I love Diebuster as much as I do Gunbuster. How does it ruin the end of the first story?

At the end of the first Gunbuster they return to Earth after thousands of years and the Earth lights up with "Welcome home" - but spelt slightly wrong (I think part of one of the characters is backwards). Because of this it could be said that they are coming back to such a different planet that Japanese is like an ancient language - one which they'd have to have researched like ancient runes to welcome their return. It leaves it up to our imaginations to think just how different the Earth must be all those years in the future...and then Diebuster 2 appeared and destroyed it by showing us.

On another note, I love the Wings of Honneamise but it's reeeeally slow.

Just watched the first ep of the new Mazinger Z series. WTF. The missus watched it with me and it melted her brain. I only kind of knew what was going on just because of familiarity with all the characters from previous serious. But seriously, WTF.

This is the cel I got from Ghibli today. Excuse the makeshift photography and added pixels due to using Notepad as a backlight.

The film in the theatre was Looking for a Home, the one with the girl who goes on a walk and gets to a run down old house, and leaves offerings of apples to things along the way. The packed theatre loved the human-made sound effects.

It's a stupid "highlights of whats to come" reel. Episode 2 onwards make more sense (but not by much :unsure: )

Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone, the May 27 remastering of the first film in Hideaki Anno and Khara's four-part theatrical remake of Gainax's Neon Genesis Evangelion television anime, sold 49,000 Blu-ray Discs in its first week in Japan. As a result, it became the next-generation disc format's #1 best-selling release so far. The previous record-holder for first-week sales was Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight film, which sold over 29,000 copies. Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone's DVD release sold an additional 10,359 copies in its first week.

The first DVD release of the Evangelion: 1.01 You Are (Not) Alone movie sold over 298,000 copies to be the #2 Japanese DVD released in 2008. (Evangelion: 1.01 sold more copies within the 2008 calendar year, but the Hana Yori Dango Final film sold more cumulative copies in 2008 and 2009.) Evangelion: 1.01 will make its Japanese television premiere on July 3, after the second film, Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance, opens in Japanese theaters on June 27. Funimation announced on New Year's Eve that it will release the first film in North America this year

Watch episodes 1-20 from the TV series followed by the director's cut of episodes 21-24. Next you have a choice between End of Evangelion or the half-finished mind-fuckery that is episodes 25 and 26. Each option covers the end of the story from a different perspective. I'd personally recommend watching End of Evangelion first. After that you can go back and watch 25 and 26 if you're interested in seeing the alternative viewpoint.

If that's not enough, you can start all over again with Evangelion 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone, the first of the four Rebuild of Evangelion films retelling the whole saga. Initially, the remake matches the original shot for shot but it begins to deviate as time passes. The second film is due out in Japan at the end of the month.

Edit: Make sure you watch the 1.11 version of You Are (Not) Alone. It adds a few extra scenes and the quality is far superior.

Or just watch the last two eps, then End of Eva right after :o

Thats the (not subbed) Blu-Ray. You mean 1.01 surely?

Maybe it's been fansubbed?

EDIT: oh wait, is that the one that's not out yet? It's too impossible to keep up with Evangelion.

For some reason or another I decided to yarr Cyber City and watch it again in Japanese, and compare it with my memory of watching the dubbed version about 15 years ago. The animation was somewhat ropier than I remembered (though mentally I still think that Akira was the best thing ever and everything I watched around that time gets compared to my rose-tinted memory of that and usually comes off badly) and the stories weren't exactly compelling, and yet they were still very entertaining. I wonder why Sengoku

didn't have an ex show up and then promptly die in his story like the other two

. :ph34r:

Madhouse also did Monster City, Wicked City and Ninja Scroll right? Apart from Ninja Scroll being one of the best animes ever, did Madhouse do anything else that I should have watched?

I saw a fansubbed version on tokyotosho a few days ago although admittedly I don't know if it's any good.

The torrent is the slowest piece of shit i've ever seen.

Maybe because it only has one completed seed who's not online.
