    Nah, I'm sure it's great, I just always raise my eyebrows a little bit in skepticism when it comes to IGN.

    I just gotta say I honestly never expected Gilbert and Sullivan to be referenced here.

    Eat your heart out, real doll "collectors."

    https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/20190725-OYT1T50298/ The tl;dr of it: Firefighter anime Fire Force has made visual and narrative changes to its third episode, and will roll those changes through to future episodes as well, in light of the KyoAni fire. According to some person on reddit, episode 3 --- So... yikes. That's rough for everybody, to put it extremely mildly. In situations like this, I think it would have been just as "good" a move to run a monologue before and after the episode airs expressing the same sympathy and remorse that everyone feels and provide links/phone numbers for donations and the like. No one in their right mind would blame the makers of this anime for what happened to KyoAni, nor would (or at least should) they hold any animosity toward them for continuing to pursue their commercial/artistic goals. That said, I can understand the studio also not wanting to, even unintentionally, further agitate audiences' already raw emotions. Rough place to be in.

    Yeah, but IGN, so...

    Same kind of VF-1X++ as in Macross the Ride? Is it a civilian model, or military? Am I right in assuming that it's based on the VF-1X Valkyrie Plus?

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but In the The False Songstress "next episode preview" of The Wings of Goodbye, there's a red Super VF-1 and what looks to be a Monster in Destroid form with gatling guns in place of its standard missile launcher arms. I can't be arsed to go through all of WoG right now, but I don't recall either of those being in there. Were they simply placeholders? I'd imagine that's the case for at least the VF-1, to avoid revealing the YF-29 early. If not, where in the movie do they show up and why?

    My friend wanted to see it too and dragged me along with. My thoughts on it, not knowing anything about the series: All of that said, I'm sure I'd like it more if I watched the show, so... sure, 6/10, it's pretty standard anime fare I guess. (Seriously though, who were those two dark-haired chicks because GAT DAYUM.) Also, there was a trailer for apparently an August screening of Millennium Actress, and I am most definitely not missing out on that opportunity. That movie is so frakking good.

    Question: Which of the two recent Supermans (Superman Returns, Man of Steel) is better? I'd choose the former if locked in a room and forced to watch one in its entirety before I'd be let out, but having not seen all of either, I couldn't say for sure.

    Bit of column A, bit of column B. So... People love that she brought an end to an intergalactic war through the power of song, they just... hate bringing an end to an intergalactic war through the power of song. (Okay, seriously, I know I'm just attacking a strawman making fun of Robotech here, but boy is it fun to attack strawmen make fun of Robotech sometimes all the time.)

    Well, there's the chef... And Josuke fixes broken noses on the regular... I wonder, if Kishibe Rohan opened up Reimi and Arnold and wrote in that they weren't dead, would they come back to life?

    I think that's a consequence of the slice-of-life flavor that this arc took on. Some of your neighbors having wacky, stupidly specific magical powers that the rest of your neighbors can't see is silly. Part 5 so far seems to have the same sense of... inconsequentiality? Low stakes is what I mean, even though the stakes have obviously ramped up from Diamond is Unbreakable. Just seems like a wacky fun aaaaaadventure time! rather than the more serious, personally-driven main conflicts of the first three stories. All of that, then (spoilers in case you haven't gotten there yet) People have said as much too, now that I look them up. I also found it insanely weird that Jotaro opted to give his Stand's ability a name, and especially to name it after his nemesis. If anything, I'd have thought he'd simply tell Star Platinum to "TOKI WO TOMARE!" but then again that would rob us of more wonderful "ZA WARUDO!" pronunciations, so let it rock, I suppose.

    I REFUSE to believe that is a legitimate thing that was released for commercial consumption. Wh-what? I mean, I get taking stuff from the original show, the two franchises have that as a common starting point, but... but why would Robotech fans take from the Macross sequels? They have Robotech! Why take things from unrelated sequels and risk copyright/trademark infringement when you can just take stuff from your own franchise's sequohhhhhh, that's right... With all the effort Robotech fans have apparently put into ripping off Macross, I wonder why they don't just, y'know, be Macross fans. Seems like it would be much less effort, and more fulfilling to boot.

    Yeah, the art style is a really big shift. I like it a lot, but the flat lighting, especially the sky in outdoor scenes, makes everything feel just that much more off from reality. Well, "reality." Jotaro progressively gets younger. I just caught a picture of him in Part 6, which stars his teenage daughter, and he looks the same age as her. Dude went from a 40-year-old looking 17-year-old to a 17-year-old looking 40-year old. It's so weird. One might even call it bizarre.

    Cut the parts off the runners into bags, and you'll save over half the weight and space (unless you decide to keep the box).

    Speaking of, gave a new friend of mine the Frontier series last weekend, and he finished the entire thing by Wednesday. I think it's fair to say he liked it.

    Too frakking right. This frakking sucks.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/world/asia/japan-fire-kyoto-animation.html "Japan Fire Killed Mostly Women, at a Studio Known for Hiring Them" God frakking damn it. (Entire article quoted here in case you can't access NYT, but you should give them a sub.)

    My god, that HAS to be the lighting in the studio. Or the color grading. Or SOMETHING. No person can possibly be that artificially tan. EDIT: On topic, way better trailer than I thought it could or would be. Here's hoping the actual thing meets the expectations set up by this trailer.

    I mean, if you don't like your RD GP01, I'd be more than happy to take it off your hands. IMO, it's the closest Bandai's ever gotten to a perfect GP01.

    IIRC, the Tallgeese, Epyon, and Wing Zero are all technically "EW" designs that just so happen to be exactly or nearly the same as their original TV designs. The "EW" TG has some extra color that wasn't present on the TV version, but it's essentially the same design. The "EW" Epyon looks generally similar to its TV design, but there are subtle changes throughout. And the TV Wing Zero gets a similar makeover AND is re-christened the Wing Proto Zero to differentiate it from the EW Wing Zero with its angel wings and blue-centric color scheme. This is all IIRC, of course, since I haven't read the manga.

    Hasn't he retired from the industry multiple times now? Maybe? Just imagining it?
  24. kajnrig
    What the actual frakk.

    Part 4 of Jojo is off to a stronger start than Stardust Crusaders, IMO. Just beginning the psychotic yandere part that I've seen memed to hell and back now, am excite. Some wtf's, though:
