Oh that's that one movie I saw where the protag's design reminded me of Subaru from Re:Zero, huh? I think I recall seeing KyoAni did the animation for it, right? It looked great at the time, I forget why I didn't see it in theaters... oh right it was airing around the time we got married for the first time. Damn. Is it on Crunchyroll for streaming now? Hmm


RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Monocle - Jul 28th, 2021

I know it's on Netflix both subbed and dubbed because that's how I saw it. Dunno about Crunchyroll though. I don't think so. I think it's Netflix exclusive for the west.

So, it turns out that the lead writer of Digimon Tamers is a far-right dickhead, and has co-opted the Tamers sequel they were writing to spout propoganda and insult anyone remotely left of their position. So...guess I hate Tamers, now!

What you said reminded me of this thread we have. XD
My views on Tamers itself isn't going to change because of the views of the writer that came about however long after the show ended (or even during it). I'm more disappointed that Tamers might have got a decent sequel and clearly that's not going to happen now. Sad


RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Maniakkid25 - Aug 3rd, 2021

Yeah, the problem is that people sre dickheads, and they'll take any chance to say "you are defending a thing, therefore EVERYTHING RELATED TO IT YOU MUST AGREE WITH OR ELSE YOU'RE WRONG!" So, yeah, I'm just taking the path of least resistance, because people don't understand nuance anymore on the internet. It's this same exact reason that I called Invading thr Soviet Union in my Operation Darkness rant "the largest mistake of the entire war." I didn't want to deal with jackasses coming out of the woodwork, saying I believe the myth that America won the war.


[split] Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield - Mr EliteL - Sep 11th, 2021

Who remembers the Pokémon Origins episodes? Here we go again, but this time Sword & Shield gets the treatment! Although here the story already jumps well into the game's plot with Eternatus and the set up before the Champion battle:



Really well animated just like Origins, and again if only the "proper" Pokémon show was like this, dang. Perhaps subsequent episode(s) show what happened before the events, then the League battle against Leon happens, or it just immediately goes there next?

EDIT: OK, there's a whole playlist I wasn't aware of before I randomly found this one, but seems to be not in order of games released, plus some odd 20+ minute ones. Ahhh, whatever just thought the first one I found was cool, it was recently released so perhaps some of you have already watched others in this playlist.

EDIT2: Forgot to link the playlist. XD

I'll split this out when I'm not on mobile but Evolutions is not dedicated to Sw/Sh like Twilight Wings was. Evolutions is a series of shorts that cover an event from every mainline game; this game just gets first because it's the most recent and therefore easy to use for marketing. The trailer shows the key events each of the eight episodes will cover:




RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield - ShiraNoMai - Sep 15th, 2021

I enjoy that this was a neat snapshot into the mind of Leon, the Champion with the heavy burden on his shoulder. If he couldn't defeat the ultimate legendary Eternatus, and this kid that I'm about to face could, how can I live up to my name?
Do wish they spent the time they had on the episode less focused on the uninteresting details of his memory and more about the struggles and his perspective on everything, even into the battle with Player.


RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield - Moonface - Sep 22nd, 2021

I think the episode could have told its story a lot better than it did.




RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - ShiraNoMai - Dec 20th, 2021

Bleach's final arc "The Thousand Year Blood War" finally got a PV yesterday and it's pretty damn hype!




RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Cory - Dec 20th, 2021

The only anime I ever got into was Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon, but I've never really even tried to watch other animes.

I have a Yu-Gi-Oh manga novel purchased on my iPhone, but I could never go through and read it.

My brother is 100 times more of an anime freak than I am.


RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Mr EliteL - Dec 22nd, 2021

Pokémon and Digimon were the first anime I saw if going back that far as a kid, and did take a while for me to know what anime truly was until mid-late teens.

Ooh, OK the art on that Bleach PV, if it's going to be animated like that I may be tempted to watch it.


RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Moonface - Dec 24th, 2021

The first animes I watched were Pokemon, Digimon, and Dragonball Z. I didn't know they were anime at the time I was watching them though. Tongue

@Cory: Are you a Star Wars fan? If so I'd suggest the Visions series they did if you want an easy anime to get into since they're all singular episodes and all feature different studios.

As for Bleach, the animation looks sick! I really hope they fix some of the story issues though; if not, the animation and the fights for it is really all that's going to carry this last arc because the rest of it was garbage or just unfinished.


RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Dragon Lord - Dec 24th, 2021

I saw Funimation showed their next lineup for animes and one of them is Season 2 of Princess Connect ReGrinive!. I didn't even know they had brought season 1 over, so I'm gonna have to go watch that and then Season 2. I really enjoyed what I played of the Princess Connect game, and while I dropped it due to not having the time to dedicate to it/refusal to whale on it, I did enjoy the characters. So I'm sure it's an anime series I'd love to watch.

Now that I'll have a gaming PC, and once I get a second monitor, I can definitely start getting back into watching anime while I game. Maybe catch up on some of the good series I've missed over all the years.


RE: General Anime/Manga Chat - Moonface - Dec 24th, 2021

When was the last time you watched anime @Dragon Lord? Gasp
