I really want to re-experience Akira with you guys. Last year, I fell asleep right before Tetsuo turned into...that.

 

[Man God]

Julia is as sweet as Honey.

Sure, it doesn't "ruin" the OVA or make it unwatchable but that and a lot of other, some major, plot points don't make sense without the prior knowledge. Way too many times I was confused as fuck until someone in this thread offered an explanation from the book. It's BAD writing and any halfway decent editor should have slapped Hirano upside the head for it and made him explain his own plot point.

I think you were thinking about the story far more the then the actual mangaka who wrote it. I think when the editors slapped him and said "explain this shit before you end it" we got the final volume of the manga/OVA being 90% exposition to try and explain things which ended up being more confusing then had they just left it unexplained. I really do think the mangaka just wanted people to see gore porn and action and the story was just a flimsy excuse to see London turn into a river of blood and shonen battles.

It's the shorter version of the one that aired last year.

Not that I'm complaining, that TV spot was awesome.

 

[Grexeno]

Wow. These fuckers made a new promo for Akira. I'll be damned.

It's a slightly shorter version of last year's.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I had a pretty vivid Inuyasha dream last night. Is was weird, but cool. Is it not back until January?

 

[grandjedi6]

No, i'm pretty sure it was a different one.

Nope:

[Schadenfreude]

Okay, lemme alone. I have a bad memory.

 

[Zonic]

Something ALWAYS happens to them, Winry.

 

[BassForever]

Memory of a gold fish

Fake Edit: Space Dandy.

The only one anyone in this thread would know lol

 

[Grexeno]

"Alright, I have to be shoehorned into the plot so tell me where to go."

 

[B-Dubs]

Winry, something is always happening to them.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Don't go, Winry. You'll be useless.

Returns in January at 1am

 

[Future Foundation]

Off-topic, that State Farm ad was adorable.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh my god nobody cares.

 

[grandjedi6]

Sorry bro, kinda had to create a crest of blood on your holy land and all!

 

[Man God]

Returns in January at 1am

Someone else returns on the day for lovers.

 

[BassForever]

Honestly you could make a filler/canon movie focused on the last two crest of blood spots that haven't been shown assuming Milos is one of the 3 locations not shown in the manga/anime.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Dude freaking out over Ed's arm.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Hellsing never seemed to be anything other than spectacle and ridiculous ultra-violence. That's what made it fun, though. It's also why I find it odd when people recommend it to anime newcomers. I can't imagine it being right for anyone unless you're in the mood for a bit of the old ultraviolence.

 

[Levyne]

creepy old guy o_o

lemme see your automail o_o

 

[Zonic]

Man, so many people are interested in his leg or arm being automail. & they will ALWAYS act like Winry when she sees them.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, I wouldn't want to have major surgery in a house made essentially of garbage.

Lots of action and violence with minimal plot that you have to think about, it makes it a pretty easy recommendation for someone who likes video games or is into action anime.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

"Secret police" huh?
Nazis here too.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

Ah that's cool. I'm glad they finished Hellsing, and Summer Wars was good, but I'm missing the shows I care about.

 

[Grexeno]

This wolf guy somehow manages to be sneaky.

 

[zedreamcast]

So is this place the FMA equivalent of Mexico?

 

[Seda]

rip Pablo, or Pedro, whatever your name was

 

[Line_HTX]

Border security. It's tough.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

RIP

 

[Schadenfreude]

Wait, Pedro and Sanchez? Is this Mexico?

 

[BassForever]

Well he is a wolf...

 

[Zonic]

Rewatching this, I kind of dig the architecture of this valley.

 

[Levyne]

[Man God]

I know this is Non-Canon as fuck but it makes Shou Tucker an even bigger jerk. Kratos had Talking Chimera for a long ass time!

 

[Schadenfreude]

gonzales

I'm only half into this, man. It's kinda boring.
