Anime Club At School

[Ishimaru]

Sorry for so much delay here school has realy been tied up the past 3 weeks, ecxuse me please this realy cuts my time into Macross now . I hope you guys are right I want to show M+ OVA on the outside meetings since the ones at lunch are only 45 mins and it takes 15 mins for the retarded kids with no life to shut up . M+ should do the trick if not they are complete losers to think a 1994 with that kind of animation sucks(It doesnt suck) I swear I wish I can just take charge of the damn club and screw them all . Anyways if I showed DRYL alot of people would get pissed without getting the story and scream at me if the club turns out bad before the end of the year I'm quiting it since what kind of Anime club is it if they dont show old school anime ?

It wouldn't be an anime club if they didn't sho oldschool anime. It would be a crap club filled with no-taste drooling massed-produced morons.

If they would get pissed at you for DYRL, screw them. They're hopeless.

[trueblueeyes]

You kids are just lucky you have a chance to watch anime in school at all. I can still remember when we first got computers and the window unit AC's were replaced with central air...and of course there was the walking five miles through the snow, uphill both ways. Seriously though, I was in college before I saw my first real anime (not including RT, BOTP, etc) . Expensive tapes passed around and watched in dorm lobbies...good times.

I would like to recommend any giant anime robot series created by: Go Nagai... especially any of the Getter Robo or Mazinger series... put in some DevilMan and DevilLady into the mix.

You can't beat "high yelling, over dramactic, voice over action" whether it be original Japanese or English dubbed dialogue.

Umm that does not think what I think it means ....

Well anyways we had another meeting today and we watched Samurai 7 and the bad part is that it was a free DVD from Funimation with 3 episodes...These people are either desperate or freeloaders , anyways I did become Forum Designer on the forums I'm at standby for the Naruto Skin all those losers want *sigh*. Ya guys dare me to redirect a link here, they will cry soo hardddd but I dont want to mean up to you guys. I'm then making a Macross Skin after the Naruto skin but Im on delay since I'm like the only kid at school that has Photoshop and everyone keeps begging me to lend them the CD, I let a friend borrow it for 2 days and I'm still waiting for it its been a week !!! Anyways I'm starting to think the President of the club got no taste or something since everyone is into new anime, should I also redirect the "Why I hate new anime" thread to them? Sorry for being evil guys I just cant help it, any thoughts?

[Stamen0083]

So what if they're into new anime? It's not like all new anime is bad. I'm sick of all of you bashing on new anime just because it's new. Besides, for fart's sake, most old anime both suck and is drawn crappily.

It's not that all new anime is bad. It's that the morons in Dean's club refuse to even try to watch any older anime. When you restrict yourself to only the new, you avoid classics. It's like watching only the newest movies and skipping older good movies.

Gankutsuo is a new anime I like. I like Azumanga Daioh. I like Macross Zero.

Yes there's a lot of bad old anime that's got crappy animation. Some of us are bitching about how flat and cheap looking some new animation is. Too many bright inappropriate colors in some cases. Or too much bad cg mixed into the animation.

I keep my eyes open for new good stuff. But I'm not going to watch crap like Naruto.

[Father Jack]

I like alot of the new stuff coming out (I even thing naruto is ok), But I just don't like it when people rag on the old stuff without giving it a chance. Same with the new stuff. There are some great series that have been released in the past few years (Gankutso, Kino's Journey, Haibane Renme to name a few.) I don't like it when people rag on the all the new stuff either thinking there are no good plots out there anymore or whatever (Thats what I usually watch for is the plot, animation quality is second for me.) So it's not that I prefer either its just that I don't like the people who won't give it a chance for whatever reason. However there seem to be more people who won't give the older stuff a chance (at least that is my perception) when there are some great old films out there.

It's like the people who refuse to watch old black and white movies just because they are black and white.

[Stamen0083]

The impression I've gotten here is that lots of people won't give new stuff a chance either. Check the other "I hate new anime" thread.

Also true, but thats more the feeling I get from this specific board. By and large the other anime fans I've met are only willing to give a series a chance if it was made in the late 90's to present.

of course this is just based on the people I've met.

No, we hate new anime because it sucks.

Here's my issue: There's lots of old anime that are awesome, but no new anime that are awesome. That's the difference. Sure, some old anime sucked. But some old anime was awesome too. Now, anime is either crap or barely passable -- none of it is awesome.

I gave new anime a chance. I watched a ton of it, and was confused that I hated it all. Only after I watched an old anime and loved it did I realize the pattern. Didn't you read the first post in that thread?

[Stamen0083]

Yeah. I read the first post. All I got was new anime hating elitism.

Of course, it also comes down to what genre of anime to watch. If you focus exclusively on mecha anime, you don't get all that much. However, things like Azumanga Daioh and Keroro Gunso is anything but terrible. But if super robots with breast missiles are your thing, then maybe you're right after all.

Until Macross Zero came along. I like my Valkyrie to not look like the Yamato squished toy, thank you very much.

[Father Jack]

none of it is awesome.

Gankutso and Last Exile were awesome.

Last Exile looks like "Precious Moment" figurines turned into anime characters. With designs like that I'd be hard pressed to like it even if the story and characters were wonderful (which is not something I've seen in modern anime).

Gankutso is positively obscure. Did you spell it right? I can't find any sites about it.

