    So I watched the first two episodes and I'm pleased with the adaptation they've done so far. While they are taking some liberties with the timeline and order of events, they are doing a solid job of introducing the characters and their back stories. Glad to see they're using material from the short stories too.

    So far it's been the best SAO for me.. Something about not having superman Kirito take care of everything makes for a much more compelling story

    Just finished watching the Made in Abbyss compilation movies. Really good and I can definitely recommend them to anyone who hasn't watched the series. Cannot wait for the third one.

    Am I the only that cannot see an image, only a file name?
  5. Marzan
    Jesus, that image is going to haunt my dreams for days to come

    Your manga has to be very popular or have a sizeable captive audience ...cough...Kentaro Miura...cough.. to get away with those kinds of breaks.

    Spoilers are out today. You want to know? Looking forward to S3 a lot.

    And at a good time too. The last novel is coming out on the 19/20th of November so there is maximum interest in the series and a very, very good chance that the last season will contain the definitive ending. Expect spoilers galore a week from now. The shipping wars will be furious. For the record I expect the lone wolf ending, he he.

    It won't be Mexico. Due to NAFTA and the upcoming replacement of it, Mexico is an common free trade area with the US and Canada and the treaties include extensive protections to each others patents and trademarks. That being said, the monopoly is crumbling and I hope we can soon get some of the first original Macross releases outside of Japan in ages. Let's see who dares do it first. Let's not forget that a an extra dimension to consider in licensing Macross is all the music. That can raise the expense of licensing exponentially.

    To be fair when I posted this I was thinking a lot about Gundam Reconguista which I caught recently. Some of the decision making of the characters there bears no relation to their background or description. They just do...
  11. Marzan
    Nah, it's old as anime itself. Have you ever seen a Tomino Gundam show? The decision making of some the characters sometimes make you ask yourself what kind of fumes the writing team was inhaling when they made this stuff.

    As @HannouHeiki so kindly posted in another thread (and I quote him below), Harmony Gold has lost it's opposition against the Big West's trademark of the word Macross in the European Union. With this, there's little HG can do to block BW doing business in Europe. Expect the latin speaking markets in Europe to sooner rather than later have some Macross releases . Good day for everyone!

    Yōjo Senki. was a blast. I normally don't like isekai for the blatant Gary Stu self inserting so many of them are culpable of, but Tanya really doesn't do that. Despite her enormous talents, you really get the feeling she's on the edge all the time, uncomfortable with the world she's in. And even when she's the villain, you cannot help but root for her. Don't forget to catch the movie too.

    There's certainly tonal elements of it in the first 2 books with the short stories, specially in the likes of "A Grain of Truth". It certainly disappears in the novels; I reckon Sapkowski matured as a writer and found a more cultivated writing voice. I have never played the games so I cannot comment on those.

    Love this song. Arcade Fire are so good live as well.

    When I was kid, I took as a matter of fact that by time I was in my forties we'd have colonies on Mars and doing exploration on the outer planets. With the limited budgets in space exploration, I think my grandchildren might not live to see that.

    I have never played the game but have read the first 2 books (with all the short stories) and have started the novels. Great stuff. Regarding the trailer, It looks ok I suppose. Very "epic" and kind of missing the fairy tale style that the stories have. I hope they keep some of Geralt's wit and humour and don't do him as a dour bastard all the time.

    I got mine in when it was still 40 bucks. Still beats when they were selling them at 25 per each box.

    Been a while since I posted here. The fall season is so far average at best but there's a couple of decent shows in there. No Guns Life has an old school feel to it which an old geezer like me enjoys. Oresuki is an ok romcom and Kemono Michi is a ridiculous over the top but unexpectedly hilarious isekai about an animal loving wrestler who's trying to set up a pet shop in a fantasy world filled with monster. No typo. Vinland Saga is still the best anime on by a country mile.

    Demon Slayer ended on a big high. Art and animation are top notch as always. It's a shame about the Dumb and Dumber characters that ruined every scene they were in with their ceaseless screaming.

    Just finished the second season of Mindhunter on Netflix and I'm on to the second season of The Terror on Amazon Prime. The former was a bit meh after the splendid first season.
  22. Marzan
    Right. So now we have a confirmation that the movie is coming out in 2020. We also get teased a new Valk and the possibility of a sixth member for Walkure. Will the fan favorite theory of Mirage joining the girls onstage become a reality. We're going to have to wait and see.

    I hate to quote Josef Stalin but he had a good point when he said that "quantity has a quality all of its own"

    Did you watch the entire 49 episode run at 2x speed?
  25. Marzan
    This current season has been really disappointing. Even some of the shows that started strong lost their oomph soon (Dr. Stone and Fire Force) and most of the others were pretty bad to begin with. I hope the fall season is better.
