Sounds like PSG was good. It's too bad I was busy, it's been in my backlog for a while. I'd be down to watch FLCL. Haven't seen that either.

 

[Xiraiya]

So, I was chatting with some of my friends and two of them are PC gamers. One of them bought a PS4 for bloodborne and other stuff. The one who didn't is saying he is going to wait for BB to come to PC. My other friend then sent us this

Well I hope you explained to him how BB is in the Demon Souls situation, especially since those two games share lore connections.

 

[IDKAboutThat]

so uh... when's FLCL?

Oh boy
More ending salt

 

[360pages]

FLCL is one series that I think should be watch back to back, it's pretty much a long movie.

 

[croten]

Oh boy
More ending salt

wowowowowow
FLCL Has a great ending I don't know what you are talking about

 

[ArclightBorealis]

If there is any one old Gainax show you all watch in the future, it needs to be Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

At very least watch the second to last episode dubbed. Because holy shit.

Pretty much. A long, semicomprehensible, penisy movie.

I am the only one out of them who hasn't played DeS.

Not everyone agrees with you and me on that one bro

 

[JooseBawcks]

After Mara watches FLCL he has to play Alisia Dragoon

Is that the actual dialogue? Or is that a ghost stories situation?

It's great all the way up till the very end.

It shoulda ended with those jpeg legs squishing what's his face.
Or hell, just take out the last minute or so. That'd ne fine too.

I think it's a lot easier to swallow than P&S ending mostly because it really isn't that random.

 

[ArclightBorealis]

The context for the episode is that

Spoiler

the main characters end up in a world that's just a big pastiche of american cliches and hollywood films.

So yes, actual dialogue. It's not a gag dub.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Not everyone agrees with you and me on that one bro

People don't like the FLCL ending?

 

[TechnicaUS]

I thought it was fine. Not the best, but good enough.

 

[Skrams]

Not everyone agrees with you and me on that one bro

I assume people just don't like it due to

Spoiler

a feeling of unresolvedness? It's been quite a few years since I've seen FLCL, but if I remember right that's the feeling. Makes sense with the series direction, but I guess people could be annoyed at that too.

 

[sjay1994]

I forget why I stopped watching FLCL.

I was at the 4th episode to.

 

[ArclightBorealis]

The thing I find hilarious about people being upset at Panty & Stocking's ending is that, in a series entirely devoted to being as bizarre and crude as possible that they would expect an ending to be anything remotely sane or tone appropriate. The fact that it's following off of the studio's history with ending their shows on the worst note possible (Evangelion being the biggest offender), them taking the Gainax Ending up to 11 purposefully is just icing on the cake.

I am not too bothered by it.

So, am I crazy or has it been kinda slow here, this thread? Just a random question.

Well, I know I'm generally crazy, I mean over this specifically.

how could stocking possibly be a demon? She lived in heaven for a while yeah? Don't you think someone would've noticed a demon walking around?

I know why they did it...but Goddamn it! It doesn't help I didn't think the joke in particular was funny.

I've noticed that too. I've been busy, you know what I'm doing, and I've actually been able to keep up.

Yeah it is.

GG rean. I almost died when I thought the Katana Jesus hit.

 

[croten]

So for FLCL the sub I can find seems to cut off a bit of the ending of each episode. Other than that there is the dub which I remember the SBF saying it wasn't bad on the podcast though I haven't watched it.

 

[mike0dude]

they even teased a sequel in the Panty and Stocking CD.

It's been slower, but I wouldn't say it's been slow.

Half were watching anime and the other half went to play 3rd strike.
Secret other half playing BB and another sleeping or about to.
Night.

 

[ShakuganSan]

Well would you look at the time. We lose an hour in a few minutes. Looks like I missed the PSG watch, well i'll watch it on my own at a later date.

You're not wrong I noticed a slow down as well.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Ok, wasn't sure if my sense of space time was being warped. The speed of the thread seems to effect my sense of time passing.

 

[jack_package_200]

The FLCL dub is good

 

[Rean]

Spoiler

Yeah its pretty random.

Spoiler

The only thing that alludes to her being a demon is when she starts to go out with that other demon I guess.

Yeah it is.

GG rean. I almost died when I thought the Katana Jesus hit.

Haha GG Trainer

I need to train more with Chie, Naoto, and Aigis.

^Mara this should answer you.

So for FLCL the sub I can find seems to cut off a bit of the ending of each episode. Other than that there is the dub which I remember the SBF saying it wasn't bad on the podcast though I haven't watched it.

The dub is the only way I've seen it. It's a great dub.

 

[TechnicaUS]

Yeah its pretty random.

I just chalked that up to her having shit taste. And that feels like a stretch anyway.

Wha. Huh. Somehow didn't expect this... Was really hoping for Omega Boost.

 

[360pages]

And you're still missing the point of my salt.

Spoiler

The issue isn't it fitting in with the tone of the show or anything. In fact, there is no issue. It fits perfectly and it succeeds at what it set out to do. Rather, it's that an intentional shit ending is still a shit ending, hence the salt.

They achieved the extremely unfunny, terrible joke of an ending they wanted and fully managed to turn the erect hype of the show into a confused, flustered and flaccid one. For that, I congratulate them.

Pretty much this.

Spoiler

I don't think the joke was worth it. Considering people consider Gainex endings a BAD THING.

...No Another Century's Episode. Instead an RPG about Gnosticism that happens to also has robots.

Fuck.

Wha. Huh. Somehow didn't expect this... Was really hoping for Omega Boost.

This also would've been acceptable.

 

[croten]

So if we watch flcl, dub or sub?

I would prefer Sub but the dub is much higher quality on youtube.

I've mainly watched the dub, but it was really good. Sub is kinda hard to keep up with but eh, it's ok.

Sub, only cause I haven't heard it subbed.

I've never seen the sub. I assume it's good, but i really like the dub.

Of course the last episode is Xenogears.

Oh yeah, that Mechaweek intro is some cringeworthy stuff.

God dammit, Pat.
