I hope its not an adaptation of Dark Empire, the comic really wasn't that good. It had a decent start with the story, but it really jumped the rails by the third part Empire's end. The art wasn't that good either as by half way through everything looked like a pastel blob, and the scale was out of whack. Still if I were making a star wars film that AT-AT scene with Luke would be something I would do.

The duel bladed lightsaber existed well before the prequels in Dark Horse's Tales of the Jedi Knights of the Old Republic. It was the personal weapon of Exar Kun.

No kidding. Even without the spoiler, I knew what it was. Then again I'm possibly one of the biggest StarWars geeks here, but that was before the dark times, before the prequels(and NJO). Since then I've turned my back on the ways of the force and pretty much gone into Yoda like exile as far as the franchise is concerned.

This is one of my all time favorite arcade games... CABAL! I own the NES port which is still pretty damn good despite the graphics, and lack of track ball control the arcade had.

Yeah um I have no sympathy for you. You asked a stupidspoilery question, and GU-11 answered it, and he even went as far as to create a seperate spoiler with a warning beforehand of what it contained. Your lack of self control ruined it for you, not anything GU-11 did.

If he thinks that figure was bad he obviously hasn't seen the girlie figure that comes with the poseable puppy. Gives new meaning to doggie style.

First of all those movies you are refering to are the late 60s to 70s ones. The two 80s ones along with the 90s ones tend to be very dark overall. The millenium series is a mixed bag, but I'm pretty sure Godzilla is cruel and evil in GMK all monsters attack.

Yes, and the subsequent fallout out from it. That's why after watching this film I'm not sure I really like it or not.

Intitially you may ask where the other heroes are, but for the most part its easy to explain why they didn't intervene. Bruce Banner is working for Stark and is trying to avoid hulking out at all costs. Apart from that he's most likely nose deep in research he has no clue what is going on outside the lab. Tony Stark is out of commision as Iron Man for a while ever since the ending of IM3. Thor is most likely off world on Asgard. In fact the humans inability to call Shield in Thor 2 might mean that film takes place shortly after Winter Soldier. So where the heck is Hawkeye and War Machine/Iron Patsy? That's what I want to know.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

I just finished watching A Woman Called Fujiko Mine, and it was pretty good. I'm very impressed by the retro style of the animation. The cast was interesting with a different more hard boiled film noir take on all the familiar characters. The plot itself does get a bit trippy at times almost to the point of making me wonder if the entire series was just a drug induced hallucination of one of the characters, but in the end everything pretty much made sense. I'm really left with just one question... -
Personally I'd just prefer Kawamori to go back to being just a mecha designer for Macross and let someone else direct and write for this new project. I know it won't happen though because it would be too much of hit to his prestige and ego. The thing is most Kawamori led projects tend to get bogged down with annoying characters, repetitive plots, and a liberal spicing of new age mystical bullcrap that ends up being the deus ex machina for the entire show. I know my opinion isn't that popular and some one will throw Mac Plus up in my face, but that is really the exception To his works. People also tend to forget the original show was a combined group effort, not one person bending the project to his will.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
renegadeleader1 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I just finished the series, and there is no sugar coating it the mysterious island/africa arc was painful to watch and just god awful. I think next time I watch it I'm just going to skip those episodes. Once the series finally got underway properly again it really hit a high mark. Nadia actually became less of a b**** and started actually developing as a character, in the end I kind of pity her given all that she went through. One thing that surprised me about this series was the massive amount of references and tributes to other scifi and anime in it. Sure you have the obvious stuff like several of Jules Verne's works, but then you have things from Yamato, Macross(captain...Global/Gloval I presume?), Gunbuster, and even the puppet show Thunderbirds. I can also see little bits in this show that laid the groundwork for Evangelion their next show. Still I have to wonder WTF goes on over at Gainax. It seems like they are great at creating concepts and great starts to shows, but then they all have that moment where they go off the deep end and into screwball territory. Sometimes they recover like Nadia other times they leave your screaming at the tv and giving it the finger, like Eva or the more recent Medaka Box Abnormal. About Medaka Box Abnormal... For those that didn't read the spoiler. F*** Medaka Box Abnormal's end, and F*** Gainax for the usual B.S. Now on to A Woman Called Fujiko Mine. -

I'm watching Nadia: The Secret Of Blue Water, and as much as I'm enjoying it Nadia is really getting on my nerves. She complains about everything, isn't very endearing, and spends most of her time calling everyone a murder. I don't mind her being a vegitarian, but to flip out at Nemo for shooting a wounded neo atlantian soldier who had already got one shot off at them just pisses me off. Its not like the soldier was unarmed or surrendering, he was actively trying to kill them. Other than that its been a rather enjoyable adventure series. -
I agree. While there are some exagerated features of a woman's figure in Hiroki Yagami's work its nowhere near the level of Over Dard, or Masaki Mizuhara. At least the G-Taste figures had a character to them all their own. Its a shame the series creator is focused more on Dear Boys the basketball manga these days than anything else. Then again the recent book+OVA attempt at a revival wasn't well recieved so I can't really blame him for doing what pays the bills.

Okay so they were schools based Finland(yah for at some point declaring war on everybody during the events of WWII), and what I'm guessing would be a sister academy of Oarai?t I also found out by doing some digging on my own that one of the academies shown losing in the opening round montage was based on Poland which I feel bad about because they were using TKS tankettes. A snowball has a better chance in hell than a standard TKS taking out any other type of tank. -

I finished the GuP OVA's and I'm a little disapointed with the content. Its mostly just the usual bonus fluff beach day, camping, etc. I did enjoy the ship tour episode that explaned a bit more about the world GuP takes place in. The winter episode with Erwin and the post victory celebration were interesting. On a side note in the ship tour episode they pass a display with plaques from the other schools, but there were a couple I didn't recognize. Any idea who they were? Mio's sisters school was the Iron Cross Pravda was the soviet style logo Anzio was the pizza style logo Saunders was blue shield with star Oarai was the black and blue ribbon St. Glorianna's is the tea cup Marginot with the cannon I'm guessing is the French based school So what were the other two? -

Just finished the tv series of Girls Und Panzer and will be moving on to the OVA's next. This was a great series with fun likeable characters, and a rather interesting plot. I especially loved the tank geek stuff. I hope one day it gets another season or series. Just out of curiousity how many of you who have seen this realized the ton of references to Kelly's Heroes the Clint Eastwood film are in this? -
