed it's the obligatory Die Hard / Die Harder "homage". The plot is just thin enough you can hang an action romp around it and they really fast forward through story beats (maybe the translation makes it more stilted even ?) but they mix the action set pieces enough it's not too derivative of the source material.

I wanna say it was almost on the levels of Lupin here, in the late 90s early 2000s, in terms of popularity.
I assume it was big all over Europe at least.
For sure Hojo's most popular thing, even though Cat's Eye was also big, and i was partial to F.Compo, my brother had the manga and it was quite funny and charming.

I still get made fun of by family members to this day for the one (or two... maybe three I dunno) times I just sat down in the outfield looking at flowers and bugs. :doge

I could tell my dad wanted me to be into sports but it was just not happening back then :stahp

That said, I eventually grew up to (at one point) be the coach of my tech company's beer league softball team. Most of my drinking skills/problems stem from this time.

City Hunter : Secret Service has City Hunter being hired by a Fake South America ex-guerillero running for the presidency to secretly protect his estranged half-Japanese daughter who his part of the security detail provided by the Tokyo police.
I thought the art was below .357 Magnum though it suffers much less from the tiny head / beefcake dapper dads effect this time round. The pacing is less tight too and the plot get suspended for a while reel in the middle. Still a pretty decent action flick, City Hunter really hits that chord of pulp international intrigue and flair. Some great shots peppered in this, the details really elevate the production value (you have a cool shoot from inside the gasoline tank of the bullet ripping through then sinking lazily with a liquid distortion effect, for instance). Music is pretty good for its cheesiness.

Some McGuffin map has a "Riker River" and "Mount Picard".  :ryker

Starting ace of the diamond s2 tonight!

Beezy I highly suggest the anime for Major. It's about a single character and his trials as a baseball player from little lesguenon to the majors. It's my favorite sports anime/manga of all time. The sequel, Major 2nd, which stars his less talented son, is currently on Crunchyroll.

I watched major originally in 2008 or so. It made me fall in love with baseball. It's not on Crunchyroll and I don't even know if it's licensed.

https://youtu.be/MBJlLmHIXjg

I also suggest Touch. It's really old. It's by Adachi who made Cross Game. Touch is the best selling baseball manga in Japan of all time. I also suggest H2, made by the same author.

City Hunter : Goodbye my sweetheart has Ryo Saeba having to save the while Shinjuku district from a bitter ex-elite soldier who stole his plans from Speed, maybe even Die Hard with a Vengeance (it's from 1997). They end up having a duel on a train which all gave me some Cowboy Bebop : The Movie flashes... And how dated the animation looked in City Hunter. There's some good fun in this one with Ryo and the sex industry, Kaori has cool black outfits but the writing really fizzled by the last act, I'm still unclear what the bad guy was motivated by. The whole look retains some 80's touches but 1997 is a long way from there and I think it's a detriment to the distinctiveness.

City Hunter : Million Dollar Conspiracy made in 1990 is very of its time however. It's only 46mn long but better plotted than Bay City Wars. A mysterious blonde woman from America hires City Hunter as rumors of a hired killer arriving from L.A. is setting sights on him. There's explosive miniature vehicles, aviator glasses, corny synths and some very light Fall of Berlin Wall tones (plus a James Bond homage). Somehow Kaori always manage to slip her personal trauma in to have their client grow as a person but that wasn't the best it's been on weaving the character drama stuff in. That particular OAV does a good job having the perverted side of Ryo lingering in the second half action though.

I think I'm left with the Death of Ryo Saeba from 1999 for what is offered on Netflix.

City Hunter : The Death of Ryo Saeba has our perverted intrepid bodyguard crossing path with a broadcast empire so powerful it can deepfake manipulate images to fake news frame Ryo as an abducter. Produced in 1999, I'm gonna guess it's Tomorrow Never Dies (and a couple of others, it was a popular trope at the time). I think this one is slanted a lot more to comedy, or at least comedic scenes or touches. The plot also get really ludicrous even by City Hunter standards, too much so for my taste. Kaori has her black outfits tho  :-[ but get sidelined a lot here.

Though this one continues something I noted in most other : custom end credits (expected) and post credit zingers which are an endearing bit of polish.

Watched Beastars Season 1. Quite liked it. Animation style is absolutely gorgeous and the story and universe were interesting and compelling. Solid show.

Also watched the first season of Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure which I had never seen before despite being familiar with the property. It's obviously really fun and camp and a complete product of its time but that works for it. I'm not sure you would do a show /manga like that in 2020 but the fact that it predates our current era makes its charming.

The second arc with Jospeh is just completely ridiculous fun and he's a perfect lead for it.

it was like skypeia arc, except worse somehow

i remember i saw a poll on REE era that asked which was the better manga, one piece or hunter x hunter

bruh

the poll was split but obviously one piece is better, hunter x hunter needs like an editor or something

chimera ant arc was a mess, so many dumb useless characters! the stuff that actually mattered was good tho

also gon sucks ass

i love killua and kurapika, but given how much killua wants to be friends with a bonehead like gon, it brings killua down a notch, and makes kurapika my #1 :heartbeat

I wonder if that's really it?  The manga series ended up getting  three or four extra bonus epilogue chapters after it ended.  OVA coming?

Finished No Guns Life (ending was...eh) and Great Pretender (not done on Netflix 'Murica yet, got it from the Internet store), which had a good way of bringing everything full circle and everyone back, in a very Ocean's 13 kind of way.  Make sure to wait until after the credits in the last episode!

Binged Deca-Dence over the past day. The cyborg designs threw me off at first, but it was a good show overall.

Gonna try out Appare-Ranman or No Guns Life next. I'm just going through Hulu to see what anime they have available. I rarely ever use it. I should do the same with amazon prime which I also just about never use.

Watched the first Dragon Quest Dai last night- I don't remember the original series...is this a remake of it?  Seemed very late 80s/early 90s in style.

And then randomly tried The Misfit of Demon King Academy.  I wish they kept the full name, which is "The Misfit of Demon King Academy: History's Strongest Demon King Reincarnates and Goes to School with His Descendants."  :lol

The image Crunchyroll has for it looks like moe/harem crap, but...it isn't?  The main girl character looks like it and the main character's mom IS definitely like this, but holy shit did not expect this show to be so dark and violent, lol.  It looks like everything is going to be goofy, with talking cutesy owls and stuff, but then there's a battle to earn a spot in the academy and our titular demon king flicks his wrist to dismember the other guy, then brings him back to life, and repeats this over and over and over again until this character has been psychologically broken.  Then they go to his mom's mouse and MOEEEEEE for a minute or two.  Also the demon king is a teenager, but according to his mom is one month old.

Show stays solid throughout.

also re: hulu, they get a bunch of the funimation simulcasts, but they are currently hidden in the a-z section, so consult a chart.

Recommends from the current batch of new stuff:

Lol I already said on this page that I'm watching that next, but 12-13 episode seasons only take me 1-2 days to finish. I want more.

