The premiere of that Supermansion show is on right now just ended if anyone cares.

Argus Zant posted:

oh, and there's one more tiny detail that got left out of this: once One Punch Man finishes up its run in the 0300 rerun slot at the end of January, Toonami's gonna replace it with Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex.




It's a series loosely related to the famous 1995 movie, meaning that while it's still primarily about Maj. Kusanagi and Section 9, it's got its own continuity and isn't related to the movie outside of the basic concepts of the setting and characters. If you've never seen any form of GitS before, it's basically Deus Ex: The Anime: lots of stuff about transhumanism, corporate/government conspiracies, cybernetic technologies, and a whole lot of philosophical discussion about what it means to exist and be human in an age of robot bodies and artificial intelligence. The show is structured sorta like a police procedural, except instead of street cops busting drug dealers and homicide perps, it's about GSG9 taking out anti-augmentation terrorists and Russian organ-harvesting/smuggling rings.

I've seen the entireties of both GitS series at least 5 times now and they always end up losing me at some point. I get that they're great shows, but I've just never been able to get very enthused about them. 2nd Gig in particular is hard for me to follow; the boring philosophy lectures and convoluted politics are hard for me to sit through without falling asleep.

I guess I feel the same way about GitS that most of the rest of y'all feel about Gundam, although at least Gundam has cool fights sometimes.

I thought just the opposite, that 2nd Gig was way better and a really fun ride. (Though I'll agree that the first season was a bit of a bore)

My memory of events is extremely hazy, but as I recall, we had done our best to change the grim, dark future of humanity, only to realize that the future refused to change

So the only option left was to basically double down on time-fuckery by undoing the changes to the timeline that were made before we realized that there was some serious poo poo at work, meaning that the first order of business was to save anime by undoing the time-text message that unmade it in the first place

Yep, that's correct. Toei also got lazy and didn't do any color correction as they did Buu in-house rather than having Q-Tec handle the remastering, so the entirety of the Buu portion has a green cast to it.

Shame Funimation likely won't fix that for video either. Probably can't.

And that's a Toei remaster job? poo poo I thought Q-Tec was typically kinda poo poo and remasters from them are like they smeared vaseline on the footage.

Q-Tec is garbage when it comes to upscaling SD masters to HD, but working with actual digital HD or film sources, they're quite talented. They also do a huge amount of compositing and other editing work for various studios. They did the heavy lifting on the rest of Kai based on Toei's editing instruction.

And nope, based on the trailers Toonami has aired, the green cast is just as it was in the Japanese airings.
