And Yep Justin, One Punch Man is going to be fucking awesome. Based Madhouse!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They'd be the only studio I would trust with that series, the manga art is too good for a small studio to do.

Hell yeah. Can't wait!

Who here's watched Wolf Children? It's kind of crazy how consistent Mamoru Hosoda has been with just hit after hit after hit. Dude's gonna reach god tier lvl if he keeps this up lol

by Lunacy Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:16 pm

I'm pretty sure everybody has already watched it. You're mega late to the scene.

Anyhow, it's a great movie, I loved it.

by LegendX48 Wed Mar 25, 2015 2:50 pm

I guess I would be mega late, always am >.>

Indeed, I'm surprised you missed out on the "hype" of it when it came out. When it came out in Japan, it was even shown in some theaters here in Los Angeles (with subtitles obviously).

by LegendX48 Wed Mar 25, 2015 3:32 pm

I didn't really hear about it until recently. I'm not in any anime news circles since I don't watch a whole lot, or keep up with it. That and even when I did hear about it I wasn't aware that it was a new movie from Mamoru Hosoda until like a month ago.

by Lunacy Wed Mar 25, 2015 3:36 pm

ahh, i see

I haven't watched it either. I keep on putting it on hold. I will watch it eventually though, it won a lot of awards (should have won a Academy Award, but the Academy barely ever recognizes animes unless it's by Miyazaki which is bullshit. Animes should win best animated picture almost every year, even Pixar doesn't match the shit that Japan puts out. All Disney stuff is targeted at children while animes target a wide scope of people and yet they're always overlooked by westerns unless it's Ghibli. Bullshit!).

I don't really pay attention to the academy awards so I wasn't aware. I wouldn't say Disney stuff is strictly targeted at children either though. All of Pixar's and WDAS' films target the same broad audiences as films like Wolf Children and such. Both of have their strictly child oriented moments but the films as a whole are geared toward everybody.

by Lunacy Wed Mar 25, 2015 7:50 pm

The academy awards are a joke anyway.

by Squirrel500 Wed Mar 25, 2015 9:13 pm

that's for sure, I'm surprised they even still nominate studio ghibli's films, I'm slightly surprised and not surprised at the same time that stuff like Wolf Children and Summer Wars never get nominated, hell I bet not even Akira made the cut back in the day

Just finished the last eps for Kiseijuu and Shinmai maou no testament.

Kiseijuu:

Testament:

Also, yesterday I finished Akatsuki no Yona and I really enjoyed it. I can't help but hope for a second season. Hak is best guy and I'm gonna start reading the manga for this.

by ColumbianLoom Wed Mar 25, 2015 11:22 pm

I more or less agree with you Luna

Haha, as I read those, I felt you echoes my feelings and thoughts on the them. Though as far as the asinine "numerical" score, you were more lenient/generous on all accounts by a factor of one (Testament-5, Parasyte-8, and Yona-8 from me).

Also, what's you're opinion on Jin (Basara's dad)? That last scene just made me wish that there was more on him...much more.

Haha ya, I was just one point above you for each one of them lol. I guess I just liked them just slightly better than you Wink

And I thought he seemed pretty kickass. He's Leori's VA so you know he's a good character from default! Hopefully in the second season we'll see more of him. I wonder if he'll over throw the Demon King all by himself?

by Lunacy Fri Mar 27, 2015 12:56 am

It seems like it, but going by our descriptions, seems we were in line as far as what we thought. Numerical core doesn't really matter in this case.

As for Jin:

Somewhat random question: But why does Fairy Tail have such dark filters over any scene with explosions or flashing light? It contrasts the color pallet used in the rest of the show and is quite an eyesore in my opinion. I have noticed the same effect used in other anime but not as pronounced as it is in Fairy Tail. I presume it has something to do with the "Pokemon Law" Japan set up to prevent PSE, but I don't have any conclusive proof of that right now.

by Lunacy Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:13 pm

I have no idea either.

by ColumbianLoom Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:41 pm

Man, 2015 is looking like it could be a year to remember for a while. So many huge shows coming out this year and Winter has already been quality. This could go down as my favorite year since I've started anime yet Surprised

(though my track record isn't too big but still!)

by Lunacy Fri Mar 27, 2015 2:02 pm

You say that all the time now. >_>

by Squirrel500 Mon Mar 30, 2015 9:22 pm
