So that event revealed almost nothing if you were hoping to have something to talk about for the new anime (beyond a "Winter on NicoNico" anoucement which I am dubious of given the lack of, well, anything). Obasu was dodging questions about the thing like a politician on heat. Compared to the musical which they're putting on a goddamn pedestal, I'm getting the impression the anime is being treated like a redheaded stepchild so please act surprised when come Winter there's nothing.

A Pinball Wizard posted:Also, someone said the new manga releases have a better translation. Does the Stars arc make any sense now? I was never sure if I was confused because the translation was bad or if it just makes no sense in general. Whilst Stars was egocentric as hell (Reading it in a Post-Madoka light certainly colours one experience with it) the improved print quality certainly helps things make a bit more sense. (For example, during the Sailor Aluminum Siren fight, the Tokyopop print makes it look like she broke Mercury and Jupiter's Necks whilst the reprint makes it clear that they were thrown in the way of Moon's attack which makes why they were blown away make a ton more sense. Story wise, it's utterly bonkers (and part of me sees Ikuhara constantly kicking himself for not sticking around to direct it) but I certainly pick it over the TV showing of events. Seriously, everything after episode 7 of Stars was pure concentrated butt, The great ChibiChibi Towel/Cake Conundrum be damned. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Aug 15, 2013 |

And then Season two is about a five year old girl searching for Superman. As in, she's that desperate to solve a crisis she caused that she's willing to bugger all laws of time and space on the off-chance that Daddy's bedtime stories about this mythic super figure have some basis in fact.

Pimpmust posted:I got this seething rage from just seeing/reading about that pink-haired troll and I think my only real exposure is through some old SNES rpg... Stephanie Beard made the role her own in S and SS, though. Pimpmust posted:In other news, started the second season and while I didn't really think the Memory loss schtick would stick (being the 90ies superhero story and all... ), haha poo poo the loving cats could just pump the memories back in 5 seconds flat like that? Given she only had the role for a few episodes before hand (Kotono Mitsuishi being off ill during the last leg of season one and part of R), Araki bloody well sells it.

It was just such a waste to go from the first seven episodes, which did more to be an adaptation of Super S's manga arc than anything Super S actually did, only to putz around for a whole season only for Galexia to just go "Right, this is boring, everyone's going to die right the gently caress now because I drat well say so" and then everyone died right the gently caress then because she drat well said so.

Oh don't get me wrong, The first and last seven episodes are easily some of the best stuff to come out of Sailor Moon but those 26 episodes in the middle (inspite of some really funny proto-Doreimi bits here and there) are just a chore to go though.

S is better, SS is a load and you're better served just jumping to Stars eps 1-7 and presuming the big bad was a movie vilian or something and then you can skip to ep 26 or so of Stars where you can see bets being off.

Sailor Moon is serial in the same way Power Rangers is (which is apt enough); Each episode has series of Main Story episodes that have a number of side stories added on in-between them.

Probably. There's Japanese (Maybe OOP, don't quite know), French, German and Italian DVD releases of the series but a) they're not in English and ether b) Released by Kazé (Viz Europe) who's overall track record with releasing stuff on home video can be charitably descried as "Crap" or c) Released in Japan and thus levy to a whole bunch of pricing bullshit that can be charitably described as "Thatcheresque"

I'm not sure that it got canned so much as it told what it wanted. Sure I'd like a modern take on ChibiUsa's "searching for superman" deal but the one series was fine on its own. Ballet-fu and all.

To put it bluntly, I'll watch Battle of the Planets if I want to watch a "Re-imagining" of Gatchaman long before I even think of Crowds. They didn't to do badly with Cashern Sins and that got my hopes up and then they made [C] again with vague hints of Gatchaman with a Mary Sue who makes Haruhi look reasonable. I worry for Tatsunoko some times between [C] and Crowds. ConanThe3rd fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Feb 27, 2014 |

Honestly, the redesigns kinda prod that same space in my head that the JoJo's anime designs did so hopefully that means Toei will translate as well as David production did/is doing. Voice cast is...interesting, Thinking about Manga Rei for example, yeah I could buy Misaka from Railgun for that voice. The voice of Squid Girl being Ami is...huh. The Fortnightly thing, fine, as long as they don't gently caress up. We did not get hosed around for two years for it to all go sideways right now.
