More Dog Days? Baaaaaaaaaarf.

I didn't know

was in that show.

 

[Branduil]

More importantly, how many casually racist stereotypes are in Parasyte?

 

[Enron]

More Dog Days? Baaaaaaaaaarf.

Not in here, Mister! This is a Mercedes!

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

Squeeeeeeeeeee
Who is that?

Queen of Mysterious Joker airing next season.

More Parasyte cast revealed:

Kimishima Kana: Sawashiro Miyuki

*adds to list*

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Ah fuck, just realized Parasyte is going to be censored as fuck. Can't image them showing something as gory as this on tv.

Gonna be black screens everywhere

Since it's airing on NTV, it may not be as censored as if it was airing on, say, Tokyo MX.

Why did they give the main character glasses? Weird addition.

Just read the first chapter of the manga and I think he looks better with glasses. Makes him look nerdier and more of a physical weakling.

 

[Droplet]

Check the BD version since it's the Director's Cut version

You know I never understood how they didn't seem to have time to include the actual ending in the show, but they apparently were able to spend half an episode entirely on Hajime praise while advancing nothing in the plot.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Why did they give the main character glasses? Weird addition.

As a man who wears glasses, we need more characters who wear glasses and aren't the sexy cocky smart guy. Log Horizon already helps, so many glasses yo. I feel the love.

Guy from KnK almost ruined glasses for me, I was considering contacts after that.

THIS SOUNDS AMAZING

You have to remember that it's anime, and it seems like an anime original with not much hype behind it (correct me if wrong). It'll probably have a crazy first couple of episodes then completely jump the shark.

 

[Gazoinks]

More importantly, how many casually racist stereotypes are in Parasyte?

Well it's pretty offensive towards us invasive alien parasites.

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

He wouldn't be out of place.

 

[Branduil]

Well it's pretty offensive towards us invasive alien parasites.

Get a job you bums.

 

[Mature]

That's pretty odd considering how much fewer in number we are. Duckroll with that 1K pledge.

Even with fewer number active participants, perhaps just being NeoGAF gets links out to a lot of eyes anyway? That or AnimeGAF are the 1% of anime fans.

 

[astrogamer]

Locodol 7
Everybody watching TV, Uogoroku kun getting popularity and another teamate acquired. The fruits of Yukari and Nanyako's work are finally showing.

 

[Jarmel]

Get a job you bums.

They took our jobs!

We need to start a movement to get these aliens out of our country.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

12 Years a Body Snatcher.

They took our jobs!

The pile?

 

[Gazoinks]

Get a job you bums.

Look, I'll have you know that entering people's ears and turning them into cannibalistic hellbeasts is part of my culture and I'll thank you not to demean it like that. Why should I have to get one of your so-called "jobs" when tradition dictates I eat your brain and turn you into a flesh-puppet? That's oppression! I won't let you suppress my cultural identity like that!

 

[Crash Station]

Since you've read the manga. Is Parasyte a lot more gory than Terra Formars or is it about the same.

I would say in most situations they're about the same, but there are a few scenes that push Parasyte above Terra Formars on the gore scale IMO, the image I linked being one of them.

I'm more likely to forgive the censorship in Terra Formars seeing as the main draw for me is the battle choreography and characters just being badasses.

Since it's airing on NTV, it may not be as censored as if it was airing on, say, Tokyo MX.

You're right, but even then I'm skeptical on how much they can get away with. Does NTV air stuff with entrails and whatnot strewn all about?

Just read the first chapter of the manga and I think he looks better with glasses. Makes him look nerdier and more of a physical weakling.

I agree, he does look better. Just thought it was an odd change.

 

[Enron]

so much disgusting twintailism in here. I'm phoning Eric Holder.

 

[jbug617]

I can't believe the girls are okay with this.

 

[Blusby]

This is horrifying, look at that one homeboy in the pink/white baseball cap brazenly trying to get a few pantsu shots in.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I can't believe the girls are okay with this.

Looks like it's just a less subtle version of Comic-con.

 

[phoenix296]

That's disgusting.

 

[Femmeworth]

Mizushima is doing a series about anime production?! Nanase Ohkawa better be writing it.

Original Character design will be done by Ponkan8 with Animation Character Design assigned to Kanami Sekiguchi, Sekiguchi has worked on various projects including Fullmetal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell. Series Compositor for No-Rin, Michiko Yokote, will be Shiro Bakos Series Supervisor and director Mizushima will also be in charge of Sound Direction.

God damn it. So much potential wasted.

 

[AquaWateria]

I can't believe the girls are okay with this.

That sneaky bastard is shameless.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

But maybe that's a boy?

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

But maybe that's a boy?

Hopefully Mel Kishida again.

 

[Link Man]

Are you going to watch the OVA's?

And I love that gif. LOL!!!!



Great story. It's wonderful to hear that this show affected someone's life in a positive way. (I think I have heard this story before but it makes me happy to know what a positive and profound affect it has had on my and other peoples lives)

Maybe later. Now that I'm free to watch a show of my own choosing, I think I'd like to check out School Days.

