JohnC Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I just had a look at the potato chip scene. I really didn't remember it being that dramatic Link to post Share on other sites
Snowman Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I've just crossed another film off my list of anime to catch up on. This time, it was 009 Re:Cyborg.I don't think it's very good. In fact, I think it's pretty terrible, mostly due to the way the film ends. The general premise is that there's some kind of global conspiracy and that the good guys are trying to stop the bad guys. That's all fine.Come the finale... ...the whole conspiracy / good guys / bad guys thing is at best partially resolved and at worst entirely ignored. Instead, the film's grand conclusion (and revelation) is basically that God exists. That's it. The end. It's quite a lot like watching the Eva TV series without End of Evangelion.

Meh Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I don't know why anyone would watch something that looks so far up its own arse, it makes GitS: Innocence look light-hearted and full of joy. At least, that's the impression I've gotten from everything I've seen of it. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowman Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The impression I got was that it would be an action movie with a dose of mystery and intrigue, which is exactly what it was until it shit the bed towards the end. I know Kenji Kamiyama likes to get wordy and philosophical at times but even so, I expected better. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Oh my. How about a Nausicaä sequel by Anno? Anno wants to do it. Miyazaki doesn't want to do it himself but he is fine with Anno doing it. Link to post Share on other sites
Dandy_Sephy Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What is with those two Link to post Share on other sites
Comrade Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wonder which character he'll get to spunk over Nausicaa while she's in a coma. EDIT: Actually he should have an Ohmu do it. It would add an element of danger because she could drown. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperBrother Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Up to episode 40 of naruto now, it's starting to get very good! Link to post Share on other sites
Snowman Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 What is with those two Miyazaki hates everything. Anno hates himself. Perhaps they're able to come to some sort of understanding. Link to post Share on other sites
Retroid Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Been watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, no knowlege prior and I'm still enjoying it... It's very odd for a series of 2012, as in it's very much like Fist of the North Star or Berserk in it's wooden, retro dialogue and actoin. I think it's a plus in a way, I'm assuming it's because it's directly copying the manga, half way through I'm sure there's a definite leap the "age" of the writing - feels like a decade has passed between the writing of the 2 halves. It's good! The characters in the second half are more interesting too and the action is retro - but not quite as over-the-top as FotNS which is a shame. Link to post Share on other sites
Shotski Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well JoJo part 1 is a shameless FotnS rip off its cheesy, wooden but its still extremely enjoyable. Part 2 is much better and will only get more over the top as it continues. Link to post Share on other sites
LaParka Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 JoJo is amazing. EVERYONE SHOUTS ALL THE TIME!! edit: And the music, the way the anime synched into a different part of the Yes track each time was pretty nifty Link to post Share on other sites

Snowman Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Trailer for GitS Arise episode 2: The Space Dandy trailer I was going to post has been made private so I'll have to make do with this one:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkh9y07gECoLooks pretty fucking great. Space Dandy is... a dandy guy in the space. Also, BooBies so Meh is definitely on board. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 SLA have announced what's on in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Glasgow - October 11th – 13th, Glasgow Film Theatre Place Promised in Our Early Days Life of Budori Guskou Hunter x Hunter - Phantom Rouge Patema Inverted MYSTERY FILM Fuse Perfect Blue Eva 3.0 Guest - Jonathan Clements Edinburgh - October 14th – 20th, Edinburgh Filmhouse Hal + MYSTERY OVA Steins;Gate Movie Aura Garden of Words + discussion with Makoto Shinkai Life of Budori Guskou Patema Inverted MYSTERY FILM Fuse Eva 1.0 Eva 2.0 Eva 3.0 Guests - Jonathan Clements and Makoto Shinkai Patema Inverted sounds a bit barmy Link to post Share on other sites
Meh Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Also, BooBies so Meh is definitely on board. I'm deeply offended that you think I'd be so shallow as to watch a show just because it's got tits in it, Snowman. It needs a solid plot, too, like Popotan. Link to post Share on other sites
mr_woo Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 When you have films as nuanced and full of intrigue like Bible Black it has its work cut out for it. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Jeff Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Patema Inverted sounds a bit barmy Fargal linked the trailer a few pages back and they've released some short clips from what's probably the start of the film. The idea's a bit unusual but the characters are fairly standard as far as that goes. It'll be interested to see what they do with it. Don't know if I can manage an Eva film triple bill and not want to kill myself though. Link to post Share on other sites
