New series messes up the start? Goes through things too quickly like FMA Brotherhoods first arc?
it just feels a bit too lighthearted and censored in comparison
but if you're ok with that you may as well just watch the new one
The new series did a great job with the Heavens Arena arc too, some great sakuga, I'd say it's superior to the original.
I think most of the disappointment with the new series comes from the fact that they censored a few things here and there and the fear they will do the same thing with the later arcs. Since they have proved themselves with all of the arcs after the Hunter exam, I think the new show already takes the cake and provides the ultimate HxH experience, because it's biggest flaws are the few instances of censorship early on which don't really ruin the enjoyment, especially now that we've seen everything Madhouse can do.
Also, no filler in the 2011 version.
He should just watch the 2011 version since there's also the chance they'll make the Greed Island arc better and animate the Chimera Ant arc.
Thank you so much.

So they didn't really do anything to turn tv episodes into films? Yuck.

I'm listening to it for 10 minutes now, its addicting!
Forgive me if everyone knows this already, but do these two films cover the whole TV series or just up to a particular point? I thought the second film was supposed to have new bits in but is it now just the third film which has new content?
I guess since I haven't read the manga or watched the original anime apart from the first episode I won't even know what these censored scenes are, so I should just jump straight into 2011?
Wasn't really interested in checking it out when it first aired because of all the negative comments but lately the praise has been flowing in.
JoooooooooooooJo! Ep3

Look at this guy, that is a douche swag right here, even with a broken bone he doesn't give a shit.
I have a broken spear in my shoulder, your argument is invalid.
And it's only episode 3.

I would let Yuno go full yandere on me in the name of love. It would be worth it.
Yeah, I'd say just watch the 2011 version, when you catch up you can join in with the rest of us currently enjoying it.
I thought the first movie was okay but the editing for the second movie was awful. They put an inappropriate OP sequence
after Sayaka turned into a witch
after the Homura flashback
They cover the whole TV series. And yes, I thought they were going to make some changes to tease the third movie but there was almost no new content.

Sounds as bad as the Eden of the East movies.

Great movie!
The Island of Magic is even better!
I rewatched them both the other day and I forgot how trippy they were.

It took 25 years to get these movies licensed on DVD.

Hmm, that does sound exceptionally bad. How unfortunate.
I guess this means the next one has to be great, right?

God, this whole project seems like a waste of time. I wonder if the fanboys handed over their paychecks and went out to see it in force.
Oh you! So kawaii!
Speaking of Shaft, I guess... YuriSketch Bees 3
Damn Miyako is Miyawesome. Yet another fun episode.
Some cultural things I didn't know about:
I didn't know milk "cured" garlic breath.
Japanese schools are poor.
Given how stupidly hot and humid it seems to get in Japan, not having AC sounds like a such a pain!

My school was built during the height of the bubble. It has some small ceiling fans in each of the classrooms.
They aren't exactly up to the task.

GrayNatsu beach training was funny even if it was carbon copy recreation of the manga panels. End episode moment was just as hilarious

I'm sorry you don't like it. I find it really cute and fun. But seeing you suffer after my recommendations makes me feel responsible somehow.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to be the villain.
It's a responsibility we must all bear.

Wow, it neatly ties all the beginning segments of the first 3 episodes, while explaining everything and to top it off shit gets real. *applauds*

She's the ultimate yandere girl.
Honestly, you should check out the original series first for the utterly fantastic filler episodes, the effective use of scene composition and colours that help really set the mood, the great OP's and ED's and the most important of all, Hisoka's glorious original voice which is just pitch perfect. The New series is great but I honestly can't imagine starting out with anything other than the original run. It really helps that the opening few episodes were handled far better than the new one did.

Not a waste of time for the producers, who I'm sure are gleefully counting their profits as we speak.
Anyway, it should be expected that the only way Shaft can get a movie out is for them to do almost no work on it.

