Support NeoGAF

[Rhapsody]

This is exactly what it is. Its gross. Based on manga-GAF reviews, its a story about some dude that seduces women to have sex with him as part of a game or something that his blood related aunt makes him do. When he is successful in tricking girls into having sex with him, she rewards him by having him suck her breasts (this is why people call it Aunt Tits).

You make it sound worse than it- No... that sounds about right.

Certain... Xenoglossia subtitles are all kinds of terrible, but from what I remember, what Haruka was doing was not specifically entirely about rescuing Makoto and Nebula - the issue is that the battle between Riffa and Makoto, and Hiems reaction to it, had caused sudden movement within the areas tectonic plates, which in turn were threatening to cause the entire area to crumble into the ocean. What Haruka did was use Imbers gravity-manipulation, in the form of a punch (which is pretty much how it always works), to deliver a pin-point strike directly into the plates to settle things down (which Riffa uses the opportunity to make off with Hiems core). Whilst it looked like she was punching the hill, she was actually punching inside it.

Somehow that explanation is more ridiculous than the one I dreamed up in my head.

As for the nods to other Sunrise works I can't really make any connections to it as the only Sunrise works I've seen are the first 12 episodes of Code Geass and Love Live. The closest comparison to Xenoglossia that I have been making is to Evangelion as that is the only mecha I've seen I could make any comparisons to.

Turn A part 1 up for preorder~ DVD only



http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/oQMxvqNdSVCN5pHkI5/browse/item/105253/4/0/0

Turn A has such a nice design for a Gundam.

 

[Clov]

I guess someone ran the numbers. It's not too surprising considering how badly BD's do in general, anime excluded.

Sure would need to for companies doing these kinds of releases to offer up a very small selection of BD's that fans could snap up if they wanted, but I imagine doing small runs for BD's isn't very economical.

Rather than BD in general, I think the main problem is that it's an older Gundam title. A lot of the older Gundam anime released by Bandai Entertainment didn't do great on DVD from what I've heard, so they may not be confident in Turn A's sales. I figured they would at least try to do a BD release given the already limited nature of Sunrise's partnership with RightStuf, but it doesn't seem to be going in that direction so far. Perhaps if Turn A does decently first, then things might change.

Might be the reverse importation bogeyman too since Turn A's second BD box was in December of last year., I think.

Turn A part 1 up for preorder~ DVD only

What fucking year did I just wake up in?

 

[Vito]

Righstuf still works mostly with DVDs cause the cost is lower

And Turn A BD boxes are fairly recent so I guess there's that reverse importation fear as well. On the upside the DVD sets are really inexpensive, so there's that to look forward to... hopefully the show gets some new fans (and good subtitles).

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Future Card Buddyfight! Episode 60 EngDub

Pretty intense, especially the Purgatory Knights Staff Dragon along with Purgatory Knights Leader, Demios Sword Dragon and those six attacks.

I love the Baks/Gremlin deck building aspect behind the scenes, I cant wait for their decks to clash in the future to see who becomes best one.

 

[Clov]

I didn't realize the BD-Box was so recent! Given that, if we get BDs of Turn A at all, it will likely be in another year or two.

 

[CDiggity]

Inferno Cop is on Crunchyroll now, Trigger's best work!

Seven seconds! Hand drawn!

Also, for those who are going to watch Ninja Slayer, it's going to be directed by the same guy. That should be a major hint as to the tone of the show.

 

[Joe Molotov]

You make it sound worse than it- No... that sounds about right.

 

[wonzo]

will only watch ninja slayer if it has inferno cop tier flash-tweenkuga

 

[victreeb3l]

Yona of the Dawn 22

Fuck what an awesome episode. That goddamn cliffhanger damnit.

Yona... *bow* Yun too. Both of them got beat up really bad but managed to complete their missions. Mad respect.

Spoiler

From the previews it looks like things wont be antagonistic between Soo Won and Yona. After all hes hiding her in his cloak and all. Damnit, things were going so well too

Shit this better have a season 2. So tempted to start reading the source material.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Yeah Id be sad if Yona just ends at this. It has so much potential.

 

[R_thanatos]

Yeah Id be sad if Yona just ends at this. It has so much potential.

Well after this arc is when things get real "for real" , the real meat of the story is there ( remember that small tease of it in episode 1 ? )

D-Frag Dub trailer

 

[John Blade]

Do anyone know if Turn A Gundam will ever have a English dub or this was the main plan when they release this show.

 

[Narag]

Do anyone know if Turn A Gundam will ever have a English dub or this was the main plan when they release this show.

I'd be shocked if it ever did.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Do anyone know if Turn A Gundam will ever have a English dub or this was the main plan when they release this show.

Probably not, show is a decade and a half old.

 

[Branduil]

They could hire the Garzey's Wing people to do it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Gintama - Benizakura Arc (is that the name) or the first serious arc or something

It was okay. Show does good balancing the drama and comedy parts, never feels like the tone shifts randomly. I've really started to enjoy this show in the 40s-50s.

Are the other serious arcs better/longer then this and is there an overarching plot? Kind of curious. Although with this kind of series I'd doubt there will be any major deaths or huge world shaking events since that would kinda sully the comedy parts. At least I assume.

 

[Moaradin]

I think a few of the more serious arcs are better than that one. The Benizakura Arc is just the first one to show what Gintama is capable of.

First movie is based on this and worth a watch sometime. Mostly the same but the ending fight is expanded and it was firehawk's most favoritest movie ever until the release of Gravity.

 

[John Blade]

They could do that. Still, kinda wish they did release it with English dub but if it mean to have a show come up with the Japanese dub only, I not too mind with it.

 

[Tuck]

All caught up on Death Parade - so damn good. Last two episodes were intense.

