Just finished Baccano today. God, that anime was fantastic. Fantastic dub too. I can't even imagine this show in Japanese.
I would probably refuse to watch the original, which is a rare thing to say. If it wasn't for very clearly anime look, I would be convinced this was made for an American audience.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was made for a Western audience in mind. Very Tarantino-like elements in it. It's too bad it flopped in Japan, so a second season is unlikely. (especially since it came out in 2007 and still new new season)
Why do people point to their wrists when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?
I think I'm gonna miss Space Dandy for the first time since it started on Toonami... Good thing I don't feel very interested in this episode. Last week's episode was lame IMO, the only good ones this season so far have been the alternate universe, Ukuleleman and the guest animator one. I'm hoping the episodes will get better soon.
Attack on Titan: I think the story arc finally ended in the most epic way possible. BY PLACING DOWN A BOULDER! Also, it looks like people will still accuse Eren for stupid reasons. At least it's not as bad as anything ever in the Marvel Universe. Bleach: The only thing I have to say is that the dub voices have confirmed they're done recording so the end is nigh. Space Dandy: Despite some fantastic goofiness towards the end, this came across as a worse version of the other serious "Dandy meets a young kid" episode from last season. Naruto: Shippuden: This is more interesting based on a similar scene a few arcs later with a certain important character. Mainly the love the sand village has for their Kazekage. One Piece: So the strawhats started a war of sorts. This is really funny after seeing Alabasta, but to be fair, it isn't like they stopped that war because it was a war. Blue Exorcist: What a waste. If you don't care about having a creative vision (which as 1 to 1 adapters of manga, they likely don't) why would you even bother trying to turn it into your own story? Because this is so dumb. It's like the bad ending in that video game that everyone is so grateful there are better endings. Batman: Can't even pretend to care... Black Lagoon: Still surreal to see it going subbed at points. I'd love to see the meeting about how to translate these scenes and how they came to this conclusion. Also, a school girl's life is being ruined by what is technically Revy and Rock's side. Kinda fascinating stuff, a young girl forced to take over this organization.
I'm not sure if it was the best idea to include the recap episodes in the middle of Enies Lobby in the One Piece DVD releases.
I get why the cute segments at the end are there but it seems kinda unnecessary otherwise. On the other hand, anyone still buying the DVDs is buying ALL the DVDs and it's limited to a few episodes in this one alone, so whatever.
I had no idea the digimon movies were only 20 minutes in Japan. So they're actually OVA's? Huh, well now I don't blame America for putting them into one to call it a film but they should have just used the first two. Anyways, I decided to watch the first four movies. Bokura no war game is so fun.
I know that's 90% nostalgia but god I love that film. That's probably why I like Summer Wars so much. It's Bokura no War Game but perfected into a fantastic movie.
Hurricane Touchdown (movie three) was a really interesting film. It wasn't too original or did anything amazing but I really enjoyed it. It was kind of a surreal film. Or maybe that was just because of the terrible subs I had to read.
Diaboromon strikes back was a cool movie. Probably my least favorite of the four surprisingly though.
Now Digimkn Adventure the first movie. Wow I loved this film. Tai and Kari as babies were just so damn cute throughout the entire film. The animation, the music, Greymon vs giant parrot. I loved all of it. Especially the credits. It's just such a cute little film.
Of all the animes I've seen in my life, the Digimon movies have my favorite art style ever. I don't know what it is about them but I just love it. The thin lines and fluid animation it allows looks so cool. It also really makes facial reactions pop.
So yep. I know I've been pretty obsessed with Digimon lately. Oddly enough it has nothing to do with the 15th anniversary (although that helps). I just happened to pick the right year to rewatch Tamers. Lol
I rarely go back to tv shows from my childhood but I rewatched the first series in Japanese a few years ago. It was decent, but I was more into Adventure 02 and Tamers back in the day and I think that would remain true if I rewatched them.
@kkslider5552000 Love lab is one of my favorite animes. Its my favorite comedy at least. I have been waiting for this since I saw the anime on crunchyroll