Edit: I didn't realize there were two seasons. The first one is dub only on Hulu while the second is subbed. This makes no sense.

It's a remake. The original never aired in America (we got a different DQ show based on one of the games, I remember watching it early Sunday mornings in syndication), but I've heard it was hugely popular in Europe, the Middle East, Brazil, etc. My daughter is really into Dragon Quest thanks to the Builders games, so I figured it might be something we could watch together.

Little Witch Academia is the first anime I've watched in a long time that felt like its strictly for kids, but I really enjoyed it. Especially the second season. I feel like most anime don't end well or leave too many loose ends, but the final episode here was pretty much perfect. Loved the ep with the nod to Gurren Lagann also.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2020-11-09/why-does-the-crunchyroll-original-series-ex-arm-look-so-awful/.166117

tl;dr They hired a director and head animator with experience in live-action, who decided they could do this better than anime animators by doing it like live-action and hired a production studio with virtually no experience [presumably so they wouldn't have any preconceived notions about how things are supposed to be done, I guess].

Rewatched Memories last night. All three parts are good, but man, Magnetic Rose is just :delicious

I watched this around the same time as you. Same impressions basically. :delicious Edit- For me it was a first watch tho


Memories (1995, dir. Katsuhiro Otomo)


"Magnetic Rose"

This is the longest short, and also the only one written by Satoshi Kon (though he didn't direct it.) The basic summary is "Ghost Ship, in space." A blue-collar spaceship salvage crew of four dudes, very much like the one in Aliens (if not in gender composition), get an SOS call from a derelict, rose-shaped space station, that pulls in debris via a strong magnetic field. The lines between scifi (holograms, computers, androids) and the paranormal (visions, ghosts, memories) is heavily blurred as soon as two of the crew enter the station to find survivors.

While the plot is a bit formulaic (like I said, it's a ghost ship story), it's livened up by various stylistic flourishes and constant reincorporation of imagery such as roses. I don't want to give too much away, but this one had me on the edge of my seat as soon as they entered the abandoned ship. Even before then, the script does a great job characterizing most everyone through just short exchanges of dialogue.

The operatic music is extremely thematically-relevant and obviously, works well in a space setting almost by default (thank you, Kubrick.) Some of the images from this one will stick with me for a while, and I actually grew to like a few of the characters despite the truncated short film-length (45 mins.)

The animation... :delicious mwah. Imagine Outlaw Star or Cowboy Bebop but 10x the budget. I was in love with the ships, the depiction of zero gravity, the internals of the Magnetic Rose ship, how flashlights play over the environment, the fluid human animation, hologram warbles and glitches, just everything. Most of the film is shot like a horror film and they completely pull it off.

Is there nothing Satoshi Kon can't make greater? I have my doubts.

5 / 5


"Stink Bug"

Spoilers ahead.

This short infuriated me, and also had the least interesting animation of the three. Essentially, a complete moron gets a flu shot because he's really sick, and then goes into work at a pharmaceutical company the same day. Then he takes an experimental, pre-market drug from his boss's office while his boss is out (his coworkers put him up to it to be fair, but still!) He doesn't even read the label or anything, just downs the pill and takes a nap.

He wakes up to find everyone in his office dead, and his boss's boss orders him to take some paper files (despite the internet existing and live video chat being commonplace??) about the drug he took back to HQ in Tokyo. You can see where this is going. He's essentially become a walking chemical WMD, and as he passes through cities, literally everyone dies. Tens of thousands of people are implied dead, with probably hundreds of on-screen bodies shown. He's so oblivious about this that even when he's captured by NASA at the end, he still doesn't realize how dangerous he is.

And also, nobody told him, I guess? The plot relies on literally everyone, from the 23-year old moron protagonist, to the head of the Japanese military, to the heads of the US military, to be absolutely stupid and incompetent. There's no real progression, and you can see where the short is going after only a few minutes.

The music is jazzy and funky and tries to play everything off like some whoopsie-daisy joke, but it never really lands. The animation is too realistic and the implications are too horrifying to really grasp. To top it off, this was loosely based on a true story (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Gloria_Ramirez). And that's without reading any modern-day Corona perspective into things, which drains even more of the potential humor out.

A failed black comedy that frustrated and annoyed me at almost every turn. The animation was still really good, but as I said, not as interesting as the other two shorts.

2 / 5


"Cannon Fodder"

This is the most threadbare of the shorts when it comes to plot, essentially putting you "a day in the life of" a family living in a city/nation that's waging perpetual war. The son wants to be a war hero, the dad is doing a 9-5 loading giant shells into giant cannons, and the mom is in the factory making munitions.

Animation-wise, this stands out from the other two due to a heavy Eastern European influence, and a commitment to show everything in one "long take." Obviously, this is trivial to do in animation compared to live action, but it still gives you an interesting "God's-eye view" of this family's day.

Thematically, the messages are "war is bad" and "jingoism ain't it, son," and none of the characters change or grow or question the status quo. There's hints of unrest in the society at large, but it's downplayed and forgotten quickly.

The music is also weird but appropriate here. I really felt immersed in this other world, and it reminded me of the Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon," just with real war instead of computer-war.

If there were a bit more substance, or even slightly more interesting world-building (there's a reference that "the enemy's" city is moving, Mortal Engines style, but nothing like that is ever shown), I'd be much warmer on it. A little too much style over substance.

3 / 5


Overall, definitely worth watching. I'd probably give the entire package a 4 / 5.


Addendum 1: Short Peace

The director of Magnetic Rose mentioned he was deciding between two different manga that Otomo did: Magnetic Rose (of course), and "Farewell to Weapons."

I looked up Farewell to Weapons (originally published in 1981), and it itself was later adapted as part of another anime anthology film in 2013: Short Peace (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Peace).

You can see two minutes of it here:

https://vimeo.com/167908232

That got me thinking... I wonder if the autonomous laser-shooting tanks in this were a partial inspiration for Breath of the Wild's Guardians. Probably not, I assume such tanks may be common in Japanese media, but the timeline isn't completely mismatched.

Fun to think about.


Addendum 2: Suda51

The rabbit hole deepens... Goichi Suda and Grasshopper made a PS3 game as part of Short Peace.

THIS blew my mind though. They were basically maxing out what traditional animation was capable of. Insane.

IIRC we only got the game (which I have yet to play, but it's super-short and can be finished in 30 minutes) digitally over here.  I imported a copy of the UK version, which contains the game and all four short films on the disc. 

Edit: Looks like the U.S. release also has the movies.

My X-mas present to myself this year.


https://imgur.com/a/Z7qAH9T

I know Seed is'nt popular with American fans, but honestly I'm a weird Gundam fan. I really like the AU shows way more then anything after the first series(origin is the best version). I like them mostly because they aren't tied to having to try and be REAL Gundam and can do different things. Seed is also pretty special to me. Wing was big for me as a kid. And Seed was big for me as a teenager. Watched it as a young teen and it's teen angst and whatnot really resonated with me.

