Presumably there'll be a volume two, although I wondered the same thing. Also, is it ok to be enjoying the fact that Harmony Gold's kickstarter for a new Robotech series doesn't look like it's going to be funded?

So I started reading Tokyo Ghoul because a friend suggested it, and I don't know about it 'becoming bleach', but it has the coolest 'i wont kill my enemy' segment ever.


Fighting his friend's younger brother who refuses to stay down. So he decides to 'half-kill' him. By breaking exactly half of the brother's bones so he wouldn't be capable of anything, let alone resisting.

Oh, and while he's doing this, he names each and every bone and what it does.

Or the ADV set, which had improved video (and a fairly questionable dub).

Honestly, unless they're double siding the discs, 18 episodes is too many for a four disc box, given that there are hard edits between Macross and Robotech: The Macross Saga that can't be overcome by just switching audio tracks. They need to keep separate versions of everything like Samurai Pizza Cats or Ronin Warriors.

But yeah, there's very little reason to purchase this, and one big reason not to: gently caress Harmony Gold.

I'm pretty sure they can do it scene by scene instead of having to include the entire uncut episode.

They pretty much have to be double-siding the DVDs. The press release states disc 1 will be episodes 1-9 of Robotech, disc 2 will be episodes 1-9 of Macross, disc 3 episodes 10-18 of Robotech, and disc 4 episodes 10-18 of Macross. 9 episodes on one DVD isn't the most optimum condition, but that's likely little consideration for Harmony Gold at this point.

My worry is that they're trying to do a last minute cash grab so they can crank out some lovely Robotech tie in to keep their license going for another 10 years. Seriously gently caress Harmony Gold.

I'm wanting it to be good but there's no way they can do Parasyte justice with the amount of censoring they'll have to do for TV, it's gonna end up like that soulless Guyver TV series from a few years ago.

I remember reading the first chapter of Love Stage a long while back, so I figured what the hell, I'll check it out. My feelings are...mixed. As a comedy show, it's not bad. The comedic timing is pretty tight, the character design is great, and I've laughed out loud a good few times. Unfortunately, it's still a stupid loving yaoi, and suffers not from being about male/male relationships, but from the typical ridiculous bullshit that's developed around the genre. It went down the shitter fast right around the middle of episode 3, and you can probably guess why. I'm forgiving, so I'll give it another episode because to be fair it can be funny as hell sometimes. We'll see if I stick with it.


Yeah i dont think ive seen a single anime in this genre that didn't get like the 3rd episode of Love Stage in one form or another.

Its kinda a trope of Yaoi.

An awful awful terrible no good trope.

Which is sad, cause outside of that Love Stage does some funny well thought out things.

I see DRAMAtical Murder heading head on into that trope soon too. So fair warning.

So next spring we're gonna be getting a new Digimon anime...which is probably a retread of 02. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-08-01/digimon-adventure-anime-returns-next-spring-in-high-school-sequel/.77195

If this retcons that season I'd like to see what they're gonna change. I never saw the rest of 02 back when it was on Fox but everyone hated the ending.

Taichi was 14 in the Japanese version when 02 came along, and the trailer specifies that he'll be 17. It looks like they're just tagging another sequel onto the two existing seasons of Adventure.

With every new episode, Argevollen has teetered on the brink of being continued or dropped. In most respects, it's not bad, but I don't think I can stand the idiocy of the main character any longer. More specifically, I don't think I can stand the tolerance everyone around him seems to have for it. He repeatedly makes poor decisions and not only is routinely forgiven, but even rewarded.

If his poor decision-making had consequences... but it doesn't. Dropped, and I wish I'd not stuck around so long.

This Season So Far:

Sailor Moon Crystal: Animation is hit or miss. I like that its following some sorta manga or new formula. Its sailor moon. Not a LOT to say about it.

Aldnoah.Zero: My personal fave this season. Im a sucker for mech anime, but most ( im looking at gundam in the last 10 years ) are not so great or are very iterative. This one stands out. It feels fresh and very well realized so far. Probably my favorite mech show since the dramatacular Code Geass.

Jojo's: Continues to be great. Honestly transcends the season to be awesome for a very long time now. Wish i hadnt been late to the party.

Zankyou No Terror: Not sure how i feel. Hits the dark notes very easily. Characters seem very unsavory though i guess thats intentional.

Akame Ga Kill: This show doesnt know what its tone is supposed to be, and neither do i. Stopped watching.

I thought his dumbass moment towards the end of this episode was kinda funny. I'm still watching it, but I watched Buddy Complex so my tolerance for aggressively boring robot shows is apparently quite high.

Sunrise is putting out a new mecha property this fall. The staff barely have anything to their name (even the character designer is doing character designs for an anime for the first time).

I guess at least it looks like they're not trying to lazily imitate Gundam and/or Geass this time? But all the same, of the 3 mecha shows they're putting out next season I think it's safe to assume this will be the weakest.
