Re: What are you Watching?
I dunno if anyone's been watching MegaloBox, aka the new anime they made for the Ashita no Joe 50th anniversary, but I've been REALLY enjoying it. Anyone else seen it? :D Yep. I'm liking it. I've never seen Ashita no Joe so I'm taking pains to avoid spoilers because I want to see it. I'm also watch...

Re: Thirty Years Ago: The Best Anime of 1988
I never thought i'd see a Crash apologist online, you're a rare one indeed. I'm not certain that I'm glad to be the bearer of such a title as " Crash apologist." :lol: I'll play devils advocate that Crash baseline of its story is workable, but there's so much other stuff in it I can't hel...

Re: HIDIVE to stream the 80s Glass Mask anime!
I already pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus, and Crunchyroll... and now I have to get HiDive. As someone who makes a point of really, really trying to stream things when they are officially licensed, it is a real pain to have to collect all of these various streaming services in order to acce...

Re: Thirty Years Ago: The Best Anime of 1988
I thought it would be interesting to point out that Yoroiden Samurai Troopers came out in 1988, which would start airing on weekday mornings before I had to catch the bus for high school in the mid-90s as Ronin Warriors . It was my jam, dude. I felt like it was Sailor Moon for guys. My brother and I...

Re: Youtube video "We Have Accepted Mediocrity" snipet focusing on 80s anime
Read a few parts so far. Seems like sound arguments. One thing to note though - Japan, and specifically it's economy, has always been a black whole of logic. They've been saying it would crash and burn for ages, but quality of life there is still way better than most of the rest of the world -- bet...

Re: Thirty Years Ago: The Best Anime of 1988
Hope this hasn't been posted. Stumbled upon this... nice stroll down memory lane. Source 1988. The year of Akira . I was in second and third grades. Nice to see Patlabor getting love. I thought Appleseed was fun but I heard Dominion Tank Police really isn't that good in retrospect. I still intend t...

Re: Youtube video "We Have Accepted Mediocrity" snipet focusing on 80s anime
Will check it out -- thanks. Wonder if he'll update it if he considers it a bit dated? Based on our conversation, I don't think so. We only traded a few emails back and forth. He's written a book or two since then but I don't know if they're on the same topic (or a similar one). I think what he con...

Re: Funimation's 20th Anniversary Cowboy Bebop sets announced
That's just money they're leaving on the table. I know there's often licensing bullcrap that prevents such things from happening (see also the stupidity of Bandai/Emotion in Japan and the exclusive kit of the Yamato that was made for a 'high def' remastering of the first Yamato series. "this m...

Re: Youtube video "We Have Accepted Mediocrity" snipet focusing on 80s anime
I think this video is what happens when a young otaku brain tries to reconcile loving Urotsukidoji and K-ON ;) :lol: I'm not much the connoisseur of hentai but I'd be willing to pay (a little bit) in order to see a well-done crossover. I'd say the meager existence of those trying to live as an arti...

Re: Youtube video "We Have Accepted Mediocrity" snipet focusing on 80s anime
Seriously, though, this whole discussion of "bad anime" vs "good anime" falls apart really quickly because, hey, one person's bad anime is another person's classic masterpiece. One person's example of the best animation in the world can have terrific frame rates and be wonderful...
