Turned against the show? Against Toonami-gaf? Please. Think of all the times I've been here for you guys!
It's a lot easier to watch Unicorn in OVA form since it's easier to ignore the plot and just admire the visuals there. The TV recut somehow makes it harder to do that.
also we don't actually know what the new schedule is aside from Lupin being 1:30, so for all we know, HxH is going to come before Lupin, and TG gets moved down to after.

At this point, I'm starting to see Tokyo Ghoul getting the Unicorn treatment if the ratings don't pickup.

Farewell, Foolish Samurai.
LoL at poor Mordicai getting blown up at 4:00 in. The show does look pretty fun. Definitely reminds me of League of Super Evil too.
This is dope.

Anybody playing Phantom Dust on Win10/X1?
People have compared it to HxH's Nen on GAF a few times, and I can see the connection now that I've played a bit.

Let's just say that the 2nd season makes the 1st one look like art in comparison.
Real talk, despite not being a Popeye fan (it's alright), I thought the test footage looked really nice, especially since it was going for that "3D trying to emulate 2D" style that, when pulled off correctly like in Paper Boy (that short before Wreck-It Ralph) or Guilty Gear Xrd and Ace Attorney 5 & 6, looks fantastic.
It's a shame nothing came of it....

I tried, especially since the animation is fucking beautiful, but it just got to be too bad.

I guess I'm just used to Gundam being Gundam. I like Victory Gundam so I'm pretty much just used to the franchise.

It's so full of cheese that it should be sponsored by Kraft.
I kind of have not seen any episodes either and I'm happy that they're doing the marathon immediately after the finale.
I may talk about them, but I'll add a spoiler tag with warning that it's a spoiler, if that works for you. Treat it like any other show.
Did they ever actually do that or was it just a fever dream?
It's on the wrong side most likely. That's OT news, regardless of whether it's a gaming property or not.

WHO DID THIS MONSTROSITY?!
If they toned down the boner jokes in City Hunter it could easily be crazy popular in the US.
FOOOORRRR NOOOKKKKKIIIIIIEEEEEEE?????
Black Lagoon could be easily adaptable as well.
I'm still surprised no studio has tried to adapt Jin Roh The Wolf Brigade. They could literally remake it scene for scene from the anime movie and have an excellent live action movie and it would resonate like crazy in this day and age especially, even if they white washed it.
To me, the more rooted in reality a series is, the better chance it has to being adapted, because hollywood feels like they need to tone down the "weird" in order to appeal to a wider (i.e. more profitable) audience.
Death Note is a good example of that because when you get down to it, it's basically "dude can kill people by writing their name down in book, police try to capture him while he figures out ways to outwit them & a rival detective" & the world its set in is very similar to ours.
Meanwhile, if you took something like....I guess let's go with Bleach, that would be harder because it's removed from reality & it would involve a crapton of CGI & all that. Dragon Ball Evolution is the perfect example of taking the majority of elements that made the series popular/unique & sandpapering it down to the most bland hollywood tropes to the point it looks nothing like the series it's based on.

Oh yeah, it's basically a Japanese take on a bunch of R-rated hard-action hollywood movies. Hell, I could see someone like John Woo directing it just for all the gun fire.

simon belmont looks all wrong, did the animators forget he's suppose to look like this?
next they'll forget alucard, dracula's son, is suppose to look like this:
It's Trevor in the Netflixvania show.
And we'll pretend that other show never existed.
I've never seen it and have never played any Castlevania game. *runs*

No, they should play one of the better castlevanias
but trevor is the main character of castlevania 3, not castlevania. did anyone at netflix even play the games
From what some have said in Gaming, it does seem to be based more on the 3rd game, which is interesting. In fact, it seems the producer described the show as "Castlevania 3 meets Game of Thrones." It's gonna be kind of surprising to see that of all the video game show adaptations, especially from the US, this could possibly be the best one. Though it's not hard to top what came out of the '80s & '90s like Captain N, Battletoads, Bubsy, Pole Position, Power Team, Pac-Man.....

I have always heard Ecclesia being one of the better ones.
The only Castlevania I truly played was Rondo of Blood via VC, which was rather good. I barely played SotN before it got pushed into my X360 backlog & I want to say I tried....one of the GBA ones, but only for a few hours. One of these days, I want to try Super Castlevania IV. I don't know if I want to play the NES ones due to their infamous difficulty.
I also played that weird multiplayer one on Xbox Live/PSN as well, but it's not a true Castlevania & holy hell was that game difficult when playing alone.

Do you have a death wish.
