There's some historical thing I'm missing or it's from a manga source from a decade ago and the Girls und Panzer finale thing isn't actually making an incredibly obvious European refugee metaphor with the tan girl transfer student and the rich blonde that had been there, right? Either way, drat GuP is good. Not getting a proper Panzer Vor though is unacceptable and cannot happen again.

Sort of? The idea seemed to be that all the escalator students were French and all the transfers were Japanese. ...Despite the fact that in-universe all the schools are actually Japanese and just act like their countries? Since they made a point of Katyusha not actually knowing Russian and Darjeeling not actually having been to the UK? Maybe all the escalator Freedom students just dye their hair???

i just took the french school as a rose of versailles thing, especially with the commander girl being named Marie and the two subcommanders being kinda handsome when they put their full uniforms on. or lesmis. i think tan girl is just tan edit: also klara is definitely russian. nonna's birthplace is listed as hokkaido. hokkaido has a lot of historical and modern ties to Russia so its possible shes of russian/Japanese mixed descent, which'd fit with her being so much taller than everyone else and knowing russian. regardless shes definitely not foreign like klara is.

Man, spring's got a lot more options. I only really had 3 shows to watch this winter. Hype: Golden Kamuy (they better get the faces right) Lupin 3, Pt. V Safe: BNH3 Wotakoi (Been waiting for this to come out since finding it in the Zolgin thread (come back zolgin)) Chance: Hisone To Maso-Tan Caligula Megablox Risk: Magical Girl Boy (ore) 99% sure I'm just going to end up watching GK and Wotakoi week to week and just catch up on the rest as they air past the second week though.

Magical girl ore is a good one this season, it’s just the right kind of trashy raunchy to be a magical girl take on yaoi that brings something new to the table.

Space Flower posted:and she's a literal cake eater who just goes 'who give a gently caress? tryna eat cake here' Yeah, but who doesn't love cake? Davincie posted:well i mean, marie is a name linked to the french revolution in multiple ways... Yeah, but the named characters are, as a whole, a Rose of Versaille reference: Oscar (Oshida), Andre (Andou), and Marie-Antoinette (Marie). Rose, itself is set around the French Revolution so, like a cake, it's a layered reference. Also remember that the whole rivalry as shown was a ruse.

I've resumed watching Full Metal Panic. In Episode 14, I was disappointed when Chidori teamed up with that rear end in a top hat. I'm not sure what she was trying to accomplish by that. Episode 15 introduces Sosuke's homeland of Helmajistan. OK, the Khanka Autonomous Region was one thing, but Helmajistan is just a stupid name. Apparently the LNs used actual countries (Afghanistan and North Korea); I guess the anime people felt it would be in bad taste, especially since the US invasion of Afghanistan began shortly before the anime came out. Edit: Wow, there are a lot of stupid people in Mithril. The ones who aren't are basically just the old man, Tessa, Grace, and sometimes Sosuke. Also, you can tell Gauron's mech is better than everybody else's because it's red, lol. Silver2195 fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Mar 27, 2018 |

sousuke's backstory as a not-mujahideen child soldier in not-afghanistan fighting not-communists is insanely epic and i love it. also melissa mao is definitely one of the not-stupid people

An official website for creative company Bouncy has launched an official website and announced a 3DCG live anime variety show by director Koutarou Ishidate titled Virtual Wide has been announced. Its trial version will be streaming live via Yahoo! Japan at 9:00 p.m. for one hour on March 29. The archive version will also be available for a week after the live-streaming. Ishidate, who has produced live anime series for Minarai Diva and Mahou Shoujo? Naria☆Girls in the past, will direct and compose the show. The concept for the show is "Virtual YouTuber x Wideshow." Wideshow is a made up word by Japanese for variety show. Setting of the Show: Gods and angels on Heaven would look down on Earth and discuss about what happens there freely. The light for the two angels Mika Shinzen and Gabu Mizuki, would descend on their heads when they hear Ten no Koe (God's voice). if this one is as bad as the last.... 3 or 4 studio bouncy offerings ill fuckign kill myself

Is it true that the GuP animators kept trying to sneak in pantyshots and the director kept catching them and making them fix it, or is that just an urban legend?

For whatever reason brought this up, I can't remember a single panty shot happening in Konosuba, yet it managed to be way dirtier than if it just had some.

It's something he stated with regards to his P.A. Works projects and there's apparently a tweet that he made that suggests that this also applied to GuP

there was definitely a no pantyshots rule imposed by the director on GuP, because there's a couple of gags in some of the side material about that. Iunno if they kept trying to constantly sneak them in, though, that might just be a rumor.
