I’m not giving Sony any more money. Crunchyroll already sold and leaked my data illegally like 4 times. No more.

Dang, he played Minos in Heaven’s Lost Property, too.

Rip to a legend.

Those aren’t goblins. Those are smurfs.

I have a feeling this one might not be as good as the older series. Seems to be a trend with recent remakes or mew asditions to classic series.

Except GitS, which I think is a unique exception.

“Yes.”

Bubblegum Crisis (DO NOT start with Tokyo 2040, start with the original OVA first, it has better aesthetics and art) is always a recommendation from me. Along with the related series Bubblegum Crash, AD Police Files, Parasite Dolls, and A.D. Police.

Armitage III has a cyberpunk aesthetic but on Mars, the story isn’t perfect but it’s interesting enough. The original, not the movie with Kiefer Sutherland which is just the OVAs cut down into a movie.

Dominion Tank Police was a fun series.

Goku Midnight Eye is all attitude and little substance. I really liked it, but don’t watch it expecting an intricate plot. Its just entertainment, not more. But its cool entertainment.

Cyber City Oedo 808 is another one that isnt that deep but oozes pure classic cyberpunkium.

They intentionally wanted to make the shot-for-shot remake fail so they can point at it “still failing” and continue to ruin more remakes.

I think people severely underestimate the freak of the average healthcare worker.

I’ll check out his channel, maybe I will find something I don’t know about yet lol.

I don’t really collect them, just picked them up over the years for viewing and held onto them ever since. Same with all my VHS tapes and DVDs. It’s not really for any sort of “preservation effort” per se, as there are already really clean digital copies of what I have available online and even on streaming platforms in some cases, just that I bought them and used them like any other normal person does. Hopefully they still work after I die, maybe the next generation will have interest to use them (and not just hoard them to sell at auction after being graded at some corrupt auction house like Heritage).

I have to be honest chief, I have no idea who that is.

For context, I own a LaserDisc Player, and a good amount of anime OVA LDs.

Ex Arm is pretty bad, but I am fairly certain it has more total animation frames. Honestly, why even waste the time with so many frames? Twinkle Nora Rock Me! proved peak didnt need all those extra frames, its just waiting for the cult classic revival it deserves.

… Any day now…

there is no universal peak thing.

Say you haven’t watched Twinkle Nora Rock Me without saying you haven’t watched Twinkle Nora Rock Me, fake fan.

At first glance I thought this was a reference to Armitage III and had to do a double take.

Since GKIDS is an American company formed in 2008, your have to consider what the average American in 2008 thought about anime. And for the 99% of them, they are cartoons. And cartoons are for children. Do that explains that.

Ironically, in Japan, there isn’t much of a distinction between anime and cartoons. They’re both called anime, which is just short for animation or animated work. So for the Japanese, Tetsujin 28, Berserk, Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, and Shrek are all “anime.”

Ironically, Goblin Slayer returns to the intensity of its first episode basically never again in the show.

I mean, this kind of argument is a bit stupid. Are we supposed to not recommend any books because garbage like Mein Kampf exists (and is infact still printed today)? That’s some certified Grade A trash that is permanently associated with books.

Let’s be real, are any of them honest? You know the answer.

Anime used to be multiple pictures of a piece of plastic with paint on it

So the inspiration is they made it yellow and made the dial hands look a little like gauges?

Maybe when the person was young they did something and they are older and have proven to not be a repeat offender? Rare case, I know, but still possible.

To me it just sounds like a legal out to say any or all of them are deemed ethically unacceptable so they can fire them without legal issues. Japan has whack employment laws, and businesses will almost always try to make you quit before they fire you. I can see this wording being related to something like that.

Very Kenichi Sonoda looking to me.

Seeing behind the curtain doesn’t bother me. Actually, I almost prefer when it happens because I can usually guess how something will go before I waste more time on it if I won’t like it.

a waging finger

What was the wager?

Hope it keeps the original art style.

To be fair, Spain had like 20 shots on goal. The final score doesn’t reflect this information.

Def Leppard also noted that piracy usually leads to fans that pay more than people that don’t pirate at all.

For many, people can’t afford to just spend what might be a lot to them right now for something they don’t know if they will like it or not. Its a risk not worth the cost, and not every library has every new book/manga/movie/music album/video game/etc. Since most of these don’t have adequate “demos” for them to try out, they either:

A) Don’t buy it ever B) Pirate it

The ones that pirate might find out they actually like the thing, and when their fortunes turn around they end up being the biggest spenders that shareholders dream about. Is every pirate that way? No of course not. Most pirates download the data just because they can with no intent of ever buying it (IE, NOT a lost sale). But a sizable number of them to on to spend more than they would have if they didn’t pirate.

I will throw myself under the bus and admit this about myself. NieR Automata. I heard positive things about it, but at the time it was a lot of money for me to risk if I didn’t like the game. When it got cracked I pirated the game and played it. Loved the game.

Loved the game so much I bought it on Steam (at full price). Then I bought it on Xbox. Three times, twice as gifts for other people. Then I bought 2 gift copies on PS5. Then I bought NieR 2010 on the Xbox store. Then I imported a Japanese copy of NieR Gestalt. Then I pre-ordered the White Snow edition of the 1.22 remake. I even spent money on the mobile gacha game NieR Reincarnation (which was actually a fun game, I will add). I even bought copies of the Drakengard games to play those. And I eagerly await another chance to buy another Yoko Taro game. I don’t even like Square Enix. I just like Yoko Taro’s games and I want more of them.

All because I pirated one copy. That’s 12+ sales from a single vector of piracy. That’s a shareholder’s wet dream. They don’t realize I am only that way because piracy allowed me to take a risk on an experience I didn’t know I would like or not. By taking away my opportunity to play the game at no cost of risk, they eliminate people like me that turn into 12+sales from a single vector of piracy.

But I suppose they wouldn’t be businessmen if they weren’t bending over thousands to pinch pennies.

Hm, interesting.

I love how they estimate every instance of piracy as a lost sale. Like oh, you can guarantee that every person pirating your content would have bought it if they couldn’t pirate it? No? Then its not a lost sale.

IDK, “this years ceremony” could just mean they did it this year and not the other years. Just curious as to whether there was any significance or not.