I finally watched all of Seed and Seed Destiny a few years ago. Mech designs and fights are cool. Teen angst drama was  ::), but not enough to make me drop it. They were entertaining. Lowkey feel like I watched it so I could better decide which Gunpla kits to buy.

Fyi they showed what happened to InuYasha and Kagome ~10 years ago in the sequel series Yashahime.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Sesshomaru is basically playing Snape and swooped them both up into a Shikon jewel-like pearl. Ostensibly to "take them out" as partnership with the new Big Bad Kirinmaru but really to save their asses (probably.) Moroha gets raised by Toga and the wolf clan, which makes so much sense. :lol
[close]

Also they confirmed Rin is the protag sisters' mom which means Sesshy really did smang the loli that hung out with him for half OG series. :doge Presumably after she aged up a bit but still, ew.

High Rise Invasion is ridiculous and amazing and everyone should watch it. Looking forward to the 2nd season.

Pacific Rim Black is okay and has potential I guess. The 3D animation isn't janky so I approve. Hopefully these first few eps were just like a setup or something and future seasons will be more exciting.

4 eps left until I'm done with Noblesse and I'm guessing it wasn't too popular? 5 years old and still no 2nd season?
Edit: Nvm, it just aired last fall. Google fail on my part.

Not sure what I'll watch next, but I'm going for short to mid length shows that are streaming on one of the popular services. Nothing with a 100+ episodes for me right now.

Yashahime: Half-Demon Princess

Just watched episode 23 which was basically a plot dump, then I learn watching the preview that 24 is apparently the last episode?!?

A lot of people are pulling for a “season 2” but this has gotten TERRIBLE reviews and even reactions from the InuYasha fanbase. I don’t see how a season 2 happens, which means episode 24 is truly the series finale.

“Sesshomaru’s Daughter” is the final episode’s title. The references and bits of fanservices to the old series have been fun and appealing, not gonna lie, but I didn’t think it’d be over so soon. If this 24 episode series is all I have to judge, Yashahime is a startling failure compared to InuYasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale.

Ha, speaking of Togashi. I had to look this up, I always forget about that first Toguro appearance lol. I always think of the Dark Tourney first.

FWIW Togashi's inclusion and depiction of Alluka in the latter part of HxH is refreshing for trans representation in any media. She's been one of my favorite characters partly for that reason.

Despite Yusuke's dealing of her (he's supposed to be pigheaded in any case), Miyuki of the Triad also offered a surprisingly nuanced and sympathetic view for something from the 90's (reminds me of Bill Murray's char in Ed Wood.)

Yeah the pacing really grabs you. Even if you're not feeling a particular arc you never have to wait too long. And I love how everything kinda builds on eachother naturally (character relationships, worldbuilding, plot developments, etc.), it always feels like there's real consequences because we get to see various permanent status quo changes. HxH takes that to another level actually lol (with pacing sometimes suffering in comparison.)

spoiler (click to show/hide)
One minor detriment: the fan in me loves that Genkai gets brought back but the storyteller is a bit disappointed -- her death was *so* well done. And IIRC she had served pretty much her whole purpose by then too, and doesn't do much after she comes back.

Was hesitant to watch Shadows House because it looked like it was going to be ultra-cutesy uguuuuu~ every day life in weird gothic house, and while it initially is exactly this, it turns into something much more and the story hooked me enough that I went and read up to chapter 45 of the manga series.  What's going on is pretty predictable, but the politics of the house kind of change things up.

Edens Zero: Was wondering what happened to this- turns out that Netflix got it.  Not going to wait for half of or the entire season to finish before Netflix 'Murica puts it up, so watching fansubs.  I enjoy the manga series- it's nothing new and is very much more One Piece-style story from the same guy who did the "also like OP" Groove Adventure Rave/Ravemaster and Fairy Tail mangas.  Even has the same blue cat from FT.

Yeah the pacing really grabs you. Even if you're not feeling a particular arc you never have to wait too long. And I love how everything kinda builds on eachother naturally (character relationships, worldbuilding, plot developments, etc.), it always feels like there's real consequences because we get to see various permanent status quo changes. HxH takes that to another level actually lol (with pacing sometimes suffering in comparison.)

spoiler (click to show/hide)
One minor detriment: the fan in me loves that Genkai gets brought back but the storyteller is a bit disappointed -- her death was *so* well done. And IIRC she had served pretty much her whole purpose by then too, and doesn't do much after she comes back.

I still need to watch the Blu-ray special from a few years back!
I finished the Dark Tournament yesterday and I agree with your spoiler, but I also understand that this was long before killing off a main character was acceptable.

Megalo Box' second season is hitting all the right spots. Dealing with somewhat more mature subject matter.

Music still hitting the spot as well.

Also Gundam Seed movie happening.

I’m excited even though I can see it now:

Newly created villains with really no time to develop them.

New villains cause chaos that brings the Earth and Zaft to war.

An hour of checking in on the whole cast.

Kira and Athurn team up and defeat the villain while telling them their cynicism is wrong.

The plot will probably be boring, but I’m excited.

But is there ever going to be a new Gundam AU show?

Finished rewatching the first season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex for the first time since the DVDs came out. Still a fantastic show, but it's a shame the Blu-Rays are a bit jank (the only subtitles are English Closed Captions, wtf?) Oh well, it was only $15 at Wally-World.

Also, RIP Origa. I probably knew about it at the time, but I'd forgotten that she died of cancer in 2015.

I heard Hathaway's Flash is ripped w/subs on the internet if you don't want to wait until July 1st for Netflix. I'm lazy and don't care so I'll wait for Netflix.

More surprisingly I hear the movie is actually very good and the best quality Gundam since IBO. Which uhh, I did not expect since I skimmed the novel back in the day and it was pretty whatever outside some cool mechs. Apparently this diverges a lot from the novel and does its own thing and does it well.

Looking forward to it.

Well I was wrong about that. Don't know where I got it that Thunderbolt staff was involved.

Still, I just watched it and I actually thought it was pretty solid. And this is coming from someone who doesn't consider themselves a traditional Gundam fan. I like Gundam a lot actually, but find most western fans takes on it to be pretty bad. I don't think UC gundam is the end all be all and in fact, I find a lot of it bad. Zeta is poorly paced and filled with non-human characters. I like the AU series because they can have unique spins on Gundam.

That said, I thought this movie was very good.

So all the Gundam: Hathaway's Flash praise was pretty bullshit.

Back in the day I read the summary of the novels and boy were they fucking stupid and edgy in a Mark Millar Gundam way. And yep, while the directing/animation/art is pretty good here, the story & script are just dumb as shit. There is no way to make this story any good. Also crazy nonsense talking gundam girl is pretty annoying archetype in 2021.
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Bebpo on July 03, 2021, 03:14:05 AM
Also, my recollection of Hathaway's Flash every time it was in a videogame was just people yelling MAFTY! every couple mins.

