    I did not recall that the UK license was separate from HG's other licensing timelines. It really has less to do with ownership of the company, and more to do with where the material is made, distributed, and sold. In the case of Titan, their books that I own are all printed in China (I was surprised by that, to be honest). So, HG could still have Titan make the books, just potentially not be able to distribute them in the UK (if that earlier license termination is correct). The interesting thing is that all this stuff is digital, too. I assume that a UK account could not purchase the books on Comixology after July.

    No Arcadia updates lately, so thought I'd share this. Popped up in one of those Pinterest "We found these pins that you might like" emails tonight.

    It's tough when you only have one piece of artwork to trace

    Just cloning?

    Starship Troopers 2? I recall that one being just bad, not funny bad. I guess it depends on the mood you're in when you sit down to watch a movie (as well as expectations; that was only the first sequel, and I still had hopes).

    Not going to comment on the writing. I think that's been beaten to death (or should be...). As for the art, I think it's pretty decent. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but if you consider this an original creation (which, being so different from the original story, it might as well be) and thus not hamstrung by the original character designs, then I think that this artist is doing a pretty good job. Better than the story deserves. EDIT: Guess the whole thing hadn't loaded when I looked. I take back some of my previous statement: Khyron and Azonia look terrible, especially in the profile shot. Yes to the Neanderthals comment... or maybe some sort of bobble-head mutation.

    I really did enjoy those classic Marvel Transformers comics as a kid.

    Looks like most of their big exciting announcements... are things that have been out for anywhere from 6 months to a couple years now.

    My initial thought was... something likely to be far more offensive... which is why I didn't post what I was thinking...

    The Mach 5 one makes me think of Transformers: Prime Wheeljack for some reason. As for "Black Beauty" there, I don't get the 3 section staff. Then again, I don't get why the artist chose to mark all of these drawings as though they were trademark registered, either... As for "Shotaro", Mayhem Mekanics Otomo is already pretty much 3/4 of the way there.

    Don't mess with me like that, getting me all excited that I'll finally be able to watch Discovery...
  12. RavenHawk
    Discovery? That one isn't on Netflix (at least not in the US).

    Minor Megazone 23 reboot update: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-03-24/megazone-23-reboot-project-only-remakes-part-i-and-ii/.144973 Basically... it's still in the works. Honestly, I was half expecting that they had quietly scrapped it, or at least put it on the back burner.

    Never seen it before, but it's gorgeous. A full set of scaled MOSPEADA ships has been on my wishlist for a long time. The best I've been able to find are just a couple for 3d printing (which, of course, I use to test out each new printer).

    Talking about 80s, I discovered that Dallos is available on Amazon Prime last night.

    That motorcycle Chromia is actually one of my favorite post-Prime toys, so I was hoping this new Chromia would be a spin on that when first announced (though, if I'd thought about how these are bringing in more of an homage to the G1 cartoon, I should have known better). I don't think I'll be picking this one up, but thanks for the great review.

    Stealth was an underrated fun movie.
  18. RavenHawk
    I hadn't even realized this was a new dub. I just assumed they were adding the old series that aired on Cartoon Network (I think) years ago to their streaming library, as-is.

    While I know he's meant to reference the tetrajets, there's also a bit of a cool BSG Viper vibe here.
  20. RavenHawk
    I have no experience with Ultraman at all... but dang if all of the artwork above in this thread isn't absolutely gorgeous!
  21. RavenHawk
    I liked that one a lot. Not anything groundbreaking or super memorable, to be honest, but just enjoyable and well made.
  22. RavenHawk
    I don't own any of the stuff being shown here, but I do own a bunch of the Tsutomu Nikei Sentinel/1000Toys stuff, and the MOSPEADA stuff, as well as Robox and... something else that I'm forgetting right now. Everything of theirs has been excellent quality and I have been very happy with. Even the Robox, which should be the most boring toy ever, is really well designed with lots of fun little details and gimmicks. At this point, Sentinel pretty much gets my money, no questions asked.

    Just finished Gun Gale Online. It was fine... but really didn't do anything for me. The last episode took some darker turns which I guess were supposed to be shocking or entertaining or whatever, after the more innocent (though still violent) previous 11, but... meh... just didn't do anything for me. I think I prefer a different style of storytelling.
  24. RavenHawk
    They have. When it first came out, it was stated that it was not a reboot, and the director said he avoided certain things because they would have required it to be a reboot, but Hasbro officially said a few weeks ago that it is now a reboot.

    I've watched it a couple times, and I like it. I will say (and I know I'm being nitpicky here) that I don't view it as really being an "adaptation", since it really follows very few beats from the manga. To me, it's more of an original story set in the Blame! framework, with appearances by characters that we know (though Cibo is somewhat different in her journey in it). It takes a lot of cues from Blame!, but is almost like Blame!^2 or NSE: Net Sphere Engineer, where the characters we know are more passing through the story, but it's in the world that we know from the original.* Even visually it seems to have gone with some designs more from those sequels than from the original (with Nehei's supervision and approval). It really is the electrofishers' story. To that point, the BLAME! Movie Edition: The Electrofishers' Escape comes out on April 2nd. * By the way, if you're like me and do the no-rush shipping on Amazon and rack up a bunch $1 digital credits, check out "Blame! Academy and So On". It's a cheap buy, and has a bunch of Nihei's short stories, including the ones I mentioned above, some humorous ones, and Battle Lepidopteran Hawk Moths, which reads like Nihei practicing for Sidonia.
