Good episode with some good pomf at the end. In anything else, I wouldn't much care for scenes like those, but in a world with a bunch of animal people that only want to cuddle and play fight, then it's awesome.

Fuck yeah, toast!
I do wonder what the greater conflict is going to be this season. I mean I guess they could just abandon any semblance of an overarching plot and stick to the war games. I wouldn't be opposed to a relaxing kind of entertainment like that.

Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie

Holy shit, why haven't I watched this sooner? Osamu Dezaki directed this amazing gem from 1982. It's like a perfect sci-fi adventure movie. God damn.

The story starts off with a bounty hunter named Jane Flower catching Cobra's eye as she turns in a bounty. He decide he's interested in a fling with her and introduces himself courtesy of the huge bounty on his head. As it turns out, she's in danger herself and looks to Cobra for help. He reluctantly agrees and quickly finds himself in over his head yet sees it through to the finish as a matter of principle.

The movie is beautiful and totally revels in motion. There's rarely any usage of stills as there's nearly always something going on onscreen be it wildlife in the sky, flowing clouds, or other weather effects. Computer screens are rife with moving images and effects animation abounds. Even shots of the background are often layered so a pan of the camera creates a parallax effect that gives the movie a great depth.

For fun, here's my first exposure to this movie, and in turn, Cobra itself: Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend video :lol Music aside, it has some nice clips from early on that gives one a feel for the movie in motion.

Quote:


These two shots were from the first 60 seconds of the movie. I was so in after that.
Quote:

Loved this shot for the sense of scale and how it featured the protagonists.
Quote:


Both foreground objects and reflection were prevalent in the movie. So much so I probably won't be surprised if I learn they're common in Dezaki's other work.
Quote:



Jane had some introspective dreamlike scenes that looked like they fell out of a Sharon Apple concert. Upon further research, it turns out Koji Morimoto did key animation on the movie. He worked on the Dirty Pair Project Eden's classy as fuck OP and the Macross Plus concert scenes so I was left wondering if this was his work or, at the very least, it influenced him.

A pretty random episode. Things happening all so suddenly, like rapid fire. I was really amused by the sheer madness that the show was going on, with the chase scene, the sudden and very random use of their toys, the engrish. It was a very enjoyable episode at the very least.

While some things have changed, others have not. If nothing else, they're more familiar with the game's basic mechanics and layout. Considering that 2000 people died while the beatahs were lonewolfing and lootwhoring it up, it's not really unreasonable for people to feel hostility towards them.

It's more of a problem with execution than concept.

Yeah, I watched the Space Adventure Cobra movie a while back and it was awesome. It's not so much the use of effects or quality of animation (which are high) that makes it as it is the abundance of visual innovation and style. It's like every couple of shots there will be something mesmerizing to look at onscreen, and it is largely lacking what I think of as the familiar Dezaki tricks - windswept still pans at dramatic moments and all that - making it all the more interesting and unpredictable to watch.

Plotwise it's pretty much a Saturday morning cartoon, and kinda pretty dumb when you get down to it, but it totally works for what it is.

Nice write-up.

I remember borrowing old VHS tapes of this and other series when I was a kid. Thanks to my cousins, despite being a 90s kid in Europe, I was exposed to the likes of Space Adventure Cobra, Macross, Starzinger, Silver Fang and even some Go Nagai works concurrently with the old Disneys, way before the more popular series I see people talk about here. Great times.

Wouldn't Mutta knowing about the green cards kind of defeat the purpose? You would think it wouldn't be an accurate measure of how he deals with those kinds of situations. Though I guess it has lead to some interesting results with Serika's debacle.

Oh well, this show still puts a smile on my face.

And the next anime from P.A. Works will be... Red Data Girl, an adaptation of the novel by Noriko Ogiwara, with original character design once again by Mel Kishida.

Official site

Story synopsis:
Quote:
A modern fantasy based on Japanese Shinto legends. Suzuhara Izumiko is a 15-year-old girl, who has been raised and protected in a shrine deep in the Kumano mountains. She is quite shy and destroys all the electric devices she touches. When she begins to think about going out of the mountains and moving to the city, her guardian Sagara Yukimasa recommends her to enter a high school in Tokyo and forces his son Miyuki to serve Izumiko for life. Miyuki and Izumiko repel each other but their relationship begins to change when a terrifying accident occurs on the school excursion. Izumiko learns her fate as the last representative (yorishiro) of a Himegami goddess and Miyuki learns of his duty as a guardian Yamabushi of Izumiko.

The double bluff on the audience was cute. It was a nice way to twist dramatic irony so that you could have a laugh at Mutta's expense.

As for everything else, the whole thing about the show is that everything he does is tied to luck somehow. Although I suppose they've totally forgotten/dropped that football thing that was referenced in the first episode by now.

So the fillers keep on going. This one is focusing on 6th company's captain and assistant captain's sword beasts getting trapped themselves in a lab and sill hijicks occur.

It is a step up above normal fillers mostly for the action, reaction faces and comedy that occurs. Then again, I actually like that stuff so it is appealing to someone!
