Re: Celebrity RIP Thread
Powers Boothe at 68... https://i.giphy.com/qEBlgZpZWHihO.gif Was fantastic in Tombstone & pretty much single handedly made Sudden Death the best Die Hard rip off out there. Need to watch Deadwood & catch up on Agents of Shield which he was a major villain on. What?! Ohhh 'cmon. My early adu...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
I may need to see the 2017 movie one day but I never heard of the 1995 movie being lacking flow in its visual design.

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
I agree with you mostly but I am not sure that will ever happen considering that Toei/Toriyama/Toyotaro aren't really trying to portray Goku as a villain. I could be wrong consider how early into the arc that we are in but it would be a good opportunity to explore that aspect of Goku and his action ...

I see. I guess it makes sense as to why Anno is critical of otaku but I also wondered if he has calmed down over the years?

Re: Is Anno really that critical of otaku?
Anno is an otaku himself (check out Insufficient Direction by his wife Moyoco for an illustration of this), albeit one who has struggled with the notion of reconciling the otaku's reputation (as a disconnected recluse, etc.) with his own desire to be, well, better than that. I think most of the sup...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
Really? I thought that super Goku was just the same as always. We've just been getting more of a chance to see Goku in his normal life, rather than just fighting (he tends to be more serious when he fights). Then again, I've never really watched the dub, so I don't know how much they changed his ch...

Is Anno really that critical of otaku?
I read a very interesting article on Anno give up on otaku, how 2ch used Anno's own words agianst him and how Anno essentially 'gives up' on otaku . I know many things are said but few are ture and it is especailly true when it comes to Evangelion but does Anno really hate otaku as much as everyone...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
I a beginning to develop a sort of contempt for Goku in super where it seems like he is a parody of himself. I know Goku was never a Superman style hero but it seems like his cluelessness has risen to new levels in Super and it makes a lot more foolish than he actually is in the original series. I m...

Re: Does the Eva fanbase have "genwunners"/"GEEWUNNERS?"
I don't know if I am much of a GENWUNNER but I do admit that I have a special fondness for the anime series and I kind of want the series intact.

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
I only know him from Trigger? He seems straightforward to me. Directing series like Kill La Kill. It is just that his shows pour so much information that it makes brain hurt and I need to rewatch in order to 'get' it. Dead Leaves confuses me but I probably don't have a lot of life experience or nee...

Re: Celebrity RIP Thread
Well, now I know the name of the guy who created the dish I order about 95% of the time from Chinese restaurants. Also, the fact that the guy who invented the Big Mac also died last week at the SAME AGE is evidence that the End Times are upon us. Or just a fucked-up coincidence. You mean the guy wh...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
Almost all of Hiroyuki Imaishi's work actually confuses me even more than Evangelion and this is Evangelion we are talking about. This maybe a side effect of Evangelion being my first foray into Gainax but Imaishi seesm to enjoy employing psychological experiments and frantic animation to confuse an...

I once had a dream where I was in a scary disaster horror movie where we being attacked some strange monster and everyone died horrible deaths. I hadn't watched any horror movies as of late this month.

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
All Monogataris are good. Even Katanagatari. (Especially Katanagatari.) But seriously, even the weaker cycles have something to offer to the larger plot that Nisio Isin is weaving with the series. Kataanagatari is not apart of the Monogatari series and it is self contained. I love Monogatari, (yes,...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
Has Monogatari been localized? Heaven help those translators as Nisio Isin seems to really know how to manipulate the Japanese language.

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
Agreed. I seem to have a love/hate relationship with Monogatari. For one thing I love the visuals, dialogue and characters but I hate it for the same reason. I really wish that it wasn't just about talking about tropes being used and general circlejerking although I do a similar all the time.

Re:
I see no point in that. FLCL was pretty much a mess of allegories and metaphores. I don't think we need another one of those since it would be annoying repetition. I couldn't had said it better myself. Even when I first watched it on Adult Swim as a teen, I was confused and I had no idea what was g...

Re: Controversial Anime Opinions
It seems that you need to be a film and/or humanities major in order to understand Monogatari and Tatami Galaxy....and I am not either.
