recently i watched Gunbuster for the first time going in blind. it owned

It’s pretty good, though I was oddly underwhelmed by it. The flagship was by far my favorite thing about that OVA. The lack of a good explanation for why they made emotionally fragile teens pilot the mechs pissed me off, esp since it was such a major point to the series. At least Evangelion explained this.

Also the last ep was classic Anno blew the budget again, but I expected that.

i loved it but i haven’t seen Eva yet so i cannot compare

From: Tiko at 2021-08-06 19:20:21

What the FUCK

i actually looked up the last ep to see if it was a budget reason and apparently it was the most expensive episode to produce and

i will watch Eva someday…..

Oh weird. Evangelion and Kare Kano were infamous for Anno running out of budget and getting very… “creative” with the episode direction. I assumed that was the same thing that happened with Gunbuster.

Nadia The Secret of Blue Water though had a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ ending by Anno.

the boys in the SAT hyped gunbuster up so much i was massively disappointed by the time they forced me to watch it

luckily i had zero hype

u should watch it cuz its good but ur very far past the prime viewing age and are instead at the prime reviewing age so idk maybe u wont enjoy it as much as you could have

i feel its best enjoyed with ur own teen angst and then again with the full existential dread of adulthood

I didn’t really set any expectations for it and I still didn’t think it was that great. I liked it, but it wasn’t some legendary show or anything to me.

EVA

I saw Evangelion when I was an emo ass high schooler in 1996 - 97. It owned.

My friend brought over the first few VHS’s because we were anime bros. I looked at the box and pronounced it like Robin Williams. “Neon Genesis Evanjelion.”

yeah thats what im sayin

this is the absolute peak time to watch EVA and also death note

Death Note was good for like the first ¹⁄₃ and then it went way downhill.

its okay 15yo oj didnt care

it was lit

That probably actually is the proper English pronunciation and Anno was just an ESL dork.

Tiko, if you watch EVA, I would highly recommend the Platinum DVD set (or a rip of it). Avoid the Netflix version.

lmao

I saw the JP blu-ray rips too and those were good. I think the version I had used the subs imported from the Plats.

thank u for the tips 🙏

i watched Gunbuster on nico nico douga so it was like having commentary track turned on
helped me understand all the parodies and shit it was fun
prob wouldnt watch eva like that tho

I’m not usually a dub guy, but I went back and compared the 90s ADV dub vs. Netflix’s new dub of Evangelion and the ADV one was WAY better. Netflix’s voices were so damn lifeless.

damn i didnt know netflix like redid it or w/e

Yeah Netflix also changed up the translations and even made em worse in some places.

Unforgivable…

On the other hand, I will give them credit for FINALLY localizing Saint Seiya, and they did a decent job of subbing it.

ive always wondered why doesnt netflix just fucking fund haruhi 3 or any of those other sequels people have been wanting forever

im sure theres some bs reasons but idk

GKIDs and a couple of euro labels are doing a new blu-ray set but none of them have put out any real details on whats gonna be included or what sources theyre pullin from

hopefully they dont put the netflix dub on there

they also changed a bunch of dialog to censor shit or somethin iirc

hmm what animes should i watch next. i will save Eva for later

i should probably update my Anime List but i havent touched that shit in like 10 yrs

OJ and I both switched to AniList years ago after MAL’s server went down for months.

oic

Don’t tell me you also haven’t seen Mahou Shoujo Madoka☆Magica

i have but not the movies. totally forgot about them. watched it on-air back in the day

love it btw

Series is overall better than the movies IMO, though the movies do have some cool re-vamped scenes. I’m very mixed on Rebellion though. Hated the ending.

In terms of newer shows, I’d recommend Vinland Saga. I’ve only given perfect scores to about a dozen shows out of my 1300+ watches, and that was one of em.

oh damn, really? i’ll keep that in mind

Odd Taxi is also the best show so far of 2021 IMO. Pretty dang close to perfect.

I saw Rebellion in theaters, and the audio of the girls chasing each other around at the start in surround sound was insane to hear.

No sex havers

i love anime and alcohol and i’m all out of anime

From: weed king at 2021-08-07 06:02:58
No sex havers

Are there any situations where sexhaving would be acceptable? How about these two hypothetical situations?

1. The Video Girl Ai scenario - magical video rental shop gives you a magic video cassette that when played causes a girl (in this case, 18+) to emerge from the screen for a short period of time, shenanigans and emotions ensue. Would it be okay to sexhave with the video girl?

2. Selling my body at $25 a pop to a group of strangers in order to fund my increasingly expensive anime Betamax and LD import habit?

Remember anime?

think anime is dead?

not yet since ‘the final season’ wasn’t final

They meant final like the Final in Final Fantasy

netflix couldn’t ruin death note because it was already cringe but they have taken bebop down with them 😑

also is jjba part 4 supposed to be that similar to twin peaks? or is it just me

Death note is just the right amount of cringe imo

From: cringe pilled at 2021-11-04 16:41:15

Given that twin peaks was airing during the end of part 3 and its popularity in japan I would be surprised if it wasn’t inspired by TP

pale snake xd

Call me pucchi cause I got a pale snake that oozes sticky white stuff

smack 💋 almost as bad as pale snake

Smack is one of the absolute worst in the franchise

You’d think Netflix would be willing to pay more to not have such an embarrassing product but look what happened to Cowboy Bebop

The curse of the sequel in full effect

Flash isn’t a sequel, it’s a reboot.

Didn’t they reboot Nuku Nuku like 3 times over 10 years lmao

It got worse every time too.

From: Requiett at 2021-12-11 03:39:20
Flash isn’t a sequel, it’s a reboot.

there’s like a few weird nods to the og series but for some reason they decided that all the action and quick comedy needed to instead just be mean-spiritedness spread out over unfun dramatic plots. it occasionally would get silly, but rarely in the way the og series did.

watched the escaflowne movie finally

probably not worth the wait imo

Crunchy’s not the best but their manga plan has some neat gimmick where it snaps into a frame and zooms in and you can easily jump from one to the next and makes it easy to read on a phone.
