Bowling Hearts.
I'm going to drop a bowling ball on your foot for that one.
I thought you had a thing for magical cat-girls.

And there should be some sort of twist... like if the mysterious kindly ruler who invented a mysterious energy source was actually a mysterious evil ruler and the mysterious energy source was actually an evil mysterious energy source.
I like your ideas and want to subscribe to your fan magazine! Perhaps they could add the additional twist of messing with the shows chronology! They could begin the show in the exact middle of the story, and then procede to tell the story simultaneously back towards the beginning and forewards to the conclusion.
-
Sounds perfect! All they need to do is to transport the setting into an alternate earth that's vaguely post-industrial revolution or early 20th century with two or more great city states in a perpetual cold war, in a kinda-sorta european hamlet.
-
Yeah, something new... like if they went to a ninja highschool... and maybe if the dorky goofie character was actually the most powerful of them all with a secret family heritage and an undiscovered destiny that will eventually make him the most admired person in his school/town.
Could that secret heritage perhaps involve a impossibly strong, nigh-invulnerable super robot that was built by his grandfather? I don't think anime has really ever explored that idea.
-
gods above, the High school/romance/magical cat-girl/bowling/comedy is sooo overplayed.
Agreed. They should really spend some time focusing on them battling the undead and/or ghosts as part time shinigamis. You know...to keep things fresh.
-
Bowling Hearts AX, the thrilling second season to last year's Bowling Hearts. Its your typical High school/romance/magical cat-girl/bowling/comedy.
-
I think you should be also carrying a box...
What's in the box?
-
There's fansubs out for episode 2 now. For me, this will really determine just how much longer I watch this show.
-
And yes this will be wire-fu pathetic just like Kill Bill. Lame. Hollywood needs to learn how to do martial arts films without relying so heavily on wirework. Some good examples to research are Sha Po Lang, Tiger Cage, Ong Bak and Once Upon A Time in China just to name a few.
So what...you want a quasi-realistic Street Fighter?
I eagerly await your proposed take on the "Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku" or other signature moves. -
As long as Laura Prepon doesn't see that article... my basement shenanigans will be OK! Now I just have to find some more VHS tapes for my "RED" camera...
When I said I wanted a "darker, more mature" take on the property that wasn't what I had in mind...
-
They clearly lack faith in their product if they are not confident that the fact that it is star trek should sell it.
If anything, they have to sell the movie in spite of it being Trek. If there's any single "brand" that needs rehabilitation, it's Trek. I think you seriously underestimate the apathy that 99% of the movie-going public must feel about yet another Trek film.
-
It looks like we won't be seeing a He-Man movie any time soon. Now we will never get to see a realistic depiction of Teela*
*Thanks to EXO for that one
-
There isn't nearly enough plywood in those sets. And WTF is with that snow....looks nothing like soap chips. How do they expect us to accept this as TOS era Trek if everything look real-ish? And the FLIR pods on that so-called USS Kelvin are all wrong for that mark! It's as if they don't care. You can totally tell that JJ Abrams didn't even look at the copious piles of notes that e-pundits sent him on how to do this movie right.
-
That's because he was involved in the design of both suits.
OK, so one or the other is derivative, depending on which was done first. I'm still not a fan though.
-
Damn, Ridley Scott is a machine. He has more films in development at any one time than some directors have in their filmography. Now, is this happening before or after he does Brave New World? And what about Blood Meridian?
Edit: And that Naoyuki Katoh armor looks an awful lot like the Studio Nue Starship Troopers. I'll pass on that.
-
So the first episode is out. It certainly has a LOGH feel to it, and even the story of the first episode seemed very familiar. Overall I'd say I enjoyed it enough to download the next one. If it can keep up the space opera feel without being too derivative it might well be one of the only shows I watch this season. Its certainly a welcome break from emo teenagers piloting one-of-a-kind super robots.

nice BLUE eyes Chun Li. Sigh...
Calm down, fanboy. Maybe Chun Li wears contacts.

