Saw the second episode and I'm dropping out on this one.

The anime takes away a lot of the funny, and I'm not happy. The music is nice though.

Outta pure curiosity, is Beck the manga in which the drummer is a transvestite and the guitarist is a Mohawk?

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Thu Oct 28, 2004 2:02 pm

If anyone is wondering, the Cutie Honey link on Animesuki is for the OLD SCHOOL Cutie Honey and not the new ova. I downlaoded it thinking it was the ova, but found out it wasnt, but hell I'm not complaining.

Ah that's the one! Stupid "B"'s in the titles got me confused.

Too bad it's not in anime form, Bremen is funny as hell.

Holy shit, where'd the preview for episode 8 of Maria-spring come from? I mean that caught completely off guard, it was fucking awesome. I can see them all tricked out ghetto style.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Thu Oct 28, 2004 10:27 pm

Finally got around to getting Macross Zero 5. Awesome episode.

it was pure ownage, that's what it was!

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:18 am

Damn right it was fucking pure ownage, I didn't see that coming at all. I mean the nya / meow preview for 7 pulled some happy strings of mine, but 8's preview had me waving my hands back and forth in the air while chanting sakura, sakura. Haha, too god damn good man.

On that note, this curly haired girl greatly intrigues me. I've seen her in lots of fanart potraying a Yumi x CURLY girl realtionship, so hopefully my downloads are done when I get home later tonight so I CAN DIG INTO 8 and 9 AND kiss my monitor after it. Thank you for EVER mentioning the show Doom, I don't think I've owed you as much as I do for this.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:31 am

lol

MZ 5 was great (as in not Magus Zeal

) but MZ still < MP overall.

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:33 am

why

?

and what does mp =?

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:38 am

macross plus

i think you'd prolly like mahou shoujotai mikey

Kokaku · Post by **Kokaku** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:24 am

Zero's ending was okay. It only gave me a lower opinion of the sort series over all.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:34 am

I thought it turned out pretty good though I expected Sara and Shin to "survive". I like the open endedness of its though and I've grown to like this couple. If more Macrosses are ever made, it would be nice to see minor references to them.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 2:37 am

well, the overall plot was a bit lacking... though i'm sure i missed 9999 mayan myth references, which pisses me off, but oh well. next step: sdf remake with updated graphics please.

Garbo · Post by **Garbo** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:01 am

Well personally I was bored to tears during the nonfighting/nonboobies bits of Macross Zero !

Kokaku · Post by **Kokaku** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:09 am

Is there any reference to these events in Macross 7 or Robotech Masters?

I would have rather had Zero talk about the great war prior to the arrival of Macross and the reconstruction afterward.

Or a new 24-26 episode series directed by Shoji Kawamori.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:41 am

zero IS about the endgame of the UN Spacy/anti UN war, but no it didn't elaborate nearly enough on things. the main link that zero has to the original is the correlation between mayan myth and the protoculture, and of course focker and la salle.

i'd like to see kawamori make a new show that doesn't have any tree-hugging sublimity in it.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:51 am

Well, the main focus of it was the Mayan culture thing and much less the great war. I thought it was intended to be a stand alone story anyway. Going in to episode 3 (1-3 in one day), I knew nothing about Macross but understood all the details pretty well.

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:52 am

I think I downloaded it once by accident. Tweeny witches or something? Started out with a girl falling off a part of her school building that was under construction and then ends up in a world where everyone else is a witch or something, right?

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:56 am

Whatever happened to that t.a.t.u movie that was going to be made? I thought it was a pretty hilarious concept when it was first announced but Shinichiro Watanabe will apparently play a role in it. (? wtf ?)

omfg GO WATCH MACROSS PLUS

mikey: yup

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 4:23 am

Because I'm a lazy pirate, I'll need to find someone who has this old anime.

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 4:46 am

I'll check it out sometime Doom.

And I caught up with Maria-sama. Great, great stuff.

WANNA BE MY PETITE SOEUR DOOMBEE?

Yes, that's Mahou Shojoutai Arisu and it ownz! It's 50 episodes, if I remember right, and the raws are up to 25 or 26 while the subs aer still quite behind. Go watch it!

Anybody happen to know where I could download the raw to Macross Zero 5? l33t-raws hasn't posted it at all and I can't find any other raw groups for it.

