Imagawa will return to anime, and finish Giant Robo and Shin Grendizer, both with beautiful cel animation, before I finish G Gundam.

No. I've been playing Company of Heroes 2 and it's fine I guess. Not my thing though.

But red alert 3 has co-op single player, and tim curry, and george takei, and the empire of the rising sun is basically alternate universe otaku japan

I tried really hard to like Giant Robo but even though it was very pretty I thought it was kind of boring and predictable. Which is annoying because I really like all the other Imagawa stuff I've watched

Yeah, but that doesn't change the fact that the rocket angels in red alert 3 own. It's too bad they're so far up the tech tree that by the time you can build them, you probably already have a ton of other units instead so an armada of women in flying suits is a distraction from your mecha-tengus, walking chickencopter mechs, giant mechs, and the telekinetic schoolgirl commando.

It goes on sale a bunch, and if you legit don't like RTS games, that's fine and chill and cool. I don't know if you can even play the co-op main campaign anymore or multiplayer at all since it used gamespy and that poo poo's dead as hell.

I'm really bad at picking favorites because my list turns over pretty quickly, but here are some shows that I really liked a lot and watched more than once and/or could watch again right now:
House of Five Leaves
Mononoke
Samurai Champloo
Hozuki no Reitetsu
Mushishi
Chihayafuru

I think GANGSTA. and Gatchaman Crowds are going to end up on there by the end of this season.

Cromartie High School

i don't like to put movies and short OVAs into these lists, they'd get a separate one.

e: gently caress i totally forgot about Mononoke, swapped

Don't get the dlc tho i heard it's bad and it doesnt have a co-op campaign. Unless it's in a pack where it's cheaper to buy them both than to buy just the base game by itself

I'm awful at deciding on favorites, but if you forced me I at least know that Shin Mazinger and Giant Robo would be up there. Maybe Shirobako and Humanity has Declined too.

By the way, does the modern urban aesthetic in Samurai Champloo ever get explained or expanded on? I'm five episodes in and the disk scratch cut-ins and the like feel kind of jarring.

Tetsugaku Letra is so good. I wish it was licensed so I could buy it, but until then I wish the scans came out a little faster. It got an update today though!

If by expanded you mean 'is there an entire episode about dueling graffiti ninja clans?' then yes, it is very much expanded.

I learned that Mead drew a Gundam for Sunrise even before Turn A



and that there was a short lived (due to lawsuit from the other half of the original creative team) Space Battleship Yamato sequel called Yamato 2520 and he designed that version of the titular ship too.

Bad Seafood posted:

Jojo post-Part 2 is technically several tournament arcs stitched together just with plot and a change of scenery from time to time.

I need to go do something but I'll explain what I mean when I get back.
So around the time Araki was getting ready to make the jump from Part 2 to Part 3, tournament arcs experienced a huge surge in popularity in shounen publications. Araki (and probably his editors) deemed it a vein worth tapping in to, but Araki had some concerns with the typical tournament arc structure, which he refers to in interviews as the "Pyramid" structure: A and B fight, A wins, goes on to challenge C who is stronger than B, repeat. Feeling this model was limited, Araki instead devised a "Boardgame" structure in which the heroes would go around fighting various bad guys who posed specific threats tailored to the set pieces they found themselves inhabiting. Thus, Part 3 is really a tournament arc in disguise. Thereafter of course Jojo retained its newfound focus on compartmentalized fights, perpetuating its own brand of tournament derivative over the next several decades.

It's a subject Araki's addressed in various interviews, before anyone jumps in with Araki Said.™

Mead was asked by Tomino specifically to do the Turn A design and was a fan of gundam to begin with, he had done art of it before.

It's actually cool because to come up wioth the sumo which is his original draft for the turn a he took turns sketching and deconstructing the main iconic gundams of the universal century and taking notes on all of them before coming up with his version.
