New Megaman Animated Show in 2017
JB0 replied to Valkyrie Hunter D's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hey, Inafune tried to kill Zero off a couple of times in the X series. Capcom wouldl't ever let it stick. -
This is news to me, and I find it highly pleasing news.

Personally, I think the show has two big problems. One is they're rushing it. The second arc has maintained a breakneck pace that sucks all the fun out of it as they try to get through plot points as fast as a(n almost) biweekly schedule allows. Also, they wrote (the best) three heroines out in three consecutive episodes, and then left them sitting in limbo forever. Like I want to watch a Sailor Moon episode that doesn't have Ami in it. The second is that budgetary. Toei COULD have said "This is Sailor Moon, we will spend the money to do it right because we are guaranteed to make it back with sales", but what they DID say is "This is Sailor Moon, we will do it as cheap as possible because we are guaranteed to sell it anyways", and it shows in every episode.

Terminator 5/Terminator: Genisys, opening July 1, 2015
JB0 replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
They did the same thing with Salvation, too. It was kind of amusing watching how carefully they framed the shots to hide the cyborg guy's cyborgosity so they could do a big reveal later, when they already threw it all over every piece of advertising they had. And hell, T3 was TITLED "Rise of the Machines". ... Is it still a spoiler if you name your movie after the big "surprise" plot twist?- 508 replies

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
JB0 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm still watching Sailor Moon Crystal, and I don't rightly know why. The second arc has been a trainwreck of rushed incompetence. ... Oh, right. I'm watching it for the engrish. "Queen Neo Queen Serenity" is a thing they actually said out loud. -

AKIRA LIVE ACTION MOVIE = Life Support?
JB0 replied to Macross007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I recall being just very confused. ... It was pretty as heck, though. -
I'm American, I had to ask the internet what a Beeb is. That said, it looks like Acorn made a real computer instead of an overglorified doorstop.

JB0 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
My way also has the advantage of acknowledging that MP3 Soundwave is a toy first, music player second. And that at that price he should bring quality to both sides. ... For user interface purposes, I'd also replace the cassette non-window with an OLED panel. Not necessarily a particularly huge one, just enough to be useful. Throw his Decepticon symbol up when not actively operating the player. Basically a Sansa Clip series, just with a CF interface instead of SD. For a non-electronics company, I do admit that the CF interface is a large obstacle. Takara was basically dependent on someone else's design already doing what they wanted. But getting a decent MP3 player with a display in there should've been doable, and it's appalling that they didn't. On a personal aesthetics note, I'd make his crotch buttons mirror the original Soundwave button layout. Silver plastic instead of chromed, because the silver won't wear off. Adds some visual interest to the design, as well as tickling my nostalgia bone. Always felt MP3 Soundwave was just too darn plain. And now I've spent entirely too much time speccing out my dream Soundwave toy that will never exist.- 17029 replies

JB0 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
And here's what my dream Soundwave player would've done... I know this wasn't really workable for budgetary reasons(Takara doesn't make electronics, so they had to buy someone else's MP3 player), but I would've compromised functionality myself, not by using a crappy barely-functional chinese player chip, but by using larger and more expensive CompactFlash cards instead of the ubiquitous SD format(and definitely not the decidedly NON-ubiquitous MiniSD form factor).. The reason I'd do this is because CF cards are JUST big enough that he could come with non-functional "dummy" cards that both fit his chest cavity and actually transformed into the tape-bots. No crappy Frenzy&Rumble headphones here!- 17029 replies

Oh cripes, it doesn't even do SDHC? What was Takara THINKING? They could've made an amazing product, instead they apparently grabbed the cheapest, junkiest MP3 player they could find out of China to implant in the poor guy. He cost way too much to be treated like a cheap novelty toy.- 17029 replies

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread

I think Christmas is when they're supposed to clarify if it's Macross Delta or Macross Triangle, or something sillier.- 2715 replies

Seriously, MiniSD? The HELL? Best bet is get a MicroSD-MiniSD adapter. Best bet for THAT is to find a MicroSD card that comes with a full set of adapters. Because that's seriously the only place I've ever seen MiniSD in any form.- 17029 replies

JB0 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
In all honesty, I think half of why I loved Shockwave so much WAS the fact that he had two legs and joints where joints belonged. The other half, of course, was that he turned into a raygun with light and sound. But look on the bright side. If Prowl HAD had two separate legs, you'd've had shattered Prowls ANYWAYS. That's the lesson I took away from Tracks, anyways. I think I may actually be bitter about my Tracks experience.- 17029 replies
