Merzbow Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 This is a great dive into what could have been, Ray digs deep into the library of Congress to find info on lost American adaptations of a bunch of anime and TV. Imagine if we had a US version of Dragonball instead of the dubs? *shudder* Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSM Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 This weekend saw the end of the 10 year run for Attack on Titan. It's the only anime that I've watched from start to finish and felt really invested in the show. Such a cracking finale as well. Anyone else here watch it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I've gone back a few decades and started watching the original 70's Mobile Suit Gundam, it's surprisingly deep for a kid's show and isn't afraid to show the horrors of war and things like PTSD and combat stress. It's actually got me looking at buying model kits of the original Gumdams, I really want an OG looking Char's Zaku. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the finale the other day, was a decent ending and without spoiling I'd say it was a pretty true description of what people would end up doing after all of that. I enjoyed the show a lot at the beginning but the longer gaps between episodes and the last few seasons felt a bit harder to follow. Once the whole this is dubbed into English I'll give it another watch through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I moved on to the mid 80's sequel Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and it's an improvement, they know their audience better this time around and how it's an older set of nerds who love political intrigue as much as cool mechs. But even saying that the mechs and fights are on a bigger scale, too, with slicker battle scenes that still feel weighty with a sense of realism. But I'm not looking forward to the third series, I hear it's takes a huge 180 and is played for laughs compared to how gritty this one is.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted December 30, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) I don't know whether it belongs in this thread, but I finally finished the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime on Netflix this morning. I like how it goes in a completely different direction to the movie, which is also wildly different from the comic, but with plenty of references to them both. It's great in that it explores the characters a lot deeper, and the cast from the movie is in it as well. It also gets delightfully meta and self-referential a little nod to Edgar Wright and his little cinematic universe, and heaps of videogame and anime easter eggs. Anyway, if you like the books and/or the movie it's definitely worth a watch. Anamanaguchi's soundtrack is good as well.

They're on to me, lads! 😬 I've recently started re-watching Girls Und Panzer, a show that deserves way more love, in order to be caught up in order to watch the movies.

Anime girls and German tanks made it a 4chan fav. I started the classic Revolutionary Girl Utena recently, always heard that it was extremely forward thinking and deep in an Evangelion manner but didn't expect it to be so avant-garde in it's presentation, too. One of the most gorgeous looking shows I've seen. Edited December 30, 2023 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 For an unofficial fan project this is looking really good, if anything it looks better than the official 2016 series CGI. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverYield Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Yeah for a fan project that looks brilliant. Berserk is the best manga of all time for me, and the art throughout the volumes is phenomenal. Just getting round to giving the Jujutsu Kaisen anime a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted Thursday at 12:31 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:31 PM So me and the missus began watching Komi Can’t Communicate last night and we were in floods of tears after the first episode. It’s about a girl who begins high school but has extreme social anxiety, it’s on Netflix. The scene in question that had us in tears.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try and watch that with her, thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
