Re: Cowboy Bebop

Yes, a lot of her music is plagiarized. It sucks, but its also old news at this point and I'm used to it. I can still appreciate and enjoy the music even though I don't have nearly as much respect for her as an artist as I did when I first heard her work. The DJ Food comparison at the linked page is...

Re: [SPLIT] Crunchyroll

It still sucks, especially that engineers were kept in the dark about it, which is really, really shitty of the parent company and still leaves me worried about the future of CR's other employees... but this followup post sheds some more light on the situation and dispels at least some of the feelin...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

Flip Flappers was really good throughout, and vastly exceeded my expectations going into it. The ending indeed wasn't as perfect as it could've been, but the show still accomplished a ton and tackled its themes well while being engaging and stylish as heck. The presentation and consistent use of sub...

Re: If Mari and Asuka are/were Gay. . .

What would be the point of this couple? Both in Ha and Q Asuka has been a secondary character heavily hinted as has a romance option for Shinji. We never had any hit of her (or Mari) being bi or lesbian. Mari herself seems to be aware of Asuka's feelings for Shinji and she tried to get them closer....

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

Crunchyroll and Funimation are great, and have made it easy and convenient to watch and discover tons of great shows while supporting their creators. There's no good reason why I, or anyone else who's capable of doing so, shouldn't be willing to pay a completely reasonable amount to support a good s...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions

Huh. So it was a controversial opinion. Who'd a thought. No. Will not be doing any soul searching. Pretty pleased with my soul overall. It's just a dumb face that has been so overused at this point that it's usage turns me off projects. It's trite now. I think I'll be okay never seeing a show that ...

Flip Flappers: "Say, if Trigger did Eva, what would it look like?" Well, now you know. Utterly glorious show. Everyone and their grandmother should watch it ASAP. (Yes, I know it's not a Trigger show. Not the point.) Agreed. Flip Flappers is flipping fantastic. Destined to become a new cu...

The little story it packed into its 6-minute length was seriously beautiful, and the animation and artwork are beyond gorgeous, too. Megumi Kouno is a hell of an animator. Incredible work from everyone who was inv...

Re: Shin Gojira (a.k.a. Godzilla Resurgence)

Saw it tonight with some coworkers. It was fun. Gendo'sPapa's interpretation makes sense to me, I think. We ended up stuck in the front row, so I had no hope of keeping up with enough of the onscreen job titles to get the joke there. Some of the messaging felt a bit on-the-nose in later parts of the...

Not a full movie, but a short preview of what they're currently planning.

Love Live Sunshine has been so ridiculously good I can't even believe it. The original was great fun too, but they've been nailing absolutely every aspect, including the stuff that the original series struggled with, like the serious drama elements. So much to love about this show. edit: The second ...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

Rin-ne / Kyokai no Rinne has been pleasant, casual viewing. The animation budget is clearly limited, but the characters and their interactions make up for it. I considered trying Rin-ne, but then I figured that having sat through the entirety of Ranma 1/2 was enough Rumiko Takahashi-related sufferi...
