Then CR came along and I basically went straight legit.

On Funimation's streaming site, yes, where you can watch it the day after it airs in Adult Swim if you've got a totally free site account. They've also got an app for several TV box 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:

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.

[Mr. Gundam]

I'm starting to think the director hasn't read the manga. And is also an idiot.

This week's Space Dandy was so good. Wacky Race + Redline all up in here. Everything about it just worked and it fulfills all the promise that was there when this project was originally announced.

And the ending was really just something else. So good.

[magus]

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 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

[magus]

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 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 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



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

[Rufus]

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

walt disney stealing dick tracy (who's also some godlike entity that influenced every major historical event) and turning it into mickey mouse is a major plot point

and that is the most original thing i've read in a while

[chronovore]

Oh chrono, this isn't anime/manga related but since you mention audible and you like comics, I totally recommend Marvel Comics: The Untold Story. I listened to it a month or so ago and it was fantastic.

Thanks, I'll take a peek at that!

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 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...

So many good scenes in KLK this week.   

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"  ) and the actual usage of Afterburner music.   

[Great Rumbler]

I said this from the start, but the Bayonetta movie should have been directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

You know that Bayonetta film wasn't half bad.  I really liked the music in it too.

Shame it probably didn't do well:

Anyone else reading Kentaro Miura's new thing, Gigantomakhia? It's - weird.

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...

This man is a pervert and he can't write for shit.

[Junpei the Tracer!]

No no it was great. I was waiting for bonus dialogue chapter to post about it but it was really entertaining, nectar and all.

It makes me really happy that Tsutomu Nihei manga is getting a proper series, but I really wish it was Biomega instead.

[Eric P]

i like biomega but i love KoS.

shame it wasn't BLAME!

[Great Rumbler]

I've still got that weird BLAME! ONA thing that somebody released on DVD a long time ago.

[magus]

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 , 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

[close]

[Great Rumbler]

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.
