what happened in the genetics pool that dragonair goes to dragonite?

Disappointment is what happens. If Dragonite kept Dratini and Dragonair's color scheme, he'd be one of the most awesome Gen I pokemon and probably the best Dragon type.

As it is he looks kinda like a doofus.

The Puchimas OVA is out?!

YESSSSSSS MORE IM@S

There is a Puchimas OVA :O I need to find more information about this!!!

 

[cajunator]

This thread is always an interesting read.

I dunno if this was discussed already or nor, but is it just me or is the Gargantia OP song kinda...90s-ish?

the ED is much better. Plus Amy windsailing.

Slayers 11

Did they just slip in a BDSM joke? Wow that flew WAY over my head as a kid. Is the attack "Call Me Queen" from FF4TAY a reference to this, too? Oh man I forgot about the Paci-Fist Punch. And Amelia's English VA is so baaaaaaad.

Really, all the English VAs for this show are horrible, but there's some kind of magical nostalgia barrier around them that prevents me from watching it in Japanese.

Gargantia 7

So this is where the story is going? What a shame. It feels so obvious I was hoping they'd do something different. Oh well. The female characters in this show really annoy me. Don't fucking explain shit to the new guy and then get angry at him.

Spoiler

I laughed when they pointed guns at Ledo. Chamber could take them out in an instant if he wanted to.

With that dress. You know the one.

Just make the switch. If the dub isn't either good or hilariously bad, then kick it to the curb.

As long as he wasn't underwater, because then he'd be useless.

Also, is it just me or is Chamber really bad at locating their position relative to the rest of the galaxy? How much more of space do you need to see mate!

Wooooooooooooooo

Regina Selfishness 20/10
Regina cuteness when she is having fun 10/10

No she doesn't !!

This episode : 10/10

Damn if regina isn't the BEST character in a while .. She is like "joker" in smile, a delicious light outshining the other characters.
Damn impressive.

War tactics for dummies 2.0

The episode itself was fairly predictable but they did it well.
The skit at the start was nice too.

Other mentions :
-MakopI being honnest
-How to make great black tea ( or not )
-"i'll just erase the school"

So happy EVEN the writters pointed out how that scene was ridiculous.
Clearly No one , no cure so far would even attempt to do that.

Creating selfishness out of nothing is broken but that fit the character so it's fine. Can't wait to see how they will handle the rest of the events.

I kinda feel that hilariously bad is precisely how I'd describe the dub.

Gun x Sword 8

So Van's picked up another annoying kid, and his exasperated "why me?" is not without warrant. In this episode he and Ray teamed up to slay a dragon, whose pilot had been dead for a long time.

WAIT.

Is the bad guy Dr. Klaww?

OH MY GOD WENDY DOES LOOK LIKE PENNY.

OH MY GOD GUN X SWORD IS INSPECTOR GADGET.

Full Metal Panic! - 3

HAI, JAPANESE PRETTAI GURLS!

How I love my Engrish in anime. Once again, another good episode.

Whenever I see them in the robots while they're invisible, I keep thinking of how their entire cover could be blown if a bird just so happened to shit over them.

I loved the scene where she Chidori assaults them. When she walked away, I thought "oh she ain't even mad" but NOPE!

Shit looks like it's about to get real in the next episode. Seeing how the missions over for them, I wonder if Sousuke brought any equipment with him.

Yes, and that makes it both more awesome and one of the better things derived from Inspector Gadget (not that there is much competition).

Mmm... just watched the second set of YKK OVAs and I don't feel that they were as good as the first set. They managed to be less focused than the first set despite actually having a storyline to them. Maybe there was supposed to be supplementary material that I missed out on, but I don't feel as if a lot of the scenes conveyed a clear feeling like in the first set of OVAs.

Lol, I just reread this post and I sound pretty vague. I guess that's how I evaluate anime though.

 

[Hitokage]

You don't even know what hilariously bad is*. Slayers dub is just tiresome.

*Although you should! Garzey's Wing dub is a must-see.

YKK is a pretty vague series as it is. There's not really much of a storyline beyond some of the interactions of the characters and their development and there's a fair number of chapters where they're very much one-off instances.

I keep meaning to try the OVAs myself but I kinda have my own impressions of the series through the manga and something else will just overwrite them. I hear the music is quite good though.

Fitting in both suspense and hilarity. Nice.

The garbage man line during the fight scene was brilliant.

So Sousuke is going to go directly towards Chidori? I pray that his career doesn't get harmed because of that.

The music is lovely. My problem with the scenes isn't that there wasn't a storyline or that there were one-shot scenes. I just feel as if many of the scenes only served to show us what the characters are doing. That's nice for people who are fans of the manga (which is why I was wondering if I should find supplementary material), but the characters weren't particularly doing anything interesting. Even Alpha's journey doesn't feel as if she has reached any sort of revelation or development through it. That's why I enjoyed the first OVAs more. There wasn't as much of a storyline, but there was a larger sense of the characters changing.

I probably can't comment fully on this without having seen them but by and large that's a large part of what happens in the manga at least. There's numerous examples of things being introduced into the series that ultimately never get resolved or expanded on any further. Even the ending for the series is ridiculously vague and in some aspects; really unsatisfying.

That said there's a lot to like about the way it approaches some of transience of what goes on around them, kind of like the authour is saying "stuff happens, so what".

I think I'm used to things being resolved when they are introduced in fiction. I'm guess I'm not used to this type of storytelling, lol. Does the manga spend time on the things it introduces? Maybe the two OVAs tried to cover too much.

Coffin Princess Chaika Anime Planned

The September issue of Dragon Magazine, on sale July 20, will formerly announce that Scrapped Princess author Sakaki Ichirou's Hitsugime no Chaika (Coffin Princess Chaika) light novel series is set to be adapted into anime. The fantasy follows a hikikomori, who, went sent out of the house to find a job, successively meets a silver-haired girl carrying a coffin, is attacked by a unicorn and is sent to a fantasy world.

Well it's been a while since I've read it but there are things like (and this is spoiler territory so read and quote at your own risk):

Spoiler

The identity and situation of Alpha's master, the purpose behind the bizarre stone statues that are around the place, what precisely is the giant airplane type ship that is high in the atmosphere and what is its purpose, the fate of the old man as the series approaches the end and finally what happens to Alpha and her cafe in the last chapter; is she still there, has she moved on.

That's probably not half of all of the unexplained mysteries but it has been a good few years since I last read it properly.

It's a pretty unusual series overall really but I think that whole tone of never really answering the mysteries it raises works in its favour. The only thing I can think of that's slightly comparable would be Mushishi. While it's far more structured and coherent in its episodes, ultimately it never resolves anything to do with Ginko or have an overall plotline aside from Ginko going around doing things.

I would certainly recommend the manga though; I'm not sure it'll help you feel anymore satisfied but it does have some wonderfully done chapters.

Edit: I'm probably not explaining this very well am I?

Ah hey, I'm reading the manga for this. It's okay. I'll be looking forward to it, especially since Tokyo Raven's staff kinda flopped with me.

Lol, I'll consider it for later, but if I had time I'd probably watch Mushishi first. A friend of mine said it seemed like something I'd like and I'm interested in seeing this type of storytelling.