Gankutsuo.

Anime adaptation of The Count of Monté Christo.

God the French narration at the beginning of each episode is so horrible. I couldn't help cracking up laughing when I heard it.

What's wrong with elitism? What do you want instead? Anime socialism? Anime communism? Anime anarchism? I don't get what's with the hatred of elitism. Would you rather have an anarcho-syndichalystic commune?

Ooooh, look some lovely mud...

[Father Jack]

I can kind of see it in the series artwork, but the animation itself doesn't really look like that. I would say that the plot and the characters were great. Also the setting is just beautiful.

Gankutso is positively obscure. Did you spell it right? I can't find any sites about it.

I could be spelling it wrong, it also goes by the Count of Monte Cristo (as it is a sci fi retelling of it) Try looking for it on the ANN Encyclopedia under the count of monte cristo.

sumdumbgai beat me to part of it.

Havent been back in a while guys school is tieing me up *sigh*. We had more meetings and all we watched was Chrono Crusade..Why cant anyone listen to me at the club I feel like such a loner nobody likes old anime. Do ya think if I brought Macross Flashback will they understand, all Id probaly get is "I dont get it" "Thats weird" my personal favorite "What is that mecha" "That makes no sense" those are some I hear and some off the top of my head. No one answered if I should redirect a link to "I hate new anime thread" at thier forums? *sigh*

Flashback 2012 is the LAST thing you want to bring.

It's got absolutely NO merit to people that don't have any existing relation with the Macross franchise.

...

Well, I suppose it's possible they'll enjoy it jsut because it's japanese, but...

[Ishimaru]

I ment the singing part of flashback, it will show them how good Mari Ijima is and how old anime is inspiring? <----- Worst reason ever....

[Father Jack]

yeah they aint going to like that. Chrono Crusade wasn't too bad of a show though. Although I only saw up to about episode 10. Unless it really started to suck after that.

[Ishimaru]

Yeah it was fine. I hope they can at least learn what Macross is and for once understand it...

[Ishimaru]

Bump Im back guys its been a while and it feels good to be back, anyways the club is having a Fan art/cosplay contest. I was thinking of doing Fanart since I got dont want to walk around school like its Haloween before Xmas. Anyways their are lots of kids entering the fan art since most are noobies some are real real talented and I wanted to draw something good. Any ideas I realy want to win a contest(for once in my life) please help me out with some with some ideas to win it anything anime or anime related is the category. And wow I leave this place it never changes .

[Sumdumgai]

Draw a valkyrie. There's plenty of resources available so you can see how to draw any number of the different VFs out there.

If you have some drawing skill, do a portrait of a character you like. Getting proportions right are difficult I find. Hands and feet are extremely difficult to draw. Practice copying an illustration of a character by eyeing the illustration (not tracing). Then do your drawing. I recommend practice copying some characters from a manga you like.

Or, alternatively... Pick up a manga by Utatane Hiroyuki or Urushihara Satoshi, practice emulating his style, then draw a big boobied bouncy girl like Mai Shiranui.

[Ishimaru]

That sounds like a good idea, I want to pick the VF-4 the Flashback version: maybe a poplular scene from DYRL or the YF-21 showing off its special brain abilities in M+(How do I draw that??). And maybe a made up pilot I can have up to two sumbissions so...I need more ideas (No offense)! And just to tell ya my drawing skills are ok not great I need to draw something that may not be talented as someone elses drawings but in terms on how it looks and inspiration its better.

Draw Roy Focker Standing triumphantly over a severely beaten robot clone of Abe Lincoln whom he has just bested in a drunken boxing match.

[Sumdumgai]

From your avatar Dean, I take it you like Cloud. Draw him in a cool pose with his sword. FFVII counts because of that OVA that the name escapes me.

Heh that sounds like a real good idea Father Jack, now how to draw the robot. How should draw Roy over Abe and still get a good picture? And what costume should Roy be wearing what about the backround, I got ideas in my head but I dont think they are good enough.

Good idea my man, now what would be a good should I place him in (In FFVII World). I was thinking of something to do with Aerith and him but I dunno something aint coming out right.

I'll make these my entries one very funny and one very...I dunno .

Use Valkyrie Girls to stand next to Roy.

[Ishimaru]

Like the one at the main page of Unspacey.de?

[Father Jack]

Yeah do that, and have him wearing his uniform, but ripped ala Captain Kirk.

Robo Lincoln is up to you but the perspective should show Roy towering like a god over his vanquished foe.

(I did suggest this as a joke, but if you did it I bet it would be pretty funny. Neat picture of cloud would probably be easier and better recived though.)

Sorry to butt in on the thread like a 2-bit wannabe(just don't get e'nuff MacWld in my diet; hair & teeth beginning to fall out... ). I miss yuz guys banter(1st login in 1 mo.!!!)

After reading your depiction of Roy beating down Robo-Lincoln, I couldn't help but visualize it a step(frame) further...

"...As Roy kneels down to grab him by the shirt collar/neck and deliver the coup de grace, mortally wounded Abe reaches around w/his gunpod & empties it into Roy's back.

Roy's face takes on a quizzical expression and he collapses on Abe, drooling blood"

[emajnthis]

you should have A1 join you at an anime meeting, and if anyone so much as squeaks about watching new anime they will get massively crushed in an awesome display of back breaking power.
