Anime/Manga - Discuss Japanese cartoons and comics here; NO CULTURE WAR DOOMPOSTING!

I ain't here for specific anime, I'm just here to drop the coolest fucking clothing commercial ever animated.

Major show ED energy and yet it was just for fashion in 1988, goddamn we need this kind of energy back now.

Is there a specific watch order for Patlabor? Or do you just watch it on release order?

The series is split into 2 timelines (OVA 1 + Movies) and (TV + OVA 2 + EZY).

Release order is (OVA 1 > Movie 1 > TV > OVA 2 > Movie 2 > Movie 3 > Upcoming EZY movies)

Even though they aren’t officially connected, it’s still better to watch it in release order as one of the plot points of movie 2 is about the team getting back together, and I don’t think it’ll hit as hard if you’ve just seen the first OVA and Movie 1. (And also the TV series is way better than the first OVA imo)

Amazon's dub for the new Fist of the North Star is as terrible as you'd expect it to be.

Okay, excellent joke but now show me please the real dub.

Kill higashi villagers. Behead higashi villager. Roundhouse kick a higashi villager into the concrete. Slam dunk a higashi baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy higashi villagers.

The songs sound like they are openings from 00s anime like Eureka Seven or FMA 2003.

I started reading one final fantasy manga that kinda adapts one of the first game mainly because it was done by Yuu Kinutani, who I am a fan of his work. And holy shit the art is so different from his later style but still very cool in a 80s way. Kinda feels like it is done by shirow masamune



And everything is so detailed holy shit, the scenarios and background are so fucking good and the chocobos looks like dinosaurs that are gigantic.



And the character designs is also pretty fucking cool. Even for someone who never played FF.



There are two more volumes to go, but I already loved the first volume.

I hope I don’t sound like a faggot asking this but I’ve put off a lot of anime that I know have really disappointing endings, like Wonder Egg Priority, and have just avoided them but I really do want to get into it. Should I just watch or not waste the time?

 

[Red Dragon]

Should I just watch or not waste the time?

I guess it depends. I still like MHA even after the bumps during the journey, and the ending is not exactly terrible - even if it's far from great. But I'll never touch Call of the Night because, apparently, the journey itself is not worth it for such a lame ending.

With new and ongoing shows this is more tricky, sometimes you just have to gamble.

An ad for subtitled releases of GunBuster and Dangaioh from U.S. Renditions, significant because these were the first subtitled direct-to-home video releases for the American anime market. U.S. Renditions was a branch of Books Nippan, the U.S. branch of Nippon Shuppan Hanbai

 

[Wilson The Ball]

Recently splurged and got a lot of Ancient Magus Bride stuff. Blu-rays for the anime, supplement books, and the last volume of Wizard's Blue. Haven't gotten my hands on the Jack Flash spin-off yet but I gotta read the Light Novels where they appear first

 

[PS1gamenwatch]

What a schedule looked like in a Philippine network in 1999, anime shows both boys amd girls

Also it is the birthday of the voice of Nabiki of Ranma

Aren't some of the OVA 2/"New File" episodes set in-between episodes of the TV series? It gets confusing because the second OVA series episodes were originally bonus episodes from the individual Patlabor TV series Laserdiscs which I believe were 3+1 episode discs.

OVA 2 just takes place after the TV Series and finishes the arc that was still ongoing.

Too many people have go from OVA 1 to 2 and then have no idea what’s happening lol

 

[The Lаughing Man]

In the latest episode of Liar Game, we got a newhalf. What did the author mean by this?

Thanks for the recommendations fren, I’ve already downloaded em both so I’ll start with Hataraku Saibou after work today. I’ll post my thoughts & impressions here after I’m done watching. Thanks again!

I went and read those MAL descriptions you mentioned and you’re right about Haibara’s being the funniest: “Watch as Haibara takes a second shot at his teenage years!” How about no lmao
