So this is like an author reading Jojo and going "I could do that". I remember Scryed from my days watching anime dvds where it was sometimes advertised. I never saw it though. Other anime I remember from advertising that i never watched: Zone of the Enders, some show about the wild west where a spiky haired kid shoot a pterodactyl, Betterman, SoulTaker, uh.... thats all I remember.

Nuebot posted:For a small sample; Not more than a few panels after that, Zigmar tells Ryuho that Ryuho's mom wasn't killed in some freak accident with an Alter - instead, Zigmar convinced her to abandon Ryuho and fake her death. Oh, he also mentions that she was a MILF and he totally did her. The manga is absolutely crazy and actually finishes off the story with a complete time-travel loop. And that's to say nothing of the Super HOLY Alters, who have the most basic-rear end Alters but are so hideously over-tuned that they loop around to being completely overpowered. Kazuma's actual brother (Cougar becomes a surrogate older brother in the manga) has an Alter that's just... a magnifying glass. There's a titty monster whose Alter is a radio. And there's a dude who's basically the distillation of every 'training' eroge character that just applies 'knowledge' to destroy his opponent's willpower/turn Scheris into an S&M puppet (Yes, that is A Thing that happens and it is just as skeevy as you think it is). (He's pretty drat stupid though. He keeps shouting 'Viva Knowledge!' to use his Alter but doesn't even know that Viva is Italian and Knowledge is English. Which is exactly what Ryuho tells him off with before sending him into the shadow realm.) Anyways, manga aside I love the anime to death and: Super Jay Mann posted:This anime gets my eternal respect for ending the main story 2 episodes early so we could spend the remainder focusing on what everyone REALLY wanted to see, Kazuma and Ryuho beating the crap out of each other. This is absolutely correct. It's amazing that they never dropped Kazuma's relentless desire to make Ryuho eat dirt as being his entire motivation for becoming powerful enough to punch holes through the planet, and they allowed that conclusion to breathe for a solid two episodes after they showed the big bad how much of a jobber he actually was.

Good soup! posted:Crest of the Stars was on TechTV and I'm still stunned they ever bothered putting it on TV because the English dub is one of those things that is so bad I wondered how it even got made

S-cry-ed is also the first anime that made me realize that subtitles were a real thing and I should definitely try to appreciate the original Japanese VAs more. One of the bonus features on the DVD included dramatic readings of manga chapters by the VAs for Ryuho and Kazuma which was not dubbed. Although I appreciated Steve Blum's work on the dub, Ryuho's dub actor (Jason Spisak)... Let's be real here. There's no way his whiny, nasally voice holds a candle to Ryuho's original VA, Hikaru Midorikawa.

One of my favorite things is the two of them get to fightin and all the major characters who are still standing and have already had their "where are they now?" moments are just off in the distance doing watching it happen while doing their own thing and are all just like "oh cool, I guess they're doing this now  " as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Like patrons watching a game in a sports bar, it just owns so much

Brought To You By posted:I was going to say the dub wasn't that bad. Then I popped one of my DVDs in and yeah. It's absolutely garbage-tier It's baffling how it's so legitimately terrible, not even in a So Bad It's Good way. I'm assuming it was some part of how they were able to release it in the first place?? "Oh we are required to produce a dub, but gently caress it, no one will watch it anyway, just get whoever you know into a recording booth"