Mirai Nikki 26 fin
I loved it! At times I was annoyed by Yukki being a whiny lil child, but the directors seemed to be aware of that too because a lot of characters addressed his coward character.
Awesome characters, Murmur, Deus, Akisa Aru, 9th... Yuno was cool. A crazy twisted cute girl, need more of this! I would love to see a normal Yuno.
I shall give this a 7/10

Akise Aru ftw! However you give things you love only a 7?
Just watch the 2011 version if you don't have time to watch the original HxH and just want to see the anime version, that's what I do.
Its like the two FMA anime I guess.
He's not flying, I just being sarcastic with mentioning its not less silly in the manga lol. Dude floating for no reason.

I'll laugh if Shaft redraw the backgrounds again for the movies' BD releases.

I'm sorry that you didn't like it. I certainly never meant to imply that the series wasn't dialogue-heavy, so I apologize if you got that impression from me. (Although this movie is way less dialogue-heavy than the series proper.)

I usually don't give a high score for these type of shows. The shows it reminded me of, like Guilty Crown, Another were shit. Except for Eden of the East. I often give shows a score based on:
how memorable they are (I always review the score I distribute to the shows after some time, if the show is still moving me in some way, I let the score stay or upgrade, sometimes deduct)
how many anime cliches there are
the genre
character development
the execution
The best examples is Hellsing. While they're basically the same thing, the execution in Ultimate is just amazing. Thats probably because its an high production value OVA, I gave the original a 7 and Ultimate a 10.
Psycho pass ep2
Two episodes on, anything thing of any significant has yet to happen, it's all gibberish talking and no substance so far.The girl's reason for joing the judge dredd brigade is the usual anime stupid reason just a little more dumb.
Nothing really offensive it wasn't really bad it's just I could have spent that 23mins else where, if it wasn't for the nostalgic late 80s futuristic setting,nice backgrounds,magic wardrobe and the silly judge dredd like plot I would of droped it already.
Come on bring on the stupid unintentional hilarious tragic scenes your know for urobachi-wateveryournameis.
-Old dude is so dead
-ha animegaf gets to excited making such a big deal over pointless implied yuri scene.
-Op video is good, the music is so bad.
No it's lot more light hearted,some scene at the start are censored, I would say watch hxh(99) all the way end of phantom troupe arc then go watch the 2011 version(both are amazing but 99 version is better).
99 version has the dark sinister moody atmosphere going on and best incorporation of filler there is, that actually enhances the material.
I watched this a few weeks back, to busy to make a write up but I find it quite funny that we have a different opinion on it, especially on certain parts.

Why is Deus(God) from Mirai Nikki called Deus Ex Machina on sites like MAL? Deus Ex Machina is a plot device, wikipage says this: "The term deus ex machina is used to refer to a narrative ending in which an improbable event is used to resolve all problematic situations and bring the story to a (generally happy) conclusion."

It's not like Shaft is completely devoid of integrity or creativity or something. I mean, Madoka exists in the first place after all. I just wonder if someone decided they wanted to make a sequel movie and suddenly it became a damn trilogy... because that's what people do nowdays.
It wasn't the dialog, just the politics and macro-nature of the battles. Even if you take out all the boring Reinhart and... blonde guy political stuff, the battles themselves were just dry because a) everything exists on a 2d plane or ships fire from the front and b) everyone has a billion ships, so you're pretty much seeing guys playing Starcraft 2 instead of seeing people captaining their ships.
I'm sure it's fine, but I just wanted to see something that was... well, like some of the things I listed in a reply to Jex (I believe) earlier. Beggars can't be choosers when it comes to syfy, especially stuff set in space, but even so. lol
(I'm hearing the BSG version of All Along the Watchtower in my head now... I hope I'm not a secret robot!)
I'm not sure what exactly you're asking, because the character is called Deus Ex Machina. It's not something any particular site made up.
That is the complete original given name (http://www.future-diary.tv/chara/deus.html). 'Deus ex machina' (デウス・エクス・マキナ

I thought he was just called Deus, because as far as I'm aware, in the anime Ive never heard the say Deus Ex Machina.
