Merzbow Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 This excellent video has got me back in the mood for violent and crude anime from the late 80's and 90's. Downloaded a few from her list and a few others I've found on my own, there's a small chance I'm going to review them all on Letterboxd. Video could be slightly NSFW but she's censored a lot. Quote

Mustafar Shakir sounds EXACTLY like the English dub of Jet in the anime. I know we've seen Ein in the original teaser, but it's odd that there's no sign of Edward yet. John Cho comes off more tired than laid-back, but that might just be his face. I really hope they do well hiding the cuts in the fight scenes between John Cho and obviously-not-John Cho. Quote
The King Of Swing Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Am I the only one getting serious Scott Pilgrim vibes from that trailer? Looks fun. Quote
Merzbow Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 Did anyone watch the final Evangelion film? Fuck me that was a wondrous troll job, Anno really does hate the fans like he often makes out. I genuinely enjoyed it to be fair, the films have their bad moments with fan service and the like but the complete 180 the story ends up taking was good. Quote

Im interested and heard good things. Worth a try for someone not much of a fan of the original though? Edited October 21, 2021 by Cousin Jim Bob Quote
The King Of Swing Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 Count me as another who didn't like the original (only managed a few episodes) but is interested in the remakes. Quote
Merzbow Posted October 21, 2021 Posted October 21, 2021 I'm not sure you'd like them much more, the first film is very much like the series but they are all on Prime if you want to give them a go. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted October 21, 2021 Members Posted October 21, 2021 FYI if you've never seen Cowboy Bebop, it's been added to Netflix today. Quote
Merzbow Posted November 19, 2021 Posted November 19, 2021 Oh wow, they've tried to go for a weird 1:1 adaptation or something but it just doesn't fit the live action. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted December 1, 2021 Members Posted December 1, 2021 Tokyo Godfathers has arrived on Netflix today. Absolutely lovely stuff. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted December 11, 2021 Members Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Thought this would be worth sharing. How sad. Edit: Also forgot to mention that despite never having seen My Hero Academia, I've shelled out £25 for a Shoto Todoroki plush for my eldest for her birthday! How can she want something from a show she's never seen? I've been suckered havent I? Kids are mental. Edited December 11, 2021 by SuperBacon Quote

Same, had to shell out £40 for a costume from the show for my eldest this halloween despite her having watched literally zero seconds of it. Nothings changed though, I remember being that age (barely) and suddenly having a new favourite thing purely based on friends hyping it. Edited December 11, 2021 by Bicurious Dad Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted January 22, 2022 Members Posted January 22, 2022 Any manga/graphic novel recommends for a 12yo? She loves MHA, Attack On Titan etc but I'd say prefers fantasy based things rather than swords and fighting, if that makes sense? But happy to be recommended anything really. I bought her Solanin by Inio Asano for Christmas and she loved that. So did I to be honest, it's a gorgeous book, so looking for something similar. Any help would be appreciated, cheers. Quote
