ViggyNash posted:Well, you should anyway. It's got some great art and is really not as creepy as you might expect with that title. Aside from the kinda creepy initial premise it's pretty much clean, and really intriguing. I was making a joke about how "Mahou Tsukai no Yome" is the name of a thing I've never heard of, whereas "Mahou Tsukai no Yoru" is a thing that owns.

Namtab posted:My fave thing about this season so far is all the goons reading the goon reviews warning them away from cross ange and then (un)ironically watching it while popping (un)ironic boners. Goons tend to hatewatch stuff more than they unironically watch stuff. It's not usually this way in ADTRW (I think Cross Ange is only an exception because it's uniquely awful and its awfulness doesn't require a huge time investment to witness) but in TVIV and CD one of the best ways to get people to watch something is to go on and on about how horrible it is.

mr. stefan posted:People watch poo poo like Miami Connection or Surviving Edged Weapons because it's legitimately entertaining from how batshit it is, not because they "want to see how bad it gets." Oh, come the gently caress on. I love both of those, but I love them because they're horrible. I haven't seen Cross Ange and have no desire to (even without the fanservice it's not really my bag) but it's not really that unbelievable that someone would spend less than half an hour watching the first episode out of morbid curiosity. e: Wait until the second episode airs and see who stuck around before you start accusing people of actually unironically enjoying it.

Just to give everyone fair warning, Parasyte doesn't really stay outright horror for that long if I remember correctly. It turns into a dark action series, more along the lines of Devilman or Type-Moon's stuff, fairly quickly. It still loving owns, and the body-horror aspects don't really go away (though they kinda get more cool than scary), but how the series begins isn't necessarily representative of how it ends (or even how it middles). e: I hope this isn't considered a spoiler, I just see a lot of people talking about it like it's straight horror and if it follows the manga I don't want everyone to be pissed off about the "bait-and-switch."

I mean, neither of those opinions are that weird? Parasyte slightly edges out UBW for me too so far, but only because UBW's beginning isn't nearly as interesting as Parasyte's. I'm familiar with the originals of both and, provided both of them stick the landing, they'll probably end up about even in my opinion.

Like I said earlier, it becomes more of an action show later on. "Tokyo Ghoul but not mediocre" is actually a pretty good way of describing the general arc the series takes, tonally/genre-wise. e: It's not as if UBW had very much action in the first half of episode 0, either. (It's sort of unfair to compare an entire hour-long episode of one show to a half-hour of another.)e2: Ahahaha, the little changes they're making to Parasyte to make it less early-90s are actually really good. I love how Shinichi's first impulse when Migi reveals itself to him is to google "talking right hand weird snake" and see what comes up.

Wolfman Nards posted:It's sort of unfair for me to compare it to anything at all. All I know is that Type Moon is some kind of visual novel series where some of the canon games are apparently hentai and that Unlimited Budget Works has some good visuals. Type-Moon is a company that makes action-horror VNs with really, really batshit insane premises. Some of them have gratuitous titties in them. On the whole, though, they're quite good, and the original UBW is probably the second-best thing they've ever done (and the best is getting a movie series immediately after UBW is over with). It's pretty awesome finally being able to recommend people a Type-Moon thing without serious reservations, that's for sure. (Not counting Kara no Kyoukai because, if I remember correctly, the original predates Type-Moon as a company, and it's... a little hairy in the writing department, even with the tweaks ufotable made.)

I mean, I don't really see how gore is a horrible thing, but then my favorites of this season are Parasyte and UBW and I'm semi-eagerly awaiting the Terra Formars blurays, plus I semi-frequently talk up Genocyber in relevant threads, so I'm probably not a great judge. The rape stuff can definitely get hosed, though.  Shame this poo poo still shows up in anime.

Grouchio posted:I sometimes wonder if the general quality of anime has been in constant decline these days... We have two Gundam shows that are both really loving good (one of which is a Tomino one, no less), at least four really good non-mecha action shows (Parasyte, Unlimited Blade Works, Garo, Rage of Bahamut), second seasons of a few shows that ranged from good to excellent (Yowamushi Pedal, Psycho-Pass, Chaika, Mushishi, Log Horizon, WIXOSS), whatever you'd classify Amagi and Grisaia as, and a couple good comedy shows. We even have a fun trainwreck show in the form of Twintails, and JoJo is coming back while all of these shows are still airing. Cross Ange or no, this is still pretty much the best goddamn season in possibly a decade or more. Even if a solid half of these shows spectacularly poo poo the bed, this is still a really good season. How do you even figure it's been in constant decline? Justin_Brett posted:I mean poo poo, people were comparing this to Symphogear before it came out, but that's pretty insulting to Symphogear now. Symphogear was alright, though?

My only problem with Hellsing is that it shoots its load a little too early and never really tops Pip's last stand, followed by Seras losing her goddamned mind, going full Alucard and grinding Zorin's face into mush on the wall. Other than that it is the Dopest poo poo.

I mean, Ultimate started in like 04, so you're not wrong. That said, yeah, it's dumb as hell, but the high points are genuinely really kickass, it has a genuine fresh take on vampires that doesn't involve sparkles and only barely involves romance, and some of the ideas it has are just so absolutely batshit loving crazy that even the not-so-well-executed ones have a certain gonzo appeal to them. Like, one of the minor villains is a walking, talking, teleporting physical representation of a quantum physics thought experiment, and Alucard has Bruce Willis living in his gun. e: if anything Hellsing Ultimate is a throwback to 90s OVAs. The closest comparisons I can think of are, like, Genocyber and Mad Bull 34.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Is that Hellsing or Hellsing Ultimate? I've never watched the former but I don't remember any wacky comedy bits in the later although that may be because they're just not as memorable as the crazy as hell fights. Even the most serious bits have stuff like Pip being a massive goonlord regarding Seras, Integra making Anderson's cronies light her cigar despite ostensibly being their prisoner, and Schrödinger appearing out of nowhere in Seras' mind to cheerily tell Zorin she hosed up. Ultimate is actually the sillier of the two by a wide margin. e: actually, you can pretty much count the times it goes full grimdark on one hand. The only things coming to mind are Alucard killing Rip in that super creepy, rapey way and Zorin making Seras relive her parents getting brutally murdered. Every other major story beat I can think of is at least mildly silly. SALT CURES HAM fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Oct 22, 2014 |

Zorak posted:Hellsing was the kind of thing that seemed just supremely cool when you were like 15 I will admit that nostalgia from being like 12 and discovering anime is probably a pretty large chunk of why I still dig Hellsing. That said, for how dumb it is, it's impressively entertaining, and the voice acting (at least in English) elevates the material quite a bit. Also, my phone tried to autocorrect "chunk" to "chuuni" for some reason. e: also, Parasyte still owns, in case anyone was somehow on the fence. It's basically a more grounded take on Devilman's concept, with a bit of JoJo tossed in for good measure. SALT CURES HAM fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Oct 23, 2014 |

I think Tokyo Ghoul totally merits a thread.
