Sakurazuka posted:So, does the racist bug manga ever actually have a story or is it: bug people go to Mars -> show off bug powers -> get massacred -> repeat forever? This was my main problem with it. After they killed off the third entire cast of characters, my patience wore thin.

Sindai posted:Yes there's a lot of intrigue and human/human fighting with the nations betraying each other to get access to superior bug hybrid mutation technology. The first mission where almost everyone dies is just the prologue. What about the second and third missions where almost everyone dies? Are those just the prologue?

Zorak posted:It's selling good as Snow Hatalion indicated, but my understanding was they kind of expected it to sell better? I could have sworn I read something on the subject but I'm honestly having trouble finding it again so I may just be misremembering this entire thing due to sheer Internet. So it's a Tomb Raider situation where objectively, it's selling pretty drat well, but the maker just had really high expectations for it?

Do you like Japanese women singing Russian WWII songs? Girls Und Panzer has you covered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgweofjxZCU Edit: And apparently there's some copyright issue with Katyusha because this scene wasn't in the simulcast version and the dub replaced it with an instrumental of Korobeiniki, aka loving TETRIS.

ninjewtsu posted:I just looked up this "Horizon" thing on Wikipedia and the "plot" section of the article is truly a thing of beauty. Never before have I seen a paragraph where every sentence made me go "woah, wait, hold on a second, what the gently caress?" quite as strong as that. Holy gently caress, THAT'S what it's about? I thought it was just a mecha thing.

madmac posted:Fate/Stay Night Finally, something that doesn't look like some kids first anime project. I was worried going in that it couldn't possibly overcome my general apathy towards FSN at this point, but it's honestly rad enough that I think I'll stick with it. (I'm a bit confused though, I thought this was like a different route or something and so far it seems identical to the original FSN except for being from Rin's perspective.) Episode 00 covered the prologue, which you read before starting any route, and episode 01 is going to cover the same span of time, but from Shirou's perspective. These first three days are also common to all routes.

The Black Stones posted:That may be an initial reaction to simply hearing a slightly pitched voiced. I didn't hear that myself, and having watched the series to completion subbed and dubbed her VA does a good job of selling what her character is like. Watch a full episode and I think you'd easily accept the different voice and see that it suits her pretty well. This is the only thing I'm afraid of losing in the Psycho-Pass dub. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wetMkQNQ4a4

Okay, what the gently caress.  picturequote:Along with the plans for My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, publishing imprint Gagaga Bunko's 2015 announcements include an anime adaptation of Hirotaka Akagi's Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai - Manmaruban (A Boring World Where the Concept of 'Dirty Jokes' Does Not Exist"), a dystopian comedy in which two teen rebels commit terrorist acts against a society that has outlawed crass humor. Light novels are trash.

Maid, not nun. It's not Eda's Blood Trail. Also, Roberta's Blood Trail is commendable for compressing an arc that, at its end, made up about half of the manga's entire chapter count and that even the author admits went on for way too long and was way too slow into something that's actually watchable that takes like a quarter of the time and loses nothing, except for a slightly altered ending.

Based on the success of Space Dandy, Funimation is going to be dubbing more series as they currently air in Japan. The first two series to be streamed with Broadcast Dubs will be Laughing Under the Clouds and Psycho-Pass 2 in November.

Space Dandy was a gamble that seems to have paid off pretty big, at least ratings and feedback wise. We'll see how it fares once the US discs come out, which I'm assuming they're waiting until the entire thing is out in Japan to release.

Yeah, doing it for Psycho-Pass makes sense. It's not like they're airing them on Toonami like Space Dandy, it's gonna be a stream for subscribers.

Robert Denby posted:Or the "Mellow Maromi" episode of "Paranoia Agent". I've seen that with a group of animators and they spent half the episode kind of averting their gaze from the screen. Any teenage anime fan who says to themselves "I'm gonna live in Japan and make anime!" should not only watch that episode, but the entirety of Paranoia Agent. It's a brilliant wake-up call.

Leading up to the CGWORLD creative conference next week, Studio Khara and CyberConnect2 have created dueling shorts that will be refereed at the event by Kamikaze Douga's Junpei Mizusaki and their month-long development will be discussed. Here's Khara's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlRU_J5qYg0 And CC2's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-PudD1UrvU I appreciate how CC2's is literally an Ultimate Ninja game.

According to MAL, it came out on the 29th, so it should already be out. You know, being an OVA and all, it doesn't air on TV.

aers posted:Umetsu's been animating since the 80s (the Zeta OP is his solo work, in fact!) and is a very talented animator but all his original stuff is pretty skeevy. He however has a ton of friends in the industry so when he makes a show there tends to be a lot of standout animation in it since he'll get his buddies to contribute for a few episodes (Wizard Barristers ep1, for example). It's funny how loving fantastic Wizard Barristers episode 1 looks because from what I heard, they pretty much ran out of money entirely by the last few episodes.
