Kruger posted:Or why the planet in Trigun has a very wide variety of non-standardized 20th century guns. there's not much to remember, since it completely squandered the amazing premise of a BERSERKER WHO FIGHTS TANKS. still kinda pisses me off that it wasn't just an increasingly implausible series of man v. tank fights.

I think there was like one tank and it shot him with a shell full of slow-acting poison gas so he just walked up and shot through the vision slits.

I'm most of the way through the first season of Yuuki Yuuna and I was expecting dark but I wasn't expecting it to be outright cosmic and body horror.  EDIT: Kind of a disappointing ending. Madoka convinced me Homura's obsessive insanity was sufficient to change the world, this show not so much. Sindai fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Oct 7, 2017 |

Irritated Goat posted:Please tell me they try to pronounce that in japanese They don't. The names of people are pronounced, but the unit name is kokka hoan (JP for national security) and he's honbuchou (director). The german is just an affectation added by the translators. Chuui (Lieutenant)-> Obersturmführer too, as another example. Kytrarewn fucked around with this message at 12:27 on Oct 7, 2017 |

I think the tank fight was more to just show how he used to be, the rest of the series isn't really about military action, it's about rebuilding from a war.

Davincie posted:its clearly not ww2 post apoc judging by the fact that they show multiple pieces of cold war equipment. its just that everything the girls carry is ww2 german, and most of the destroyed stuff ww2 soviet. i don't need a voiceover ofc, if anything the total lack of exposition is good. its just that the setting comes over more as a grab bag of things the author found cool looking, then consistent. all of this might change later of course its almost as if the series might be about the characters, rather than the setting

The german is just an affectation added by the translators. Then after inserting all the nazi terminology to go along with all the nazi imagery, they decide that viewers would be too offended to read the words "sieg heil" while hearing it actually said in japo-german.

How many series has Nisio teamed up with Akatsuki Akira at this point? Is he the manga version of Shinbo to Nisio now? e: Allarion posted:Slightly spoilerish since the anime hasn't labeled everyone yet (like how the boar kills in abundance and the rabbit kills strangely), but the manga labels her as The PV gave everyone the labels, and I think the website also has the labels. The rub is that they're all in Japanese, so if you can't read, I guess it'd be a spoiler. Also, please check out the rap video Postal Parcel fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Oct 7, 2017 |

Rodenthar Drothman posted:That circletrain arc was hosed up, burrito His PTSD stuff is pretty brutal in that one and there was a lot of hosed up poo poo going on in that town I want to know more about Randel in the war and what they did to him and I hate the way it just dribbles out hints every now and then. I also don't necessarily dislike Alice but she's way less interesting to me than pretty much everyone else in the unit but gets the majority of the development, even in the most recently translated stuff that's his history and backstory yet ends up being all about Alice once again. I think I'd like it overall better if he was the focal character instead of her or if it did a true ensemble and gave equal weight to everyone on the team. Sometimes he ends up feeling more like a plot mechanism than a true character. It's a pretty cool setting and is fairly unique IMO but is definitely not without flaws. Also I was looking at the covers and man some of them are *so bad* Everything Burrito fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Oct 7, 2017 |

Wark Say posted:Medaka Box, Shounen Shoujo, Juuni Taisen Manga and part of the Oogiri anthology. Besides, Katanagatari is better (beyond the Kizu movies), and there's no technically there's no shinbo involved in -gatari either. he's either credited as chief director to someone else's director credit, or director to someone else's series director credit.

Luckily it's a really long series, so hopefully we'll see more of Randel's past. Sadly, it's not proceeding quickly... at all. PS is part of the reason i started scanlating back in the Way Back times.

Really enjoyed the first ep of Kino's Journey - scratches that rare Mushishi itch and Aoi Yuuki's turning in a great performance as Kino. Definitely keeping this one on the queue.

Droyer posted:Did I imagine it or did the subs refer to Kino as "he"? I heard someone say that at some point but I can't find it in the actual subs? At any rate, unless it's an omniscient narrator or maybe Hermes, I don't know why it should matter? I gather Kino's generally seen as NB, sure, but I don't see why some bumfuck villager should be able to glance at them and know not to use "he."

Sindai posted:I'm most of the way through the first season of Yuuki Yuuna and I was expecting dark but I wasn't expecting it to be outright cosmic and body horror. We never learn much about the Shinju-sama in the first season and it's sufficient to consider it a proper god. As such, the girls don't seem to have much agency over their fates beyond prayer and hoping. There are LNs that do go over what happened to start the whole thing 300 years ago and another one that goes more into how the secret organization works. It's definitely not quite as good as Madoka, but it is just as interesting, if not more so

The first episode of Blood Bath and Beyond was a lot of fun. I'm glad they kept the descriptive text for everyone from season 1 (well, ok, I was only looking for "dick suck" for Zapp, but that's the only one that matters).

They were also in public though weren't they? It could absolutely be a subs mistake but could also just be her and Hermes keeping her gender a secret from everyone standing within earshot
