No announcements about Beyond good and Evil 2 or Last Guardian? Am disappoint.

Well what was showed was enough for GAF to take a breather...
The chat yesterday was also crazy as hell.

I thought this was comedic arc, but what I got is some badass stuff. Never expected they gonna use the 4th wall element like that, Gintoki not just fighting in anime story, but he fighting to save the anime.. that's so damn cool, the ending just amazing and also very symbolic against the moe culture lol

I only have one more arc before caught up T_________T
 
PSYCHO-PASS 07 & 08

Excellent episodes

Psycho-Pass%20-%2008.jpg

Waouh ..what a perfect antagonist ... Such a beautifull piece of ****
This arc managed to provide me with both context and background on the characters making such a great set of events.

Well the girl ..well her death was still something despite how great of a b***h she was but that was because , yet again of this absurd set of elements ... Then again , without the psycho pass system or not , she would have ended that way to.

This anime rocks but the psycho pass system is a joke as it is ... it's like they forgot to put the correct safeties because it got used by everyone.
 
That feels further away than it really is.

And it still won't redeem the worst Mecha anime of all time.

SPEAKING OF: Anime GAF, Gundam AGE excluded, what IS the worst mecha anime of all time?
The worst one I have actually watched some of is Daitarn 3. The first episode is one of the most hilariously awful things I've ever seen. I try to get through one episode a year, but it just keeps getting worse.

Banjo still manages to be quite the badass, though.

Too bad Garzey's Wing doesn't count as mecha.
 
Can't help thinking that Sentai Filmworks is a stupid name. Do they even release Sentai? :lol

"When asked by a fan on Facebook what the reason was for calling the company "Sentai", CEO, Matt Greenfield responded, "It's a multi-layered pun, mostly for the benefit of the Japanese. Although Sentai can be translated as Squadron, Regiment or Flotilla, it basically means a team or group assembled with specific training and equipment for a specific purpose. Plus, Sentai was formed to help keep the anime industry alive in the U.S., so the superhero aspect is a double-play on that that American can get.""

Those sentai shows come to the us? (never saw one before).

Still not as bad as Manga Entertainment, who release anime, not manga.

Whenever members of the general public talk about "manga" when they mean "anime" or vice-versa, I mentally blame Manga Entertainment for everything.

Its easier to compare your fast read to real time flow, than 20+ minute for wasting a round.

The match are also more fast and brutal without hear the boxer talking in the head for 5 minute or so.
So everyone speed talks?

Actually, the rate you read doesn't have much to do with it either. Each panel in manga does NOT represent equidistant intervals of time, and since Tezuka the medium has openly flaunted this freedom. If it needs to take successive snapshots of a scene to heighten emotional impact, it will. As I recall, there's one manga series that stretched a game for a hundred chapters. However, anime is more like traditional film in that its ability to warp time is more limited, but you'll still get things drawn out for either economic reasons, sourcing reasons, or lazy adaptation (*cough* Jojo).

Oh, and as a matter of factual accuracy, fights in the main Ippo anime all take about an episode worth outside the last one. You don't get 20 minutes on a round. :p

That's a sick joke I'm not getting, right?

Yes. Sentai haven't given out any details about the disc release of From The New World yet, but it's scarily plausible that they'll advertise it with Saki and Maria alone.

(there are a few DVD/BD retailer exclusive pre-order bonuses that trade on the Saki/Maria relationship more explicitly, but I doubt they'll use any of them).

I have no idea what they'll go with, but it won't be the sketches from the Japanese release I'm almost certain. My guess is they'll do something based on the very first piece of promo art - the one with child Saki and the bakenezumi on the hill - for the first collection.

Sentai covers and advertising for shows are typically pretty bad. The play up the sex, give bad titles, and are just terrible in general.

I'm not going to argue with the the point given some of the covers I've seen from them recently, and the last point is up for debate on a title-by-title basis (not going to defend PenguinDrum, but their Xenoglossia release is perfectly fine), but how many shows have they released with bad titles recently?

Serious question, by the way - I'm so laser-focused on their releases for titles I'm already interested in that I cease paying attention to details post-announcement for anything else.

Oh come on you know what I mean..

Oneliner to describe split second thought such like "oh crap this punch gonna got me" way more slower with Voice actor narrating with groaning voice, plus all the mind game stuff.

Well I mainly refering to the Sendou fight and Takamura vs Hawk, I admit I'm skipping a lot.. so maybe I shouldn't judge every fight stretching like that.
Don't get your hopes up.

STILL. I'm seriously having a hard time believing you guys aren't pulling my leg o_O

I mean that's... And with From the New World of all things?!

Um, it is a joke. I was just explaining the aspects you're missing. Why someone would choose that kind of awful design to parody a sentai cover. Sure, it won't be that bad, but it'll likely trade on some of the worst things to get sales.

I honestly just know of their more infamous examples, which is why people make fun of them. I feel like sentai's been getting better in general as time goes on so it wouldn't surprise me if they've gone with better titles lately.

That's fair enough, it's just when people complain about that stuff, I just instantly think of Cat Planet Cuties, which was actually Funimation!

Didnt Zettai Karen Children become Psychic Squad?

Can you imagine releasing something called Absolutely Lovely Children in the States and the horror of those opening it up to discover one of them has the personality of a dirty old man and the first episode involves crotch lasers?

It's the same with Let's Go Play, which became "Cat Planet Cuties", because Let's Go Play sounds like something for toddlers (although not a Sentai title).

I wouldn't be too worried about what Sentai is going to call Shinsekai. "From the New World" seems like a title they'd keep. Tsuritama, on the other hand, is super duper screwed.

I'm just poking fun at Americanized titles in general and there isn't supposed to be any real implication that Sentai is particularly guilty of bad titling. I just like making "worst case scenario" boxes!

The sad thing is, as bad a title Funky Fishing is, it's probably one of the least bad americanized names that show can get. I shutter to think it may get a title like "Fishing Bud" or "Space Fishing".

It is fun. And I would totally buy Funky Fishing and Psychics Gone Wild.