Movie is pretty much the same.
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Rahxephon91 on July 03, 2021, 03:27:24 AM
I didn't really find it edgy. While the female character is bad in a Tomino way, I guess I wasn't annoyed because she clearly is serving a function.

I don't know, I liked Hathaway as kind of naive protagonist whose clearly not that great at this whole thing. That's what was compelling to me.
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Bebpo on July 03, 2021, 03:37:03 AM
It's edgy in a 1989 Tomino kill-them-all depression where he thinks a great concept for a sequel to CCA is what if Bright Noa's kid became a terrorist leader because he's so fucked in the head from living through the various OG wars (including Quess damage from CCA).

Which is just a stupid af story concept. I mean CCA was already pretty trash outside the fights/animation, especially the Quess stuff.

He's not even a smart terrorist like Char. He's like "durrr, I'm gonna kill the federation heads and then humanity will all agree with me to go to space!", it's just a really dumb plot idea overall.

It also doesn't go anywhere from what I remember and the ending is fucking stupid.

And the Xi Gundam and Penelope Gundam are both pretty terrible ugly Gundam designs. 

I feel like there's a reason they sat on these novels for 20+ years before deciding to adapt them. They're just bad. Even for Gundam bad.
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Rahxephon91 on July 03, 2021, 04:33:50 AM
I'm not seeing that.

I don't think that is edgy in itself. My takeaway is that Hathaway is clearly a kid that has grown up with legends and these ideas his whole life. He's a product of the UC and has been living with the concept of Newtypes and whatnot much more than the average person. People like Armuro and Char are real to him, even though yes in CCA he didn't spend that much time with them. But it's clear to me he is very close to the myths of those characters. I mean wasn't it Armuro who "spoke" to him before he takes charge of the Gundam. He's a guy who kind of seems like he doesn't know what he's doing.

This story seems to be the aftermath of CCA and as someone who was directly involved, it makes sense that a story would focus on how that entire era has left the next generation. So I don't think it's a stupid concept.

I also don't think he's supposed to be a smart terrorist. You have the scene on Earth where the cab driver is telling him this whole conflict is pretty dumb and pointless. You have Kenneth comparing Mafty to Char and how naive and arrogant it is. And Kenneth isn't 100% framed as a villain either. You also have Hathaway make dumb choices because not only can he not read people, he also seems unsure about being Mafty. He also still has feelings about Quess, which sure an annoying character, but still understandably left a mark. Gigi may also be annoying, but she's supposed to remind him of Quess. She also underlines his insecurity when compared to Kenneth.

I feel like the Penelope pilot is another mirror, especially in dialogue where Kenneth says "this could have been you" basically. Like yeah, Hathaway you could have been an ace Federation pilot, but you're becoming an idiot.

I don't know where it will go. I read the summaries from a blog that claimed the "famous dark ending" isn't exactly what it's always said to be online. It still sounds a bit overdramatic, but I liked the movie because it seems to be smaller scale, but also focused on a character that I feel is interesting because of how flawed they are. I'm not a big UC head and I am someone who enjoys themes and can gloss over plot. I liked the direction in this and felt like it had a more realistic direction than other UC shows. I don't know, I enjoyed it.

I loved the first Hathaway's Flash film and kinda thought your complaints about Hathaway and Mafty in general are essential to the plot. He's trying to be Amuro but also idealistic like Char and it's highly problematic (he looks like Amuro, dresses like him on the outside layer but then he has the deep red vest underneath), along with his trauma suffered during the events of CCA. He's also a product of privilege and being allowed to chase his ideals regardless of whether the regular person even cares (ie. the conversation with the taxi driver).

I basically agree with this takeaway, but couldn't sum it up so succinctly.  Like it's pretty clear he's struggling with his ideals, and the actual wants and needs of the _engine_ he's set in motion.  It's also clear there are bad actors co opting his movement, further muddying the waters of public perception.  I'll have to check out this av club article soon, thanks for the link.


Edit:
I think the article unravels a little at the end, but it's mostly on the mark
The bit about burning bridges etc isn't actually what's going on, from what I could tell, he resolves to follow through with his plans, but it's clearly stated that the only reason he was where he was is because of another weird ideal he holds which is
spoiler (click to show/hide)
wanting to see / meet / interact with the politicians he's out to kill because he doesn't want his victims to be faceless to him.

For anyone more familiar with the game - Is the Shenmue anime looking like it's covering the first game?  Is there stuff from all 3 so far?  Might it have an ending where the original never will, y'know, like X TV or something.....?

Wonder if chainsaw man is gonna be 2021 or will slip to 2022.

I've rewatched Hunter X Hunter, Bleach Naruto and Eyeshield 21 recently the Ninja war arc is such a fucking mess, like all over the god damn place.

As for Bleach, it ends so weirdly, I cannot believe how many filler eps there are for those two especially. I have basically just used filler lists so I skip that shit.

Hunter X Hunter is so good, cannot wait for that to return either. Although the Ant saga is such a weird way to end things lol.

Sometimes I think about Gundam Iron-Blood Orphans and how that was the last great anime I've seen and that was 2015.

Has there been a single anime TV series that's had a better story/ending than that in the last seven years? IBO was like the Game of Thrones of anime and I've never seen anything before or after like it which is part of why I love it so much even if it has a weak filler arc period in the middle. The last 13ep arc is just red wedding the anime.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
I can't think of anything outside maybe sports anime where the main characters are heading towards a goal the entire story and then they LOSE and the ending goal instead changes to trying to survive the fallout of losing. That everything they've fought for and built towards is lost because instead of being tropey anime it's bitter realism like Game of Thrones and sometimes you make a bet and you bet wrong and that wrong bet costs them everything.

Works even better in IBO since they're mercs for hire, so the larger decisions aren't even theirs. They simply backed the wrong boss in the end and lose it all. It's really impactful and an awesome conclusion. The final showdown with the MC buying time for his friends to get out while the main gundam and him get shredded and they hold up his gundam's head in victory is really good.

Finished watching Watanabe's Carole & Tuesday S2. It's no Bebop or Champloo, but it's better than Kids on the Slope and overall pretty much fine. It plays it incredibly safe in every aspect and its biggest issue is everything is pretty shallow but it's entertaining and feel good. Generally good character designs and art. Music was ok.

Also it starts to become a Gundam show at some point in S2.

Indiana Court of Appeals rules in favor of watching anime on YouTube:
Quote from: https://reason.com/volokh/2022/03/04/suggestion-of-sexual-conduct-alone-cannot-constitute-obscenity/
Forbidden by the terms of his probation from accessing obscene material, Michael Bedtelyon landed in hot water with his probation officer after watching sexually suggestive anime cartoons. The court concluded the material constituted obscenity and revoked four years of Bedtelyon's suspended sentence. On appeal, Bedtelyon argues that the State failed to prove the videos constituted obscenity as defined by statute. We agree….

