I mean, the people wearing the Naruto headbands and stuff like they’re normal clothes probably should still be bullied a little bit. Maybe not as far as back in my day, but definitely don’t be encouraging that. I like anime but that’s not normal nor should it be normal. Its like chuuni disease for non-Japanese middleschoolers that are in high school or something, stop it.
But I also am happy to see it is less looked down on, like gaming.
I remember when we used to get bullied in school for liking anime.
A business is not a person. They should not get all the benefits of being a person with none of the negatives, and then also get all the benefits of being a business with none of the negatives.
If companies are going to do this then they should be legally required to continue printing/selling all of their legacy content. Because sometimes these kinds of sites will have the random obscure content that the publisher literally doesn’t sell anymore, but then the company still gets crazy with them.
“You have our content. Take it down.”
“Okay, then make that content available direct from you so people can actually legally access it.”
“No.”
Overlord has Mare and Aura though? Who, ignoring numerical age, have the appearance of a person under 20.
And Victim is a literal fetus, though Victim is only in the show for about 3 frames.
I agree, but that is also why I was asking.
Yeah, Black Lagoon is lots of fun. I was so sad that it ended.
Jin-Roh slaps, just make sure you’re prepared for it. It’s a pretty heavy, typical Japanese war film, I don’t want to spoil anything so I will just leave it at that. Soundtrack is god-tier though.
+1 for Black Lagoon, W anime pick.
Also for Ghost in the Shell, PatLabor, and Redline.
I will also add on:
Jin-Roh/Jin-Rou (not the Korean live action from 2019), but it does briefly show a child on screen as a supporting character, and I dont remember if Kei was over 18-20 or not
AD Police Files, and its related series Parasite Dolls (unfortunately, the other related series Bubblegum Crisis and Bubblegum Crash are disqualified because Nene Romanov is 18 and Priss is 19, both under 20)
Space Dandy (maybe, that anime had like a billion characters and I dont remember if all of them were adults or not, but its not exactly a kid oriented anime)
Do 1000+ year old characters that look young count?
I mean, I don’t remember watching an anime that has a character like that, but IDK some people are really weird about that.
As long as they don’t mess it up or do a bad job with subtitles, I am always happy for more Dirty Pair, even if its the same as before. A lot to ask for from any company these days, though.
Corporate greed always ends one way, and its never in the benefit of the company.
Not sure where this falls into the 2020 renegotiated licenses and the agreement between Harmony Gold and Big West.
In basic terms, Harmony Gold won’t interfere or prevent Big West from bringing Macross content outside of Japan, and Big West wont interfere with Harmony Gold bringing Robotech content to Japan. Harmony Gold keeps all the existing licenses they already had from Tatsunoku.
Now interestingly, nothing has been stopping Big West from bringing Macross here to the US. To me, it seems like Big West just doesn’t care about any market outside of Japan. Its a common stance for a Japanese company to take, but it is a bit frustrating being a fan of both Robotech and Macross. Here we are 4 years since the agreement and Big West still has the floodgates shut. If Harmony Gold isn’t stopping them now, were they ever really the problem or just a scapegoat for Big West to blame their disinterest on the Western market? And what is preventing them now?
I didn’t skip the Endless Eight Arc on my first watch of Haruhi.
I didn’t know what was happening and at first thought I had watched the wrong episode, but when I checked my episode history I understood. It wasn’t so bad, and spotting the differences in each episode was interesting.
For me, the longest I have watched is Robotech, if you count it since it was technically three different anime originally.
Robotech did a mostly faithful (especially for the time) dub of the original SDF Macross, and then edited the story and footage more heavily for its 2nd and third arcs, which were from SDC Southern Cross and Genesis Climber MOSPEADA. Robotech came in at like, 85 episodes.
If Robotech doesn’t count, Overlord (52) is in 2nd with a very close 3rd plce by Sei Juushi Bismarck (51 episodes).
To me, a high episode count doesn’t always equate to quality. I once assumed that since anime like One Piece, Dragon Ball, and Naruto have such high episode counts, they HAVE to be good, but I just couldn’t get into them. They weren’t for me.
On the other hand, some shows I felt were way too short and wished they had more episodes. Anime like Bubblegum Crisis (not Tokyo 2040), Chobits, Heaven’s Lost Property, Claymore, Coffin Princess Chaika, etc. I liked them a lot and when they ended I just kept wishing there was more.
Truly a nostalgic period
So I am gonna assume that Spice & Wolf S1 isn’t going to be a 24 episode season which is already double the usual length? Otherwise cramming an entire arc into just 4 episodes is not going to be healthy.
Mononoke TV+ movie? Like, Princess Mononoke? The movie was already perfect as it was.
How on Earth did Suicide Squad Isekai make it in the top 10 of an AnimeCorner list? Is it secretly a romcom and I didn’t know?
I hope he gets better and takes time to rest. This guy has been working like, nonstop his whole adult life. Take some time off Anno, you earned it.
