I think Record of Lodoss War is a bit of a slog, but Slayers holds up extremely well, especially if you like that old animation style.

Slayers absolutely holds up though and if you’re in the US then all five seasons are legally available both subbed and dubbed on Funimation’s YouTube channel. Also they’re apparently going to announce something for its 30th anniversary next month so it’s possible we might be getting a new anime for that eventually as well.

Lodoss War also has some janky as hell animation that is a lot more noticeable now, I think

TheKingofSprings posted:Just to pre-empt any dogpiles this poster is clearly not defending Shield Hero and is rightfully indicting Isekai as a largely lovely genre The majority of light novels and by extension light novel adaptations come from the top ranks of Narou, which is basically japanese Fanfiction.net (or, I guess, fictionpress.com since it's mostly OC). This tells you three things: a) 90% of fanfiction being terrible in not just a western thing. b) The well of terribleness is unfathomably deep. c) Most people have poo poo taste and it's no drat surprise the trash LNs are popular. Yes, Shield Hero really is among the cream of this particular crop. This is why you don't scout writers from fanfiction sites.

So is Heavy Metal the progenitor of all the isekais we see today?

That's just because Heavy Metal was originally French and that country's national tradition of sex crimes and mandatory harassment was carried through even after the magazine became an American institution instead.

I've watched it once and I haven't felt the urge to go back and see it again after getting that out of it.Slayers deffo holds up. The first season is the roughest, with the first half being pretty awkward but from the second half onwards it's an enjoyable silly romp. There's a bunch of references that are old but the core comedy and character interactions help the series stand on it's own.

Here’s a fun thing: I teach, and one of my kids is obsessed with MHA. For a paper she’s writing she put my name as Eraser Head, and I think that’s just about the most wholesome thing ever

EponymousMrYar posted:Lodoss War doesn't, both because of it's age and it being an anime documentary (as fitting the name Lodoss for me goes way back to sci fi channels anime Saturdays. I watched the oavs and they're super old but so drat cool. I couldn't stomach the TV series though, but the oav is very worth a look.

If you can check out the blurays of Lodoss, there's a lot of cool details I never noticed before. It's still super rushed but so is the short novel it's based on. The TV series fleshes out some of the plot points but I never liked the new cast nor the decrease in animation quality since it was a TV series instead of an OAV.

It's good to see the Hello Kitty arc of MHA is finally getting the recognition it deserves.

Isn't froppy's hero name and triangle mouth already a reference to keroppi? We've come full circle. (Also All Might was obviously based on Hello Kitty to begin with but that's obvious enough that it doesn't need to be said)

On the subject of Lodoss, there's a side-scroller based on it that's about to be released on Steam which takes major visual and audio cues from Symphony of the Night.

I saw someone point out that Nomura is wearing Knuckleduster's jacket. Also, slightly unrelated, but did anyone else see the Vigilantes vol 9 cover?

Oxxidation posted:impressive how in the main comic the entire country's become one big powder keg with a hissing fuse, and somehow vigilantes is still the tenser of the two Because we are a frog in a pot that is slowly getting the temperture raised. We wont be feeling alot of tension until its boiling over because we have alot fo safety nets in the heroes we know that the Vigilantes crew doesn't have. Also it looks like 6 may have killed knuckleduster and taken his jacket as a prize. So one dead, Pop will either be dead or have her reputation ruined so she is retired and Koichi may or may not make it out of this with lasting damage that might make her retire. That would be quite a sober note to end this side manga with. You can be a hero outside the law, but you don't have any of the protections of those who operate within the law so live with the consequences of your actions.

Knuckleduster/Pop/Koichi die or come to inglorious ends (permanent injuries leading to just becoming civvies again), they've saved the country if they know it or not, but no one ever cares or remembers and it's this unknown footnote in history as the bigbads move on to the next plan.

We haven't seen his body yet. He just left his jacket behind because it was stuck. Knuckleduster is okay! He's okay!
