TNG tried, of course. But even then, once they got Troi out of her weird dresses, they all had normal uniforms at some point. lol
Haha, it looks like he only half remembered it was casual Friday. That or he's on his way to the transporter for an away mission to a tropical island planet or something,haha.
I forget the actresses name but there was the character Seven of Nine later and her body suit kind of like in Yamato 2199. It also seems like more and more girls in a bunch of places are wearing really tight jeans or yoga pants or really short shorts. The same goes for tops as well. Some guys like it but many seem to be asking if it's really appropriate for public. Maybe some girls will actually not mind or like wearing those kind of outfits in the future then,who knows.
As someone who hasn't seen the original Yamato or Starblazers, the style of the song itself evokes nostalgia for a simpler period of television. So yeah, I can see thinking it was made to be of the period.
I suppose it also makes sense why they got rid of it for the TV broadcast.
I haven't seen any either. Maybe not the whole show but I might watch the first episode or two just to see how it compares. That or maybe I'll just skim through the animesuki thread.
What's the TV opening like? Did someone put that on YouTube as well?
Yamato sort of sits in this weird middle ground. So the idea of being "out of range" of Earth is there, even though theoretically, even leaving Earth orbit would being to introduce lag in their communications.
But the rest of it is fairly magical. Reusing the Yamato because it's the only hull left on Earth, their version of the nuclear weapon, the actual jumps through space, telepathic aliens, and so on.
I mean, here's one issue. On the one hand, they have a year to save Earth before it dies out. But other than the dates they give us in the previews, there's no real way to see how much time has passed because they both somehow suffer some time dilation effects while also run in "real time" because they both warp and travel at high speed. You just have to turn your brain off and accept the date to be whatever the captain says it is each week. lol
The feeling of "hard" probably comes from the fact that it's still very grounded in MilSciFi... and really, the military is very easy to replicate because all you need to do is have ranks, have people call each other "sir", and have them salute once in a while and it seems authentic. And that authenticity leads you to think of it as being more "real" than it might otherwise be.
Yeah, you notice it right away even with some of the character designs like the captain or the doctor guy. They look older in design but have that newer clean kind of digital look to them. Some things could go either way as well. I think it's the fourth episode where they're on the frozen moon of Jupiter or something and when their shots hit the ground the particles they stir up freeze right away. On the one hand that seems more realistic as there are some really cold places out there but I don't know if it would freeze exactly that fast so it might be more it just looks cool. Either way, I like how the show has that kind of balance of new and retro.
Yeah, the time limit narration seems pretty arbitrary. That point is made right near the beginning so obviously as they go along in their journey they'll have less and less time. The final arc to the first part of Saint Seiya Omega did pretty much the exact same thing with people making similar comments there.
As an aside, how come there's never really any inertia shown in most Sci-Fi? It seems like all the time when a ship cuts its engines they also activate some kind of magic space brakes,haha.
I think I got used to subs only because that was the only way I could watch Chinese movies at the time. Back in the ancient times when Hong Kong was still a British protectorate, I guess movie makers were required to put English subtitles on all their movies (or maybe it was just for the benefit of whatever white dudes lived in HK? Who knows). So growing up with Stephen Chow or Chow Yun Fat or Andy Lau, it basically meant I both listened to and read all my movies. Fun times. lol
Yeah, I remember my Mom, at least used to, love the movie Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I didn't like trying to watch it as it was subs only so I still haven't really seen the movie. Now though I'd prefer watching it with subs whenever I get back to trying to watch it again.
There are some exceptions though I suppose. The Japanese Dub of MLP has
Miyuki Sexyshiro doing the voice of Twilight and Japanese isn't the native language for that show. I've watched the first few episodes of that in Japanese then, even if at least some of those first few episodes were edited.
Oh yeah Oreki know what's up
Screw it, I'm still on Team Chitanda. :3
Haha, I personally like all the characters really. Irisu just happens to be a bit more favored for me.
I was reading through some posts from last summer and came across this picture again.
