Re: Macross II, Macross Plus, Macross 7, Macross Frontier, & Macross Delta to get released in America!

Yeah, I would say the most annoying thing about the post Macross 7s are those CG mechas...I mean, I'm not against the use of CG when applied carefully, but none of those 2000s Macrosses really seemed to do it right. Now the modern Gundams, they do it right. My attitude is: if I wanted CGI mecha, I'...

Re: Macross II, Macross Plus, Macross 7, Macross Frontier, & Macross Delta to get released in America!

Wow, Macross 7? Sweet! I really enjoyed that show, at least after the first 5 or so episodes, when they were finally done singing Planet Dance. I have Macross 2 and Plus on DVD and not too bothered to replace them with BD. But Macross 7 is a coup. Hopefully we'll get DYRL soon as well, perhaps with ...

Re: Which Western novel has the most anime adaptations?

I literally just learned about Moomin a few days ago. The series looks really cute, at least the 1990 version.

Nice, Dorvack and remastered A-Ko 2! Sounds like time for another anime shopping spree.

Re: the scoop on scoopers

I recently watched Scoopers on youtube! I really liked the designs. The character artwork was great. I just wish I could get a higher quality video source. There were definitely some cheesy moments that made me laugh out loud. But I live for unintentionally funny stuff like that in 80s movies. Overa...

Re: Gall Force - Your thoughts

I love Gall Force! What's not to like about a space/mecha show with peak Kenichi Sonoda character designs and mecha by Hideki Kakinuma? And the mecha was awesome, and included various combiner space ships and transforming designs. Basically catnip for any 80s space/mecha nerd. I had read about Gall ...

Re: Netflix cancels LA Cowboy Bebop

chemistry between Shakir, Cho and Pineda Wait, chemistry between the main characters? No wonder the fans of the anime hated it! 😁 Kidding! But not really! I always thought the lack of any meaningful relationship development really hurt the original anime, especially since, you know, relationships a...

Re: The old-school anime DVD/BD news thread.

On my last Gunbuster purchase, I remember I'd rip the first episode onto my laptop and splice in the original "Chariots of Fire ripoff" audio back into the montage sequence. That's how obsessive I was at getting it back to the original... I assume this blu ray will of course not have the ...

Re: Uzumaki: Adult Swim's adaptation the Junji Ito manga

Ooh, this looks cool. I hope they keep the art style from the manga. I prefer that aesthetic to the super stylized anime look.
