Victator Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 You know it says something for how stubborn Freeza is. That he keeps trying to get revived, since it only leads to him getting the ever loving shit beat out of him. I think I might welcome a comfy cocoon and flower garden.

J.H. Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Overlord II is so damn good so far, I mean hear I thought I'd be all about Aims preparing for war to conquer and instead I get this amazing story about the survival of the the Lizard Men. This is some really good storytelling James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Overlord has really good world building. My main interest in any type of isekai story is how deep they go with the world building elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First he goes to Earth with his dad thinking Namek was a fluke. Not unreasonable considering it took a lot to beat him. Resurrection F he decides to train for the first time ever and goes all out, only to have his stamina give out. This time he has tried using strategy and did well, until he pissed off a God Destruction candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Austin Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Holy crap DBS 126 Spoiler Even though it' now 4 on 1 the odds are still looking bad for them. And when Vegeta was doing that attack i was thinking the same thing Piccolo was. This series has me back to being a kid again and I love it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It looks like there is a very good chance my favorite light novel and manga series is about to get an anime produced announced soon. They already did a drama CD. This is the next step. Whatever happens, please just give it to a good studio who isn't going to half-ass it. It could be like Dark Souls in anime form.

J.H. Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 DBS 126 was fantastic if you're a Vegeta fan. 4 tourney episodes left so its just everyone v. Jiren which should fun, even if it is predictable James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I loved it. Can I say, hearing Goku scream out of concern for Freeza cracks me up. The final shot of this episode was actually spoiled by a Dragon Ball Heroes card. If anything this arc has really built up 17's cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Diving into anime much more than I have at any time over the past 15 years. Ordered quite a few series, went through my piles to see what i own but have never watched (quite a bit, as it turns out), and have been digging through review sites adding new-ish shows that look interesting. Finished up Gantz last night. It was.... interesting. I picked it up in 2004-ish when it was first released in the US but never watched it. It was pretty controversial back then, but seems less so now after shows like Elfen Lied have come along. I didn't mind the over-the-top violence and gore as it relates to the main story but there a large amount of nastiness that just adds nothing to the story. The throwaway gag with the dog who would always greet a female character by running up to her and burying his face in her crotch was offensive (she just happened to not be wearing pants every time she saw the dog). The main character is self-absorbed nearly to the point of being sociopathic. The few good characters tended to do things that undercut their good intentions (ex: Kato is opposed to shooting the aliens with guns, but not to whomping them senseless with his fists and bear-hugging them to death. That's a kinda inconsistent moral code there). Gantz looked good and was good at establishing characters, but the pace is sluggish (more time to rip guts out!) and is just nasty and unpleasant. I will be watching the CGI Netflix film, though. The animation looks great. Anyone want to recommend any newish (past few years) shows? Generally, I like mech shows and action-dramas like Ghost in the Shell, Monster, 91 Days, etc. Tend to dislike fighting shows like Inuyasha, Bleach. Yu Yu Hakushou, and avoid any time of anime comedy like the plague. Generally not going to make it through most shows that rely to heavily on comedy, googly faces, or harem/fan service, stuff. Shows I've liked include Rahxephon, Future Diaries, 91 Days, Witchhunter Robin, Le Chevalier D'Eon, Baccano, Duradura, Gurren Lagann, Garden of Words, etc. Also need to figure out where to watch some of the new-ish shows I've recently added to my list, shows that aren't available on DVD. I've heard of Crunchyroll but never used the site. Subscription site? What else is there? I'm familiar with fansubbing, but it's been so long I'm not sure where to even look and really would prefer to order DVDs as much as possible.

Unfortunately, the theatre near me that runs most Fathom shit isn't running this one, only a theatre that is 2 hours and 15 minutes by Metro on Sunday schedule. But it's cool that it's happening.

dogwelder Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Ugh... Recovery of an MMO Junkie Director Causes Controversy With Anti-Semitic Tweets And I really liked the series too.

J.H. Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 I might have to see if we can merge the Toku thread with the main anime thread because I really want to talk about Kamen Rider BUILD without having dredge up the main thread for toku. That being said, if 'you all aren't watching BUILD, now is the perfect time to catch up becauethis is shaping up to be a GOAT Rider series!

That is incredibly disappointing. Hopefully it has another director if it ever gets another season though somehow I doubt it since this doesn't seem like the type of thing that would anger Japanese fans.

Cliff Hanger Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Infinity was pretty boilerplate as far as the story goes, just a way to raise the stakes to insane levels and put the band back together, but it's gorgeous and has some really great fights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Between Toppo abandoning justice and the reveal of Jiren's motives, the Pride Troopers are beginning to look less than pristine. As much as I love the series, I am beginning to think a break is needed after this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogwelder Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Kokkoku is easily the best non-SOL show this cour. I'd have to say overall it's my second or third favorite. (Nothing beats Yuru Camp though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I made it to the Mazingar / Fathom Events dealie on Sunday at the Egyptian in Hanover, MD. Perfect shit weather for an afternoon at the cinema and it helped that the movie itself was fucking great and the 100 minute runtime will not try your patience.
