Boxman posted:This is the part where I'm obligated to re-up my recommendation for Redline, which is sort of like if someone did a lot of cocaine, watched Speed Racer, then decided to remake it with incredibly lush animation, an absolutely bangin' soundtrack, and somehow less of a plot or characters. The pompadour is the best character

Redline rocks, I got the bluray What’s the dub like? I only saw the sub so far

Whenever I want to recommend Redline I want to link to the first race that sets the stage for how great it is, but the only version on youtube is the dub. At first I hated it, becasue I have a visceral reaction to dubs, but I have to admit it's not terrible. Someone who hasn't seen the subbed version probably wouldn't mind it. I just... really really prefer the Japanese voices. Especially for the more comedic characters like Machine Head, those girls in the robot, the weird twins, they all work so much better in Japanese. Fuckin amazing soundtrack, the Yellowline song is just the best.

I watched Strange Magic the other night. Has anyone else seen Strange Magic? I fully recommend it, it's a truly fascinating experience

The first episode of the new Marvel What If? series didn't really do anything for me. The animation was fine, serviceable, the only part I really liked was the very first scene with a bunch of broken shards displaying alternate stories/multiverses. The writing never elevated above teen level, which is fine if that's the audience but I don't really have a reason to watch more if that's going to be it.

Kristin Chenoweth is good in it though.

I haven't seen Strange Magic, just watched a lot of reviews on it. I get why it's bad. But the idea of the villain being terrorized by a lovestruck heroine is, in itself, pretty funny. Shame about everything else.

honestly the biggest shift i can see from the trailer is that there's at least one if not several male secondary characters. that's pretty grim and dark if you ask me

It's a big derivative of Thundercats Roar and Adventure Time but my daughter's really into Centaurworld and I'm finding it pretty enjoyable.

Yeah I’m really into the visuals but the plot moves very fast so the stories aren’t that absorbing. Major major props to the animation team though. That said, since I’m an animator I follow some ppl who study facial motion and they had interesting stuff to say about how smiles are used in animation: quote:#Animation Tips 💡 Probably this only interests people whose job involves knowing the FACS system but I learned something. Oh yeah also the last Eva movie comes out on Amazon this weekend

Kristin Chenoweth is good in it though. He didn't direct it, he just wrote the story, saying he wanted to make a Star Wars for 12 year old girls. Good job George!! The characters are uniformly unappealing and charmless (the elf boy who loves the main character's sister is particularly egregious) and the story lurches from barely-distinguishable beat to beat with all the competence of a 3-year-old telling you how her day at school was

If I've seen the original series is it necessary to watch the first Rebuild? I know the second has significant deviations from the source and the third and fourth are their own things.

The first Rebuild is basically a .9:1 HD adaptation of the first six episodes, yeah, though the final battle with Ramiel (the giant diamond) is kickass compared to the original

I’d say the first one is worth it still, even if it being closer to the source makes it a bit of a retread

There are small discrepancies that make watching the films real fun if you're into theory crafting/ Easter egg hunting.

And then it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. Really, though, I loved just how metatextual the final showdown is. Especially since it ends with Gendo finally having a completely honest father-son talk with Shinji. This last film was about as good of a sendoff as this whole franchise could get.

This is a good meta capstone on the series, and I can't believe I waited 14 years of my life to see it end. I think it's a little funny that Tabris is like, welp, here we are again Shinj-- hey wait... you're not a crying self-pitying whiny mess? drat dude, nice. Yeah, you take the reins this time. and then Shinji is like "there's no possible way for any of us to be happy if we're dealing with predestined Godwars and Alien Threats so No More Eva's is the only way we get a happy ending" Kinda feel like there's a bit of commentary by Anno about that too.

I’m gonna watch the new Eva film tonight. I just watched Luca. It’s good but it hits me the same way as all new Disney and Pixar movies do. Competently made, good messages, visually impressive, but overall I’m bored and feel like I’m watching it out of obligation.

What's the general consensus on Disney's Meet the Robinsons? Because I'm watching it right now and it's just a whole lot of loving noise and lights and it's obnoxious beyond belief.

It’s one of those “under rated but still not actually good” movies, IMO (I’d throw Atlantis in this pile, too). Bowler hat guy and T. rex are great bad guys but the movie doesn’t really come together to anything more than a pile of mediocre parts with very ugly animation. It also lacks something like, say, Home on the Ranges villain number to let you give at least one part of it an unequivocal thumbs up.
