Cliff Hanger Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I am definitely in for all of Star Blazers 2199 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 OK, while I was definitely annoyed with Black Clover starting a mini-filler arc so quickly, it did at least offer some character building for Yuno and his teammates. So the transition for his snobby CO I guess is a bit more developed. But again, I wasn't really feeling any of the complaints for the show until about the episode 12-13 mark. Also Yuno's priest is a cheapskate. Buy your orphans some real freaking food other than potatoes. Don't tell me they don't have a market in town or something. Get them some fruit and vegetables. Your Magic Knight kids are sending you money for this very reason. Ye gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Watching a little Lupin III Part 4 on VRV tonight; I had it dubbed because I'm moving around the apartment a lot and can't really watch something subbed. I'm honestly surprised that Funimation were willing to shell out for the Pioneer/Adult Swim cast; I remember hating Tony Oliver as Lupin in the first several episodes but feeling like he grew into the role pretty well by the end. And Richard Epcar and Michelle Ruff were pretty great as Jigen and Fujiko from even earlier on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I am thinking of doing a deep dive of something old old school for the website next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Old old school? HiDive has all of Gatchman first series unless you want to go back farther (of course I'm going to say Gatchaman) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Yeah, my first instinct is Gatchaman or Yamato. I doubt I would go back all the way back to Astro Boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 But then again, as mentioned earlier IDEON is on HiDive too James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 HIDIVE also has Xabungle in case Ideon is too depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere eventually lost me for its generally incoherent plot and overall weirdness. On season 2 of Medaka Box, and it's getting really close to the same. The people who think Rey in Star Wars is a Mary Sue would probably have their minds blown by their show. Not that I think either girl is a Mary Sue. I will say I generally find Medaka pulling some new ability out of her rear every episode to be rather humorous. For whoever is looking for an oldschool show, the original Fist of the North TV series is worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogwelder Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Amazon shut down Anime Strike after a year, and they've moved all of their anime offerings to regular Prime Video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 There's no easy way to search for that sort of thing on Prime. What do they have on there worth seeing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah having a separate anime subscription that wasn't part of Amazon Prime was flipping stupid. It'd be sort of like Netflix having a separate anime tier for its exclusive anime content, of which it has quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I was wondering if Strike was dead. I'm kind of happy to hear that. It was always a moronic move even if they had the money to burn. It does explains now why Sentai announced everything they had this season for HIDive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the easiest way would be to look for the TV Genres section and choose Animation on the main Prime Video screen. Stuff from this past year: Made In Abyss, Inuyashiki, Re:Creators, Girls' Last Tour, Altair: A Record of Battles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well the Winter Season has started and I'm being selective about what I watch (I don't have te time to try and watch everything) this being said, I want to like Gran Crest Senki but its a case of I like the story but the animation s kinda meh. I keep at it for at least 3 more episodesthough Jamesi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Honestly the story bothered me more than the animation. Its like everything there was a decent idea in theory, but the actual execution was lacking. Everything just seemed to lack impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Yeah, there was a certain lack of gravitas given how the show opened. I'm willing to give anything by Mizuno a shot though. Bt he characer designs and animatio nshould be better, it just looks... generic? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogwelder Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Of the 6 shows of the new season that I've watched, Grancrest Senki is solidly in the middle. It's still better than Toji no Miko and Slow Start, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 See I liked Toji No Miko better than Gran Crest mainly because I want to see where it goes (decent character designs for the shw it is, I think Gran Crest disappointed me because I was expecting at least high production value BUT not everything by Mizuno gets a Lodoss level budget and this isn't the 90s OVA market). But, these are first episodes and I'm willing ot see both unfold I'm about to watch Slow Start now, I'm hoping it has the same vibe as Hyakko, which I felt was really underrated because to many people crapped on it as a Azumanga Daioh clone (which, I get but the characters were very different).

Eivion Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Always thought Hyakko was fun. Never really thought of it as an Azumanga Daioh clone, but I also haven't seen either in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Whew tonight's Super had some bad animation. Not as bad as episode 5 or the Freeza arc, but pretty bad. Pretty cool otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad the manga has been hiatus for 5 years, the odds of more anime are pretty much zero if the creator isn't putting anything out. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Ha. I did not remember the Yamato had “a Hologram Room.” Take that, Reg Barkley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
