Original

Didn't expect Xabungle to have anti American undertones since it's so lighthearted. Thought it was just a Gundam western on a desert planet. It's supposedly set on the desert planet Zora where "civilians" live in the harsh wasteland, while the "Innocent" elite live in protected domed cities that are illegal to attack.

Turns out it's actually set in a post apocalypic version of Earth where the Americans, the "Innocent", nuked everything and set up a new system where they have military bases everywhere (the domes) from which they control the "civilians", i.e the Japanese.

The nuke, the B-29 and the Earth world map showed inside the bridge of the new captured Iron Gear all hint to this. Other than that it's a fun show, pretty much a remix of the original Gundam with the White Base arc in a western setting.

I'm re-watching season 1 of Chaika.
I watched most of it when it was airing, but I fell off around episode 8 or 9, I don't recall.

It's fun! Chaika is cute.

Just finished Season 1, but it turns out I had in fact seen all of it before and it was just memory-holed. I guess it is a fairly mediocre series that aired 9 years ago.
I still like it, though. For all of its mediocrity and complete lack of attempt at worldbuilding and aesthetic, it's a fun show with some cool things like gun magic.

>>37008
I prefer real porn, a basis for which, is the only thing this softcore stuff is good for.

>>37008
Appreciate that you're still going.

>When people say they hate anime, this kind of show is what they are thinking of.
Something for which I'm grateful, even though I'm not interested in this particular anime. This kind of stuff helps keep certain riffraff away.

>>37008
This is a highly sexualised anime, but none of the girls look appealing or attractive to me at all.
Did they drop the ball on that? It looks like it only appeals to one particular 'type'.
Is there an ara ara milf with a full figure?

>>37008
I remember it being a huge disappointment even to everyone into this, but looking back I feel kinda bad that we were mean to people who liked it

>>37002
Yeah, and it's a shame too since the characters aren't half-bad at all.

>Also Curran is cute.
She really is.

Heavy. This episode was a more traditional horror tale, which is a nice change-up. It's also another one that I'd love to see be turned into a special with a higher budget.

>>36999
>I will say the spiritual approach makes more sense for Ghost Game than a more technological focus because myths, legends and the paranormal are the backbone of the series.
Its Digimon's take on GeGeGe no Kitarou, which is both good and bad. I like some degree of logical consistency, and the spirituality-technology combination contrasting with the franchise's original approach hurts my tiny brain.

>Especially Kiyo's chuuni poses in the evolution scene.
Yeah, his stunts are amusing, and even kind of cool.

>>37004
This episode was wild, and it already seemed like one of the higher-budget ones. Ghost Game at its best has a distinct cinematic feel, and I think that was evident this episode in both the visuals and the way it used the soundtrack to set the tone.
I'm excited to see what happens with MoonMillenniummon now on Hiro's watch. I think at least he'll be the key to get them to the Digital World. I would actually love to see Millie become an ally to the group.

Don't be an idolfag.

How closely is the anime adaption following the manga?

>>36553
fairly closely, I'd say. Its always hard to replicate the mangaka's personal tone of a manga but the show does a good job. really good anime and really good series

but, my main criticism of this show would have to be not enough romance between loid and yor. 68 chapters and they have made zero progress. all it does it make me support fiona

Somehow I was completely unaware until now that there was a second season airing. What the hell...

Buddy Daddies ~ a copycat anime?
Buddy Daddies or バディ・ダディズ is an original Japanese anime television series animated by P.A. Works and produced by Aniplex & Nitroplus.

A better title would be Baddie Daddies.

HAHAHA, I know all about that epic meme. Thanks for posting!
Tell everyone on 4chan how you made a big hit on TC with this post, they're be happy for you.

Just saw it; made me cry.

At least it's original. I'd personally have posted it to /lol/ unless it was paired with something else more substantive though.

>>36986
Necessary in what way? you mean something good, or something that's cemented in pop culture in a way that would make you feel left out if you haven't seen it? I think the later would be kinda obvious wouldn't it?

>>36986
Lainchan used to be good. But then the arisuchan/kalyx drama happened and all the high-quality posters left. Now it's full of schizos and generation Z kids, the thread you linked is an example of that.

