I downloaded 2.22 like 4 times so far and I still haven't watched it yet.

[Great Rumbler]

Was in the mood for some good ol' ultraviolent, futuristic cyber cop, horribly dubbed 90s anime and stumbled on this:



Watching it tonight! 


Trapeze sounds interesting.

Angel Cop

Well, if you're up for more, try some Genocyber. It's a good watch*.

*Not really, it's horrifyingly bad. As is most anime from Koichi "MD Geist" Oohata.

episode 9 is probably the funniest anime I've seen since DMC

"You raised me just to rape me?!"
 

[cool breeze]

I started watching K-on a few nights ago to give it a fair chance after seeing 95% of the gaf anime thread is about it.  I'm kinda...sort of enjoying it.  I mean, it's not that bad.  It's like watching a glade plug in for entertainment.

There's some genuinely funny bits and the band songs are not bad music.

Plus shows/manga about bands are always entertaining. 

[Junpei the Tracer!]

2.22 was sure interesting and it looked great. Love me some seas of blood. It's odd they're setting Shinji and Rei, because Rei is modeled after his dead mum and that's kinda y'know. Very much looking forward to Part 3.

thanks to Kenak from gaf manga thread for this amazing find.

Viz told me to read that. Only read a couple of chapters, always meant to get back to it.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

Apparently Kimi no Iru Machi is a manga that will make you very upset with character decisions. Kinda makes me want to read it, though I'm already reading Good Ending, I dunno if I can handle two romance manga at a time.

is dragon ball worth watching?  I've never seen a single episode.  I just need a show (in english) that I can watch while running and I'm almost out of case closed episodes.

Me too.  Some of the things that happen are just  .  It felt like it ended a little abruptly, but then I guess there wasn't much else that needed to be covered.

The jerk off manga was pretty good.  Reminded me of welcome to NHK.

just watched Hellsing 7.   This series is so fucking awesome.  I hope there are enough people buying anime to keep the industry alive long enough to finish it...

Episode 4's ED is so good. 

[Bebpo]

Yeah, Hellsing OAV 8 is supposed to be THE GREATEST EPISODE OF ANIME EVER
but apparently because of that it's going to cost A LOT to animate it and the OAV doesn't sell well enough (and Geneon who was funding it from the USA died) to fund it so it's been TBD for a while now. 

Rumor has it that there's a panel at AX where there's going to be an announcement of Funimation taking over the rights and funding the last 3 eps (going to be 10eps total).

Saw this earlier today, looks and sounds pretty cool.

[brob]

Is the Hellsing OVA series good? I remember watching the first ep, but they took so long between 'em that I fell off. I liked the original series though, even if it supposedly diverges quite a bit from the manga.

How is the music? I really dug the music in the original series.

Is that clip of a fool blabbering the usual animu gibberish supposed to be representative of the series? I want fun music and absurd action. will I get it in this series?

In answer to your second question, yes.

[Vizzys]

ova 4 has nazi singing and magic bullets

best animu ever

[Himu]

hellsing ultimate is amazing

Himu seal of approval

will download to ichi's tears.

[Purple Filth]

i really need to get caught up to this (only have Ovas 1-4)

[Bebpo]

Been marathoning FMA brotherhood all day to catch up.
Got 40-50 done so far.  Will probably save 50-60 for another day.  Still feel about the same way with the adaptation: it's perfectly fine but nothing special and so if you've read the manga it's kind of boring outside the good fights that get great animation. 

[brob]

watched the first ep of Hellsing. Nice action and some nice music.

The dialog however, is down right abysmal. That thing where two characters who are familiar with a concept or procedure, but still explain it to one another so the audience can understand it? yeah, that happened in every god damn dialog - some shit repeated like three times. Every time someone met they had to use all the possible names and aliases for that person instead of just saying hello like regular-ass dude would. Normally I'd just say Japan, you so crazy, but this is waaaaaay beyond that. And I love how they are playing coy with the whole Alucard "oh, didn't you used to be a Count? " schtick, like the name wasn't enough...

[Bebpo]

Hellsing has horrible hooooorrible dialogue.  Do not watch it for that.  Watch it for the crazy ass fights between superhuman freaks and zombie nazis.  It's supposed to be total pulp.

[brob]

Just because it's not the focus of the show doesn't mean that it isn't a detriment. Really, if story isn't important, then don't have a million years of exposition. They have a very nice sense of framing and they seem competent enough to create tension without Alexander and Alucard talking mad yang every time they see one another.


Also, Japan, please stop with the English.

[Vizzys]

I could listen to wakamoto engrish all day

[Great Rumbler]

The 36 publishers in Japan's Digital Comic Association and several American publishers are forming a coalition to combat the "rampant and growing problem" of scanlations — illicit digital copies of manga either translated by fans or scanned directly from legitimate English releases.

The coalition asserts that "scanlation aggregator" sites "now host thousands of pirated titles, earning ad revenue and/or membership dues at creators' expense while simultaneously undermining foreign licensing opportunities and unlawfully cannibalizing legitimate sales." Google lists one site on its list of the 1,000 most-visited sites on the web. An unnamed spokesperson for the coalition also pointed to smartphone applications designed to read such sites as an escalation of the problem.

The coalition is reportedly threatening legal action against 30 scanlation sites, whose names were not revealed. The organization currently includes Japanese publishers Kodansha, Shogakukan, Shueisha, Square Enix, and the Tuttle-Mori Agency, as well as North American manga publishers Vertical Inc., Viz Media, Tokyopop, and Yen Press.

Maybe you assholes should release this stuff over here.

STILL WAITING FOR CROSSBONE GUNDAM.

[Himu]

I would seriously PAY for a digital comic book service including manga.

[Bebpo]

Yeah, the continuing list of dumb things Japan does so that they can bitch about piracy in the digital age instead of make money from it.

1.  Not team up with a foreign distributor to release official fansubs with ads
2.  Not team up with a foreign distributor to release official scanlations with ads
3.  Not put their music up on global itunes at the same time as Japanese B&M release

[Junpei the Tracer!]

viz omg

that's Viz?

  wouldn't that be something.

Watched five eps of Hellsing OVA now and I'm out. Way too much straight up disturbingly bad exposition. I can't fathom that they wrote, recorded and animated all that without realizing how terrible it is. The action is good, and the music, while not up to the previous show, is good, but I can't be assed to sit through this when there is ten times as much time devoted to talking heads blathering nonsensical nonsense in broken-ass European languages (they say prosit as a toast for fucks sake) compared to the few smatterings of action!


MOTHER. FUCKING. RAGE. QUIT.
