  1. I found this one rather boring after the first bunch of eps, personnally... Otherwise, Batman: Gotham Knight was a very pleasant surprise, both on the artistic side and on the narrative one: I recommend it
  2. It looks damn great! This is far much more consistent with Innocence IMO, but does the rest of the film looks the same or is it just these 3 sequences which have been reanimated?
  3. You have read too much Philip K. Dick stuff...
  4. That's a good remark, but I doubt it: if the gravity of this super massive black hole was as much high as you suppose, there wouldn't be as much stars around it as we see because they would simply fall into it. If the stars wich surround this black hole aren't affected by its gravity pit, we can assume it doesn't influence time neither. But the details are probably more complicated of course... My previous message was about the rotation of the galaxy in fact: like all spinning objects, the borders of the galaxy move faster than any other places located closer to its center; according to relativity thingies, this implies that time slows down in these regions compared to others which move less fast
  5. One must also keep in mind that time is slower on the borders of the galaxy than at its core
  6. Nope: the old animated TV series; I finished it yesterday: it's really not bad at all and worth a watch. I liked how it went on the 'short' side instead of running on dozens and dozens of episodes and each of them built around a 'monster of the week' plot. The basic idea is interesting too although it could have been more developped. I think I'll give a try to the OAV Not only it exists, but it owns. The end is slightly rushed though, because of the usual 'not enough audience' thing which crippled First, Ideon and many others; I sometimes think that Gundam is somewhat cursed... Only once for me, thanks: it was more than enough; I had already seen the same thing in Alan Parker's Pink Floyd The Wall when I was 17 therefore Eva didn't impress me enough to make me want to watch it again, all the more as its pacing's rather slow and quickly becomes boring. The Rebuild of Eva first movie is overally in the same mood, so you may like it if you liked the TV series I plan to watch Batman Gotham Knight tonight and after that I'll probably begin Generator Gawl
  7. I wasn't really thrilled by the concept when I first heard about it on ANN but I have to say that this trailer got my interest: I'll take a close look at it when it'll be available
  8. While we're at it, someone knows if any group plans to sub this one?
  9. It's all the fault of EVA...
  10. That's the main problem of Stefan Wul's novels: this guy never learnt how to end his stories On the other hand, I didn't find the little Piel annoying: it was rather realistically presented actually; what a young boy is supposed to do when he's lost onto such planet anyway ? To be honnest, I don't remember a lot of things about Light Years, just that it was boring. Maybe I should watch it again...
  11. Laloux being dead since 2004, it would have been difficult to do otherwise... I really like this director, and since my very childhood when I saw Time Masters with my cousin. Fantastic Planet interested me less even if it's a deeper story and a far much more personnal art style. But all this is probably related to nostalgia anyway Light Years... Well, it disappointed me since the very first time I watched it: Caza's art doesn't work well on the big screen IMO and the animation quality looked very average to me. Later, I read the book this movie is inspired from (Jean-Pierre Andrevon is a very famous SF writer in France...) and it interested me more, even if it isn't a masterpiece neither
  12. While I'm at it, I've recently added Fireball to my weekly list: it's a series of very short (about 1 - 2 minutes for each ep) set in some distant future and about a (presumed) young robot lady and her mechanic servant living in some sort of futuristic citadel in the middle of a dark city surrounded by a vast desert; it doesn't pretend to make any sense and actually reminds me of some sort of Monty Python-ish weird/absurd humour but in a Tim Burton like atmosphere (except that it's rather bright, visually speaking): a somewhat funny show overally, which deserves to be better known IMO You'll find the official site here, but in japanese because life's unfair
  13. There's nothing wrong in these "Shining Fingers" neither: they're also badass, in their own and very special way...
  14. Finished Cybuster a few days ago: too bad its animation's so horrible because this series has a lot of originalities in its concept, setting, plot and designs. If such defect doesn't turn you off, don't miss this show, it's very interesting in its own way... Otherwise, I also finished – finally – Legend of Galactic Heroes: definitely one of the best animes I've seen so far. If you haven't watched it yet and you don't plan to do so, shame on you! I'm on an anime break for now and I watch season 3 of Babylon 5
  15. That is badass I've always wanted to see something like that one day: thanks Sunrise
  16. The good part is that it revived the interest of the producers for another BGC project I'll check this movie out anyway: die-hard BGC fan inside... and I know you'll all do the same
  17. Other parallels include the newtype theory which recalls the aryan creed of the nazi, or the absolute need of Zeon for more vital space and material ressources which finds its equivalent in the german Anschluss on Austria in 1938, and there's more...
  18. First Gundam being an allegory of WW2, it makes sense that some of its designs are inspired by this period I agree this slightly looks out of place now, but 30 years ago it wasn't as much disturbing than it is now, and we all know how fans hate it when designs evolve too much from one iteration of a show to another... In the case of First, I'm now used to it; actually, it's always a pleasure to see this now familiar style
  19. Probably They're mutilating his baby He doesn't like that At all
  20. You have way too much imagination: these things NEVER happen in animes...
  21. Nue, Tatsunoko, Harmony Gold,... Whatever... hobbes221 said there's 7 Macross shows (Mac 2 included in his count) and that it may be the reason why Alto's plane numbered 7. Having in mind that Kawamori doesn't acknowledge Mac2 as canon, I just replied it would be surprising. Then Mr. March quotes the Macross Chronicle which says there's indeed 7 time frames but, IMO, it doesn't demonstrate anything, for the above-mentioned reason concerning the fact that Kawamori doesn't acknowledge Mac 2 as being canon: I meant by this that it'd be surprising he takes into account Mac 2 for this number onto Alto's plane and that therefore there should be another explanation for this. That's all... Still need aspirin?
  22. I didn't say it was a bad idea, just that it doesn't work IMO The fact that Mac 2 is listed in Macross Chronicle doesn't prove anything either by the way: Kawamori having created Mac F, it makes sense it doesn't take into account Mac 2 which is not canon from his point of view, whatever Nue says on this point... Another explanation for this number 7 is that it has a strong spiritual sense, and spirit is the main quality of heroes/yuushas/reckless pilots/etc
  23. I heard things of this sort, yes, but it was 7 or 8 years ago, something like that, and no more info since...