Bedtelyon was convicted of Level 4 felony sexual misconduct with a minor for criminal acts he committed with a 14-year-old girl he met on a dating app. After serving part of his eight-year sentence, Bedtelyon was released on probation. As a term of his probation, Bedtelyon was "prohibited from accessing, viewing, or using internet websites and computer applications that depict obscene matter as defined by [the Indiana obscenity statute]."

Through software required by the terms of his probation, Bedtelyon's probation officer learned that Bedtelyon had viewed several anime videos on YouTube with concerning titles, including: My Mother and Sister Pretend to Be Expecting My Babies After I Lost My Memory; I Seduced My Cousin and Let Him Do Everything He Wanted; and I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy. After viewing these videos, Bedtelyon's probation officer determined they were obscene and therefore violated the terms of Bedtelyon's probation….
Quote
The videos were not admitted into evidence, and we cannot determine that the court actually viewed them. Instead, the court relied on the testimony of Bedtelyon's therapist and probation officer who watched the videos and obliquely described the content. Their testimony reveals that the cartoons feature "provocatively dressed," though never naked, women. The animated characters all experience incestuous attraction. Overall, the evidence suggests that these videos might have erotic themes, are erotic in tone, and describe erotic feelings. But the State did not present evidence that sexual conduct as defined by statute was depicted or described, rather than merely implied.

In the first video, My Mother and Sister Pretend to Be Expecting My Babies After I Lost My Memory, the titular mother and sister pretend to care for their shared brother and son. Bedtelyon's probation officer testified, "At some point he impregnated them both and they were carrying his children." {Bedtelyon testified that neither woman was actually pregnant, which the video's title corroborates. Considering only the evidence in favor of the judgment, however, we accept Bedtelyon's probation officer's description here.} The sister "was clearly in love with him."  These details suggest that the video heavily implies incestuous sex but not that such sex was depicted or described. This is so even though two of the characters become pregnant. Without evidence that the video showed or recounted the act leading to conception, we cannot say the video depicted or described sexual conduct.

The second video, I Seduced My Cousin and Let Him Do Everything He Wanted, features an "attractive" sixteen-year-old girl telling a story about her crush on her sixteen-year-old male cousin. "After great efforts of trying to seduce [him], he ended up spending the night with her cuddling, kissing all over."  The two begin dating and wrangle with how to disclose their relationship to their family. Again, none of the actions depicted or described satisfy the statutory definition of "sexual conduct." "Kissing all over" could describe "other sexual conduct"—namely mouth to genital contact—but it could also describe behavior squarely outside the bounds of the Sexual Conduct Statute. Where multiple witnesses testified that the characters were never nude, and there was no testimony that any character exhibited their genitals, it is too great a deductive leap to determine that this testimony describes the sexual conduct the Obscenity Statute was intended to reach.

The third video, I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy, stars sextuplets, the seventh of which identifies as a boy. {Careful readers will notice that sextuplets are only six, not seven, siblings. The record contains no explanation for this discrepancy.} By the end of the video, two of his sisters fall in love with him.

They are feeling his bulgy muscles. They are continuously all over their brother to the point where they make him feel uneasy about the situation. They end up sleeping in his room … And I think at the very end of the video, the brother wakes up and actually finds his two sisters in bed with him. And, you know … they are sitting there smiling.

This video, too, fails to depict or describe anything more than implied sexual intercourse. That the sisters were "all over" their brother and "in bed with him" alone is not "sexual conduct" as defined by statute. The content is certainly suggestive, but suggestion of sexual conduct alone cannot constitute obscenity. If sexual suggestion alone triggered the Obscenity Statute, censors could train their scopes on clearly constitutional expression, from great literature to soap operas to internet memes.

Bedtelyon's probation officer conceded that the type of sexual conduct forbidden by statute was left to the viewer's imagination, describing the videos as largely "thought provoking" and "intended to … provoke … deviate thinking." Bedtelyon's therapist testified that the videos were concerning because their content "feeds that deviate fantasy."  But matters that encourage deviate thinking are not necessarily obscene—which Bedtelyon's probation officer also acknowledged when he testified, "I guess where I said obscene maybe doesn't necessarily make it illegal." Here, the probation officer is right. The United States Supreme Court has limited regulation of obscene materials to those that "depict or describe patently offensive 'hard core' sexual conduct specifically defined by the regulating state law, as written or construed." …

The Initial D car popped up for sale in GT7 and I remembered my friend who was really into Initial D. That was in high school. Those were VHS fansubs.

Fuck, Initial D is old. Doesn't feel like that long ago, just feels like Naruto/Bleach kind of times, but it is. Makes me feel old.

Never knew anybody else who watched the anime. But between the arcade game and music, friends were oddly big into Initial D as a broader franchise. Goes hand to hand with general car culture passion of the time.

Saw one of those on the street in Osaka last week. That’s impressive when one considers the “sha-ken” scam that the government uses to pressure Japanese people to buy newer cars.

I remember going to an anime club when I was in HS. It was in a gym or community center, and they were watching laserdiscs imported from Japan by the senior members of the club, and VHS decks were daisy-chained from the LD player, with the "junior" members of the club having their VHS decks on cable splitters, further generations away from the source. I enjoyed the anime, but there was clearly some geek hierarchy they were trying to enforce, so I never went back.

Power Antoinette 2022

"If the people don't have bread, let them pump iron!"

The queen's proclamation echoed across the Place de la Révolution. Chased from her palace and sent to the executioner's block, Marie Antoinette exploded in anger at the people who were basking in the euphoria of the Revolution. The people she loved were no more.

The muscular queen (of France) Marie destroyed the executioner's block and confronted the revolutionary horde, wielding the guillotine she had taken from them!

"I am France. The one and only France."

This is a story of rebirth. Muscles only become stronger after it has been injured.
The story of the strongest queen who reversed the French Revolution with her own strength!

Japan loves bringing nostalgic items back. There are even many modern cars here which are designed to look like models from 3 to 4 decades ago.

Dragonball Z Kai is basically a retelling / re-edit for clarity, remastering, bringing to a current audience with current attention-level constraints.

Evangelion is being trotted out again and again, trying to tell the same story repeatedly.

Urusei Yatsura here is just re-doing the series, from what I can see. Maybe it's like DBZ Kai, and a retelling with a purpose.

About a million years ago I was majorly into Trigun. I’m of that generation. The old anime adaptation took liberties and diverged from the manga. Thinking this’ll be a Hellsing, FMA Brotherhood, and HxH 2011 type of re adaptation sticking to the letter.

Can't tell if this is gonna do a version of the manga story. Some people are saying it might just be a prequel story of Vash & Knives leading up to the anime. Which could be fine but still would be a shame not to do a proper Trigun series like FMA Brotherhood. I guess they can gauge interest with a prequel season?

