I really need to continue watching the Pierrot magical girl series. I watched Creamy Mami but didn't feel like moving onto Persia right away. I had a hell of a time even finding every episode subbed.

I recently realized that I love Takahashi Rumiko's style.

I was raving about the new Urusei Yatsura's first OP to my friend, because even without knowing anything about the show you can just TELL how much care and love went into that sequence. I grew up on Inuyasha and I didn't realize until now that they're from the same creator - so now I wanna see what I'm missing out on.

My question to you based oldfrens is, do you think any of the remakes for Ranma or Urusei Yatsura worth watching over the originals?

Maybe this is the wrong place to ask, but if I'll find anyone who might have watched both, it's here. I want to give them the best chance I can without committing to both old and new versions.

Both can be enjoyed equally but don't let remake culture make you disregard the original completely.

 No.4042

originals have better openings, better insert songs, better endings, better synergy with the original manga, more memorable va performances and have better fan service. the new ones arent bad but feel kinda sterilized? still better than most modern anime though.

Also, there's a certain charm to how old anime solved problems like their utilization of limited animation. Though the more elaborate movie quality animation like Akira and Princess Mononoke is really impressive

 No.3925

Directors like Osamu Dezaki used smart directing and good storyboards to make the anime more engaging, and animators like yoshinori Kanada used the limited amount of frames to make his animation more energetic

Depending on what you watch I can see this. Digital anime has led to a lot of laziness. But at the same time anime that used cels were a lot more limited in what they were able to do in terms of art style. You wouldn't get something like FLCL or Shaft stuff using cels. The digital workflow allows a lot more experimentation and variation in art style because they're not working with physical cels but instead layers on a computer that can be messed with more without any permanent, physical consequences.

There is merit in the idea that limitations breed creativity though.

I just like anime in general. Drawing lines in the sand like that never sat right with me.

Also this kind of argument doesn't sit right with me either. You can very easily counterpick examples. Girls und Panzer references war films from around the world while Nadesico is entirely informed by Yamato and Getter Robo.

Slayers Excellent is a 3-episode OVA, each of the episodes is 30 minutes long. Afterwards, we're also going to be watching Rubber's Lover, a cyberpunk horror film from 1996, directed by Shozin Fukui.

What makes anime girls with cat ears any better than girls that happen to be cats?

They follow the same archetypes and look adorable. The only difference is that one of them is covered in fur. But, does that really mean anything in the grand scheme of things?

What's your preferred way to watch Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z? I saw some fan edits online that looked interesting.

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.

>>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 wish there was a version with the falconer soundtrack but japanese voiceover. The japanese music gets old fast, with the exception of the rare special track.

Never really got the feeling that Criterion cares that much about animation in general.

>>3568
Arguably Oshii's masterpiece. It's visually engaging and experimental in a good way. One of the interesting things about animation as a medium is that the creators are free to take it in any direction they want. Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! gives you a stage play where the camera/viewer can be placed anywhere, and no special effect is out of reach. Plus, on top of that it's genuinely really funny. Tie it all together with animation from some of the best animators of the time (hashimoto, ohira, iso, ect.), and you have one fantastic OVA.

That is correct. They're kind of snobby and high brow and seem to think that animation is beneath them, or not part of their purview. They did release that Akira Laserdisc in the 90s, but that was before Akira had any good home releases that weren't just cropped VHS tapes.

You could make the case that there's a lot of overlooked and ignored Soviet, European, and Japanese, animation and some need restoration and care. They would have be high brow to fit the Criterion brand though.

I definely think we need a criterion for anime though.

>I definitely think we need a criterion for anime though.
It would be nice. Feels like studios have rather random output with HD masters for their older anime. You might get one that's very well done and then another not long after that seemingly uses an older, worse mastering process. If Criterion were to remaster an anime you'd need something artsy, important, and I suppose something with no HD transfer or one done very poorly.The hardest part would be to decide which anime are the most culturally significant or important. For me, the one that leaps to mind instantly is the End of Evangelion. The TV show had an over all fantastic HD transfer sans episode 16, but the movie's transfer looks like an abortion. I feel that lots of films made during the transition to CG effects and digipaint suffer from this. While not entirely pre 2000s, Satoshi Kon's films are all perfect candidates. I did see that Perfect Blue was supposedly getting a new and better remaster, but the previews I saw did not impress me.
