Hey all you did was pay $100. I paid $2000, imagine how I feel knowing I have to rebuy the BDs so it matches my LWA1 BD.

Don't worry I'm sure it'll look good next to that Kaneko drawing you also overpaid for!

 

[Narag]

Where does this scam rank on a scale of 1-Inafune?

 

[Russ T]

Damn I still haven't received my LWA2 kickstarter rewards and now you're just making me feel sad. ):

 

[Jarmel]

Don't worry I'm sure it'll look good next to that Kaneko drawing you also overpaid for!

Yea turns out I didn't really overpay for that. I've seen KLK stuff go for insane prices at convention auctions. There are some really rich fans in the West.

Funnily enough, the LWA stuff goes for much lower.

 

[wonzo]

1 point below inafune as it actually came out

Anime fans only want to pay for sleazy fanservice driven low quality content. SHOCKING!

 

[wonzo]

anime fans are beneath even unironic reality tv watchers imo

Fuck this shit.

I still didn't get my basic bluray yet. Why must you do this to me Trigger?

Hey, I'm sure Mighty Number 9 is gonna come out, and be a game you could play if you wanted to.

Don't know why y'all so mad, plane ticket to japan and go home for getting that limted bundle will go over 3k anyway.. silly people.

Studio Trigger saved nothing, y'all.



Sword Art Online II 24 END

Mother's Rosario arc was pretty alright for the most part. I wish they showed more Sinon interaction though. The very end though, hmm... I don't know what to say.

Akame ga Kill 05

Sheele is cool, I guess. This Seryu is a weirdo.



GATE 08

ARE YOU O-BAKA SAN?!

Rory Mcilroy is quickly stealing the show. She's already cool dropping dudes in one quick swing. Now she's just flat out dropping bombs on people like that chairwoman looking to grandstand on Itami and Co.

What? Itami has an ex-wife? I don't think I've heard of an MC with that circumstance before. This is a different situation surrounding him, that's for sure.

 

[javac]

I'm fine with this existing, but the very next week? They handled the KS poorly. Sent out randomly, audio commentary silently axed without a mention, missing the art-book which is meh anyways. From what I've heard, the film is awesome and I'm glad that it became a reality, but at the very least I was hoping that they'd match the packaging for the first LWA BD. The end product is fine in any case, but this is way too soon. I felt that the KS was rushed at the end, thus the amaray but the fact that this is out next week proves otherwise. Maybe it was a logistics thing, this is limited after all. In any case exclusive or otherwise I'll probably get my hands on this...one way or another.

Just back the kick starters I back. I think I'm like 12/12 in successful backings!

Mega-twerp is a scam. It's 100% fraud.

I think I've backed like, maybe 4 kickstarters. All anime.

 

[Risette]

all kickstarters are scams

probably has a higher bitrate than the one ks backers got too

wasn't this the case with the BDs for the first one too? western release is like half the bitrate

 

[Line_HTX]

Oh right, on a Namco stream during one of the TGS days it was dedicated to Asterisk. Something about how the light novel, the game that'll be released at the end of January, and the upcoming anime this Autumn season will all be connected with each other in a meaningful way instead of the anime being a separate medium that is adapted from a source like a light novel.

 

[jbug617]

Always wonder why Namco makes all the anime games.

 

[Line_HTX]

Namco is im@s. Namco is SAO Lost Song.

Actually, I don't know why. I thought that it was always their thing, whether it be DBZ Xenoverse or other franchises.

was going to say something until I remembered you had no part in firehawkstarter.

 

[javac]

Such a little thing but the Limited Edition KS should have at least came with a slipcover or something to differentiate the packaging, or a reversible cover at least. Oh well, I already own the 1st LWA on BD and outside of that the difference isn't too crazy.

Young Black Jack 01

The rippling abs of Black Jack cannot, shall not be contained

OP - Laughably bad.
ED - Neat in concept, but with no substance.

Young Black Jack is the story of the famous patchwork surgeon who is like Frankenstein's Monster if Frankenstein's Monster was super hot and super bishie and cant keep his shirt on in his med school days.

A decent first episode. This is my first Black Jack anything, and I must say I expected some intricate detail during the surgery and maybe some medical horror but that's probably Franken Fran misleading my expectations. I'm not sure if the show will stay interesting if they are going to be be not showing the actual surgery during the surgeries, but let's see if the show can have a hook in another area.

There were at least two scenes in that preview where he is also not wearing a shirt.

 

[Crocodile]

The worst part of a new season is trying to figure out when everything airs. I hope I don't end up watching 5 shows in one day like Friday last season.

Sunday looks like "that day" this season

Oh it's getting a loooot more than that.

They get all that for like almost $70? Jeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz

This is a shitty attitude to take. If everybody thought this way, too many amazing projects would just never happen. Pledge smartly and do your research but even if you get burned once in a while, the world is still a better place due to Kickstarter/Indiegogo

 

[Shard]

That is from the legacy of Bandai.

 

[Line_HTX]

May I ask why?

 

[nintendoman58]

To everyone watching Young Black Jack, if you're not familiar with Black Jack, I recommend watching the first episode of the 2004 TV series (or at least the first few minutes of the first episode) to get some general background on him.

I don't know about the Young Black Jack manga this is based on, but the original BJ comic had a lot of detail (if sometimes cartoony) during the operating scenes. I was kind of disappointed by how obviously they were evading showing that. I don't really have high expectations for this series, but Black Jack's superhero antics mixed with morality plays are usually pretty entertaining, so if you dig it, consider checking out the original comic or Dezaki's OAVs.

I think they could have done a few pretty minor things to negate any ill feelings without compromising their ability to sell the product in Japan. No one expected to get LWA1 as a reward, so that part doesn't matter. Having a good artbook and a unique slipcase for the LE would have been fine. Also, they probably should not have promised an audio commentary if they had no plans to record one.

In the end it was all about expectations and I think they failed on that with regards to the rewards. They created expectations which they didn't meet. The short itself is great, so the Kickstarter itself wasn't a waste, but outcome of the extra rewards is definitely somewhat disappointing.

I don't want extreme levels of gore but it's very obvious they are taking every measure to not show much. The most in the first episode was a vein being put into a vat of water and some blood leaking out of it.

Maybe they didn't want to show too much blood because it was a child and censorship for that is pretty strict.
