You mean episode 26?:lol
A few of the upcoming episodes have pretty dull action sequences because Sunshine is so overpowered that the monster-of-the-week enemies don't get the chance to actually do anything before getting Gold Forte Burst'd to oblivion.
It looks like we won't get a repeat of that with Moonlight, however, since the villains are getting a significant power-up right after her reintroduction.

Man they should have had Redline here
REDLINE is obviously too cool for New York.

Macross Zero is the exception to the rule. It's almost straight up mecha porn.
DY_nasty said:
There's still the Frontier movie!
It's not bad. I liked it more than the show itself and the promise of 100% new animation for the sequel makes me giddy. I'm not ashamed.
Zero was fun to look at... I just kinda wish more people would go back to the old days of non-cg machines. Its good when its good, but few do it good.luka said:Macross Zero is the exception to the rule. It's almost straight up mecha porn.

There's a sequel?!
DY_nasty said:
Yeah, I found I didn't actually hate the CG in Zero as much as I thought I would. In Frontier it looks really cheap, but Zero looks cool in a rough kind of way and they seem to take a lot of care in the details and articulations like they would if it were all hand-drawn.
Sequel to the movie, yes. Next year. The first mirrored the first 7 or 8 episodes of the show with alterations, but the next movie will be entirely new.
Fixed.DY_nasty said:
Watch it NOW.
Also you are a better man then me. You have actually watched every macross series in existence, when i still haven't watched macross 7 past the first 3 episodes.:lol although maybe i can out-do you by watching macross II. I actually own it all on VHS.:lol
Eh what the heck, might as well do a synopsis of what I'm watching.
Fist of the North Star 47: Raoh makes lolis shudder in fear, while Razor-Nails Oberstein thinks he can step to him. Ken has been lollygagging with his brother Sick Jesus so his overpowered self isn't there to save Oberstein from the trouncing he is sure to get.

The world is against me, trying to make me buy a backwards compatible PS3.
I'm scared of Macross II. I think everyone is...
:lol I'm torn... I don't want to start on Crest because I know it'll be a while before I can buy the other Banner stuff. YYH should be showing up no later than tomorrow.Lafiel said:

Indeed. But the plot for this episode was rather special.Branduil said:
So our hero dreams that this girl he likes is getting married to this other man. Considering she's 15, that seems pretty unlikely.
Anyway, because he has psychic powers he takes it pretty seriously. The next day we see the girl get dropped off at school by a mysterious man in a suit. She's also sporting a ring on her finger. Then the girl keeps getting phone calls from someone, and eventually she leaves to go somewhere.
Our hero stalks her (obviously) and finds her at a chapel, wearing a wedding dress, with a man, at the alter in front of a priest.
Suffice to say, things get resolved in an improbable manner.

Does ignorance count as a misunderstanding? I remember the "Allison" half of Allison to Lilia being based on the fact that the dude couldn't read any signals.

Oh man, I totally forgot about that. Looks like Mio won. :lol

I'm not going to read any reviews, but I hope there's enough substance to go with the style. It does look good in the bits and pieces that have made it online anyway.

I warned everyone about that office in Heat Guy J 19 :
But no one listened.
Heat Guy J 23 :
Why does everyone stand in the same spot of the office all day, every day? It's like the god dammed Normandy. Oh god, it really is like a Bioware setting. That's why they made it so huge to begin with, the knew by the end of the show it would be filled with characters:
Actually, this was seriously the best episode of the series so far. I really didn't expect that, because the last few have been below awful.
Why did this one work? It didn't have any fights or plot movement or anything of that nature. It did have a solid emotional core though, and Monica's interactions with the crew were priceless. I'm amazed that they took the piss out of themselves with that Boma stuff, amazing.
But no one listened.

So, Darker Then Black is an awesome show, so is the sequel even though it suffered from a sever lack of episodes, when are we getting a sequel?
you are thinking Star Drive...zoku88 said:
Prime crotch said:
Yep, Darker than Black is pretty amazing, my favourite Shonen Anime
However, don't watch the sequel, its trash and rubbish. Watch Gaiden OVA series which kind of conscludes the story (to certain degree as they have made the series as convoluted as hell)
I'm glad the only thing I knew about Redline was the trailer 7th linked pages (ages) ago. It was ridiculous fun watching everything unfold.
Unknown went over to FF14.
Sigh, spoke too soon.7Th said:
A few? Hope it isn't too many. Sunshine's first fight was some stellar stuff though. It's almost unfair how she has the best animation sequences. There's such a splendor to them unlike Blossom's and Marine's.

Yeah, except this was even worse.Lafiel said:
I guess I should explain what the deal with the ring and dress and the wedding was.
So Auykawa's sister was getting married, which obviously means that Auykawa had to help her sister by doing a practice run of the whole ceremony with the groom...because the actual bride couldn't for some reason? Erm.
And as payments she got a ring.
And then they act like he's crazy for thinking she was about to get married.
No, I'm pretty sure all those things were pretty powerful signs.
Amazingly, the previous episode was also based around a psychic dream, except for the other girl.

It's possible, but those delays are mostly because of reverse importing in Japan. It'll be a year or two if ever. I don't mind too much though unless it's Bandai who never brings anything over.icarus-daedelus said:

Alright the weekly BD, import, video quality, and release notification post!
- Funimation plans to release Summer Wars Blu-ray in 2011 Spring.
-Eden of the East BD quality rating:http://www.fanboyreview.net/2010/10/09/eden-of-the-east-blu-ray-early-review/

So new scenes look pretty good(~A) but reused scenes from TV, the same(~B)
- Arakawa Under the Bridge 2 BD vol.1 coming out on 1/12(link) 5250yen. It will include first two eps. Bonus/special features: Artbox to hold first & second season, end cards, 12p booklet, cast audio commentary. Vol.2 is 5250yen. vol.3~5 are 7350yen, each of them includes 3 episodes. Since the first season had the BD release, BD release of the second season is not so surprising. What DID surprise me was the artbox inclusion.

- Soul Eater Blu-ray BOX confirmed. BOX1 1/26, BOX2 3/23 26250yen. Spec hasn't changed much from what I already listed before but neowing lists English subtitles and dubbing, so that's new. Special/bonus features: Audio Commentary(1, 6, 8, 14, 19, 21, 24 for box 1 and 28, 34, 39, 40, 45, 51 for box 2), Non-credit OP/ED, PV, TV spot, and Soul Eater Repeat Show OP/ED. Digipak. I think FUNi will release this eventually...
- Tail Enders Blu-ray 1/28 7140yen(link) Special/bonus features: illustrations making, character introduction clips, deleted scenes C&D parts, conti(layout), wallpapers, short clips called "めばえあにめ 百々" and "めばえあにめGarden" which were apparently very popular on nicovideo, 64p booklet, and a prologue manga(24p).