Yu-Gi-Oh! was an absolute pillar of my childhood. The anime was meme heaven that birthed YGO The Abridged Series, the manga's influence is still felt today, and the TCG gobbled probably too much of my childhood time and money. And I still play -- Master Duel on Switch and Steam has been amazing. But we're never getting that DSOD sequel now (one of my favorite anime films ever). :(

Catching up on some of the (bad) more recent Gundam I've skipped. Finally watched Gundam NT/Narrative.

So, it wasn't as bad as I expected. I thought the action was generally good. The story is nonsense, but then so was Unicorn and that was alright. The mechs were all just crappy clones of Unicorn or ugly like the Phoenix Gundam. Movie was ok enough I guess, but it really felt like it needed more room to breathe/develop the story/cast. I think this was the one where it was supposed to be a full length show and got truncated into a 90 min movie? Definitely feels like it.

Also pretty sure F91 was same deal. Bad movie, nice animation, meant to be a TV show and instead is a super rushed movie without much development.

Gonna watch Twilight Axis next. At least it's only 26 mins...

Gundam Twilight Axis was pretty bad. Originally released as a bunch of web shorts that were 3 mins each, I watched the compilation movie and the pacing is really terrible obviously due to 3 min ep limitations. Pretty hard to follow and more ugly mecha designs (coffin gundam is super bad). Oh well.

...Demand for animated content has grown consistently over the last several years, making up just over 7 percent of the total global demand share for content in 2020, according to research firm Parrot Analytics, where I work as director of strategy. On top of that, demand for adult-oriented animation and adult-oriented anime has consistently grown, with a projected global market share of $43.73 billion by 2028, according to global marketing research firm Brand Essence.

- The Saiyans power greatly increased every time they survived a near death experience
- Once Goku figured out how the Super Saiyan transformation worked the others could train to achieve the same
- Mixed race Saiyans are stronger than pure blood Saiyans (Gohan/Goten/Trunks)
- The Hyberbolic Time Chamber sped up their training even more so than the conditions on Namek did

If anybody else reads One-Punch Man, sounded like Murata might stop soon. Or take a long break. It’s an unusual undertaking. Covering and expanding One’s web comic. People got mad about it.

Anyway, in the last issue they announced One-Punch Man anime season 3 is coming. And Hollywood is making a live action movie.

Lavi is a girl born and raised in North Ambria State, the poorest region in the northwestern part of Zemuria.

To protect her hometown, and to prove she is different from her grandfather Vlad—who was once hailed as a hero, but betrayed North Ambria—she volunteers to serve in the renowned Northern Jaegers, the largest jaeger corps in the continent.

Devoted to her duties to the point that she repeatedly breaches discipline, Lavi is grouped into a platoon with Marty, Iseria, and Talion and ordered to undertake a reckless undercover mission into the Erebonian Empire.

It's gundam with an Utena coat of paint on it, 100%, but it's Gundam first, Utena second. 

I've watched all 3 eps so far and counterpoint to Rahx's take, I like it a lot.  The setting for the school is that it's a rich kid's school for spoiled corporate children, and a the head of a megaconglomerate runs it as a weird mechanism to determine his daughter's would-be suitor, the bride, if you will.  A minor spoiler that sold me during ep 1, was when one of the fathers of the dueling children has to

call off an assassination on the Bride's father because his kiddo lost a duel, and his power play only works if he's the current champ.

The mechanics of the duels and whatnot might be subject to change, as they seem to be at the whim of a calculating "what I say goes" type, who's willing to change the rules if he sees fit.  All 3 eps have been very different so far (prologue included).

Thought this was going to have a late 70s/early 80s setting, but Ataru is using a smart phone.  Guess they're just going to retell the same stories from before and add in some modern touches here and there?

The Complicated Man Who Made 'Rudolph' (https://animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-complicated-man-who-made-rudolph)

(https://i.imgur.com/d7bjrJS.jpg)

Quote
But there’s a unique fact about Rudolph, tied to its creation. The kind of fact that’s famous enough to inspire did-you-know articles every December — but obscure enough that those articles surprise a large audience each time. The fact is: Rudolph was outsourced to Japan. Its concept, songs, voices and storyboard came from America and Canada. The animation and puppets were done in Tokyo.

Back then, outsourced animation was booming for the first time. Rocky and Bullwinkle had been animated in Mexico a few years before. Tom and Jerry got shipped off to Czechoslovakia in the early ‘60s. The outsource artists on these productions were a diverse, unexpected bunch, who had their own views about the situation.

Yet maybe none were so unexpected, or so fierce in their views, as Tadahito Mochinaga — the leader of Rudolph’s animation team in Japan. At the time, he was a member of the Japanese Communist Party. His ties to Maoist China were close, and his opinion of America’s influence was low.

Watched Dragonball Super: Super Hero or whatever it's called over the weekend.  It was all right.  Props to them for once again focusing on characters other than Goku and Vegeta like some of the older DBZ movies did.  The shift to 3D was great and it still retained that Toriyama style very well.  They spent entirely too much time in the beginning introducing the bad guys (Red Ribbon, back again) and setting up the plot.  Like way, way too much time. 

But then it shifted to Piccolo and was mostly focused on him.  Cool seeing him finally get a new (visible) transformation and Gohan too, but apparently this may not be canon which kinda sucks if true.  Pretty much everyone pops up in this film and they still manage to cram in Goku and Vegeta (training fight on Beerus' planet) with Broly there for pretty much no reason whatsoever.

Started watching TV anime again for the first time in like 15 years.

Trails of - The Northern War ep1 - Nothing happens, so it feels like the games. Wasn't particularly bad and I definitely expected it to be bad (there is a Trails in the Sky anime OAV. It is not good). Will keep watching.

Trigun Stampede Ep1 - Man, I forgot how one of the things Guilty Gear is inspired by is Trigun, so now as CG anime Trigun sure looks a hell of a lot like Guilty Gear Strive. Which is cool, I like how Strive looks. Pretty nice looking ep, seems like a re-imagining of the manga. No idea if it'll be any good, but seems to have a nice budget. Will keep watching.

Nier Automata Ep1 - Weirdly enough this anime is like a 1:1 recreation of the beginning of the game. To the point where it's like why am I watching this? It's just like watching someone play the game. I wish they had at least done Replicant instead of Automata since the cast is so much better than boring emotionless dolls, but Automata's the popular one, so eh. Will at least watch through the Circus stage. Glad the anime is using the game soundtrack.

Gundam Witch From Mercury Ep1 - Was enjoyable. I liked it more than ep0 which I didn't like to much. The school thing is kinda yawn, but the mecha action animation at the end of the ep with the duel was pretty badass. Ariel is pretty crazy if the main gundam has fucking fin funnels from the start.

Did you already watch the prologue episode? You should if you haven't.

You should also check out some recent ones from the fall season like Blue Lock and Chainsaw Man.

