The animation was about as state of the art as you can get. The movie was entirely digitally composited. In 1995.Ghost in the Shell
Decided against making a LTTP thread, because if I screw this up somehow, at least I'll only look like an ass to anime-GAF and not GAF as a whole. Plus, I'm still too timid to make my own threads.
I tried watching the original Japanese dub for this, but it became too hard to follow. The subs seemed to move faster than most subs I remember, and it was just constant transitioning from reading to watching. So I changed to English dub to follow it better. Maybe I'll watch the original dub at some point in the future.
Three major things stick out to me:
1. The animation. I think that the look of this movie has held up pretty damn well considering the time it was made. I really like the character designs in particular, and the animation was pretty smooth, yet you could tell this wasn't state-of-the-art (couldn't find a better way to put this; there probably is one). Which is fine with me. Though I would be very interested in a blu-ray version, as long as it's not 2.0, which is apparently trash.
Dexter - Season 1
Should I be hating on the asshole cop who's suspicious of him?
Season 1! From 2006!Nice Dexter spoilers there Sloth, might want to cover those.
Didn't know it was originally based of a novel, but makes sense now that I think about it.Now that's a show that's better than its source material. If only all anime could be.
The appeal of GuP is that is more a classic sport anime than a military otaku show like Strike Witches for example with all the fanservice. And GuP is of course well made, a big and adorable cast, many lovely 2d animations, CG stuff is well-done, Soundtrack and good pacing.
Dekuzuta - Season 1
Some people like 4 legs, others 4 ears. WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE!Wishy washy configuration that pleases nobody! Either go animal ears or don't.
Didn't mean to call you out, but I still treat spoilers as spoilers.Season 1! From 2006!
Oh, fine.
Didn't know it was originally based of a novel, but makes sense now that I think about it.The Ice Truck killer did do things (like leaving the barbie doll pieces, smiley face in the blood, etc.) that were very reminiscent of crime novel bad guys. Guess now I know why!
Why do you hate the German language?
I have shamed my ancestors.Fixed that for you. Learn2weeaboo.
No, actually you're right. It's pretty shitty for someone to come into the anime thread and then find spoilers about a show they'd normally never have to worry about finding in here. My bad.Didn't mean to call you out, but I still treat spoilers as spoilers.
Anyone else do that or am I a grumpy old man today?
I think that's part of it too. Although I guess I have less a problem with the German stuff in Strike Witches (mostly because I was too busy noticing the lack of pants).I can understand that if they're dressing up like actual people even if only in jest. I just assumed it was a co-opting of the aesthetic people took issue with.
I don't really get much out of dudebro war games nowadays for what that's worth. And most of them are so safe that it's usually Americans vs Russians or something equally generic as to not offend anyone.Do you have this same issue with games where you can play as the Axis/Commies/terrorists/etc?
Sure, but then there's just the idea of a mangaka or whomever being obsessed with German tanks.But that's just one side character.
Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie
A truly great movie, fantastically directed and visually exciting. It has tons of that 80's cheesy atmosphere but you can't help but marvel at the finesse with which it was all executed.
Every few minutes I would think to myself how I should tale a screencap of a scene and post it on GAF but in the end I decided it's best not to start doing it or I would lose a lot of time trying to pick out my favorites (and I think most of you guys already saw this). Dezaki reaffirmed himself as one of my favorite directors in anime, great stuff.
Only screen you need.
Oh wow. I'm not sure which scenario I prefer. Although,If I remember right, he doesn't kill his bro in the book. He frees his sister and indulges a little real life family time and kills LaGuerta. She dies at any rate even if I can't remember the exact details!
Appropriate place for this?
Sell me on an anime, preferably something on Netflix. Have the itch to check something out that's new to me.
Oh wow. I'm not sure which scenario I prefer. Although,It's sort of shitty in that he breaks the Code of Harry in the novel's version. Then again, it would have been interesting to see he how he would deal with the aftermath of killing LaGuerta and letting his brother live. Plus I wouldn't mind seeing LaGuerta kick the bucket.
Thanks for that interesting piece of trivia. Like an alternate reality version of what happens!

It's not a good show, though. You'd be far better off watching something like TTGL, which I know is on netflix. Sadly, I'm really not too sure what else is on netflix, I generally just stick to CR and occasionally Hulu.

I just got done watching Baccano! and it's some pretty quality stuff. Great soundtrack with fun characters and an interesting story. And it's set in 1930's New York (mostly) which is a nice change of pace from the usual fantasy or sci-fi setting.Appropriate place for this?

That right? It's always a strange feeling when an adaption ends up being better than the source material.It just gets weirder as the books go along. Not going to bring that stuff as I haven't watched past season one and don't want to inadvertantly spoil anything.
He's the only reason to watch it really.Well, for the first two seasons anyway ;_;
You're right. It is an awesome show.
One Outs 1-5
Man, Toua is the textbook definition of "The gambling man." It's strange that he also looks exactly like Hiruma from Eyeshield 21, another character who loved to play with the slights of probability. So far, I'm liking it enough*.
*Part of my wishes it was more Shounen though.
Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of you being wrong. Ga-Rei Zero is legitimately good.You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to mislead people into watching a bad show.![]()

Anyhow, this is what a bad guy looks like, apparently:
Ixion Saga DT 05
So did they do it?
I think it's worth pointing out that One Outs has the same director as Kaiji.
And the same guy handled series composition.
They also share a scriptwriter.
And Toua is voiced by Kaiji...
Looks like a character from one of the Avatar shows.[Magi] - 5

Not to be contrarian, but English is a West Germanic language (along with German).It's not American enough.

I wish they'd do another season. The stuff right after where the original show ends is pretty good. Or at least, I personally think it is.Actually, looking at ANN the two shares share about ten members of staff.

Oh my god, my power is back! Time to catch up on a week's worth of anime!
Generators are not something you typically need to have in the NYC metro area.welcome back!
You guys dont have generators though?
Generators are worth their weight in gold.
Didnt it say he still kept his dt or something , so I guess not. Though how did he end up with his shirt off, closest canon yaoi this season,.
Generators are not something you typically need to have in the NYC metro area.
As the weather starts changing though, that's something might change. Certainly, there will be a lot more folks with generators in Staten Island the next time a big storm comes rolling through. The issue then will be whether those folks know the Do's and Dont's of operating a generator.

I'm surprised I've never seen Wiseblade post a gif of this movie's Luffy Punch.
