anime is dead again

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, the summer season is a wasteland. Although, another season of Moyashimon is much appreciated.

Edit: Thread title updated for accuracy.

[Momo]

As much shit as there is it's all worth it for Yamato, Kenshin, Berserk, Toshokan Sensou

[Mr. Gundam]

Not a damn thing aside from some movies we won't see for ages.

Oh, that Muv Luv description doesn't make a lick of sense.

[MCD]

Blood Lad is good you nostalgia ridden fucks.

[Bebpo]

I'm going from 7 shows to 1 show in the summer when 5 of them finish and Gundam AGE gets cancelled.

I'm going from 10 shows [including one from last season] to maaaaaybe 4.

[Trent Dole]

I've only watched one ep of the new Lupin so far and thus a season of doesn't matter much to me.

Adult Swim, the cable and satellite network that is paired with Cartoon Network, revealed on Wednesday that it will bring back its Toonami programming block starting on Saturday, May 26. The network has not yet announced its lineup for the new block.

What a shitty name change.

I have zero Toonami nostalgia.

toonami schedule:

12:00 a.m. - Bleach
12:30 a.m. - Deadman Wonderland
1:00 a.m. - Casshern Sins
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhoo
1:00 a.m. - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
2:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop

No Cullen because he's too busy, but Blum will still be that robot dude. Supposedly this like a no budget affair right now.

[Huff]

Wasn't the old toonami like a 5 - 8pm kinda thing? It's what made it awesome

This just sounds like a rebranding of adult swim anime hour

[Takao]

That's basically what it is. Cartoon Network almost always shafts acquired programming to either early mornings, or late nights now a days. The only exceptions are things like Family Guy, and other Fox shows that bring in big numbers.

[Momo]

12:00 a.m. - Bleach - concentrated poop
12:30 a.m. - Deadman Wonderland - middling
1:00 a.m. - Casshern Sins - great
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhoo - poop
1:00 a.m. - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - excellent
2:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop - excellent

Not bad

[Himu]

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.

[Takao]

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.

[Himu]

Just Saturdays? Bomb.

[Momo]

I have interest in Casshern Sins and 2nd gig, will set up DVR for em

Casshern Sins is pretty great. Stick with it past some of the more empty eps.
GitS is class, but then you didnt need me to tell you that

[Great Rumbler]

Thread title edited for accuracy.

[Huff]

God waiting for a new episode every saturday for shows was fucking terrible as a kid

[Great Rumbler]

Guys, I'm tired of anime. After this season, I'm swearing it off for good, selling my collection, and never watching anymore of it again. I'm just done with all the same old boring tropes and characters and all that. I'm done.

You wish you could swear off this crappy addiction.  We all do.   :'(

[Bebpo]

I haven't watched anime in like 2 whole weeks 

/looks at backlog from 8 shows 

[Mr. Gundam]

I'm actively watching AGE and downloading AO for when I finish Eureka Seven.

[Trent Dole]

I've still only watched one ep of the new Lupin series.

[Great Rumbler]

I've still only watched one ep of the new Lupin series.

You should watch more of it. The latest episode was a parody of the Cuban Missile Crisis with Jigen averting nuclear war by chopping a missile in half with his sword while on top of an airplane.

[Bebpo]

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




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.

[Momo]

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.

[Great Rumbler]

[bork]

Nemdiggers has either been hacked or is gone.    :'(

[MCD]

Bleach is now the best shounen mango.

[Himu]

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.

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.

[Great Rumbler]

I love me some Space Bros., though I hope they eventually get to space and show some space stuff.

Guilty Crown episode 1

I can't take this. I just can't.

This dumb ass, old and tired Japanese formula NEEDS TO STOP.

[Great Rumbler]

Guilty Crown really needed Kenji Kamiyama at the helm, rather than the guy who did High School of the Dead.

[Bebpo]

Hey, it got a good giggle out of me!

tumblr is the perfect site for dicking around because sometimes you stumble upon stuff like this



if you like panty & stocking weird pop art style you need to watch this

[Great Rumbler]

Dead Leaves was done by the same guy that directed Redline [and is working on the new Lupin III series].

[Bebpo]

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

[Momo]

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.

[Momo]

HxH is still going nicely, I'm looking forward to the Gon x Hisoka fight in the next two eps and York Shin City after.


On my viewing schedule for later today :
Lupin
Fate/Zero
Apollon

[magus]

Dead Leaves was done by the same guy that directed Redline [and is working on the new Lupin III series].

but redline is an anime about cars,who cares about cars?

When the cars look like this:



The answer is "everyone."

[Bebpo]

Couldn't help myself, read the rest of the Zetman Kouga arc in manga form to see what happens next.  I don't know if it's just that arc, but unlike the anime which is JUSTICE and HEROES, the manga is kind of dirty softcore porn and violence in a Gantz-like way.  That arc is really messed up!

What I like best about Zetman is how all the characters look like they're ripped straight out of an early 90's Madhouse/Yoshiaki Kawajiri OVA.

Yup, Came out 3/4 days ago. Commie subbed it
