Yep, same. I remember my mind being blown by Akira when I was a kid watching it.

Yep, OoT3D was handled by another team called Grezzo and this WindWaker HD re-release is the result of experiments while developing the WiiU version, i.e. this would have existed anyway even if they never planned to release it. They basically thought instead of keeping it locked away internally, it's a bit of easy money and people may want it. Why wouldn't people want a game like Wind Waker looking the best it can?
Yeah, I don't think that it's bad and it's just nostalgia clouding my judgment. I'd be interested to see what people who never saw it years ago think of it.
Yes, that would be exactly why.
IRIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
One of my first animu. So much nostalgia. So much awesome.
Mail came!
Is that a DVD version?
nobody compares to her Bimo baby.

Well I would personally not want HDmakes/remakes of old games, but rather everyone work on actually new games. Imagine the drought Nintendo wouldnt have if these companies worked on just new things.
In anime, apart from people like me who'd never seen it originally, it didnt seem like many people actually wanted a Gundam Seed HDmake, but rather wanted another continuation of Gundam Seed, I imagine would be the same case for and HD version of Cowboy Bebop, TTGL HD, etc...

There's also people who no longer have the original console of games like Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker. I do, but I still would rather play a game that looked better.
And talking of nostalgia, I had that rush-to-the-head sensation that it provokes when you hear again that song you didn't remember for so long; that MOGRA COUNTDOWN 2012 - 2013 event (http://club-mogra.jp/2012/12/31/1504/) and the DJ kaw*kaw 'nostalgia bomb drop' before the New Year's last moments did it for me, in particular seeing those clubbers dancing the second Shin-chan opening (夢のENDはいつも目覚まし！
. It was too heavy for me...
... and what happened exactly to the crazy B.B.Queens? They were pretty famous at the time, right?

That sucks, man!
Dear God.

Im not as pissed about that as I am with Oreimo Bluray.
Especially the price. I would have paid that maybe if it was the first thing released, like I did with Fate Zero, but this is just a slap in the face to people who bought the DVD set, although that set is pretty nice anyway.

Wow, I just started watching Five Centimeter per Second, and damn is it pretty! No wonder where those wallpapers I had before came from.

Because writing for a blog on the internet, that's why.
Yeah, I think the existence of the LE DVD set for Oreimo makes the situation worse. Even if there had been an earlier DVD release, but just the cheaper version and not the LEs, it would be a little more palatable.

That scene was pretty hawt also

I think I did warn people about this show and this is pretty much why. It demands your full attention at all times and even then you'll still struggle to put it together at points. At least you're persevering!

The show never makes any sense. Just give up trying and wait for the show to explain everything.

Yeah, as if it wasn't already hard enough to keep up with the mysteries the timeline can be pretty confusing to. Also, sometimes you get weird cutaways to like, metaphors that are being represented visually just because.
We'll stay strong. Hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Sounds reasonable, haha.

And to think 'tis but a small slice of all the great anime movies that are out there! The backlog is truly infinite.

I feel that's just a sign of one generation of anime fans departing the scene for good, at least in terms of their active participation in the wider community. Most works that aren't, I dunno, Ghibli or Akira or FLCL works feel doomed to drop of the recommendation lists eventually.

Maybe it just has to do with most people who saw Vampire Hunter D thinking that it wasn't very good?
I'm just gonna wait at this point for maybe a stripped down version with just the bluray if they ever release one. I already have a fuckload of extra swag for Oreimo from the LE. Im sure a lot of the bluray package is the same stuff. If its not I may have to reconsider...
I liked both on initial viewing but boy did flaws surface fast on subsequent. That said I wouldn't mind a third
You know this talk about same character designers reminds me about paying more attention to that sort of thing now than when I was younger. For example, I watched DragonBall and DragonBall Z (although it was in the early nineties rather than the late nineties like it seems to have been for a lot of people here) so when the game Chrono Trigger came out the character designs reminded me of DragonBall, with the way Crono's hair looked like Goku's for example. It wasn't until years later that paying more attention I found out they looked similar because it WAS the same character designer, that being Akira Toriyama.
Thanks for that link. Haha, when typing my response to BGBW I was actually thinking back to this exact same conversation we had that you linked to. Talking about what shows Nishigori had worked on and the earlier conversation between 7Th and duckroll about whether he was the animated character designer for Magi or not due to some style similarities. Great minds think alike I guess.
Even after we found out later that it was Toshifumi Akai, 7Th had mentioned to me that he had worked with Nishigori a bit before, such as on The Idolm@ster, so it actually wouldn't really be all that surprising that he maybe picked up some of his style.

I read that
the manga has a lot more of him being a badass like in Episode 03
Well that's a rather depressing sentiment.
Is it already time for me to transcend into an enthusiast who's all about shilling the past? I thought I had a few years left.
I recall Kawajiri and Ninja Scroll 2 being mentioned one or two threads ago, which spurred me to rewatch most of Kawajiris works. Vampire Hunter D just sort of stuck with me for some reason, maybe because I really feel they did Yoshitaka Amanos concept work justice somehow. Meyer Link and D both had this air around them. The fact that the art and animation is top notch even today doesn't hurt either. Some of the extremely subtle yet powerful facial expressions in that movie really got to me.
I'm not one to decry the state of an entire industry as a whole just because I feel nostalgic though. From time to time there are still shows that really shine through, and that's more than enough for me.
How is this show? Anything like Fujoshi Kanojo?

An unlikely explanation, considering that Vampire Hunter D did pretty well overseas and was a staple recommendation for quite sometime, presumably due to that Streamline dub. Ninja Scroll used to be hot shit as well, of course. Of course, not every work stands the test of time and many works just eventually lapse into relative obscurity. Perhaps because they just aren't that great.

And what a lucky guy I am! I guess getting into anime "late" has it's benefits. And here I thought my backlog was big enough!

It's 5 minutes of not very funny jokes about girls making a manga magazine. Very average.

It's like a three and a half minute, mountain climbing K-ON.
The ability to hate Yayoi is proof that there truly is no higher power in this world.

I understand your hate for Iori but why Yayoi ;__;
Your backlog is full of classic stuff you haven't ever seen or experienced before. I am insanely jealous of your position actually.
This is probably actually true of everyone here. I know that I'm especially guilty, despite the sheer amount of stuff that I've seen, as evidenced by my MAL.
Shameful admission: the only Ghibli movies I've seen are Arietty, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki's Delivery Service. The first two of which I saw in the theater.

Show is still stylish as ever. That's probably the biggest thing I like this, just how cool it looks. Episode did drag but that was mostly due to Black Star.

Youve got some great movies ahead of you as well.
More shameful admission: I own Nausicaa and Laputa on BD and have yet to watch them.
Black Star is definitely the worst out of the main cast, and doesn't get better for a long time in the Manga.
Yeah, I remember some animation work and even promotional illustrations (best way to compare the two) for Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann by Toshifumi Akai. Probably him and Yūsuke Matsuo convinced Mr. Nishigori to defect to A-1 Pictures, or something like that (just saying, maybe it even is true!)...