Completely surpassed my expectations.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

First movie is based on this and worth a watch sometime. Mostly the same but the ending fight is expanded and it was firehawk's most favoritest movie ever until the release of Gravity.

Only two movies? I can do that, I watched all those One Piece and Bleach movies! I assume the second movie is supposed to be like the last thing in the series but not something that comes at the end of the total production.

 

[Jarmel]

First movie is based on this and worth a watch sometime. Mostly the same but the ending fight is expanded and it was firehawk's most favoritest movie ever until the release of Gravity.

Would it make sense to watch the movie instead of the TV episodes?

You missed the part where he almost rapes his cousin.

As the series progresses the serious arcs get much better.

Plus my favorite serious arcs are Yoshiwara, 4 Devas, and Courtesan of a Nation which are brilliant. Then again I really love all the serious arcs in Gintama.

 

[Narag]

Would it make sense to watch the movie instead of the TV episodes?

I'm the wrong person to ask given how detached I am from it all. I'd imagine Jexhius, Firehawk, and Hosanna could give good reasons one way or the other though.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Oh yeah, why does Kagura get Worf'd so much? I thought she was from the strongest race in the universe, how did they tie her to a cross!

 

[NeonZ]

There's an overaching plot mostly involving Takasugi's and two other groups that you haven't met yet. It moves very slowly though and mostly stayed in the background until two recent arcs in the manga that weren't animated.

The biggest changes introduced by most serious arcs are generally the addition of new characters and locations that then are sometimes incorporated into the comedic parts too.

Gundam build fighter TRY - 22

Exciting episode ...and then the best team lost.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

The Red Spider arc remains my favorite of Gintama arcs. Haven't finished the last season though.

Would it make sense to watch the movie instead of the TV episodes?

It's the same thing with slightly better production values and a hilarious added intro and outro, so yes, watching the Benizakura movie instead of the corresponding TV episodes makes sense.

 

[AquaWateria]

The Red Spider arc remains my favorite of Gintama arcs. Haven't finished the last season though.

Even though I enjoyed that arc, I thought most people felt meh about it.

Is there a reason why it's your favorite arc in Gintama?

 

[Save 'N Quit]

Those big ass titties (Spoilers, I guess)

Hoo boy.

That harem is going to be filled with nothing but D-cups at this rate.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Even though I enjoyed that arc, I thought most people felt meh about it.

Is there a reason why it's your favorite arc in Gintama?

I found the villain and his motivations particularly compelling. Plus episode 180, I think it is, is the best directed episode in the whole show.

That feelign when you level up a pokemon only to find out that his evolved form sucks !

Time to curse the moon ....read the mood a little will you ???

 

[rrvv]

Akihabara, shibuya, shinjuku, harajuku done.

Shinmai maou no testament - 10
There was a low amount of light beam during this episode , especially surprising considering we had a "growing up transformation".

But they still find more and more stupid ways to censor stuff

LOL

So th main vilain of this arc is

Spoiler

into NTR ? That's his motivation ?

 

[Jarmel]

Hoo boy.

That harem is going to be filled with nothing but D-cups at this rate.

So what is going on with these arms?

You don't say ...

oh Goddamn.

Dat bloodlust ...

Ps: that cliffanger hurt like hell in the manga too when it happenned . I hope you're all ready for next week

Episode 22 was nothing but a 10/10 episode.

 

[Mothman91]

Watched first two episodes of Nichijou, this is amazing.

 

[Bob Coffee]

Gundam Build Frauds try 22.

fuck you sunrise, fuck you gbf try writing staff, obari gets a pass for dat super robot action.
the team that truly deserves to fight and win got jobbed so hard, making Lucas nemesis's jobbing last week look tame. so much jobbing took place that the world unemployment rates dropped 5%. tryon 3 and sakai's team of true bros are such a joy to watch in action compared to team try frauds, that this season should have been about them, and the true final battle should have been tryon 3 vs team edgia. please for the love of god, if there is a world tourney season let sekai, fumina and scrubby mc scrub yuuma get eliminated first round and let the cool s1 characters + minato sakai take the stage.

tryon 3 > team try frauds

 

[m_shortpants]

God damn the Big O had a great sound track.

Also, after finally watching Cowboy Bebop it's clear where Big O pulls inspiration from. (many places)

 

[Quasar]

Is that the one where everyone is excited because the dude bangs his aunt?

Well that is one potential endgame. Certainly thats not what the manga has been about.

 

[Branduil]

It's happening.

41-year-old Hiromasa Yonebayashi, the director of The Secret World of Arrietty (2010) and Marnie Was There (2014), confirmed today that he had already left Studio Ghibli.

He joined a talk show event for the release of the DVD/Blu-ray of Marnie held in Tokyo today, March 12, with Japanese figure skater Daisuke Takahashi who performed in the CMs for the disc. He announced that he left Studio Ghibli in the end of the last year and was no longer a member of the company. He said, "I talked with producer (Yoshiaki) Nishimura about what to do. I still want to make films, though it isn't clear what they will be like," and added, "For example, I want to try an action-oriented or fantasy film, which are totally opposite from Marnie."

In early February, Studio Ghibli co-founder/producer Toshio Suzuki confirmed that, after Hayao Miyazaki's retirement from feature films, the studio was still open for business but was doing virtually none at all.

 

[Quasar]

So with a anime of 'Chivalry of a failed knight' announced I gave the source material a sample.

Pretty similar to other school shows where students train to fight in school competitions. Sword fighting with magic abilities for this one.

One upside is the main couple confess to each other start dating really quickly.

Certainly with the amount of dueling I can see why someone would want to animate it. Of course I expect like most of these things they will filter out any non combat/non ecchi material. And for this add ecchi as its really pretty limited from what I've read.