Quid pro quo: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?s=&a...st&p=671149
Yes of course....plead ignorance, but continue to argue the "point" regardless. I'm done with you.

http://forums.animesuki.com/showpost.php?p...;postcount=2122Kawamori on Macross Frontier Movie : The Macross Frontier movie will follow the guideline of "Do You Remember Love, I'd like for all to see Frontier on the big screen, with great sound."
Now this interesting. A movie interpretation of Frontier? Or something the scale of DYRL?
Considering that Kawamori's movie/OVA versions of Escaflowne and Aquarion were both drastically altered retellings of the story, I would fully expect Frontier to follow the same course.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/redherring
Neither mention plot lines and both mention distractions.
Ho-lee Christ. Are you really that obtuse? Neither of your links really address how the term is used in a narrative, either in literature or in tv/film.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_herring_(narrative)
In literature, a red herring is a narrative element intended to distract the reader from a more important event in the plot, usually a twist ending.In literature, the most commonplace use of a "red herring" is in mystery fiction. One particular character is described or emphasized in a way that seems to throw suspicion upon that character as the person who committed the crime: later, it develops that someone else is the guilty party.
Film and television
In film, the "red herring" element is usually conveyed visually. An excellent example of this occurs in the 1947 suspense film The Spiral Staircase. The audience is aware that someone in the house is a serial murderer. Early in the film there is a thunderstorm: the pantry door abruptly opens to reveal the hulking figure of the caretaker Mr. Oates (actor Rhys Williams) framed in a flash of lightning as he bursts into the room. This is the first time the audience has seen this character; his distinctive entrance makes him seem sinister and aberrant, and therefore he is the obvious suspect in the murder mystery. But Oates is not the murderer; therefore this scene establishes him as a red herring.
Television soap operas often use the "red herring" device, specifically in murder mystery storylines. In most soap opera murders, the victim is usually a villain, who during his or her run on the show, has antagonized most of the main cast. A prominent example of the "red herring" in soap operas is the murder of Paul Cramer on One Life to Live. Paul was a primary character in the infamous "baby switch" storyline on One Life to Live and All My Children. When he was murdered, the killer was revealed to be Daniel Colson, who was being blackmailed by Paul because he was gay. Prior to the revelation, the two characters had no interaction with each other at all.
In the film, Clue, the term is used several times, or once in each alternative plot, at the end while the mystery is being explained. Each time the term is applied to Communism, as the line was usually "Communism was just a red herring".
Therefore we can safely say that the Mao-Sheryl connection is NOT a red herring, but rather a simple narrative dead end.
Now, Bilrer on the other hand, could be considered a red herring. When we first see him, everybody was convinced he was part of the then-mysterious Galaxy faction. Later, he makes some cryptic remarks about bringing the galaxy together, etc. Uh oh...it's looking like he's a bad guy. But in the end, the dude just wanted to meet Minmay.
-
It would have been a red herring if Sheryl Nome was, in fact, NOT related to Mao Nome. Character with the same surname....makes a Mac Zero movie...then BAM!... not actually related. Not exactly a Shyamalanian twist, but at least that would have met the definition of a red herring. And, it would have made as much impact on the actual story as her actual relation did.
-
Boba Fett's trigger discipline in the first picture is appalling.
-
I'm not conceeding the point. In fact, I feel that you missed my point. You feel certain revelations are important to the main plot, and I don't. Thus, red herring.
lol....That's....STILL not what it means, no matter how much you want it to. And nobody is arguing that these fact were important, but rather that there was no point to them in the first place. Sheryl's relation to Mao (not to mention her producing a freaking movie based on the events of zero) could have been completely omitted from the story without making one iota of difference. Hence, the Nome connection was pointless*. Which was The Duke's point to begin with.
*caveat: Maybe Kawamori has some big shocking reveal in the eventual Frontier movie. But I doubt it.
-
Why the attitude, Bsu?
Not everyone reads the same dictionary nor has the same exposure to all the potential definitions of a word.
Yes, well it's still not a red herring. I'll accept this as your unusual way of conceding the point.
And the more I think about it, if I had any attachment to Mao I'd be annoyed that they reintroduce her in a photograph, only to (ostensibly) kill her off-screen. Never mind the huge disconnect between the girl we knew in Zero and the PHD-laden old lady we see in Frontier, because none of that gets explained anyway. Ah well, it doesn't really matter in the end. Sheryl's grandmother could have been named "Dr Lector" for all the difference it made in the story. At least it wasn't somebody with a really important name, like "Dr Ichijo" or "Dr Jenius."
Master Replicas calls "Ghostbusters"

A full-scale proton pack is a little larger than my interest in Ghostbusters would allow me to spend, but the ghost trap is small enough that I could find room for it. Pending a reasonable price, that is. Worst case, the product line bombs and I get one for cheap, like I picked up my Aliens motion tracker.
