Some more info on the upcoming Urusei Yatsura reboot: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-12-31/new-urusei-yatsura-anime-teaser-unveils-cast-david-production-staff-1-year-length/.181156 Also as I mentioned in the last thread, according to the official Twitter account they're "animating select episodes from the manga” and the feed has the name UY_allstars. So it’s not so much a complete edition as it is a best hits version A pity that Ataru will no longer be voiced by Piccolo though Larryb fucked around with this message at 00:09 on Jan 2, 2022 |

Waffleman_ posted:Understandable, I don't think they'd do a series the length of a full adaptation in this era of mostly 1 or 2 cour stuff. Out of curiosity, is there a particular reason why they’re reviving UY all of a sudden (like is this year a major anniversary for the series or something)?

Wonder if they’ll ever go back and finish Ranma 1/2 in animated form one day in that case Also out of curiosity, is Rumiko still working on a manga of some kind these days (also how’s her post-Inuyasha stuff)?

Tales of Woe posted:yeah it just sucks to see one of the higher quality studios spread themselves thin for a remake of an already good show. there's so little upside to this sort of project To be honest I personally think Ranma deserves a revival more than UY does (it’s the only adaption of Takahashi’s work that didn’t finish the manga if I recall correctly). Even with Takahashi's typical meandering/plodding forever to get anywhere, it does have a lot more character development and some interesting stuff the anime never touched that would be great to finally see animated such as the Musk Dynasty and Ryu Kumon...and I suppose the Bird People/Saffron at the end (the arc was weak even if it was the final one though I do like it finally gave more long-needed world building to Jusenkyo itself)

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:I personally think Rave Master is better than Fairy Tale on most aspects (characters that aren't Gajeel and Ezra, overall plot cohesion, less weird sex stuff, villains that aren't quite so toothless or boringly overpowered, more tense fights, etc.), so even if you didn't like Fairy Tale, you might like Rave Master. Rave Master is a lot tamer compared to Mashima’s other works, yeah. Out of curiosity though, is there a particular reason why the anime was never finished?

Clarste posted:Most anime never finish the manga story. Traditionally they would go for 26 or 52 episodes or so and then either make up an ending or just go "the adventure continues". IE: the 1st FMA anime versus the 2nd. More recently it's common to split them up into smaller seasons and only continue it if it seem profitable though, most likely because investing in 52 episodes that might flop is seen as too risky these days. True, the only older anime I remember actually going back and finishing the manga story later was Inuyasha (though Urusei Yatsura did do a movie adaptation of the final arc). Though some of the bigger shows like Dragon Ball and Naruto did manage to make it all the way through their respective manga.

Red Minjo posted:I watched and enjoyed the Haruhi Endless Eight and then didn't watch the rest of that season for some reason. You should do so, it’s good. I still wish they’d come back and adapt some of the other stories one day but without any new books being written as of late to promote that doesn’t really seem likely. I’m still hoping for Slayers to make a return one day as well since the author for that started writing novels again a little while back.

Waffleman_ posted:They've been doing SO MUCH for Slayers' 30th anniversary For example, the primary cast reprised their roles for a mobile game a while back so it’s not like they’re unwilling/unable to return (and I’m sure at least some of the dub cast would be more than happy to come back as well). Hopefully they’ll announce a new series or at least a movie/OVA before too long though.

Srice posted:Nothing official though I wouldn't be surprised if a new Koike movie gets announced this year since it has usually been about 2-3 years between each movie. Even despite the possible covid delays, if they don't announce a new Koike movie by the end of the year I'll be concerned though. Makes sense. Wonder if the next film will be CG like The First was or if they’ll switch back to traditional animation

Also apparently it’s connected to Fujiko’s previous solo series as well. Off the subject, a manga adaptation of the Inuyasha sequel Yashahime has been going on for a little while now: https://screenrant.com/inuyasha-yashahime-manga-adaptation/amp/ No official translation is available but a fan one is. Seems it takes a slightly different direction from the anime and is a little better in terms of characterization it seems. Larryb fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jan 29, 2022 |

Yeah, SSSS Gridman and Dynazenon are very good shows but basically the only connection the latter has to the former is the return of two specific characters (also Dynazenon itself is modeled after a support robot from the OG Gridman and there’s a direct reference to that series later on) The original live action series is alright for the most part but I kind of prefer the anime sequels more overall.

All 3 shows have surprisingly decent English adaptions as well (the Power Rangers style adaption of the original Gridman also has slightly more entertaining characters in my opinion and the main villain is voiced by Tim Curry).

Are you familiar with the Ultraman series? It’s basically that only in cyberspace and with a few extra robots added into the mix (also the protagonists are teenagers operating out of a basement as opposed to a military organization)
