Self explanatory. What have you been watching, /ar/? Pic related is from the 1988 adaption of Starship Troopers. I've also been watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes Gaiden and Armored Trooper VOTOMS, both of which are very good.

Right now I'm watching Captain Harlock (1979), Samurai Flamenco (not wap), Gundam X, and Ideon with friends.

Only a little bit into Captain Harlock, so mostly I'm just impressed with how stylish it all is. I sing along with the theme song every time.

I'm enjoying Gundam way more than I thought I would. Yes, it loses some of the post-apocalyptic feel after the first couple of episodes and it feels like the world has stabilized on a bit higher of a standard of living than I think is entirely reasonable, but it feels very…refreshing, for lack of a better word. Garrod openly likes Tiffa and is willing to say so, and she clearly returns his affections, which puts them both above 95% of anime couples at the get-go. Newtypes feel less like space magic and more mysterious, like in 0079 (yes I know about DOME, I played Alpha Gaiden, but I'm trying to take the show as its own thing) The adults feel like adults, and the kids are plausible kids that were forced to grow up fast. It's just feels low-bullshit.

Ideon is incredibly Tomino. This is both a good and a bad thing, but mostly good for me. Kitty Kitten :(

I've been having fun with Appleseed recently.
I wouldn't call it great, because I don't think it is a great work of sci-fi, beyond the artwork, but I will call it very good. There are too many issues with the writing to be great. But there's more than enough there to be very good.
I think it does count as the first real 'solarpunk' work, however. So it did innovate in that lens.
Otherwise it is very close to Otomo's work.

I am the BIGGEST ToriyamaFRIEND here probably, and my preferred method of viewing is in Japanese with the broadcast audio, though I have a slight nostalgia for the original ocean dub- specifically, this DVD that was packaged in boxes of Kraft Dinner in Canada that recapped the first two arcs of Dragon Ball Z.
I also do have a deeper soft spot for those shitty DVD singles Funimation did (not the bricks) and have slowly been building a collection of them starting from Dragon Ball.
Really funny thing about them is that Funimation could not legally publish the Dragon Ball Volume 1 'Saga of Son Goku' DVD in the west, so they just started from volume 2. You can get volume 1 but only from Australia (which means it's retardedly rare).

 No.3190

For Dragon Ball Z I've been checking out Dragon Ball Z Jartcut, that tries to remove as much filler as possible. So far I've only watched the Saiyan saga, I'd say it's pretty alright although I admit that some padding during the training for the saiyans would have been good, as it is it feels very fast (mostly an issue in the manga too).
From what I heard they were going to update it when the Seed Of Might Color Correction is released, using it as base.

I own the two Ocean dub DVDs of Dragonball (Not Z) that are the first 13 episodes and the first movie, those are technically part 2 even if not labeled as because they didn't redub it till TV airings.

 No.3216

>>3215
Yeah, that one isn't hard to find because it got super overproduced. I haven't really considered nabbing it for my collection just because I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Right now I'm just waiting for a Saga of Son Goku DVD to pop up (and a "Red Ribbon Army Saga" DVD since those have vanished into the ether).

What I'm more excited to start collecting are the later DVD Box Sets- love how clean a lot of these sets were where you get Volume 1 of a "saga" and then fill it up with the other volumes. GT especially has four slick box sets that are probably the best thing about the show.

I'm really liking this OVA. The art and direction are good and you can see them experimenting with the editing. All the characters are nicely designed. Key herself is robotic but doesn't feel like a rigid cookie cutter anime character, she's stiff and aloof, a bit jerky and autistic, but still feels like a person. Story wise, there's a lot to digest here, migration from a rural village to the anonymous and noisy city, the struggle to find your place in the world, desire to be human, danger of weapons, conflict between what Key wants (to be a real girl and have friends) and what the corpos want.

One thing that really sticks out in a lot of anime are human-like relationships with non-human robots. Bots can be friends, they can have feelings that should be respected, they can be cared for. Compare that to American pop culture where robots are almost always associated with danger and fear or enslavement (e.g. Terminator, Ex Machina). I knew an anthropologist who said the difference is the influence of 'animism' in Japanese society? Whatever the reason, I really like this and I'm happy shows like this exist.

I love both, though the OVA is my favorite, the way episode 2 plays on Miyu's difficulties with her destiny and her human emotions is really well done. The storyboarding and drawing quality is immaculate in all four episodes, and I love how it keeps Miyu mysterious but endearing at the same time.

Miyu has a message for you all.

give one get one.

I start: Outlanders (16.12.1986), great trashy fun on a saturday evening.
back of the box blurb:
>Scantily clad space princess Kalm arrives on Earth to shake things up! As her father’s armada pummels the Earth’s forces this busty space maiden plunders the planet in search of a good man to call her own. Hapless Earthling Tetsuya finds himself caught between the alien invaders and the warrior woman who would be his wife!

Today I watched a movie called metamorphosis/wings of change that apparently also had quite a bit of American involvement (and I mean apparently this movie had some American animators involved including Virgil Ross of looney tunes fame best known for designing bugs bunny), another animator on the Japanese side of things is maya matsuyama who also did other Sanrio works and later was an animator on Pokémon! TFW I just learned that an animator for Golden age looney tunes and an animator for 90s Pokémon worked on the same project. Crazy stuff

You awakened some ancient memory in me. I forgot I had ever watched the 2005 show. I can't recall a single episode I watched, and I don't think I watched a lot to begin with, but kid me was obsessed. I would make other "doraemons" in my mind and such. Perhaps I should pick this series up for real some time. Though it seems to have ended in the 90's, so I wonder how the reboot (or whatever the 2005 show is) would compare to it.

good evening (nearly non-existing readers)
i welcome you to another round of dumping.
this time we will go hardcore and look at a artbook from the semi-legendary BIBLE BLACK.

i know it's somehow just another drop in the sea of hentai but since it got me hard (made me hard as well) back in the day here we go.

since this board is somehow quite deserted (is there an irce ? if there is, please tell me. anyway, #nightline @ irc.rizon.net is where i dwell… another non-user dead channel but if you seek some talk, come on).

yeah, we go sexy tonight. i will keep the hc out but there will be some tits and all. enjoy. or not. tell me.
