I said god damn.

I really like the UI porn in this. It's just plain informative at times.

Oh god, those beam saber wings. Simultaneously hilarious and awesome. That upgrade even came with an Itano circus. Change to the ED to reflect the Double Bullet was nice.
Recurring theme of how revenge consumes lives reared its ugly head yet again..
Figured Grodek would go out like that. Only the second time I've seen adult Flit show emotion too, both times involving someone from the first arc, never anyone from the second.

This was from the first arc but even then I thought it was addressed to Flit as much as it was to the person Grodek was talking to.
 
Gintama 178

Holy fuck! How do they keep managing to top themselves with each arc?!

i don't know but the best is yet to come ( for you ) i wish i could taste the awesome with a fresh mind again but i can't enjoy..

I think it's good writing , awesome animation and a strong casting... but hey i'm not an expert

I still haven't seen OWG by itself though, actually, I've only ever seen it as part of the Digimon movie.

I mean, dude, Barenaked Ladies. It's been - one week since ya looked at me~
 
Well, for one thing, OWG requires you to be familiar with the Digimon universe.

Our War Game is enhanced by being familiar with Digimon, but I think it can be enjoyed even if you don't have any prior experience with the series. The film does a good job of setting up who all the major characters are.

Although, being the fan that I am, I'm probably the worst person to judge this.

That didn't exist. I don't know what you're talking about.

I actually want to figure out your strange obsession with everything being cat ears. There are many kinds of animal ears in this world, and it's a shame you leave yourself blind to it.

Well I can fully understand an obsession with catgirls/cat ears because I share this obsession.

Flashbacking was slightly better than DRAMAing. Not sure how I feel about this plot, it'll probably be cringeworthy drama and that'll be before they somehow manage to squeeze in some more DRAMA for the hell of it.

It's such a random place to dump a flashback episode too.

That said, clearly the teacher is the best choice out of all the girls. Clearly.

Why? It's not like Summer Wars is some classic.

No, but given that the plot shares some common ground you can compare them.

I think that characters and animation are far better in SW (I saw the digimon first series, so I know). The plot being good too, there is nothing that could move the balane in Digimon's favor.

Not even this show's safe from the dreaded Chuuni menace but fortunately Johnny Beppu Jesus Christ himself has some words of wisdom to share with us all.

Thanks, Jesus. Next week looks to be a pretty fun one and it's sticking with the "vampire" for now so I'm sure there's gonna be heaps of GAP LOVE to come.

We're not talking about the Digimon series, we're talking about the second movie.
 

Are you saying the characters and animation aren't the same? From the screens posted here, they look like exactly the same as I remember them.

We're not talking about the Digimon series, we're talking about the second movie.

But it is based on the series, kind of like a Pokemon movie, right? Then it is totally ok to compare with series' characters and animation, or isn't it?

This is what the TV series looks like:


This is what the movie looks like:


I wouldn't say they look the same. Anyway, we're comparing this to Summer Wars because it's from the same director and has a similar plot and visual style. Certainly Summer Wars looks better by virtue of having a much larger budget and benefiting from more mature digital technology, but looks weren't really what the argument was ever about.

This looks like it's from a different show entirely.

Woolf demonstrating his manliness once again. I've a soft spot for a normal pilot who is actually better than a newtype X-Rounder.
Asemu screaming in his cockpit from nearly frying his brain was good stuff. I was afraid the danger of that helmet was just going to be lip service
Just another example of how Flit fucked up his kid. Hopefully he follows Woolf's path but hey, I'd be fine with him frying his brain to nothing and the third arc picking up with his sister's kid. :lol

So the animation and chara-design is even worse than the series. That strengthens my point even more.

But truly I remembered the character as if they were the same. Please excuse my memory, it was years ago.

I'm rewatching the movie on youtube now and it's really weird how two monsters have an out-and-out brawl in Heightonview Terrace and the only people in their apartments who notice or come out to check are kids.

Did you... did you... *breathes into paper bag* Did you say the TV series art is better than the movie?!

OK so let's put it in a more easy way that no one would ever be able to oppose:

Digimon sucks as an animated show/movie/whatever. Games are good though (at least the one I played on PS1 was).

On the other hand, Summer Wars is a great movie. Stop comparing them please.

Dunno why you guys all act so surprised. I've heard the same sort of comments about the designs in Hosoda's One Piece movie. Maybe he's just a hack after all?

I don't understand how you can like Summer Wars but think that Our War Game looks bad.

Futari Wa Precure 24

Things are always darkest before the dawn.
The evil dude (he looks like Piccolo more than Krillin actually) comes back and
captures the remaining prism stones from mipple and mepple. When it seems all hope is lost, the prism stones react in Piccolo dude's hands and somehow weaken him while returning to mipple and mepple. In his weakened state, evil dude is suddenly super vulnerable to the Precure and easily destroyed. His prism stone completes the collection. The Precures are rewarded with...
A NEW TOY!
Also a really weird creature comes out from the new device and its more annoying than Mepple and Mipple. Where does this show go from here? I have no idea.

What? That's just...

How do you look at those two pictures and think that?

This is the worst point anyone has ever attempted to make.

Digimon as an anime property is better than your favorite anything.
