Ultimate Anime Madness

*Clicks play on Tailenders. 30min later video stops...* WAT

That 1.24GB download was only a 30min video....... RIDICULOUS

I suppose it suits it though. It was a pretty ridiculous 30min.. I prefer Redline. It was more insane.

It's a blu-ray rip man. Of course it's going to be huge.

I got into it rather late since there's only 2 episodes left, but Tiger & Bunny is actually really good. It's superheroes (American style superheroes, not Super Sentai heroes) in a city that's a stand-in for New York. The animation is top notch, and the action sequences are suitably flashy. There's that mix of animation and CG that I always dislike, but it's used well enough that I got used to it fast.
More importantly, the writing is gold. The setting of all the heroes participating in a tv show like Cops, but where they receive points and are ranked, was a turn off at first since it made their motivations seem shallow to me, but it is actually handled quite well. The witty banter between the characters reminds me a lot of the old Justice League Europe/International books. Finally, the plot lines are a constant escalation of shit going bad. It also doesn't hurt that the villain for the first twelve episodes is basically

Spoiler: show

a combination of Magneto and the Joker.

So I started watching Casshern Sins on Netflix. Man is it pretty. Can't say I'm all in on the story though.

So who's pumped for Rebuild of Madoka-Hen: Incubator's Counterattack?

(Hahahahahahaha I was making a Gundam joke but apparently it might ACTUALLY be called Incubator's Counterattack?!)

[Desov2]

Sounds hype, though I have no idea how they could make a new story considering the ending of the show is quite... conclusive to say the least. The incubators have no reason t o counterattack because they don't even know that it happened.

[Tekkactus]

Even if they did know, why would they want to stop it? Madoka's wish fixed a huge and fatal flaw in their system.

[Desov2]

Well a flaw at least for the girls. Recall that Kyubeh does say at the end that they would obviously would have done it the old way if they could since the energy generated is far greater than that of the current universe.

Did anyone see that 3D episode of One Piece? I swear that's the first time I've seen a 3D show from Japan done well, like really well.

[Ben]

So it's come to my attention that in Summer Wars, there's a scene where Terry Bogard is transformed into a rabbit, and sent into the internet from the first digimon movie to flash kick some mother fuckers.




... I'm watching this on the weekend.

the internet from the first digimon movie

It's the same director. Basically he said "man, I could have made Our War Game so much better if I hadn't been constrained to using Digimon!" and so he did.

3D one piece? I LOVE One Piece.. however I haven't seen any of the anime.. I'm reading the manga.. Up to Volume 60.. where the Paramount War ends.

Summer Wars is interesting. I quite enjoyed it.

The other day I realised I had bought season 1 of The Big O and have never watched it.. Watched 2 episodes then started watching Gun X Sword instead

It's enjoyable. The story is kind of Kill Bill with robots in it..

[Tekkactus]

Also, Madara is totally Obito. It's too obvious not to be true.

Just quoting this post from 2009 because hahaha, fuck Naruto.

[pie]

Nice spoilers. Also, how the fuck does that even make sense?

[Tekkactus]

Hell if I know. I stopped reading years ago. I just saw that spoiler and laughed.
