The making of an image visual for Nobunaga the fool.

Even if the plot ends up convoluted with all the different ideas at play, I'm still looking forward to watching Nobunaga the Fool when it airs.

So they do?

Spoiler warning and all that

I'm telling you, the two games are ultimately going to feel very different. 3D land was a "back to basics" game that was trying to find a footing between 2D and 3D Mario. This one's taking the basics from that and going absolutely crazy.

Keep in mind that Smash Bros., Fucking Donkey Kong and Mario Kart 8 come out next year as well.

People are talking about Wii U and PS4 stuff, and I'm just now getting into Fire Emblem: Awakening.

I'm fine with that though, game has me hopelessly addicted. To the point where it's significantly affecting my productivity.
 
Gundam build fighters - 05
Every episode is gundam porn BUT

This episode was lewder than usual .
Everything in this anime is perfect , the amount of original stuff, the pokes at the previous gundam show ( DAT SATTELITE CANNON ), the amount of ridiculous stuff and goddamn the animation is gorgeous ...

i had a smile this wide on my face when i saw this.

i thought that sei gunpla was kinda overpowered after ep 3 & 4, but he made it even stronger ! is the animation gonna keep up ? will everyone minds gonna keep up ? am i really excited like a 10 year old after watching this show ?

YESSSSS
Gundam%20Build%20Fighters%20-%2005_01.jpg

wait what
Gunpla is really serious business , nevermind having a gunpla arena in school , but entire dojos dedicated to gunpla ? woow the kid even try to pay in gunpla , that's crazy here.
The italian guy was almost sucessfull picking up a girl with a gunpla !! that's crazy , ..... that's awesome who the heck thought that was a great idea , i need to pat him in the back .

Ahem...

Gundam build fighter 5 was a great episode where nothing happens except the cliffanger yet it was gorgeous and it was fun as hell.
This serie is like a must see for any gundam fan.

Valvrave the Liberator - 3

Oh boy...when the word "contract" is uttered in an anime with warfare, you know shit's gonna go down. As if it hasn't gone down enough already. In the first three episodes we've got predicting the future, body-snatching, and a robot making a guy "give up his humanity." (Can't wait to see what that's all about), and now a contract.

What could possibly go wrong.

Dont be in any rush. Next gen is not worth it yet.

I went through the last 6 pages trying to find an impression of this week's Galileidonna. None were to be found. RIP Umetsu. Looks like everyone has made the right choice. Lol.

I actually considered watching that show. Then all the impressions of multiple episodes came in. How good it feels to be saved. :)

Cyber City Oedo 808 2

You're kidding me. You have GOT to be kidding me. It's an anime about loose cannon cops who are above the law. 20 minutes into the future. With psychics. And cyborgs.

This is the exact fucking plot of Angel Cop minus Jews.

I can't. I mean I'm going to anyway, but seriously. How are three shows on The List almost identical in this regard? AD Police barely escapes for not having psychics, but when you factor in that all of these must have come out within three years of one another you're left to conclude that this was a thing. Like people were into these OVAs at one point in time.

Somebody out there unironically watched this shit and made it so popular that various similar anime were made around the same time.

Nothing in this show merits its being in The List, but its existence perhaps suggests that the events that transpired at that time certainly did.

Out of curiosity, how many more entries in The List are "gritty futuristic mid-to-late 80s police OVAs"?

Thursday is like the best day of the week right now.

KILL la KILL 7

Pretty predictable episode. Definitely played it safe and by the numbers. Boo.
Mako also (temporarily) gets a Goku uniform. Pretty wacky a random design for a random and wacky person.

CorvoSol: I think at this point it's safe to conclude you are not a fan of campy dubs for old campy action anime. Some are, though, and that's why the titles you said didn't belong on the list are on the list.

That said, some haven't been as thoroughly vetted, but Black Lion and Baoh most certainly have.

Don't worry he'll definitely redeem himself with Wizard Barristers

I might watch an episode to see some titties flop around or if the action is unbelievable but I'll almost certainly hate myself for doing so :(

Baoh was crazy and I see why it fits. Heck, I'll even give Black Lion since aliens and feudal Japan. But AD Police, Angel Cop and Cyber City Oedo 808 are all really similar and not in a good way. It is possible I'm not a fan of this genre, I guess, but I dunno, mostly these just seem sucky and boring, and their bad English dubs are not on the level of Garzey's Wing or even really near. A part of it could also be watching them all so near to one another, but I dunno. Mostly those three shows just suck really bad.

What should I expect from Dark Cat?

A dub doesn't have to be Garzey's level to be worthwhile. A ton of lines in Baoh are funny and Black Lion is full of silly stuff that brings a laugh, like, "You got 'im! ShishimaRUUUUUUUUUUU!"

HAHAHAHAHA get fucked Haruto. God, I don't know if its these subs or what, but some of these lines must've come from Wisconsin because they're cheesy as fuck. "I did it out of idealism!" he said, in maximum overdrama.

Oh, and L-elf, what a fucking boss. WHAT A BOSS.

The only character I enjoyed in Black Lion for his dub voice was main dude's assistant who died during that attack on the unkillable samurai guy.

That said, Oedo has a bunch of REALLY fake accents going on, which I guess you could say were amusing.

No love for "He's a mu-monster!" "THE NINJA KILLER GINNAI IS IM-MOR-TULLLLL!"

or

"What's wrong with you? Effeminate man crying of the death of a woman." "SHUT UP YOU BITCH YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!"

...and not even the bait line?

Corvo: You gotta understand that the campy dub is the key factor for these titles, not the story or the concept. Black Lion subbed is rather boring, actually, because everything is played too straight to be amusing. The dub is what brings out the fun in the show.

Anyway, here's a bit of Dark Cat so you can try before watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wR91v-97HM
