Nekokami Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 23 hours ago, Ieono said: I'm a bit hesitant to watch the newer JoJo anime. I have been so in love with the manga for a long time, and I don't want to get this weird mix in my mind of awesome manga and mediocre animation. That's what happened to me with Gantz, Air Gear, and a few others. The newer JoJo anime is just fantastic. The animation, the sound, the colours... It's all great. David Production really made an effort with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishaCat Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Jojo's animation in the anime early on isn't all that good to be honest. Its a great show, but from a technical perspective, the animation is very lacking and only really saved for the action scenes, as if the show started with a low budget. I haven't seen any of the newer stuff to see if it improved in that regard, but even so, its a great show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the animation in the first season and early Stardust Crusaders is great when it matters, but admittedly kinda average elsewhere. But the second season of SC looks amazing, and Diamond is Unbreakable looks to be similar from the PV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekokami Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 (edited) It seems that the 100th anime series I completed was Shomin Sample, a harmless ecchi-comedy that is saved from being too generic by having a thigh fetishist MC and homo-erotic musclemen. So, my 100th was nothing special, really - about a 7/10. Edited March 19, 2016 by Nekokami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in this case, the trademark would be used in a cartoon, not a musical production, so reality, they'd be fine if they used actual band names and songs for the villains and such. But Japan is all about that 'intellectual property' bullshit. actually part of the reason it's taken so long for jojo's stuff to be official subbed in english is cause of a Prince lawsuit with part 5 where a stand is named "Golden Experience" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not the first time this question has been asked about other projects. EW.)

Luca Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I watched a few things today The first being JOJO part 4, episode one. That was as good as it could be, I love the use of color so far. The second thing being being Phoenix Wright. That started pretty strong. Last, was the sub for The Boy and the Beast, maybe it's because I'm drunk and already moody, but this movie hit me hard with the feels tonight. I've been a fan of Mamoru Hosoda since Summer Wars, one of my favorite films ever. It left me kind of a blubbering mess, but take it from me, it was good! <_< 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishaCat Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Watched the first episode of Phoenix Wright. Was pretty accurate to the first game. Not very animated, but then again, its a court case so its not like there's a need for much animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Head Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I seem to be going through another Evangelion phase. This is the third time I think where I obsess over this show. I could spend hours and HAVE spent hours pouring over analysis and explanations of this show's inner workings. I dig it. I remember watching Bennet the Sage's review of End of Eva and being convinced that the show was tripe. Now I'm mad at the guy for misleading me so fucking hard and nearly causing me to lose out on one of my fave anime's. I should get the Der Mond art book by the main concept artist for the show (he also did the art of the manga). The art in this book looks absolutely sublime. Delicious.

The Manga goes more in depth on explaining what's going on. It's been so long since I've researched this stuff, so I may be rusty. The angels were being created, or rather resurrected, by SEELE. The whole goal was to initialize third impact (Instrumentality). Basically, SEELE's goal, third impact, was the next "evolution" of man, in a fashion. Mankind would strip away their flesh and the barriers between us, and our souls would join in a form of collective consciousness, a type of utopia, inside a giant Rei, who's kinda like Lilith, but Rei. The Angels joining with either Lilith or Adam was supposed to start that. I THINK Adam was the one who created the Angels, a billion years ago, to fight Lilith. Episodes 25 and 26 were supposed to be third impact from Shinji's point of view (and briefly other characters), him rejecting other people and then finally accepting himself and others (the part where everyone claps around him). (In all actuality the reason the last two episodes are the way they are is because Gainax ran out of money). In the movie, he rejects Instrumentality and it fails. Here's something explained later in the Manga, so don't read it if you don't want to know. Lilith and Adam are life seeds for planets, sent by an advanced race. They're designed to create life on a planet, eventually striving towards intelligent life. There's only supposed to be one per planet, but Earth accidentally had two, and Adam and Lilith fought each other. Hence, the angels were created by Adam to fight Lilith. Lilith eventually stabs Adam with the Lance of Longinus, and he goes into hibernation at the South Pole. Lilith then creates life on Earth. The giant sphere under the geofront where Lilith is located was her "spacecraft", and there's a matching one for Adam at the South Pole.

"I THINK Adam was the one who created the Angels, a billion years ago, to fight Lilith." Adam did create the Angels when he fell to earth. But all he did was spread the seeds for them all across the planet. It wasn't until the Second Impact that Adam's Door of Guf opened and gave his children souls.