Yeah, I saw that when it came out. Crunchyroll calls it ep0. I thought it was ok. Wasn't bad, but didn't think it was great. I thought ep1 of the actual show was way better.

Bleach Thousand War is actually pretty good.

To set it up, Bleach’s anime fizzled out in its day. Loads of filler. Animation like dragging clip art across the screen. The final arc of the manga wasn’t adapted. It wasn’t great either. Same pattern and motions of every previous arc. Wow you’re telling me there’s another secret organization and Ichigo has another super hidden talent? Shaking things up.

That last arc is what this new series is adapting. It’s got some production quality behind it. Stylish and well animated fights. The story is what it is but it’s been cleaned up. Mostly what helps for me is the nostalgia after being away from it for a decade.

Similarly I saw they’re doing a new Kenshin anime, presumably animating the last arc that only got an abridged adaptation in one of the movies. Controversy with the creator didn’t slow them down.

Think I’ve forgotten, gotten, or stopped caring about these other white whale adaptations. Really it’s down to a good Berserk series (outside of golden age).

Speaking of Berserk, the Golden Age remake is good based on the first 3 episodes that I've seen so far. It's mostly 2D and then some 3D for seemingly for the large scale battles. Nothing like that shitty full 3D Berserk anime that's out there.

Does the tv show version add anything? I thought the 1st movie was petty bad.

Anyway, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in regards to Witch and just general anime community discourse. I hate Witch From Mercury. It's been one of the most  idiotic shows I've watched, but people tell me I'm stupid and there's this grand plot and things boiling in the background. I'm done with FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood which is often considered one is the best anime ever and wow could I not disagree more. I've never considered myself a contriaian, but recently is just seems my taste and opinions are so out of line with most that I'm just confused.
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Bebpo on January 11, 2023, 02:29:44 PM
Well, I'll let you know if I join the hater crowd for Witch. Watched ep2 last night and was still fine.

What other Gundam shows do you dislike? Because I pretty lenient on most Gundam stuff and enjoy it. About the only thing I didn't like was Gundam AGE because it was boring and I didn't like the first Hathaway movie much outside the great animation. Even G Reconguista was a lot of fun and Gundam NT wasn't that bad.

Oh and that one that was 3 minute episodes was so terrible (Twilight Axis I think?), but that's mostly because 3 min eps was fucking stupid and even the combined 24min episode version doesn't work.

I still haven't watched Thunderbolt S2, The Origin (read the manga though) and I've only seen parts of V though I know the whole story.

Finished G Witch.

That was a...surprisingly good show? Maybe I just had low expectations because of the school setting and duels potentially making it low stakes but I don't think there was a bad ep. They had good stakes on every fight, the characters were good and the story stuff was solid. The finale was pretty good too.

Also I wasn't big on Aerial's design initially, but it grew on me and ep12 Aerial looks great. Maybe not big on the thruster design, can't tell yet.

The only complaint I have this whole season is the badguy Gundams are ugly and boring. They look straight out of those 3 annoying badguys from SEED or DESTINY can't remember which mixed with some Wing like the gattling gun that Heavyarms has.

I was somewhat disappointed in ep12's finale since

spoiler (click to show/hide)
They didn't kill them off so we have to have another whole season of these annoying kids and their ugly gundams.

Also made the very short Aerial fight kinda feel half-assed. Would've been better if it was a longer fight and killed at least one of the ugly gundams.

The post-credit smackdown kinda made up for a bit although the whole OH NO MORIENE IS NOW GOING TO BE SCARED OF SULETTA! thing going into S2 is kind of lame.
[close]

Hopefully the show is a full 4 seasons for near full 50ep length Gundam. Definitely has potential.

Oh and I need to rewatch ep0 but spoilers

spoiler (click to show/hide)
So the little red head girl in ep0 isn't Suletta, right? Because that was 21 years ago and Suletta is like 16 so she wouldn't have even been born. Since the tarot reading girl dropped a hint that Aerial has a sister and baby girl was in the Elan fight when they went all Newtype, I'm assuming that the little girl became the ghost in the machine and a few years later her mom had Sulleta so Sulleta is piloting a gundam with the ghost of her older sister in it.

And since her mom has the Char mask, she's obviously gonna be the main bad at some point.

Trigun Stampede 2/3 - Great animation but I don't like how it's directed. Feels slow and low energy and found these eps pretty boring in execution.

Trails of Northern War 2/3 - This show has noooo budget and lots of still frame bad art, but somehow it's capturing the feel of a Trails game? I think people that at least played through Cold Steel 3 would enjoy this.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of people saying Trigun went hard and people love it in ep3 but like I'm guessing all these people never read the manga?

That was the main complaint with the original anime. It was very tame standard shounen tone that diverged from the manga by midway and did its own thing. I enjoyed it, but if you read the manga, it's a way more violent fucked up body horror seinen manga. It's no Berserk or anything, but it's pretty violent and mean spirited/dark.

Ep3 didn't surprise me because once the Gung-Ho-Guns and Knives show up, every story is full of violence and death as they mentally torture Vash to try to break his no killing rule.

I just wish the show as directed better. For all the brutality, I just found ep3 really dull to watch. I don't normally watch CG animation shows, so maybe it's just inherent in the medium but it just felt like every scene was animated in slow motion. Very slow.

The best scenes so far in the show have been the high-octane speeds like some bits of Ep1 and in Ep2 there's a chase where Vash is running through 3d environment and it looks really nice. Trigun is supposed to be a high-octane sci-fi western.
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Himu on January 22, 2023, 01:35:32 PM
Fascinating. I thought Trigun sucked honestly and didn't even know it had a manga. Figured it was a wack Bebop rip off. I pegged it as the most overrated anime of the 90's when I was like 16. All this hype and that was it?
Title: Re: Anime-Booru Desu~ |OT|
Post by: Bebpo on January 22, 2023, 01:46:29 PM
Yeah, for whatever reason I feel like Trigun Maximum manga is pretty lowkey barely acknowledged in the west. People don't talk about it like FMA or Berserk. Maybe it was just the timing and manga wasn't big in the west at the time?

I liked, but didn't love, Trigun Maximum. It thought it got really good but fell off in the last couple of volumes in the direction it went. The art and action was great though.

Also the manga definitely skirts the line between an action series and a body horror one. The original anime didn't go into the body horror direction at all.

I'm completely unfamiliar with Trigun and the first two episodes felt kind of "monster of the week" combined with some comedic elements so it really caught me off guard how things escalated. Looks like I should check out the manga some day.

I can understand some of the animation issues though when it comes to CG anime Studio Orange is definitely one of the better studios out there

Wow. My whole life I thought Trigun sucked balls. One of the most baffling pieces of media I've seen trying to understand why it was popular and here I find half a lifetime later that the manga looks legit as all f.

A show with such a baller opening actually being a comedy was one of the most bizarre tone shifts I've ever seen in my life.

