Look at all that junk in the trunk.

At least NISHISHSIHSISHSIHI is running hers off.

Did Shoko's grave get paintballed or something? BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT.

Fafner 08:

Spoiler

Master Chiefs, little shapeshifting naked boys, lots of stupid teenagers looking to prove themselves!

What does it all mean?!?

Fafner 09:

Koyo's parents shouldn't have

Spoiler

been banished from the island, they should have been THROWN IN THE OCEAN.

Fafner 10:

Comedy, angst, dinner with the Toumis,

Spoiler

surprise crystalization and SUDDEN BETRAYAL.

The show isn't even building up to plot twists now, it's just throwing them out there at random.

Also, Kazuki gives the worst excuse for

Spoiler

gouging out someone's eye

EVER.

 

[duckroll]

Keiko Nobumoto returning to writing anime would truly equal anime being saved

I'm pretty sure she's out of the industry. Probably raising kids these days.

 

[cajunator]

Watanabe and Kanno is a decent team, but I am not convinced yet.

 

[Steroyd]

What the fuck?

There were very few anime I was able to consistantly watch from beginnning to end on TV back in the 90's, infact I'd say the only anime I watched back in the 90's from beginning to end was DBZ.

Which turns out to be a blessing in disguise, when I discover how many shows were hacked to death when travelling overseas.

Much like Sailormoon and One Piece, it's a show that I've always had on my "come back to" list, Cardcaptors, Tenchi Muyo are other examples.

Watanabe and Kanno is a decent team, but I am not convinced yet.

Not enough pink catgirls with dishplate eyes in the promo?

Lol, of all the shows to finally show discernment with.

 

[trejo]

Lol, of all the shows to finally show discernment with.

The characters look way too normally proportioned to be truly moe.

 

[Dynedom]

Holy fuck haha. Totally had a nostalgia trip by looking up shit about Ninja Robots. Old 80s anime that was dubbed and shown on Cartoon Network here in Dubai.

DAT DUBBED OP

I might just watch this show and write episode impressions for lulz. I watched this show as a kid but never sequentially so I had no idea what the hell was going on. Even back then though, the show seemed bad.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Watanabe and Kanno is a decent team, but I am not convinced yet.

okay now i get it

you are Dark Monocle. The anti-monocle.

 

[wonzo]

Recorder and Randsell 4

Ugh, the joke wasn't funny the first time, let alone twice. Clearly a step down from Morita-san.

Rihoko

I shed some manly tears

holy shit this better mean what i think it means

Watanabe and Kanno is a decent team, but I am not convinced yet.

what the hell man

 

[Jex]

Noitamina is BACK. You can't kill it off!

Anime lives, Madhouse dies, the cycle continues.

Mappa is the new Madhouse.

Guys, I think we just found what macodin's been up to since his ban.

Now that's dedication.

 

[firehawk12]

Until proven otherwise, I'm going to assume that Apollon is the Japanese version of Treme.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Recorder and Ransell 04: I'm all for this type of animated 4-koma thing, but you can't honestly expect to keep this show up by reusing the same jokes.

 

[Noirulus]

YOKO FUCKING KANNO AND WATANABE OMFG

 

[cajunator]

Not enough pink catgirls with dishplate eyes in the promo?

Never enough.
I cant see the promo either.

 

[Dynedom]

But Kanno is a thief and Watanabe released the shame show twice!

Spoiler

Of course I'll watch it!

 

[iavi]

Now that's dedication.

I wonder if he tries to engage in conversation with it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Is it plagiarism if you steal from yourself?

I hear this time to time over the years, is there any truth to it?

Oh here we go.

Depends. Are you a schizo?

Oh here we go.

I only speak the

I hear this time to time over the years, is there any truth to it?

Haha, well. There is truth to it but it doesn't take away from the fact that she's an incredible composer. Anyway, I think there's even a thread on GAF about this. For the record, she's one of my favorite composers.

 

[cajunator]

There is, but every artist steals shit. Well every good artist.

 

[Jex]

Clearly we need youtube videos of this.

 

[duckroll]

No, no you got it wrong. It's "good artists borrow, great artists steal."

 

[Jex]

We've had a whole thread about it!

Holy shit, I just saw the youtube video of the kanno plagiarism thing.

Cyber bird sounds almost exactly the same. I still love her music, but my day has been ruined..

I didnt like Samurai champloo that much, or the Cowboy Bebop movie.
I did like the music in both quite a lot.
This has nothing to do with hnnng factor or anything.
Shinichiro Watanabe directing just doesnt mean a lot to me.

He also directed the TV series which, from the way you phrased your comment, may be something you have not seen.

Alternatively, it might be the only thing he's directed which you like, which is why you haven't mentioned it.

 

[Crash Station]

Watanabe means nothing to me, especially when it's an adaptation of a boring looking Josei manga. Don't know why people are expecting Cowboy Bebop or Samurai Champloo.
