The fact that Bandai is dead make me worry about those Blu-Rays. Someone, anyone, needs to get rights to those in the US. It's one of the few shows that I love the dub too much to give it up.
Have you two not been watching the show so far? It's about the most insufferable thing around. Isn't going out with the biggest, stupidest bang possible the only "good" outcome?

They're both "deconstructions" (lol 7th).
Swapping Yaoi for Yuri?
This made me laugh out loud.

dark take on an otherwise happy and colourful theme != deconstruction
Stop it! We know all the arguments. This thread is now about BONES complete failure to be awesome at anything anymore.
I have. I've been saying this was series was going to retcon and absolutely destroy the series ever since episode 12 or something. Everything after that one episode it was bullshit after another. I"m just reexpressing my.... lol.
Blast of Tempest has been surprisingly good, given the source material quality it seems to work with. Also, they have Watanabe working on something for them, and that is inherently awesome.
Pretty sure duckroll would say that Skullman and Blasty says otherwise.

Well, yeah, but I've been telling you guys this since like 2006. It's not fun anymore.
Excellent!
oh god you say this and now i'm tempted to check it back again
its more of a mutation
Oh man, that's actually almost true.
Skull Man was five years ago!

Yeah, that's the big theme running throughout Bebop. Characters are haunted by their past. The main characters, but also many of the one shot characters, too. It also ties in with the world in general. The world of Cowboy Bebop is old and decaying, and obsessed with the past and the way things used to be. It's a lonely place to live in.

I was just thinking, is anyone else surprised that they haven't done a complete HD restore of Eva for Blu-Ray yet? Given the popularity of the films, it seems like leaving money on the table. Maybe when 4.0 comes out. If they could do a restore as nice as the Yu Yu Hakusho one, that show could look pretty great.

They haven't had the time to work on one. Anno and co have been making Rebuild since, what, 2005? Plus GAINAX is hardly a studio that comes up with multiple releases every year, so I imagine they are not that big on personnel to begin with.

Isnt that kind of what the expectation is, since well the tv show is oop and no one can license it. So I guess we can only assume that is a plan that may be in the works?
An HD restore wouldn't be tough to outsource, but I imagine Anno would probably want complete control and oversight of any such project. If that's the case, glad they're waiting. I'd love to see one, but only if done right.

Gonna start Skull Man tomorrow. Don't let me down, GAF.
Just finished the first 2 episodes of Eva. Holy crap, I forgot a ton of stuff. Simple things, like I never remember seeing SELEE as a council of real people. I just remember the faceless black monoliths. Also, the scene with Eva-01 without its head armor. Totally forgot that as well.
First 2 episodes of this show are great. What a good start.

Character development for Azuma was great and Hibito continues stealing all of Mutta's spotlight. A good showing all things considered but, again, I hope the show focuses back on Mutta's path to achieving his dreams soon since that's the real meat and potatoes of this show for me. Hibito's made it already so naturally a lot of the impact feels lessened.
Also, Nanba dad is awesome.

Think about it bros. Remember in OVA1 when Ao

Smile BabyCures
So yeah, that happened. I'm glad they took the time to animate new transform sequences though.
Also, this is the first time they've acknowledged that only girls should watch this show right? Maybe that's DJmizuhara in the back. lol
Yurirella
Strangely enough, because Heartcatch was all flower based and Suite was all music based, I thought Smile would be all about fairy tales... so this is what I expected the show to be like. But I think I'm okay with the show not really having a theme. Just doing random episodes every week works because it lets them change it up all the time.
I also do appreciate that they're all meta, even if it makes absolutely no sense in universe. This sequence got a laugh out of me anyway. lol
Looks like they're back to normal next week though.
Seriously, Gundam SEED is an exercise in slap-teasing. All I want is to see someone get slapped, and the arguments FREQUENTLY arrive at the moment when a slap is the most appropriate response, BUT NO ONE DOES IT.
Frankly, the whole show feels physically isolated. Aside from Mu and Flay, everybody seems afraid of physical contact. Except Lacus, who is too pure and innocent to understand what physical contact means.
Otherwise I am fully prepared to say that Kira and Lacus aren't actually characters from Gundam, but are in fact migrants from a Disney movie. Seriously, give Kira a duet with Lacus and the whole show literally becomes the Disney version of Gundam.

There better be a damn good explanation for how in the space of one day Kira is transferred from a deserted pacific island TO LACUS' SPACE GARDEN.

I love this show. Just so you know, this show is female approved. Have a lady over, and woo her with this tale of complex romanticism and indecision. She'll appreciate how the show is narrated from the woman's point of view, and she'll enjoy hearing her mull over her internal thought process, revisiting several decisions that she had already worked out before. She think the rooster is so cute, and most of all, she'll be impressed by your endurance as you watch the show quietly with her without ever criticizing the stubbornness of the MC.
Ladies vs Butlers 1
Okay do not watch this with any females in the room.

I always thought that the closing lines in each episode did a really good job of summing up the themes in a poignant way. Especially the final episode:

No problem with the ep as an adaptation, but it kind of lacked impact in some important areas. Also, Cassim's voice is weird as hell for his character.

I was prepared for this episode to be complete trash:
But it was so weird and, for the lack of a better word, Shaft-y that I think the director also knew that the material was shit too so he/they just went with it.
Since it's all visual gags, I won't post any, but I will say that this was the one that I laughed at: http://i.imgur.com/se20Wl.jpg
Really, it was like this was a missing episode of Natsu no Arashi or something. Or maybe early HidaSketch. lol
Also, some post-credits meta humour for shiggles: http://i.imgur.com/zeyqul.jpg
Finally, this is going to bug me so I thought I'd ask - what is Sorata's ringtone during this sequence?

HidaSketch x Honeycomb 6
The first part was pretty much the usual antics but the second half was not only the saddest part in the series since the cat episode, but also one of the most visually striking. It'll be a shame when SHAFT manages to fuck it up with the home release somehow.

Another way to put it is that Shaft has done everything. lol

Man, fuck this show. I mean, the episode was good, but... ;_; I hope you're right Musubi!

Gundam SEED Episode 32
Yeah, no, I'm not buying that.
And DAMN THIS SHOW AND IT'S NOT SLAPPING ANYBODY. Flay deserved it this time, Sai! C'MON AND LET LOOSE.

Oh I, a blind priest on an island in the pacific found your body, Kira, but nobody contacted me when ORB was searching the area for you, and I couldn't have been reached anyway because in the space of a day I made the trip from my so remote island that ORB forces didn't even think to stop there to talk to me, to the PLANTs in one day. Even with the excuse that he was already making that trip to see Seagel Clyne, it makes no sense that he would take Kira, an Earth Forces soldier, and deliver him to Seagel's daughter, and not the appropriate authorities. But I guess magical seeds are the answer, so whatever.

How can anybody find fanservice like this alluring when the art is awful? It's like thinking boob emoticons are sexy.