Seeing the manga I now see that the Trigun in my head always did exist. I need to check this shit out.

That said, the Bebop show should’ve at least asked for him to consult and get some feedback earlier on. Then again when they remake Hollywood movies 20 years later they never consult the original director so…

I watched Chainsaw Man because the hype and since I’m subbed to Crunchyroll and caught up on the shows I’m watching.

It was good, but idk didn’t get the “best ever” hype. Maybe because it felt pretty standard shounen which I’m very over at this point. Really well animated and well directed. Good character stuff, but the fights were kind of stupid and not really satisfying wins, just BS wins mostly. Kinda feels like an edgier Bleach with the devils looking kinda like Bleach monsters and the main guy looking like Ichigo.

It’s also like a really downer world and there’s no likeable characters. I prefer things a little less grimdark like FMA.

I liked it enough that I’ll watch S2, but not enough to be interested in reading the manga. Probably the most interesting bit of the show was wondering how the fuck this runs in Shounen Jump because with all the violence and gore you’d think it’d run in a seinen magazine like Berserk/Hellsing. This has to be the most violent comic ever in Shounen Jump?

Probably the most interesting bit of the show was wondering how the fuck this runs in Shounen Jump because with all the violence and gore you’d think it’d run in a seinen magazine like Berserk/Hellsing. This has to be the most violent comic ever in Shounen Jump?

I'm with you on this- I read the entire manga first story arc and while I liked it a lot and read through it all, it didn't strike me as one of the best ever manga released.  I also thought the story just fell off after the first arc and haven't read it since, but will go back and see if it has gotten better.

Similarly, I'm not really feeling the new JoJo manga.  It felt like Part V all over again.  But there's only one chapter out right now so will see how it progresses.

Anime fans and gamers are the same level of ridiculous. Chainsaw Man is a fun show, but "best ever" for something this early on is a stretch. Don't take these statements seriously.

Shonen series about a guy that just wants to touch a boob before he dies.

I wouldn't compare it to Golden Boy at all.

It's not a comedy though it has some comedic moments.

It's a pretty grim dark shounen go fight monsters and people who work for monsters and extremely violent and survival rate for monster hunters in the world is very low so lots of death.

When not fighting monsters, characters get good development.

Maybe closest thing would be Gantz? Gantz x Bleach or something. It's just weird that it runs in Shounen Jump given that it's more like Gantz which is Seinen.

Sounds like Demon Slayer and Dororo. I doubt it's better than Dororo.

I don't get calling Chainsaw Man the best ever.

But the show is good because the surreal writing is somehow full of personality, style, and yet very relatable. In a way unlike most anime regardless of how crazy the story is, the characters feel more human than many anime characters.

It also has great art, animation, direction, and presentation.

The plotting is a little lacking I think, but I also sometimes feel like that is on purpose. It's an odd vibe show and the story does not feel as important as the feel.

Finished Trigun Stampede

That was weird. It's like a few ep intro, one short so-so story arc over 2-3 eps about Wolfwood and then 4-5 eps finale. The finale is fine (but different story than the manga/past anime) and the show has some great animation, but it feels like the entire journey was missing because ...12 eps. As someone that read the manga it's really hard for me to judge the show. It's not bad, but didn't really satisfy what I want out of a Trigun show.

And then it's all a setup for doing another season in the future that's entirely an original story next time? But still using some pieces of the manga they didn't use in this show? Just weird.

I guess the reason Stampede is the way it is, is probably that Studio Orange couldn't get funding for more than a 12ep season and there's no way to do Trigun Maximum's story in 12eps, so instead they tried doing this weird re-imagining thing of an original story using parts of the manga and its characters.

Art, animation and music were all great. Studio Orange is quality. I just feel like 12eps made what they tried to do impossible, so it's just sorta alright. I'd be interested in seeing what people who haven't experienced any Trigun before and go in totally fresh feel about the show as a whole and if it works for them.

Gundam Witch from Mercury S2 was fucking terrible.

First season was great. S2 did the usual Sunrise anime thing like OO S2, Code Geass S2 where the writing just jumps the shark and goes full stupid plotlines with terrible characters and nonsense turns left and right.

I thought the first season was garbage. I think the show in general is garbage. Don’t understand the hype of that show.

Finally watched One Piece Red. It was solid. For these filler shounen anime movies, it's pretty decent even if it's not an action/fight movie. Has some good moments and feels. Well animated and good pacing.

On a similar note, the other day I rewatched the first three Dragon Ball Z movies. What’s immediately different between older and newer shounen anime movies, is that the newer ones are actual movies.

Those DBZ movies are about 40 minutes long. Not much in the way of story or characters. Just loosely connected surprisingly well choreographed and animated fights. I wanna read more into the production. Some scenes are excellent.

The only One Piece content I’ve seen (so far) was the sixth movie, and yeah, it was an actual movie. Even the latest Dragon Ball movie is a movie.

DBZ movies were just about the fights and nothing in the way of story.

Got in the mood again and ended up watching the rest of the Dragon Ball Z movies, up until 12.

Different history and nostalgia with everything after those first three. Those were dubbed and aired on TV. The rest, it was shitty VHS recordings with Japanese-to-Chinese-to-English translated subs my buddy had. Or real media video files. Names were Bejita and Kururin and it'd change movie to movie. Anyway, they're almost all the same the movie, with some major dips in animation quality and creative fights.

Movie 4. Slugg and not quite super saiyan. Some cool moments. Fighting in a small village, crashing through windows and trucks. After a point it's empty terrain or fighting in the air.

Movie 5. Cooler. Some peak badass moments. Cooler's shredder form is intimidating and awesome and the quality is there. Like flying through of a kamehameha to punch Goku in the face. Or the minor fight of Piccolo vs the light saber goon flying through the forest.

Movie 6. Metal Cooler. Outside of Vegeta's intro, it's the worst so far. The animation quality is sloppy and all the fighting is on a flat open field. Boring.

Movie 7. Super Android. Piccolo using a suplex on the android is the best part. There's a theme in all these where Vegeta gets a cool intro and is immediately wrecked. That actually happens twice here. I do like the gag parts of this and the next movie where you see ordinary life.

Movie 8. Broly. This is the most one of these tried having a plot so far. Not great. Once Broly gets going, it's just him beating everybody while Vegeta pees his pants about it. The animation and all isn't there for make the nonstop fighting entertaining. The newer Broly movie is all fighting too but it's animated really well and awesome.

Movie 9. Bojack. The battle royale tournament in the opening is fun. It has some creative locations and fights throughout. I recall people always down on this one, but it's the one I liked most since Cooler 1.

Movie 10 and 11. Broly 2 and 3. Lumping these together. Both bad.

Movie 12. Gogeta. It's all a gag movie until the 30 seconds of Gogeta. It's great. Fat Gogeta farts on the villain. Gohan one punches Freeza. Goten and Trucks fight Hitler. It knows what it is.
