Marx Headroom posted:Yknow I was actually thinking of a completely different groping incident so there ya go That arc was written especially for the show, it wasn't in the novels at all. I don't think it was in the manga either. Fumoffu, the second season, is 100% comedy though it has Bonta-kun so it's not totally worthless. After the first three episodes of Invisible Victory the story will stay fairly serious until the end of the entire story, in the inevitable next season.

Schwarzwald posted:I wanted to have enough context for the rest of the video to make sense to someone who never watched a super robot show before, and to that end I wanted to cover enough of the first episode to have the show explain itself. That being said, I do agree with you. It's the part that went through the most revisions, and it's still the part I'm least happy with. Always remember your audience. Unless you had a particular person in mind and made this just for them, consider how likely it is for someone who has never before seen any super robot material to watch your video. It’s OK to make some assumptions about your audience, especially for niche subjects like mecha anime.

Shere posted:Specifically it's a mix of the Assault on Teppelin and Rossiu's Ark portions of Gurren Lagann, as rewritten by the people responsible for Kill la Kill, and it's an alternate universe where Kamina didn't die. With some huge Mazinger Z callbacks out of nowhere around 80 minutes in.

 I remembered playing these as a kid and they’re still on my shelf at mom and dad’s house. They’re two hex grid tactical games from Takara based on Dougram; there was a third from VOTOMS that the local hobby shop never got. These have typewritten English instructions included along with the original Japanese manuals. These are kind of obscure in the US, there weren’t many imported before the distributor got a C&D and stopped.

gourdcaptain posted:Sentai Filmworks's new VOTOMS BD set doesn't have any of the bizarre frame blending interlacing issues that plagued their previous set, and has the later OVAs in HD! It really seems like a lot of publishers don’t take the couple of hours to actually watch their master disc before sending them off to the dupe house. Neither the hosed up interlacing nor hosed up aspect ratio has an excuse in 2020.

Kingtheninja posted:God drat, who makes that milia valkyrie? I've always wanted to get some macross fighters but never knew what company or which releases were the ones to get. Toynami made some inexpensive transforming VF-1 figures in just about every color scheme and equipment loadout in Macross, including Max and Mirya’s. While they weren’t as good as the more expensive figures for $20 they were hard to beat.

Zeether posted:I almost got a Hi-Metal R Millia valkyrie off Mandarake before I realized how much it would cost with shipping Sometimes you can use a reshipper like tenso that can offer less expensive shipping or consolidate several items into one box and you can scale that way. I do that all the time with Amazon Japan stuff and a few other places that I can buy direct from but only offer SUPER EXTREME FAST SHIPPING to the US that costs $40 to ship a $5 book but a reshipper will handle for much less. Even then you can get some economies of scale if you order a bunch of items from one place. It's worth noting that EMS and SAL, the inexpensive postal service options from Japan to the US, are still offline at the moment so you're stuck with Fedex, DHL (lol) and UPS (lmao). When their postal service starts working with ours again you may see some less expensive shipping options.

Gaius Marius posted:Was the new FMP series good? I already read the novels so I don't need the story if it's good but I wanna see the Levatein in action It's ok; it goes pretty fast and sticks to the main novels so there's not any comedy interludes with short story adaptations but it covers the plot well enough. It goes through Continuing On My Own, Burning One Man Force, and Come Make My Day. Dancing Very Merry Christmas came between TSR and IV is skipped since it got a radio drama and doesn't have a lot of impact on the overall plot anyway. The Laevatein only gets one fight, in the next to last episode, so if that's what you want you can cut to that one.

Gaius Marius posted:FMP spoilers No, the arena fights in the Crossbow and going against the Mithril defector in the M9 still happen, albeit in the space of like 4 episodes so it's kind of fast but still there. And they didn't finish the series, it has another season to go before they make it to the end. The PS4 game isn't a bad way to experience the rest of the plot, and it's even fully voiced in both English and Japanese.