Well, at least it's better than /g/

>>36991
>all the high-quality posters left
I wonder how many of them posted to tohno-chan since /navi/ still seems have quite a few good ones.

>Well, at least it's better than /g/
It's all over if this comparison is made.

>>36993
I'm dramatizing it a little bit... though pretty much all boards besides the tech boards are pretty shit, the technology boards are still pretty good. tc's /navi/ is better, but it's much slower.

>>36416
There's potential for a fantastic doujin otome game about Kokone breaking out of her shell and romancing the cast. Not just the other PreCure but Gentlu if you snatch her up early, or Takumi stolen out from under stupid oblivious Yui, or Kome-kome if you like oneeloli, or of course Narcistoru because he's the bad boy.

The next precure is actually going to have blue be the main focus?!

>>36517
I think it's meant to be okay because he takes it up the butt, so that makes him non-threatening to the girls while simultaneously protecting him from criticism by people who would be labeled as <derogatory noun> for complaining about him being there. Why they felt precure needed such a character? Hell if I know. It could be someone at Toei pushing a political agenda, but it's such a weird place to do it. Maybe their goal is to indoctrinate children from an early age? If anyone honestly thinks it's a creative decision, I have a bridge to sell them. He simply doesn't belong. Even if you put the sexuality aside, they're simply too old to be hanging out with kids like that. A middle aged woman hanging out with the group would be just as awkward. He's a tacked on third wheel in an already problematic season. It's like this season is a poorly made burnt cake, and he's the raw fish they slapped on top of it.

Saw the first ep. I wanted to keep an open mind about this, but man...
Starting with appearances. I don't hate the character redesigns as much as some other people seem to, but I do still think they're not great. They look a bit derpy. I don't know why they felt the need to give Vash a gaudy scifi looking arm. keeping the nature of his arm secret in the original meant he didn't have all his cards on the table, it was just one of the many tricks up his sleeves. It was logical to just have a normal looking arm.
A lot of the animation seems overly exaggerated, but that stuff isn't what really bugs me. In the original you have this desert planet, maybe it's a post apocalyptic earth, maybe it's a stylized version of the old west, maybe it's just a fantasy world. It takes time to peel away the layers and unveil the reality of the situation and why these people are on this planet, as we also slowly learn the backstory of our main character, who and what he is. Instead, the remake's opening scene throws that all out the window and explains everything upfront. By the end of the first ep they unveil Vash's brother is behind the disaster, that he's the big baddy of the series and so on. Can't say I much like the idea of dumping everything right up front. So instead we get this huge and abrupt shift from Eve Online to Boarderlands. I could see it working if the first ep or two was just life on the ship, establishing these character would make rem's loss and knives betrayal have that much more of an impact, instead they rush all that. Our first intro to vash shows him hung upsidedown and left to die, which I think is just their way of showing him with out stretched hair like his old look as a kind of nod to the original character design. That just left me wonder why in the hell the gang that did that wouldn't turn him in for the reward money. I feel like I could keep going on and on with things that seemed dumb or annoying but in the end, it just doesn't feel like it's very well thought out. Feels like they're just intending on going with style over substance, but it doesn't even look that great. I'll probably keep going, but my expectations are pretty low now.

>>36968
Remakes are always pointless. Every time it's the same shit. Going from cells to CGI is also a massive downgrade. I can't care.

I thought she might just show up latter, but it's sounding like Millie got cut from the remake and replaced by some drunken old man.

Why the crap would you do that?!

Look what I found!

>>36616
Manly as fuck. RIP.

Goes to show the power of appealing visuals, even if most people don't actually understand it they notice.

I don't want to wait 2+ years for season 2!

I know the tracksuit is a common trope with hikineet types in anime, But it feels like to me it would stand out a lot more than any other type of clothing, especially in a bight pink color. Wouldn't that defeat the point? The point being as far as I understand it: (correct me if I'm wrong) to avoid standing out, being seen in an embarrassing school uniform as these are technically allowed in schools, or have people notice you don't change your cloths after school. A normal uniform seems like it would make more sense for these. This stands out a lot more than a uniform would, and there for would be more embarrassing to me especially with the associated trope. It might hide never changing, but so would a uniform.
