JB0 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Inferno Cop is the best anime of all time. As far as Sailor Moon Crystal goes, I like the premise of the new opening, and it's almost over-aggressive focus on the "girl power" angle. The original theme is entirely focused on the Usagi/Captain Capeman destined romance thing, and... well, that's only a small portion of the show, and not what ANYONE was watching it for. The new opening strikes me as far more appropriate to the content. Also, I laughed when the single wistful romantic scene in the new opening animation was shut down by Luna and the girls. Best scene in the entire episode. All that said, the original opening is a better tune. Maybe they should've used the old english opening. ... Don't hurt me! I'm sorry! I won't say it again!

JB0 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 You, good sir, have just made my year. I pray only that they keep the cardboard cutout animation. ... Or go all-out and give it the kind of lavish budget that only an 80s OVA gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunbuster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 wow, I'm really liking Aldnoah Zero a lot so far! But I have to ask, is this "calm and collective" personality for main characters a new trend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuelGundam2099 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I will go into detail when I am done with my eroge anime adaption take on, but WOW. Prism Ark had the worst first episode of any TV anime I have ever seen (and that is saying a lot). Absolutely horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Watched the first 2 eps of Tokyo Ghoul, not bad. I'm liking it too. Reminds me a bit of Shiki. The second episode of Sword Art Online II was pretty decent. It seems they're taking their time developing their story this time around. It doesn't feel as hurried as the first episode was.

It doesn't feel as hurried as the first episode was.Yeah, it's WAY better than the first adaptation, which was... pretty godawful terrible. Full disclosure: I've never watched past the second episode of the original, despite multiple attempts. It's POSSIBLE it completely reverses course and becomes tolerable after that, but I doubt it. Episode 2 is just such a MASSIVE hackjob of the story it's adapting that it immediately destroys any faith I could place in the rest of the show. Also, Sinon apparently has a butt. It's good that the animators are calling attention to this, I might not have realized it without their help.

TangledThorns Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'm re-watching Attack on Titan on Netflix, way better experience than on a small monitor It'd be nice if Netflix will stream the dubbed version so I can keep my eyes on the action instead of the subtitles.

DuelGundam2099 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Because for no reason this doubles as a news topic http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-15/retailer-media-blasters-to-release-holy-knight-anime-ova/.76708 WHY!? Speaking of which, during my eroge anime adaption take on I am now diving into the infamous Muv Luv series that came out a couple years back. Horrid music aside "yes lets make this series start off about carnivorous aliens invading in the vain of Blue Gender and instead focus it on pointless racial dilemmas because social issues make stories good somehow for no real reason!" I expected the worst of this coming from bad fan service (which this has plenty of), but not from THAT.

Marzan Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Watanabe's new show, Terror in Resonance, is a pretty good thriller/action series. Good story, good writing and OST by Yoko Kanno. 2 episodes in, I can warmly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its pretty wacky, and more entertaining than I remember. Miami Guns? I'm intrigued. I was sure it would be an 80's title with that name but a quick google search threw out that it was actually made in 2002. Any Don Johnson lookalikes running around?

GU-11 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just watched GitS Arise - Border 3. It might sound like blasphemy, but I'm beginning to warm up to this version of Motoko, almost more than SAC Motoko. The Logicoma and her bike look pretty cool. Getting pretty used to the funny hair by now. Border 3 delves a little more into her private life, but I still prefer the Hideo Kuze story arc in 2nd Gig. Still, Mamoru Oshii's version if my favorite by far. Are Knights of Sidonia and Kill la Kill worth buying the DVD set for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'm a fan of both Sidonia and KLK som my bias says yes. Having said that, I'd recommend checking them out (both available for streaming) before taking the plunge. In the case of KLK, Aniplex is continuing with it's Japanese style pricing model so it's 50 bucks for 4 episodes (i'm assuming you're based in the States) on DVD. I think the price for BD's is around 65. So it's really catered for fans. As for Sidonia, I'm assuming that Netflix will let it sit exclusively on their system for while before a hard copy is made avalaible. This is their first anime co-production so I don't know what to expect from them pricewise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah, maybe I should stream a few eps of both show before getting the box sets. Fortunately for me, I live in Malaysia, and for some reason, the box sets are dirt cheap; about 10-15 USD a set. They're not pirated, as they're sold at a pretty large video store, and have the original hologram stickers and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