Finally saw Yakitate! Japan episode 1 yesterday and I can see why everyone raves about the series. Definietly has an addiciting quality to it and I give props for the choice of voice actors/actresses. I still find it funny that Takehito Koyasu is in this.

I was skipping through my Viewtiful Joe raws when I realized that Joe was played by Tomokazu Seki. I was laughing so hard when he said "Henshin a Go! Go! Baby!"

TheDarkOne · Post by **TheDarkOne** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:12 pm

but Yakitate anime is far inferior to manga

and Azuma's VA is god aweful

{{{{

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:26 pm

Yeah, Joe sounded like him from what I heard in the trailer and the ep 1 raw... now if someone would finally sub that shit.

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 6:06 pm

TheDarkOne wrote:but Yakitate anime is far inferior to manga

Well, I havn't read the manga yet so I have nothing to compare the anime with. As soon as I do read the manga I'll probably have the same opinion as you do.

I was just watching an episode of Beck with a friend and the character designs for the anime remind me of Kare Kano's character designs. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same person. Anyways, I didn't really see the entire episode but from what I can tell it looked quite interesting. I suppose the manga is better than the anime as well.

TheDarkOne · Post by **TheDarkOne** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 6:35 pm

so far they're both pretty damn good!

Gray · Post by **Gray** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 6:42 pm

I'm pretty sure Masami Tsuda and Harold Sakuishi are as unrelated as Gainax and Madhouse
any similarity between kyouki and arima is purely coincidential

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 9:34 pm

So what's next now that I've caught up on Maria-sama?

(M-M-Maria-sama, M-Maria-sama!

Miteru, miteru!

M-M-Maria-sama, M-Maria-sama!

Miteru, miteru!

Ichiou, Ichiou!

Sakura, sakura!)

Let me ramble off:

School Rumble
Gankoutsousous
Tweeny Witches
My Hime
Himeko no MIKODE

How many episodes are there to Maria-sama anyway Doom? 13? Why'd it stop?

I was just noting that it reminded me of Kare Kano's designs but since the characters designers are different then it is coincidental that the two are similar.

Time to watch Count of Monte Cristo...hopefully.

stopped?

you mean... go bug ayu since they're slow shits.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 12:53 am

New FMA season?

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=5271

According to Japanese fansite Fullmeta.com, an official announcement regarding a 3rd Full Metal Panic anime will be made in the September issue of Dragon Magazine. Yasuhiro Takemoto is said to be the director, but not other details are available.

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 1:01 am

Don't you mean FMP and not FMA.

It looks like Dreamworks has licensed the Casshern movie. I don't know why anybody would want to license this horrible movie.

www.animenation.com

According to the Hollywood Reporter magazine, Dreamworks Pictures has acquired the American distribution rights to the acclaimed live action Japanese Casshern movie.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 1:10 am

Yeah, FMP.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 2:05 am

That news is quite old now, isn't it?

Still awaiting details though...

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 2:07 am

It is? I knew there was a rumor going around but this is the first time I've seen it "officially" announced.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 5:01 am

speak of the devil

New Full Metal Panic (2004-10-29 17:31:27)
Kadokowa Shoten has officially announced that a new Full Metal Panic! TV series, Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid, is to be produced. The series will once again be directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto, but is expected to be a serious adaptation of the two Full Metal Panic! Owaru Day By Day novels.

that's the fumoffu director btw

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 5:31 am

And Day by Day is what happens after the first season, right?

omg this makes me so stupidly happy I could hugyou doom.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 5:34 am

yup

for the record, i hope they do a better job of making 2nd raid stand alone, without TOO many loose ends, because those novels do NOT represent the terminus of the FMP saga, so at the end of them there are still loose ends to be had.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 5:49 am

pwn indeed

And I think Owaru Day by Day are the last two books in the original Full Metal Panic novel series. There was a group translating it but I forgot the name and I've lost the link to their site since. Anyways, yea, this will be great.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 5:58 am

nope, they're followed by A Dancing Very Merry Christmas, which is currently being translated (End of Day by Day having been finished).

the site is http://www.boku-tachi.net/

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 6:14 am

Oh, even better. I don't mind being wrong in this case.