God damn it. So much potential wasted.

Mizushima worked with her in the past on Squid Girl and Joshiraku, which both turned out pretty well.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I think last time I asked what the fascination with Japanese and upskirts/pantsu is somebody responded that the underwear is western and came into Japan relatively much later, so they're obsessed with it now.

Isn't it time the industry grew up from its fascination though? I hope somebody doesn't say it's part of culture now. Because if so ugh.

 

[Blusby]

Aren't used pantsu vending machines an actual thing over there?

This isn't a CLAMP series, so I don't know why you think she'd be involved.

Not to mention Hare+Guu.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I've heard of that as well. But only in red light districts and such.

 

[madp]

Oh holy shit this Queen is a cute.

Miyukichi of the season.

Wow, this character design is my jam. Consider me unconditionally interested.

 

[cajunator]

IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH LIKING TWIN TAILS

Hell no there isnt!

More Parasyte cast revealed:

Kimishima Kana: Sawashiro Miyuki
Tachikawa Yuko: Anno Kisei Ayano
Suzuki Akiho: Maeda Reina
Tamiya Ryoko: Atsuko Tanaka (Oh hell yes, best girl voiced by best seiyuu)
Urakami: Hiroyuki Yoshino

More Miyukichi!

Love Lab 1

hmmm does this image sum up my thoughts?


I suppose it doesn't... but at the same time I didn't find the first episode funny.... that being said I at least don't mind Riko, and I liked that her hairband kept changing... maki on the other hand I am unsure if she will grown on me or if I will end up wishing she went through with it


either way I found her in general annoying... but with less time focused on her and more characters to play off of (since it seems like the student console is going to get back together) she could end up being ok.

The glimpse of the shy first year we got wasn't very positive for me, but on the other side the glimpse of the treasurer we got has me having some hopes for that character.

My final thoughts though, at least through a single episode, Nozaki-kun is way more amusing. But love lab was alright and at the very least you wouldn't have to twist my arm to make me watch episode 2.

Pretty soon the ex school council president shows up and the show really gets fun.

 

[Freezasaurus]

I never finished Love Lab.

I liked it, there was just too much other shit I was watching at the time.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I've heard of that as well. But only in red light districts and such.

I've heard those used to be a thing until recently, but always seemed like more of a stereotype/rumor thing for me never bothered to research it. But if they're still a thing I hope all of them are actually worn by sweaty fat guys before placing them for sale.

 

[fertygo]

You're right, but even then I'm skeptical on how much they can get away with. Does NTV air stuff with entrails and whatnot strewn all about?



I agree, he does look better. Just thought it was an odd change.

NTV are station that airing Hunter X Hunter. You can probably gouge the censorship level from that.

 

[Branduil]

I missed that Mizushima was directing. Could be fun then.

 

[Crash Station]

NTV are station that airing Hunter X Hunter.

Hunter x Hunter doesn't have mangled corpses with organs and bones leaking out.

 

[Femmeworth]

This isn't a CLAMP series, so I don't know why you think she'd be involved.

Because it would have led to the misanthropic, postmodern series the industry deserves.

Looking at Michiko Yokote's resume, she has actually worked with Nanase Ohkawa before. *hope rises sightly*

Edit: Mizushima is certainly capable of going into such territory by himself it just wouldn't be the same.

 

[fertygo]

Hunter x Hunter doesn't have mangled corpses with organs and bones leaking out.

See the edit, but from that one we can said its one level above that what can shown in let say regular Tokyo Ghoul episode.

 

[Jarmel]

The stuff in Tokyo Ghoul isn't even that bad.

I found a gashapon one in Nakano Broadway and posted a picture of it here in AnimeGAF back in April.

 

[fertygo]

The stuff in Tokyo Ghoul isn't even that bad.

And they cansor the shit of it, its probably censorless at all on NTV.

 

[AquaWateria]

The stuff in Tokyo Ghoul isn't even that bad.

I mean in episode 7

Spoiler

the mom got her head chopped off

and they censored that. But the thing is they haven't reached to the real gory parts yet. And they are definitely gonna censor the shit out of that if they do reach those parts.

 

[zulux21]

they didn't censor it they outright removed it and removed any horror from the scene lol

 

[Blusby]

The pillars of light in ep. 6 sent my sides to the heavens.

 

[renegade_dewitt]

No wonder I was confused as to what happened to the mother after the doves killed her.

Thanks for the clarification!

 

[AquaWateria]

They are probably gonna fix that in the BD but damn was that really stupid of them. The censorship really does ruin the adaption in making you feel nothing for those scenes. All those feelings of horror from the manga is lost in the anime.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

Parasyte PV

The body horror is looking really gross and unsettling.

I'm sold. Body horror is one of my favorites types of horror.

 

[Kieli]

Y'all weren't sold when I said I was going to hook it into my veins?

:'(
