    That can work, honestly. Those which we think are alien, unrelatable aggressors can be much more than that. But that payoff needs to be there, the moment when everyone realizes that the monsters are just another race, and they can be communicated with, negotiated with, and worked alongside, More than one episode did that within an hour. The one which springs to mind is the misleadingly-titled Devil in the Dark, where a stock horror movie plot tips over on its side as the muderous monster is simply protecting her children, which federation miners have unknowingly been slaughtering with reckless abandon.

    *applauds* Everything I wanted to say. Attitude matters a lot more than continuity or setting.

    Customs is gonna confiscate your Switch as capitalist propaganda(read as: they are bored out of their gourd and want it for themselves). Hope you brought a good book. ... Seriously, though. Enjoy the trip.

    It isn't all even consistently lit. Which, okay, deep space surrounded by explosions, sure, maybe everything SHOULD be lit from a diffrent angle. But it looks really bad, and appealing takes precedenoe over realism.

    I thought they were supposed to trace stuff they couldn't legally include. How is tracing stuff they actually have a license for showing an understanding of the source?!

    ... in the new ongoing series "The Shadow Sentinels"!

    I just want to fit Macross 2036 into the time line. Spent too much time with that CD rip and TurboGrafX emulator for it to be non-canon.

    How else are we supposed to know that him Grimlock king? Kind of a shame they stumbled at the finish line here. If they'd kept it up for all five of their legally-distinct converting robot dinosaurs, this woulda been something very impressive. I do like that the transparent plastic is a part of his dinosaur neck on this one, though. The previous iterations suffered a bit from trying to offer both toy-style and cartoon-style with the add-on smoky plastic pieces. Integrating the smoky plastic into the design makes for a nicer end result.

    Kinda makes you wonder about the protoculture, though. They coulda dropped these thing into stars, folded them into supernovas, filled 'em up with antimatter, or stuffed 'em down the gullet of a black hole, but decided "nah, a pile of dirt'll be fine." I'll give them a pass on the protodevlin, but the Delta battleship shoulda been rendered inert before they disposed of it. ... But then, their idea of safe genetic testing in 7 WAS "spring-loaded spikes in the floor collect ample blood samples, it'll be fine". I probably shouldn't be surprised they just buried their doomsday weapons under dirt.

    Because God's light cannot shine upon the images they are finding, I assume.

    A. Shoulda used private/safe/incognito. B. Google never forgets. Shoulda used Duckduckgo.

    I watched season one expecting hilarious trash I could laugh at. I ended the season honestly loving it. Which is impressive for a show done on the cheap and rather blatantly designed first and foremost to sell CDs. I'm more ambivalent about G and GX. There's some stuff they did that I really like, and some stuff I could do without. Can't fairly offer an opinion on the rest yet.

    I think you're thinking of Chris's season one arc. That wasn't a sexual relationship, and I'd call it torture and brainwashing, not BDSM. Chris's whole backstory is all kinds of messed up. And then she got saved by someone punching an explosion to death, and now she lives with the good guys. Happy ending(except for the part where she's got boatloads of psychological baggage)

    I just finished that one recently. I'd been watching it when it was new, but fell out halfway through and never got back to it. Partially because life problems, but mostly because I wanted to punch Hibiki's dad and the screen was in the way. I'm mostly okay with how it turned out in the end.

    You're right, that's way better.

    And then the remnants of the Galaxy fleet folded in and forcibly annexed the 29 fleet. The end.

    I keep reading this and just thinking "Picard got an STD?"

    I've never met this girl, but I respect her and her dedication to the role/I hope she found her way back to her home time

    A. Yes, please. B. Macplass(or makuplasu if you're dealing with obnoxious anime fans that hate translated titles and official romanizations)
  20. JB0
    Aktually, yes.

    I think that's wider than the space alloted to Transformers in my Targets.

    Just that the mis-spelling bugs me a lot. Not that it is a racial slur or anything.
  23. JB0
    It bugs me a lot that they describe him as a "berserkar". If it is a pun, it is a bad one and should be "bersercar". If it is an error, it is an offensive one and they should learn to spellcheck.

    I've gotten in the habit of pasting into notepad, then copying from there to get a formatting-stripped version. Does ctrl-shift-insert work too? I'm one of the weirdos that uses shift-del for cut and shift-ins for paste.

    My favorite anime is... probably SDF Macross, actually.
