He is cool, as is the giant kabuki man. I definitely need to re-read CP9.


I would make a thread but have no idea what a good title would be.

Here's a good title:

The Yatterman Night Thread.

You can have that for free.

we need to start righting the wrongs of the past and give proper credit to shinbo for madoka, because it's become increasingly clear that urobochi is a hack propped up by shinbo's direction.

The new episode of Yatterman is pretty cool, its a show with a lot of energy.

Also a huge homage to the opening of Patlabor 2, which is neat.

Normally when people try to imitate Oshii things it falls flat, but I liked it here. Really felt like there was a point to all of the bird imagery instead of being there just because it's a thing done in some of Oshii's stuff.

The world itself is really grey, but theres a lot of focus on what animals and plants managed to survive, little stuff like the dragonfly in the foreground as the heroes snuck away in a bush were cool shots.

THey don't have an Oshii budget but theres a lot of thought being put into the direction and animation. It's cool and feels both cartoonish and ethereal, like a dream.

I dunno if you could really give it a better name then what they went with though, since the original is just Maria the Virgin.

I wonder how people who localise do that sort of thing, like who came up with Parasyte, which is a good name.

hahaha oops

Maybe I should check out that Maria anime because I loving loved Taniguchi's work on Planetes. The Planetes manga was written by the Vinland Saga mangaka, and you can tell how much Yukimura has improved since. Meanwhile, Taniguchi added so much more to Planetes, like better characterisation, as well as some beautiful technical design.

You should watch the Maria show.

For the most part, I don't agree with that. There is indeed a shift in tone with some scenes that can be hard to watch, but I think it matches the changing circumstances that the Planetes characters are experiencing. It's not a sudden process and there is also some precedent for it earlier in the show. Besides, I don't think the finale makes them unhappy and it has some great emotional moments.

It's a show about people, but also people dealing with the consequences of technological growth, so I thought the last half dealing with the gulf between the 1st and 3rd worlds was cool, but also I thought all those characters came across as really sympathetic, so the whole situation was heartbreaking.

The bit in the epilogue with the dude and the moongirl looking back at earth but she can't see the boundaries was top feels for me.

He did a single volume story called Gigantomahkia a year or so ago set on a Dune-esque planet which was mostly cool except the couple of times the MC got pissed on by his young girl/AI companion because her wee had healing properties or something.

I thought it was cooler than berserk, and hope he does a sequel someday.

She actually seemed like kinda a cool character; did she remain an antagonist through and through? Spoiler tag that poo poo, but I curious.

She turns against the true antagonist by the end and gets a happy ending, spending her time training soldiers for the rest of her life, but that's just the manga though.

I want to say that the switcharoo joke with the International team speaking japanese better than english in Chihayafuru is the best language joke I've seen in anime.

the other characters are really cool too

kana could have easily been boring af but instead she just Really Loves traditional japanese poo poo and it's actually endearing

Kana is probably my favorite.

I'm still working through 2 but I think my favorite part about Chihayafuru is how great it is at making every character relatable and sympathetic. Even characters who you think that can't ever happen for, like Sudo.

It's way more a work of character study than a sports anime, I'd say.

Endorph posted:

the characters are really important but a lot of what makes them relatable and sympathetic is the ways in which they relate to karuta

there are a lot of things in chihayafuru that are important outside of slapping the cards, but nothing overshadows slapping the cards. likewise, karuta doesn't overshadow the characters. they work together.

she's the ace

Fair fair

The part where Arata is subbing in the team match and he puts on his glasses was really great, and sports anime as hell.
