The movie was in the best of hands

Yeah, probably going to watch Arrival first, but I'm more interested in his stuff now. Never really looked into him before.

is it true that Neo Yokio was actually sponsored by Toblerone?

[BBboy20]

AOOOOOOO!Rage

Lu Bu's last stand in the anime Souten Kouro

...But yeah, I just watch Jojo now.

There isn't a Warriors game of this yet?

If you stop to think about it, isn't everything anime?

It's the best art direction in modern entertainment.

I think Sameul Jackson admitted to watching hentai

Well, he did do the Kite movie.

"J.J. Abrams Developing Remake of Japanese Hit ‘Your Name’ With Paramount"

WHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Lens flares.

Oh, holy shit, I didn't know the new Blade Runner was by the guy who did Arrival! I haven't watched that yet either, but I really want to since I've read the original story and I'm blown away by people telling me that he managed to do it faithfully.

Alright, yes, this definitely sounds like the kind of guy who'd get Dune right.

I need to see Enemy and Prisoners.

 

[Hellwarden]

Eventually, we're gonna get that Cowboy Bebop movie.

And it's probably gonna be terrible.

It's not that bad. It's non-canonish but does fit in between two episodes.

 

[cntr]

They should air Patlabor.

still one of the best opening scenes to a movie

[Moaradin]

Still one of the best "awakening" moments in anime. Togashi seems to be really good at those.

Terra Ventus.
Though it should be Terra Ventus Ignis

Lol at Uraurishima fighting with a fishing pole like Gon. Togashi is surprisingly good at some hype ass moments.

 

[YoodiHoshi]

HxH & Lupin aside, I'm pretty satisfied with this week

 

[Zonic]

More people watched Bebop over Outlaw Star?

MORE PEOPLE WATCHED AOT2 OVER BEBOP?!

 

[Line_HTX]

Well, some early episodes of Outlaw Star aren't that great though. The payoff is what counts in the end.

 

[Hellwarden]

So out of curiosity, and maybe a bit out of boredom, I decided to check out the Monster Hunter Stories demo.

Man, that game has some polish I wasn't expecting. It's pretty, and runs pretty well. If I wasn't broke right now, I'd probably pick it up.

 

[Xe4]

Man I really need to catch up on OK KO. I freaking love that show. I knew they were having on Captain Planet, but I had no clue they were gonna fit in a freaking JoJo reference!

 

[Jarate]

I take it people are not taking kindly too this most recent arc of HxH

 

[Slamtastic]

I take it people are not taking kindly too this most recent arc of HxH

Bisky and training is great
I have no investment in the card game, who wins it, what the rules are, or what the cards do.

 

[YoodiHoshi]

I take it people are not taking kindly too this most recent arc of HxH

There's a reason the anime itself was rushing through it until this point

Man I really need to catch up on OK KO. I freaking love that show. I knew they were having on Captain Planet, but I had no clue they were gonna fit in a freaking JoJo reference!

Also, a JoJo reference!?!? WHERE!????

 

[Morlas]

Yeah Ian JQ is a pretty big nerd....he's also Rebecca Sugar's boyfriend

Spoiler

she's the creator of steven universe and also all those marceline episodes that made you sad

 

[zulux21]

I take it people are not taking kindly too this most recent arc of HxH

I like it. Greed island is a lot of fun. likely my second favorite HxH arc.

my favorite was Yorknew though, so it is a step down from that.

 

[BlastCore]

I take it people are not taking kindly too this most recent arc of HxH

I had to deal with enough bullshit card games with my High School friends.

 

[YoodiHoshi]

High School? Mostly Elementary and Junior High for me

But yeah, it's an arc that doesn't work too well as an anime apparently

 

[cntr]

Yeah, OK KO is another show I need to check out.

I take it people are not taking kindly too this most recent arc of HxH

I don't think anyone hates it, but yeah, it's not exactly lighting fires.

 

[Zonic]

My issue is that I want to like it, but I feel as though I'm being given WAAAY too much information at once, & half of it doesn't seem crucial to the plot, so about halfway through an episode, it starts becoming noise because I don't know what I should be focusing on & what's just Togashi doing "world building". Not to say I dislike it by any means, but it gets harder to keep the same levels of interest/concentration compared to earlier arcs.

I don't know who made the comparison, but someone said it'd be like if Oda decided to go into detail over how every single thing in Water 7 worked. The world itself is built just fine, I don't need all this extra info that in the long run means nothing at the plot at large despite knowing they put a lot of effort into thinking it over.

 

[cntr]

Togashi's brilliant at coming up with ideas, not so brilliant at actually explaining them.

 

[Zonic]

Exactly. He's doing waaaaay too much telling & not enough showing.

It's like that friend who tries to show you his giant collection of stuff that you don't have interest in. You can tell they put a whole lot of work getting that collection & how much they care for it, but after a while, you lose interest because he just keeps talking & talking about each individual thing in their collection.

Or hell, imagine if during a Yu-Gi-Oh, the duelist decided to explain every single card in their deck, INCLUDING the ones that they never use during the match.

That's the best way I can describe it. I still want to see where the show is going, but I'm also in that "can we PLEASE move to the next arc?" phase.

 

[cntr]

totally unrelated but

 

[Crocodile]

Man this thread went places recently LOL

Meanwhile in OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes.

Further context.

Putting aside that this is awesome, why is this even a thing? Bringing back Captain Planet is so random. Kudos on them for bringing back the original VAs. Is the reason just Kwame and the Captain are back is because only their VAs could return?

I wonder if there would be value in bringing back Captain Planet as a show? Maybe in a more nuanced/less ham-fisted kind of way but still faithful to the tone and themes of the original.

 

[JadedWriter]

We didn't even get to the best parts of Greed Island yet...

 

[Morlas]

We didn't even get to the best parts of Greed Island yet...

The best parts of Greed Island have nothing to do with cards

 

[HStallion]

I feel like people focus a little bit too much on the card game when even most of the characters don't focus on it except to get stronger by collecting cards. It only really comes into play in a major factor in the second half of the Greed Island arc. The first half its just window dressing because Togashi obviously likes card games.

Yeah it's mostly just a training arc with the addition of slightly nicer Genkai.
