Cliff Hanger Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 If anyone cares, Amazon Prime Video added the uncut subbed versions of all 3 Robotech components (they already had Robotech, both the DVD remasters and unaltered 85 versions with eyecatches and everything).

Raziel Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm really getting tempted to go down the Robotech rabbithole with the remastered stuff, but I have such a backlog of shame sitting in my Hulu queue that I'm taking forever to get to.

Eivion Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 In news that makes me happy Toei has finally decided to start legal streaming of Dragon Ball Super. Should be popping up on Crunchyroll Friday. Its a bit disappointing they won't be upping everything at once, but ten episodes a week isn't so bad.

J.H. Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hopefully this Goku Black thng wraps up soon and we get a more interesting villain than generic "All Humans must die!" Zamasu James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Just finished the first season of Baka and Test, and I really enjoyed it. Not great, but a solid, enjoyable show. My only problem is it has that convention of whenever the Class F gets an amazing underdog win it's constantly reversed or taken away from them for comedic effect. Except I guess the one instance where they managed to figure out a workaround for that school scavenger hunt. But I like all the misfits of Class F and all their weird quirks. Not sure if the show is meant to be a biting satire of Japan's education system or not. If I have a favorite recurring gag it's the class rep asking Akihisa to go to the other classrooms to declare war, and how he always gets beaten up as expected, but the class rep always comes up with a lame explanation of how he can deliver the message without getting beaten up, but he still does. It always works. The teacher nicknamed Iron Man is also a riot. He's strict, but he seems to be a pretty fair dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 So apparently a new version of Animetal has launched called Animetal The Second. Eizo Sakamoto has nothing to do with it as far as I can tell. I canfind very little info on thme save for the fact they have 2 albums out already So apparently there is a new version of Animetal called Animetal The Second out there. I can't find much info on them. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 and the preview for DBS 66 confirms exactly what everyone predicted months ago... Spoiler Fused Zamasu v. Super Saiyan Blue Vegito Guessing this wraps up in the next 2-3 episodes but have no idea where it goes from here James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Has anything in Dragon Ball ever wrapped up in 2-3 episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Actually the nice thing about DBS is that they've kept the arcs very tight, usually around 12-14 episodes or less (though the Goku Black story has been the longest arc to date and will probably clock closer to 20 episodes but it really isn't "Drag-on Ball" anymore) James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 My only experience with Dragon Ball is watching the original show on Toonami back in the day. "Draggin'-ball" is certainly an apt nickname, from what I can remember. Do I remember right that the fight with the giant baby lasted two seasons, or is that just how many years of my life it seemed to suck away?

J.H. Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 The giant baby? I can only assume you mean Majin Buu. That arc lasted about 100 episodes. James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I went back and rewatched DBZ in its entirety a couple years ago, man alive that was a fucking slog to get through some times. I know watching DBZ Kai is easier to get through clocking in at 159 episodes instead of the 291 that the Original Run had. I might have to get my Crunchyroll back to watch Super now that it's there, and I don't think Super is hitting Hulu anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Dubbed Ranma on Hulu is turning out to be best ever anime comfort food. Super young Canadian actors who would go on to be the backbone not only of Viz's dubs but a lot of my favorite US cartoons (X-Men Evo, various Transformers shows) for over a decade, married to the ultimate in disposable candy anime.

Raziel Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 So, since Amazon has the original Macross series subbed (not Roboteched) and I'm finally getting around to watching it, is there anywhere easy to watch the other series that came after (I think I have Macross II the Movie on DVD lying around already)?

J.H. Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 I have never had a problem with Toriyama's wrap-ups in the past but after Goku won the Tenkai Ichi Budokai it just seems like Toriyama is having to leave back doors available in case he would decide to continue the manga (which he always did because... well... its hard to walk away from all that $$$ on te table). Ending aside, Shin Mirai trunks/Goku Black was probably the best DB story since the original Freeza arc James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything but the original series, Macross II and Macross Plus is tied up in legal pretzels so tight that Nefarious Means will be the ONLY means for the rest of our lives. The movie versions of those series were on Hulu for years but left this summer. The individual episodes can be purchased on Amazon Instant; $6 for Mac+ (4 eps) and $10 for MacII (6 eps). ETA: Also, it's really weird that the subbed version of SDF Macross on Prime is missing OP and ED, but Southern Cross and MOSPEADA have theirs.
