Think the most jarring thing was seeing a billboard for Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso's Darwin album in Macross Plus. That's awesome, but also... why?

Max Headroom is an actor wearing make-up stuff, he's technically not AI either! We're cleaning up with our caveats and such. He is cool I watched his Letterman appearance recently. I see what you're saying though, that was a good time for cyberpunk stories. But the real point here, watching Robotech instead of Macross the series for the first time in 2024? Yes I fainted. And just saying, word on the street is there are more story differences than suggested by the few eps compared there. I've seen the posts with the lists and stuff folks. Macross sure rules.

There are huge story differences between the two, the thing is it's entirely done through dialogue - for all intents and purposes they are 1:1 when it comes to footage, they didn't actually cut up or rearrange scenes anywhere - if you watched them muted they would be identical other than the OP/ED Sudden white hot flash memory of that Robotech narrator that talks about EVERYTHING

FilthyImp posted:I think the idea that people would be fans of an AI Artist may have been out there (because, like, the question of creative genesis and all). But Max Headroom was a series 7 years dead at that point and that dumb little thing created a HUGE 80s icon. And Hello Kitty continues to do gangbusters.

Macross is near and dear to my heart as it's one of the first animes I've seen (Zero and Plus specifically in 2007). Although, another one that's also dear to me is Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne. I watched almost all of it (missing maybe the last few episodes?) in German on a channel I had on cable while not understanding German and trying to understand the show through visuals. For years I didn't know what it was called and just had a vague memory of it until I mentioned it to a friend and they said it sounded like KKJ. Watching it last year was a nice experience. Despite only really getting into anime in the 2010s, I gravitate a lot toward the old stuff from the 80s and 90s. I do wonder how much KKJ and Plus have influenced that as they have those aesthetics.

Oh poo poo just realized a young Wendee Lee plays ones of the crew members. At this point I'm watching it twice: Once with the Macek-red version (to experience the US's first exposure to almost every anime trope ever) followed by the original subbed.

I've got so much nostalgia with Robotech watching it with my dad - who was so into it he watched it on its own when work meant he was living in another state - it's hard to re-watch for that reason and not anything else. Also I do remember being irritated when Toonami brought it back but didn't show Invid.

TenementFunster posted:max headroom was just a guy in a mask and hello kitty is megumi hayashibara Yeah I guess the HK thing is a reach. She's a popular fictional character that's pretty ubiquitous. I was just jumping to thoughts about fandoms for fictional entities.

Like if you remove Robotech from Harmony Gold it's an interesting adaptation and has it's own unique story bits that I'd be perfectly fine with getting more stuff for. But you can separate it from Harmony Gold and it's BS with Macross and that's sad in a way

Uses the same Robotech VA's and Anglicized names (albeit a halfway compromise with Ichijyo/Rick being named "Rick Yamada"). God awful opening theme too, but a peek into what could've been if it weren't for syndication rules. Nightmare Cinema fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Mar 27, 2024 |

Was scrolling through streaming services on Sunday night looking for something to just veg out with, and all the sudden my wife goes "hey, do you think the Fatal Fury movie is on Crunchyroll?" and it turns out, yes, it is. I'd never seen it before but the wife wanted to take a trip down memory lane since she apparently loved it as a young teen and even convinced her parents to let her dress up as Mai Shiranui for Halloween Unfortunately, the nostalgia did not hold up for her  It's not great, and also they just straight up stole the Chun-Li shower scene from the Street Fighter 2 movie cuz there's a brief panning shot of Mai in an almost identical pose

That's one of the greatest films ever made, top tier Obari! It doesn't just hold up, it holds up any movie even near it like a shelf! But it is great that your wife got into it and Mai and stuff. It is always a fascinating thing what will hold up or doesn't. I'll say for me, anime in particular tends to hold up. I feel like I kind of knew what I was getting at the time. It's more stuff like say I dunno Drop Dead Fred that I'll try and find don't hold up on rewatch.

A win for SNK See I wondered about the dates too, and I swear when I looked them up, the SF2 movie was a January of 94 release. But I was looking this up at 1am after I'd been moving boxes up and down 3 flights of stairs for like 7 hours. I wonder what the hell I saw that was a Jan 94 release... e: ok looking again, I think what I saw on Google was Street Fighter II V, which was January 96. I'd looked up FF first, saw July 94 then saw the SF2 thing for January and my brain just auto-completed the "19" to "1994" so welp Skypie fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Apr 23, 2024 |
