Re: The "what is this anime/manga?" thread

I'm guessing it's either just not very good, or it's super creepy in terms of how the young female characters are treated and nobody wants to import it. While I'm not necessarily convinced that poor and/or creepy treatment of young female characters has necessarily stopped anime of that ilk from be...

Re: Convention Appearances 2018

Unfortunately, I had something pop up at the last minute and had to miss Otakon this year (thankfully, brought to my attention before the 24 hour deadline to cancel hotel reservations, though). On track , as of now, at least, to hit Katsucon, though. How was Otakon, this year? Really late on replyi...

https://ontheones.wordpress.com/2018/08/25/an-honorary-compendium-of-writings-on-toshio-hirata-平田敏夫-and-his-collaborators/ So this is not my piece, but I was so blown away by it that I really wanted to bring attention to it here. Please check it out, if anyone here has an interest in the man. I had ...

Re: The "what is this anime/manga?" thread

The second is Sasuga no Sarutobi 『さすがの猿飛』. The title is in the picture, but I recognize it because I came by it when looking into other work that Takeshi Shudo was involved in. Apparently all of it came out in France at some point? It's an anime adaptation of a manga that ran in Shonen Sunday from 1...

Re: New Discotek announcements: Area 88! Kimagure Orange Road! AND MORE!!

https://twitter.com/discotekmedia/status/1032349420845719552 This one almost slipped by but Discotek recently announced Goshogun TV for BD release (in HD, not SD). I'm glad I held off on buying the DVDs because I knew that there had been an HD BD release in Japan. Being completely honest though, I r...

Re: Alita: Battle Angel delayed to Dec '18

I can understand not feeling it & skipping the movie tho. I'm actually not that bothered by the look now (I was from the first trailer that came out). It's more that I generally don't have much interest in live action adaptations of comic/cartoon properties, whether or not they happen to be goo...

Re: Alita: Battle Angel delayed to Dec '18

Seriously. Looked stupid. Why is Alita the only one with the weird eyes? If we're going for that whole anime feel, every humanoid character in the film should have it. Seems silly to just give one character the special effect to make her stand out more. I have no interest in seeing the movie either...

Re: Maiden Japan releasing a Complete Patlabor bluray set!

On the one hand, this is an insanely good deal for so much Patlabor! On the other, I've been slowly buying the single releases they'd been doing, so I'm kind of annoyed that I'll have to trade those in to get funds towards getting this release, lol. :roll: Oh, well! Yeah I had bought all the single...
